NEW YORK, Nov calvin
Coolidge ruled a strong favorite
in the betting today as the
American people once more
trekked to the polls to elect
their president.
With fair weather general,
however, and an increased reg
lstration that forecast the great
est vote in history, it was con-
celvable that the final deci-
sion would rest with between
100000 and 100000 voters
casting their ballots for the
first time this year. The I'M
known trend Of this vote caused
vastly mere uncertainty about
the outcome today than there
was two weeks ago.
The most cheer for the Democrats
that the New York World (strongly
for John w. DaYs) could muster in
its headlines was the following:
Coolidge Victory Forecast. -
Such wagers as were placed as
the actual voting began today were
of the number of electoral votes

money was placed on ability to
name four states that La Toilette
would carry. Those who ventured Il
risk on this selected Wisconsin,
North and South Dakota and Minnie
sofa, with some favoring Nebraska

Much Speculation
1t was conceded generally that La
Toilette would not get the electoral
vote that was won bv Theodore
Roosevelt in 1912 Wien ne ran see
ond to Woodrow Wilson with SO
votes in the electoral college but
there was great interest in observing
whether La Toilette woui37 poll the
popular vote of over 100000 poll
ed for Roosevelt in that election.
With 26G electoral votes necessary
to win, conservative Republican
spokesman forecast not less than 300
for Coolidge, while optimistic Demo
cratic spokesman figure Davis to
win with between $50 and 300.
For the 80 seats III the United
States senate there are eighty can
didates, while for the 435 seats in
the house that are to be filled there
are 920 candidates. In addition to
voting for Il President one third of
the senate and the entire house of
representatives, the people elect to-
day governors, other state Officers,
state Legislators and thousands of
minor officials, county and local.
1t is through these secondary of
fees that currents of political
thought have developed which have
made definite predictions on the
outcome of the election somewhat
more uncertain than would seem ne
cessary otherwise.
The Ku Kiuy Klan, prohibition,
religion and other issues have stalk
ed through the campaign, giving un-
usual twists to the possible complex
ion Of the victory in many sections.
1t is in contemplation of this situa-
ton, added to which is uncertainty
about the women 5 vote this year,
that the Democrats see a chance for
victory and the La Toilette Inde

Funds Being Raised by

Big Cities
b. Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Finding
the public slow in responding to ap-
peal for funds to finance the Ameri-
can expedition to the Paris Olympic
games, the American committee may
ask congress for. an appropriation.
The committee cannot provide
first class transportation and fur
nish adequate accommodation in
Paris for the athletes without q
fund of $350,000 and the present
contributions are far less than one
fifth of that sum.
Major General Allen, executive
officer of the American committee,
is understood to have made IN eff
fort to interest Washington in the
games. While no promise of finad-
cial help was obtained, he found the
war department Every materially
interested III the success of the
games.
Funds now are being raised
through sub committees in all of
the important cities. There has
been some response TO the appeal,
but contributions have been much
less than anticipated.
General Allen feels the public is
disposed to think that the games
coming in midsummer, are rather
remote now and that there is plenty
of time for raising of the money.

ONGRESS MAY FINANCE i. S. .Ol YMPIC TEAMS
CAL.IPATRIA AND
BRAWL.EsY TEAMS
GIVE UP GHOST

League baseball in Imperial Val
ley has rolled over and died, the
Brawlcy and Calipatria teams Civ
ing up the ghost yesterday when
they notified the Calcxico and Mex
icalr teams that they could not fin
ish out the season as the northern
teams had di66anded.
The struggles of the Imperial Val
ley Winter League to make a show
ing this year we're really pitiful in
view of the splendid records made in
former years. The games this year,
except for those played in MeXicalf
and Calexico, were attend by small
crowds, and there was comparatively
little interest in them.
Ell Centre made the feeblest of
efforts at starting, but lack of sup
port prevented the team from ap-
pearing i'll more than one game. At
that time is was impossible to get
the necessary financial support that
the team required. Reports of large
sums collected i'll Brawley and Cali
patria to Back the teams of those
towns, seem to have been purely
imaginary in view of the present
collapse of the teams.
Considering the number of really
good ball players in the valley, as
well as the presence of many dyed
in-the-wool fans, it is to be regretted
that the valley cannot take advant-
age of the wonderful winter climate
with whIch it has been blessed and
produce strong, well functioning
league. The publicity to be derived
from playing the great national
game when most of the country is
snowbound, would do much to at
tract newcomers here.

tempt at independence King Fuad
took charge of Egyptian affairs early
In 1922. Under mis- reign visitors In
Egypt suffered more outrages than
had occurred In many years. Inde-
pendence had been proclaimed and
constitution adopted, but the country
was more troubled than before. Fl
nally, In November, 1922, the various
parties united TO oust the king. Fuad
purchased a palace near the outskirts
of Rome as a precautionary measure
and was justified In his selection. for
he was asked to abdicate.
A development which aroused much
more interest was the dramatic alb
dlcation Of Mahomet vi, sultan of
Turkey, on November II, 1922.
In April, 1922. the sultan appealed to
the Moslem world to ignore the d.
vorcing of the sultanate and caliphate
by the Angora government. But this
did not stop the growth of the Angora
party or the weakening of Moham-
med's influence. Early on the morn
ing Of November II. 1922. the sultan
fed from his palace In Constantinople
and placed himself under British
care. He took passage to Malta on
the British battleship Malaga and has
been living In seclusion at San Reno.
The late King Constantine lost his
crown twice since 1916. He ascended
to the throne In March, 1913, but the
spring of 1917 brought much trouble
to the Greek king. who was closely
tied up with the cause OF his brother
in-law, the kaiser. On June IL he was
deposed by the allies and fed TO
Switzerland. A plebiscite was held In
Greece in December, 1920, to deter
mine whether Constantine should
come back. He was recalled.
When Constantine returned to
Athens from his exile he was given q
tremendous ovation. and a great wave
Of popularity and patriotism followed
Reverses Of the army in Asia Minor
and Ats final defeat turned the tide
against the king. He abdicated the
second time on September a27, 1922
and he died the following January al
Palermo, Sicily.
