ance, Senator King indicated, until

NEW YORK, Nov. 2 (E9-The Cool

Besides, New York, Massachusetts,

Dispatch Gaze Fine Service
On Election Returns in It's
Bureau; Great CrotDd Present

Douglas people again had first
class service on elections returns
Tuesday right, through the election
returns bureau of the Douglas Daily
Dispatch. The store building at $40
eleventh street, only two doors from
the Dispatch office, was secured for
the occasion and fitted up with every
convenience for giving the people
the election returns as soon as the
checking CT votes began.
A special leased wire Of the Asso-
ciated Press brought in returns from
every section of the state. as well as
occasional returns from other states.
The special telephone election service
established in the bureau by A. A.
Sundin, local manager of the Noun =
tain States Telephone company Sc
cured the returns from all outlying
sections Of the county, and the staff
of the Dispatch secured the local ra-
turns.
The outstanding feature of the bu-
reau's operation last night was the
prorptness with which the returns
were received. AS early as o'clock,
within two hours after the polls
closed, the state returns began to
come in, and many complete precinct
returns from the county were re-
ceived by o'clock.
The precincts of the city, 10 in
number, together with that of Pirtle
vile, were handled by the members
of the Dispatch staff. Wilbur c.
Riley handled precincts 1, 2, ana
a; Harold l.. Henry took care of pre-
cincts 8 to 6 and Pirtleville, and
Earl c. Mccain took the returns from
precincts r, 8, 8 and 10. Due to the
splerdid cooperation given the Dis
patch and its reporters by those in
charge at the precincts, a complete
report of the local vote, as checked
in at 6, 8, II and o'clock, was
given at the bureau.
1t was impossible to estimate the
number Of people who took advantages
of the Dspatch's election return
bureau, for the reason that they
could not all get inside the build
ing. Sufficient be it to say that
the house was crowded to capacity
from early in the evening until near
midnight, when many began to go
home. Parking space was at a rre-
MUM at any point within a blosll
of the election bureau.
The Associated Press wire was
handled b. DR.. C. J. Wilkerson, while
the regular Associated Press wire
was being operated by G. A. Bentley,
the regular operator. The telephone
service was in charge of A. A. sun
din, manager, and Mrs. Mae Rose
Thompson, chief operator from the
Douglas exchange of the Mountain
States Telephone company. Both the

ernor Hunt clung tenaciously to a
lead of 1000 votes IN yesterdays
general election over his republican
opponent, E.. S. Clark, returns flow
ing into Phoenix from the IA couD-
ties in the state Indicated at 2:30
O o'clock this morning that the 'Ins"
were in to stay for another two years,
having withstood the onslaught Of
the republican candidates through a
days balloting which was character
lied by unusually heavy voting and
a decisive defeat of Senator Ralph
H. Cameron, republican, by his demo-
cratic opponent, Representative Carl
Hayden. Lewis w. Douglas democrat,
had gone to bed with the assurance
that he would represent the state in
the lower house of congress. His
lead over o. J. Baughn, republican,
had increased steadily during the
nights compilation of returns until
the son of one Of Ar.zona's copper
magnates, J. S. Douglas, had tucked
away comfortable majority of
something like 5000 votes.
Interest centered in the Hunt Clark
races and the Cameron Hayden bat
tie of ballots, the latter by virtue
of the fact that the republican IN.
cumbent had preferred charges
against the democratic state centraa
committee which involved Hayden.

GERMANY TO AID
Accepts Membership In League Committee To Study Council Rc- organization Program.

Berlin, April 1 Pl--In accepting membership in the League of Ma lions commission which is to study reorganization of the league council, the cabinet took into account the fact that the German delegation 10 the last league meeting itself sug-
 gcsted creation of such a commis- sion.
 A further consideration was the fact that the siguers of the Locar- i no security pact agreed at Geneva that the Locarno policies must be continued. To refuse to participate { in the commission would have seemed contrary to those policies, it was declared.
 Germany is informed that France l is acting as though the reich was already q member of the league,
 and will give evidence of this in
 conncction with the resumption in
 Paris of the negotiations for aerial relations, broken off in 1924
 In governmental circles it is em- phasizcd that Gcrmany's freedom of action is in nowise infringed by
 participation in the league reorgan- 1 ization commission.
