'HOOVER IS CERTAIN OF MORE - THAN 400 ELECTORAL VOTES ' REPUBLICAN PARTY VICTOR | ELECTED AS NEXT PRESIDENT \ * N FIGHT FOR *HOOVER HAS " Democrats Believe Fail- ure of Sixth Ward to Produce Expected Support for Smith Partly Responsible for Defeat. More Votes Cast in First Ward Than Appeared On Check List One Hour Before Polls Are Closed. ‘The republican ticket carried this city in yesterday's balloting, having a plurality of 389 votes, which is 5,684 less than the G. O. P. candi- dates had in the last presidential clections. The result was: Hoover, 10,099; Smith, 9,708, All voting records were shattered during the day as 20,205 electors passed through the polling places, representing 94.7 per cent of the cligible total of 21,331. In the first ward an hour before the polls closed more votes had been cast than the total of names appear- 113 on the checklist, this conditoa; resulting from the issuance of an inaccurate list. The names of elec- tors who proved their voting right were written on the official list in longhand. Sixth Ward Fails Democrats ‘The sixth ward which falled to give the democratic ticket the sup- port expected and cost the party the * election, had the largest number of “stay-at-homen,” 233 having falled to vote in the district. In the ward, 4.309 of the 4,642 listed went to the ! polls. . The fifth ward gave Smith a 1,601 majority, a considerably greater number than had been expected. Qut of 3,392 eligibls, 3,222 came to vote, 170 names remaining un- checked. But 174 of the ' 3,953 third ward electors failed to vote. The fourth ward had 2,218 votes and 130 ab- sentees, while the second ward re- ported 155 absent and 2,583 voting. Although at first inclined to re- gard the tariff issue to have swung tho election, the democrats now be- lieve other issues determined the re- sult, It is pointed out that the fifth ward electorate is composed almost entirely of men and women em- ployed in industrial plants, yet this district gave the democratic ticket a plurality far beyond the expectations of either party. 2 Sixth Ward Conditions Chasiging The failure of the sixth ward to come through with the expected plurality of from 1,800 to 2,000 is attributed to the changing political complexion of the district which has come with the development of the area to the north and east. That it is still a rockbound democratic ward is clearly shown by the large ma- jorities given in this and in the city election, but the fifth ward yester- day stepped to the fore as the “bagk- bone of democracy in New Brita!n”, an appellation which has been ap- plied by spellbinders to the sixth ward for many years. Political analysts last night point- ed out that the democrats would not have carried the city even if they had brought out a 100 per cent vote in their strong districts. The total of absentecs in the fifth and sixth wards was 403. Allowing the republicans but a fraction of the average they maintained through the day, the democrats would not have offset the 289 republican lead, it was pointed out. More interest was evidenced in yesterday’s election than in any poll- ing in marly years. At 11 a. m., 60 per cent of the voters had been heard from, and at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon, an 80 per cént vote had been recorded. Confidence dominated the warripg political camps throughout the da When the returns of the fiftth ward were recefved and the great demo- cratic majority became known, both the republican and the democratic headquarters considered the city had given 8mith a lead, but when the sixth ward total was announc- (Continued on Page 10.)

They were aoccompanied by young women and were making as much nolsg as they could te inform everyone along the street that the outcome of the election suited their taste.

HERBERT C. HOOVER JUDD BELIEVES PEQPLE WANTED G. 0. P. TARIFF Republican Chairman Says It Was Factor On Election Day Republican victory in this yesterday was acribed by William H. Judd of the party’s town committee to confidence in Herbert Hoover and the republican policies and to the people’s attitude on the tariff question. Mr. Judd today made the following statement: "It is gratifying that New Brit- aln has again returned a majoriip for the republican party in a presi- dential election. New Britain not only gave Herbert Hoover, Gover- nor Trumbull and the rest of the ticket here a sizeable plurality, but also elected to the state legislature, Ernest W. Christ, Thure Bengtson and William F. Lange, who will ably represent this city in the general assembly. | “The people ‘of New Britain in- dicated by their vote yesterday, in my opinion, that they have faith in city Herhert Hoover and the republican | party, and furthermore, they voted for the candidates of that which has always upheld and given the country, the. protective tariff, so vital to the thousands of men and women who are employed by ths industries in this city. * - : The campaign in New .

Although Wall street election odds were five to one on Hoover when the campaign closed, the removal of all uncertainty as to the presidential outcome released a flood of pent-up bullish enthusiasm which created one of the wildest markets in recent months.

Man Thought lnsané Makes Escape From Police Headquarters After Opening Lock On Door of Cell William Miller, Lock Inspector at P. & F. Corbin’s, Departs Without Difficulty — Said to Have Threatened Acquaintance — Took Guin. of Cyanide of Potassium In Factory. Willlam Miller, aged 30, of 1059 Stanley street, broke out of the po- lice station this forenoon by remov- | ing the back of the lock on the in- side of the iron barred door open- ing from the women's cell block into | the passageway between the police building and the H.

Having been employed in a factory as an In- spector. of locks for several years, he was able to use a clothes hook which he unscrewed from the wall in one of the women's cells, to take out two screws which held the back of the lock in place, after which he operated the lock with his fingers and the door swung open without attracting the attention of anyone in the building. Found Within Short Time Miller's liberty was short-lived, however, Officers H. C. Lyon and Joseph Kennedy locating him on Farmington avenue, near Osgood avenue, and bringing him back to the police station.

The five republican congressmen were reelected by substantial plurali- ties although when the early returns came in from the cities which are largely voting machine places it looked as if they would have a hard time weathering the democratic tide, but here again the towns which, using thes paper ballots, were late in reporting their count gradually recled up the margins which car- ried them safely to victory.

In the defeats went down Mrs. Alice Patterson Merritt. twice a member of the upper branch from the second district for two sessions, and Mrs. Hannah Draper Townshend in the eighth district. but Miss Mary Weaver, a veteran legislator in the house, won for the senate in the 32nd district. House Elections The house of representatives saw slight democratic gains, again due to their strength in the cities and in the industrial towns in the north- eastern part of the state.

Substantial republican majorities in both the senate and house were rolling in today behind the tide of Hoover votes. In the senate where they now have only a plurality of one, the republicans have captured six seats now held by democrats, and have apparently held on to all of their own 13 at issue in yesterday's elec- tion, Hoover In Kentucky The lloover wave in Kentucky carried with it nine republican members of the house of that state's representation of 11, and six of these republicans replace democrats. However, other defections In the Hoover :south in the presidential contest failed to make material shift 4n the normal representation of those states in the house. So the republicans have increused their present majority of 35 so far by lit- tle more than the margin given them by Kentucky. Four Democrats Lose , Four democratic senators along the Atlantic seaboard were bhowled over—Bayard, of Delaware; Bruce, of Maryland; Gerry, of Rhode Is- land; and Edwards, of New Jersey, two other seats now held by demo- chats went to republicans. The vet- eran republican representative Theo- dore E. Burton, of Ohio, was elect- ed to the place now held by a demo- crat, Cyrus Locher. The senate membership voluntarily relinquished by the democratic warrior, James A. Reed, of Missouri, has gone to a republican. West Virginia Senator Neely, democrat, of West Virginia, is lagging behind his re- publican opponent, and Senators Kendrick, democrat, of Wyoming, and Dill, of Washington, democrat, have real battles on their hands but are leading. Senator Henrik Shipstead, of M:n- ber, and all of the independent bloc of three republicans and two demo- crats are leading. Dill, Democrats Take, Too Democrats were taking as well as giving, however, in the house. They took one of Philadelphia's prize re- publican districts in defeating Rep. James M. Beck., former solicitor general, a republican from the first Pennsylvania district. They sent a democrat, Harry Baker, to succeed publican, from the first. Iilinois dis- trict. Baker defeated Oscar De Priest, a Negro republican candi- date. Jeremiah E. O'Conell, a demo- crat, took the post of Rep.
