Smith BACKED
BY N. Y. VOTE
Defeat of Propo d
Amendment Per-
sonal Triumph

NEW YORK, n. ", Nov. 9.-tPl-
A new personal triumph for Cover
o Alfred Z. Smith has been re-
corded today by the electorate Of
New York state in the decisive de-
feat OF a proposed constitutional
amendment to have governors elect
ed in presidential years instead Of
every two years.
RalIying behing Smiths opposition
10 the measure, the voters duplicated
the recent action Of the electorate Of
New Jersey and buried the proposal
under an avalanche Of ballots. Re-
turns from virtually two-thirds Of
the state showed the plan lost By a
majority of more than SIS 900.
AT the same time eight other
amendments for which the governor
had conducted a vigorous statewide
campaign in which he FLASHED sew
cral times with Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt appeared from incomplete
returns to have been given favorable
maiorities almost as great.
Democratic chieftains regarded the
vote as emphatic approval Of the
leadership Of Governor Smith, and
saw in il a new boom for the gov
ernor as a candidate for the presi-
dental nomination.
In the election OF assemblymen,
the republicans made a net gain Of
three seats. With one Of the $50
districts missing, the complexion Of
the new assembly stood, republicans
81. democrats 60.
Clarence +. r. Hancock, republi-
can Of Syracuse was elected con-
gresham from the 35th district, TO
succeed the late w. w. Magee, re-
publican.
All socialists candidate were de-
feated including Justice Jacob Pank-
en- Of Manhattan. the only one OF
his party on the bench In the state.

GARNER QUESTIONS
MILLS WITHDRAWAL
Asks Why Representatives, Resig'
nation Was Delayed After
White House Visit.

House Republicans were asked yes
terday by Representative Garner,
Democrat, Texas, why the resignation
of Representative Ogden L. Mills. New
York, was announced in the House
yesterday and withdrawn later in
Speaker Longworth's private office.
why did Mills. after a visit to the
White House, decide to remain In the
House instead of Immediately accept
ing the duties of the Undersecretary
of the Treasury" demanded the
Texan.
Then, without waiting for a reply,
proceeded. Il don't know whether
Mills is to stay because of the McNary-
Haugen farm relief bill that is coming
up; whether it is because of alien
property or whisky bill, or whether
the President feels there isn't another
member on the Republican side who
has the capacity to put over his views"
Garner then said he considered Mills
perhaps the ablest member in the
House on taxation and regretted to
see him leave.
Speaker Longworth explained Mills
letter of resignation had been with
held from the Congressional Record
after the New York member had de-
cided not to resign. but, at the request
of Garner and Representative Gar
rett. the Democratic leader, he
agreed to have it printed.
