Following are some Of the comments
Of the New York press on the election
and RooseyeIt's share III the result:
The Evening World says:
The impulse that moved SO many
voters to cast their ballots yesterday
IN biz majorities for democratic can
dldates had It's origin in the very
heart Of The people. ii was not a
party victory. It was a popular vic
Sory Il was protest against all that
y involved in the meaning Of Roose-
veltism 1t was reassertion Of the
aspirations Of genuine democracy.

defeat Of his efforts TO force his way

great parties Of the country is as
auredly one Of the most gratifying
successes popular government has
ever won"
The New York Globe makes this
comment.
No election result in many years

RUMORS OF SETTLEMENT
Lawyer for Woman Declares That
the Other Side Is Sparring

NEW YORK, May 13.-There was a
prompt response yesterday to the suit
brought by Mrs Margaret Johnson Johns
for $4,000 from the estate of Robert
Hoe, the multi-millionaire press manu-
facturer who died recently.
Many rumors Of settlement circulated
through the legal storm center, but de-
spite these Frederick w. Crane and
Phineas P. Chew. executors under the
will of Mr. Hoe. filed an answer to Mrs.
Johns suits through Edward Z. Pr1ngie'
attorney for the estate.
The answer denies that December IL,

Metropolitan Trust Company made out
in the name of Mr. Hoe, and denial Is
also made of any knowledge OF written

Johnson. who has earned a comfortable
fortune. then | am with my daughter
from start to finish. The fight must
be one sided, as we have all the right
on our side. But l hope there is not to
be a fight and am only anxious for my
daughter's sake to have the case forgot
ten There has not been even suspicion
of wrong on her side"
Lawyer John f. East. who represents
Mrs Johns, said he did not think the
answer to her complaint indicated that
any fight would be made by the Hoe
estate.
.'There may be some reason, he said.
"why the estate, large as it is. has no
ready money at the present time to settle
Mrs. Johns claim. We nave played the
game in the open. All of the documents
signed by Mr.. Hoe and witnessed before
the most reputable firms in England have
been shown to the executors 1t seems
to me they are fighting for delay. and
there may be many reasons for that. The
Hoe estate has just been incorporated
and it may be that the lawyers wish a
court order to settle Mrs. Johns claims.
ION enc point l hope the newspapers
and the public will have no misunder-
standing Mrs. Johns was Mr.. Hoes
ward-just that and nothing else. She
was a daughter to him. She cared for
him. she made his last days easy. He
was interested in her plans. They were
the best of friends and she is acting on
high moral and legal grounds in this
case
