People Decided Right,
Hays's Comment on Vote

Will II. Hays. chairman of the
Republican, National Committee, ex-
pressed his enthusiasm over election
returns and said:
Senator Harding has been elected
Precisely as had been the case since
the founding Of the Republic, the Amer
lean people, when confronted with a
grave decision, have decided right. The
returns seem to show an unparalleled
majority for Republican candidates. 1t
is an extraordinary degree of agree
ment as to whom they want to conduct
their coming affairs and the course
they want to pursue"
At o'clock this morning Chairman
Hays sent the following telegram to
Senator and Mrs. Warren G. Harding:
"Once more the American people in
real crisis have rendered wise and
just verdict. Never have they spoken
more wisely. Never have they made
their wishes so plain. Not only does
the victory demand my admiration, but
the great American who meritcd and
won that victory commands my admi-
ration, my respect and my affection.
Heartiest congratulations and affec-
tionate greetings to you both"
To Governor and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge
he sent the following:
"All America rejoices in the momen-
tous decision that was rendered yes
terday. Heartiest congratulations and
atfectlonate greetings to you both"

GENESEO, N. Y, Nov. 2.--As soon
az Senator James W. Wadsworth, whose
home is just south of this village, had
voted this morning in the polling place
over the blacksmith's shop he disap-
pcared from public view. Friends who
came seeking him with encouraging
news concerning the election were an
able to discover where he had gone.
He turned up soon after the polls
closed and verified reports that he had
been engaged in an important mission.
He had been over to North Chilli, he
said, and had bought pair of Strop-
shire rams. He spent the evening re-
cciving returns with Attorney General
Charles D. Newton, Deputy Attorney
General Frank X. Cook, Otto Kelsey
and other friends.
"Thc people have rejected Mr.. Will
son, Mr. Cox and the politics and per-
formances of the Democratic Admins
tration," said Senator Wadsworth.

that the five Socialists expelled from
the Assembly had been reelected.
They are: Louis Waldman and
August Clacssens, in Manhattan; Sam
uel Orr and Samuel A. Dewitt in the
Bronx, and Charles Solomon. in Brook
lyn. In addition Marion II. I.aing,
Socialist candidate for assemblyman in
the 9th Assembly. was reported as
probably elected" in the late returns.
Mr.. Claessens. it WAS declared at
the Office of the Socialist party, was
attacked in a polling place at 1925 Fifth
Avenue, in the l7th Assembly distri:t,
when he attempted to protect Social
lst voter from interference.
Watchers Kept From Booths
Mr.. Gerber charged that many So
cialist watchers were not admitted to
the polling places in that district, while
others were refused permission to OBJ
tain rcliefs after the closing Of the
polls. Mr.. Gerber also asserted that
many Socialist ballots were mutilated
and many voters were interfered with.
Adolph Gerber, New York organizer
issued last night from Socialist head
quarters, charged that "the usual tactics
Of intimidation and coercion followed
by henchmen of the old parties in pre-
vious elections were also evident in
this election to-day"
The five expelled Socialist Assembly,
men, who were gathered at the Rand
School at midnight felt confident they
had been reelected.
Socialists assembled at the Rand
School. the Stuyvesant Casino and the
local party headquarters were indig-
nant over what they said purported to
l.
under their observation during the
day.
In an effort to halt what he regarded d
as discrimination against Socialist
voters, Mr.. Gerber telephoned to John
R. Voorhes, president of the Board
of Elections, IN the afternoon, saying
that an election board in the 9th AS
sembly District had been treating So
cialist voters and watchers "discour-
teously." issioner Voorhes immc-
diately dispatched a representative to
the polling place with orders to enforce
the law impartially.
Samuel Beardsley, Socialist candidate
for State Senator in the 14th .3eaa-
torial District, Manhattan, also lodged
complaint with Mr.. VOORHEES, of irregu-
larltles on the part of election officials
Mr.. Beardsley asserted that "votes
are openly bought. Mr. NoOrhes
ordered all Complaints investigated
Socialist officials declared they intended d
to bring all cases OF gross irregulari-
ties" to the attention OF the District
Attorney.
Mr.. Corner said last night that in
the polling booth at Broome and Ridge
streets, the 18th Election District Of
The 4th Assembly District. three and
four voters were permitted to vote in
a singl booth. The patrolman who
objected to this method, he said, was
removed and about twenty strong arm
men were permitted to intimidatc the
Socialist watchers.
In strong Socialist districts only
small ballot boxes were used, Mr.. Ger
mer said. and when these were filed
rods and sticks were used to jam the
ballots down and thus many were
mutilatcd. Wien the ballot boxes were
filed, he declared, other receptacles
not official, were used

Campaign managers of the Socialist
party, in a statement issued at mid
night from the Office of the party, 7
East Fifteenth Street, claimed that, on
the basis Of returns, Eugene V. Debs,
the Socialist candidate for President,
had polled between 100000 and 3,000,

that Joseph D. Cannon, the party's
candidate for Governor had poled be-
tween 250,0cO and 100000 votes. On
the basis of returns from 2,507 pre-
cncts in greater New York, which gave

Gerber would make no claim Of the

dates for Congress in the greater city.
Meyer London Defeated
Returns from the 18th Congressional

Gated that MI London had been de-

returns from the 14th Congressional

D Perlman, fusion caiddate, defeated
Algernon Lee, Socialist. In the Goth
Congressional District, where the
Socialists worked desperately to elect
Morris Hillquit, their candidate
against Congressman Siegcl, fusionist,
the race appears to be close. Neither
Mr.: Gerber nor Mr. Hillquit would
make any claims. At midnight Mr..
Hlllquit made the following statement:
Il nave nothing to say. The returns
are too indefinite to form basis for

There were no returns definite enough
