SMITH IS winner
IN RHODE ISLAND
Governor Runs ,493 Votes
mead of Hoover in Close
Ballot Fight.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PROVIDENCE, r. l.. November T.
Gov. Alfred E. Smith carried Rhode
Island by 1.493 votes.
After a night of doubt, during which
the ultimate outcome could not be
guessed, the final figures were Smith,
ll8,o51; Hoover, 1l7,458. 1t was not
until the vote of 194 of the States 1876
precincts had been compiled at 4:40
o'clock this morning that Smith gained
a lead of 2,728 votes over Herbert
Hoover, lead which the latter cut
down but could not erase.
The big surprise of the election, in
view of Gov. Smiths victory, was the
defeat of United States Senator Peter
G. Gerry for reelection. Senator
Gerry, chairman of the advisory board
of the Democratic national committee,
was expected to poll heavier vote
than Smith, but instead lost to Felix
Hebert by a margin of 1891. The vote
was Hebert, 1906; Gerry, 116,065.
The results of other important con-
tests were as follows: Congress-First
district. Burdick (Republican), 41,9l9:
Cooney (Democrat), 1884 Second
district, Aldrich (Republican), 43,750:
Mowry (Democrat). 35,122. Third dis

ciaD The voting here yesterday was
the most orderly in the annals Of the
Alexandria Police Department, accord
ing to City Manager Paul Morton and
Police Capt. w. w. Campbell, despite
the greater amount of interest displayed
and the record vote cast. The streets
last night were practically deserted,
compared with elections in the past.
This is attributed to the fact that
great majority of the people interested
in the returns remained at their homes
and heard the radio reports.
Charles Smith, 26 years old, was held
for action of the grand jury when ar
raigned before Judge William S. Snow
in Police Court this morning on a
charge of grand larceny. A warrant for
his arrest was sworn out by Joseph P.
Krukin of Norfolk, who told police
Smith stole approximately 5000 worth
of clothes from his automobile.
Bessie Stewart, %, colored, charged
with shooting Robert Harris, also
colored, October 18 last, was held for
action of the grand jury, while Harris
was held for the grand jury on a charge
of perjury. He told the court he did
not know who shot him.
P. G.. Payne, 26, of Fredericksburg,
Va, was fined $90.50 and James Sibert,
%, colored, was fined $7o.50, both for
violating the prohibition law. Arthur
Grigsby, colored was fined $24 for
drunkenness, while John Dunnett, 20.
and Charles Ross, AZ, were fined $14, and
George Kelly, Al, $19 for drunkenness.
Charles Carroll, %, and Frank Page,
25, both colored, also were fined $14 for
drunkenness. C. L. Goodwin and DON
