beautiful weather prevails here today, and
the indications are that a mammoth vote

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, November. AT
noon reports had been received at the state
office of the Associated Press, from all sec
tions of the state. These reports unani-
moGsly announce the polling, of a vote
which will probably prove to be the heay-
lest ever polled in Connecticut. In some of
the cities and larger towns local contests
are being bitterly fought. and the interest
Is everywhere intense. From these reports
1t is to be inferred that the gold demo-
cratic vote will not be as large as pre-
dicted by that party'S managers, the voters
with such tendencies at the last moment
declaring that they would vote for the re-
publican national candidates.
1t is considered to be a safe and con-
servative estimate that Connecticut's count
will show republican majority about 49,
900.
