G 0. P, CONGEDES SEATS DOUBTFUL Democratic Veteran to Attempt Comeback in Nebraska ‘Washington, Oct. 238 (UP)—Con- fidential reports to republican lead- ers concede that 32 of their house seats are “doubtful” in the con- gressional election coming Novem- ber 4. The figure may be taken as the maximum which the administration expects to lose, and there is confi- dence among republicans that the loss may be considerably less Such an overturn would leave the republicans still in control of the house by 40 voteg, not a very strong majority in view of the unrest among farm bloc republican vot The farm group at times controls many mnore than 40 republican votes. By throwing their strength to the democrats, a coalition of sweeping power could be formed. Democratic headquarters is count- ing & minimum gain of 53 and pub- licly claiming their gain will be 58 or more. To get actual control, they need a gain of 52 seats, the lineup of the present house being: republi- cans 269, democrats 165, farmer la- bor 1, with vacancies being counted for those who previously held the scats.

If a middle line between the claims of the opposing headquarters is taken, it is known that there ap- pears to be an even chance of th electorate reducing the republican majority of 104 down to about 64| seats, which would enable the re-| publicang to.gperate legislatively on almost the same expensive scale they have employed in the.present congress. list | Tries “Comeback” Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 23 (P—The | ability of a veteran senator to “‘come | back” after years of political retire- ment will be tested in the forthcom- ing Nebraska senatorial election.

In a bulletin issued by F. A. High, superintendent of the Nebraska Anti-Saloon League, both candidates for governor were described as “satisfactory” to the league. The only senatorial candidate to labeled ‘“satisfactory” by High is Mrs. Craig. Regarding Senator Nor- ris the Anti-Saloon League circular carries this comment: “'Voting rec- ord in senate dry.

See Difference of Opinion Martin's announcement was imme- diately construed in political circles opposed to Pinchot’s as another | manifestation of the opinion between the senatorial and | gubernatorial candidates concerning | |the wishes of the president in the | Pennsylvania battle. | Pinchot had given Davis as au- thority for the statement that Presi- dent Hoover was anxious for the suc- | cess of every candidate on the re- { publican ticket, while Davis had | | stated that the president had not en dorsed any candidate. The confl |ing statements were made in cam- | paign addresses in the western part |of the state. | “I am going same plat{o | Pittsburgh to with speak from the Mr. Pinchot in aturday night.” Secre- tary Davis said in his Washington | statement, “and 1 shall stay in the campaign in my state as much as 1 can until election day. speaking with Mr. Pinchot wheneve portunity “It will be nec |remain in Washin with the natio unemployme this weck. “Aside from this the compaign and 1 stand the reports that disagreement between my on the ticket and myself.” See Cost In Votes Philadelphia leaders who have |bolted Pinchot and are supportir for me to connection ary to forepart I can continue do not under- there is any associates cause of President Hoover's demand | difference of [ there is op- | lieve | of | John Hemphill, democratic-liberal candidate, were understood to have advised Davis it would cost him votes here if he mounted the plat- form with the former governor, and General Martin's statement was in- terpreted by them as an indication |that the advice had been accepted. |1t was predicted several days ago by local leaders that the secretary { would not appear at the rally here [next week .
