and soon the prison was subdued by
police with drawn guns.
1t was impossible for police to en-
ter the prison yard without being
shot down before even seeing their
quarry, SO Shippers, armed with rifles,
were sent to upper windows of the
criminal courts building, which Is
connected with the prison by the
famous Bridge Of sighs," and Of
adjoining Office buildings. From
these vantage points the prisoners
using the coal pile as fertilization
could be seen, and heavy firing be-
gan. The prisoners ran from the
coal pile and took cover under q
curved wall.
This gave them temporary protec-
ton but they were quickly spotted
and firing was resumed. In a clash
when the prisoners attempted to
rush through a door opened by arm
ed keepers Murphy was killed and
O'Connor wounded. The prisoners
were driven back into the yard, how
ever, and there they stayed making
frequent sallies against the forces of
the law, until they were all shot
down.
The Tombs, which has housed
some Of the most dangerous crimi-
mails the country has ever known, Is
carefully guarded and no explanation
could be offered how the prisoners
obtained their automatic pistols.
Smuggling pistols into the Tonbs Is
not unprecedented, however. as less
than two months ago two loaded
pistols and several steel saws were
found. At that time q platoon of
police was assigned to the prison to
act as extra guards to prevent any
possible attempt at Jail delivery.

Early Forecasts
Hold i'm Elections

New York. Nov. 3.-(P-Returns
from yesterdays elections in north
Atlantic states received today from
Isolated districts showed no reversals
of early forecasts.
In New York the victory Of Cover
nor Alfred Z. Smith for a fourth
term became even more apparent
when, with only 233 upstate districts
missing he had plurality of 272, 9O6
over his Republican opponent, Og-
den L. Mills.
Carried along on the Smith tidal
wave virtually the entire state Demo-
cratic ticket was elected with the
possible exception of that of At
torney General. Supreme court
Justice Robert F. Wagner, with only
lead of 137 OF over Senator James
w. Wadsworth, Jr., his Republican
opponent.
In Maryland Governor Albert c.
Ritchie apparently was reelected,
having a lead of 80, 592 over Addi-
son E. Mulliken, his Republican OPP
ponent. With only 1874 of the states
l,1S4 districts still to be heard from,
Mulliken, however, refused to con-
cede his defeat. Willard E. Tydings,
Democrat with only 101 districts
missing, continued to lead his Re-
publican opponent, Senator o. Z.
Weller, by A ,351
Elections in other eastern states
appeared settled except for adding
to the pluralities of the winners as
additional returns continued to come
in.
Returns from $500 of the 1884
districts in Pennsylvania gave Con.
gresham William S. Ware q lead of
226, S06 over William B. Wilson, his
Democratic opponent for the United
States senatorship. Ware, however,
ran far behind the balance of his
ticket, John s. Fisher swimming the
governorship over Judge c. Bonni-
well by the largest plurality ever
given a gubernatoriaf candidate in
the state. Returns from 6,531 out
of 1884 districts, gave him plural
ity of 636, 265.
Indications were that Pennsyl-
vania's representation In congress
from a solid Republican delegation
Of 80 would be changed to include
two Democrats.
Senator William NJ. Butler, per-
sonal friend of President Coolidge.
lost his seat in Massachusetts to
former Senator David I. Walsh.
Democrat, by about 10000, while
Governor Alvan Fuller, Republican,
receiving vote OF las, 900 over Will
liam A. CASTOR, Democrat, was re-
elected.
In New Hampshire, Senator
George HI. Moses was returned for
his second full term by majority
Of %, 412 over his Democratic oppo-
nent, Major Robert c. Murchie. In
the governorship fight. Huntley n.
Spaulding. chairman of the state
board of education, was elected over
Mayor Eaton D. Sargent.
Governor Aram J. Pothier, Repub-
lican. Rhode Island, was reelected
to that office for the seventh term,
defeating Mayor Joseph H. Gamer
by 1925.
Vermont elected as Governor John
r. Weeks, Republican, former
Judge and commissioner Of public
welfare, while Senator Porter III.
Dale, Republican, was reelected.
The Republican party made a
clean sweep in Connecticut where
Governor John H. Trumbull and
United States Senator Hiram Bing-
ham were reelected.

and Arthur r. Robinson in Indiana;
Tasker L. Oddie in Nevada, and
Samuel M. Shortridge In California.
The Republican seat contested by
former Governor Sweet of Colorado
apparently has been won by Charles
w. Waterman, who had lead of ap-
proximately 1900 with less than
fifty precincts still to report out of a
total of 1851.
Belated returns trickIing In during
the day showed the Democrats had
endorsed Senators Richard p. Ernst,
in Kentucky. Ralph K. Cameron in
Arizona, George III. Williams in Mis-
souri,, and Q. r. Weller In Maryland.
These were in addition to James w.
Wadsworth. Jr., who was engulfed in
the Smith tidal wave in New York;
William M. Butler, personal friend of
President Coolidge. who was over
whelmed by David /. Walsh in Mas
sachusetts and John W. Harreld in
Oklahoma, where the Democrats re-
gained control lost in the Harding
landslide in 1920.
The Democratic candidate In Ore
gon, Bert E. Haney, lost to Frederick
w. Steiwer. regular Republican, in q
close race in which Senator Robert
N. Stanfield, defeated for re-nomina-
ton, was running as an Independent.
Even with Steiwer5s victory the
Republicans will have only 4S seats
in the Senate after they have filed
the vacancy In Maine, caused by the
death of Senator Bert M. Fernald. The
Democrats will have AZ with the 9TH
er seat held by Henrick Shipstead,
Farmer-Labor, Minnesota.
Included among the forty eight
Republicans are three Insurgents
who won handily Tuesday, Smith w.
Brookhart. of Iowa, Gerald p. Nye Of
North Dakota, and John j. Blaine, of
Wisconsin, as well as Senators La
Toilette of Wisconsin; Frasier of
North Dakota and Norris and Howell
of Nebraska.
With only eight districts missing
late tonight, the Democrats had sue
ceeded in electing 1872 members of
the House; the Republicans 233
members; the Farmer Labors one
and the Socialists 1. OF the eight
districts missing four are now held
by the Republicans. three by the
Democrats, and one by the Farmer
Labors.
The Democrats made a gross gain
of Is, all from the Republicans, but
lost two to the majority party,
leaving a net gain of IS in addition
to the two seats they took from the
Democrats, the Republicans nomin-
ally gained one from the Socialists
but in that case Representative La
| Guardia of New York, now sitting as
a Socialist, elected to run this time
as a Republican.
