U. s. PROMISES JAPAN
 FAIR DEAL IN CALF.
No Anti-Jap Legislation Ac. ceptable That is
 Not Just.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Reassurances have been given to the Japanese am basSador by the state department, it was revealed in a formal statement today, that no anti-Jap panese legisla- ton in the state of California will be acceptable to the country at large that does not accord with existing and applicable provisions of law and with the national instinct of justice"
 The departments statement was prepared by Secretary Davis. It fol- lows:
 The movement in California to re- cast the state laws affecting alien land tenure has been receiving since its inception, the close and interested attention of the department of state. The relation of certain treaty pro- visons to the proposed measure is be- ing discussed clearly and ably in Cal ifornia and will doubtless prove an element in the states decision as to the adoption or rejection of the pro- posed measure. In the meantime the department has had nu- merous discussions of the most friendly and' cadid nature with the ambassador of Japan and it is believed he thoroughly realizes, as We have sought to make clear that no outcome of the California movement will be acceptable to the country at large that does not accord with exist ing and applicable provisions of law, and what is equally important with the national instinct of justice"
 Despite the fact that the formal statement comes on the eve of the election at which time California will vote on the question department off, cials said the statement had no politi- cal significance

QUESTION IS FOR OR. AGAINST THE LEAGUE
Roosevelt, in Final Speech, Declares Party or Indi-
 viduals Do Not Count.

Hudson, N. Y, Nov Franklin D. Roosevelt democratic vice-preeident- ial nominee. today closed his II weeks campaign in 30 odd states with an ad- dress in which he declared the issue is tightly drawn between Cox and our place in the league at it's head, or Harding and flat rejection
 Broadly speaking he said, the question at issue Is not one of individ- uals or of parties but whether the United States is to finish the war or quit cold; whether to join the other 70 odd nations in the great working league of nations that will serve to end war for all time, or whether we will turn our back on them and choose a policy of national isolation with its threat of future wars and the consequent burden of ever+growing 2 armaments."
 Mir. Roosevelt charged the republi- can party with inconsistency in that Senator Harding In appealing recently for a republican congress was doing the same thing over which they made "veritable howl'' when a similar ap- peal came from President Wilson in 1918. 'TBut I realize" he continued, it Is asking too much to expect con- sistency from the worlds greatest ex- ponent of the modern 'wiggle and wobble' policy"
 Looking back over the past II weeks" he said. one thought is up- permost in my mind. and it gives me deep and lasting satisfaction. We have fought a clean fight. There has been no mud-thnowing by me. no mis- representations. no attempts to mis- lead or deceive the people. no attempt to evade in any issue. In direct con- trast to the more than questionab ble campaign methods of our opponents we have fought fair. waging a cam paign worthy of the great moral issue VIC stand for. It is good to know that whatever the outcome tomorrow we can always feel that we have come through with clean hands"

FORMER BERLIN MAN
 DIES IN AUTO CRASH
Clarence E. Taylor One Vic. tim and Melrose, Mass,
 Man the Other.

New York Nov. Five preparatory
 school students and a young woman
 friend were injured when their auto
 mobile crashed into a tree near Hun
 ter's Island bridge in Pelham Bay
 park early today. The party was
 bound from New Haven to New York on the New Rochelle road, and. Philip
 Morgan Plant was driving the car. The injured: Philip M. Plant. frac- tured right leg and laceratioRs of the face; Miss Helen Jasman, 19, New York jaw fractured and decorations; Norman l.. Hussey IS. Norwalk. Conn. contusions of the back; Chester Moorehead, 20, Chicago, fractured nose and lacerated right eye; David Calhoun of St. Louis and Edward Her shey of st. Paul were shaken up. The young men all are pupils at Yale preparatory school at Norwaik. Yes-
 terday they went to New Haven to
 spend the day and were returning to
 New York with Miss Jasman said to
 be visiting here from Seattle.
 Clarence F. Taylor was a graduate of the New Britain High school and was mer,hcr of the local chapter of the Alpha Delta Sigma fraternity. He was the sor of MT. and Mrs. Jason 0S ci A-SuSisAS tSIs. e+IIu d Of Mrs. John F.annery formerly Miss Mildred Taylor of this city.
 There are two stories told as to how the automobile swerved to the side of the road and the occupant killed. Howard Curtiss who escaped unhurt told Jason Taylor, father of the dead man, that the cap over the light on the dashboard fell off and threw the rays of light into the eyes of the driver. Young Tayor bent to pick up the cap to replace it and in so doing lost control of the car.
 An expert from Hartford was put on the case and he reports that for stretch of 20 feet there is a gouge made by the broken rim of the rear wheel. In examining the auto he found the rim on the rear wheel broken and lays the blame of the ac- cident onto this.
 MT. Taylor stated this morning he was of the opinion that the bulb was uncovered and his son lost control of the car from the glare of the lights After the car swerved to the side of the road, the front mud guard was jammed under fence rail. This sent the rail through the windshield and pierced Tayor, the driver, in the chest. It cut the main artery and he died before medical aid coul be se- cured. The rail then struck Joseph Guppy under the chin. He also died before aid was possible.
 There is practically no damage done to the car with the exception of the broken mudguard and wind | shield. The funeral will be held from | his home in Meriden tomorrow after 1 at o. osto1o oo1y Stocking cemetery in Kensington at l 3 30. Fraternally he was a member l of the Royal Arcanum as we'll as the | Masons. He is survived by his wife 1 and one child, II years old. his 1 father and mother @nd sister

WITH OPENING OF POLLS LESS THAN "A HOURS AWAY, BOTH PARTIES FEEL
 SURE ULTIMATE VICTORY IS THEIRS
Last Day of Great Fight Centers Around Doubtful States - Ohio, With "A Votes, Important.

New York, Nov. With the open ing of the polls less than 24 hours away, both republican and democratic headquarters early today took up the stride which will carry them in the final scene of the presidential contest tomorrow either to victory or defeat.
 Both major parties began their last day of campaigning by reasserting confidence in the election of their candidates.
 Cox and Roosevelt will win" de- clared George White, democratic na- tional chairman.
 Will H. Hays, leader of the repub- lican forces, translated his expecta- tions into figures expressing the con- viction that Harding will have no less than 36s-probably 395 - electoral votes out of the possible 531. The number required to eject is 265.
 Interest in the last day of the great fight centers in the final desperate att tempt to bring over the "doubtfur' states ith large electoral votes to de- liver or to save United States sena- tors in other doubtful states where the electoral vote is not large enough to be indispensable. The salient example of states in the first category is Ohio, home state of the two principal candi- dates, with 24 votes, while the out standing case of the second class is Nevada win only three.
 Other states where the eleventh hour contest is intense, with both par ties sanguine of success, are Arizona, Kentucky. Maryland, New Mexico, Ten nessee, North Carolina and Oklahoma All these as we'll as the buckeye state are claimed by both republicans and democrats.
 Second only in interest to the out come of the voting is the subject what will the women do?" Leaders of both major parties disclaim pos session of advance information on what is to be expected of the new class of voters exercising their franchise in all the states for the first time.
 Speculation in ordinarily we'll in- formed political circles centers about the numerical proportion of women who will vote tomorrow in comparison with the male vote section distribution of the wona5i's vote, and the possibilf- ty. of its being as a whole independent enough to overturn tables of election probabilities compiled over period of years in
