More than 500 leaders in Washing

cabinet circle and of the diplomatic
corps, will attend the twenty-ninth an
nual chrysanthemum show of the De-
partment of Agriculture today as guests
of Mrs. William M Jardine, wife of the

More than 5000 students from %
public schools. four colleges and eight
academies visited the show yesterday,
swelling the largest single days attend
ance in the entire 90 years that the
show has been open to the public.
Throughout the day there we're long
waiting lines.
Large Crowd Expected Today.
In expectation of a record breaking
attendance again today, n force of
gardeners worked Friday night and last
night rearranging a large number of
the plants on display.
The new imported Japanese POM
pom seeding named by Mrs. Jardine
for Peggy Ann Hoover, granddaughter
of the President-elect, is attracting
much attention, as it is one of the most
distinctive blooms In the show. Prob
ably more plants of this variety will be
grown next season than of any other
plant among the more than 1000 in
the show More than 60 commercial
growers have registered their intention
to propagate this new variety

"I-TOLD-YOU-SO"
VGG w w
BRIGADE SILENT
North Carolina Still Demo.
cratic in Spite of Big
G. O. P. State Vote.

RALEIGH, N. c., November 10.-The
"T-told-you-so" brigade has no men,
bers in North Carolina following Tues
days election in which there were
actually more straight Republican bal
lots cast than were given the Demo-
cratic ticket
The State is still Democratic, but the
Republicans polled ass per cent of the
total vote for their State ticket and
$50 per cent for Hoover
Before the election supporters of
Smith were unable to place bets even
by offering odds of and 3 to on the
outcome of this State.
There are plenty to be found now
who claim no surprise that Hoover car
ried the State, but there is no one who
is not amazed that he received SUBJ
Stantially the same plurality given o.
Max Gardner, Democratic candidate for
governor.
Almost complete returns for the elec-
tion show that the total vote approxi-
mated 635,000, with the Republican
State ticket running ahead of the Dem
ocratic national ticket and Hoover and
Gardner receiving pluralities of approx
mately $4,000 and $4,000. respectively.
In the face of what happened the
amazing thing is that the Repub-
lIcans bored into the solid Democratic
delegation in Congress for the first time
since 1916.
Representative A. l.. Bulwinkle. now
serving his fifth term, was defeated by
C. A. Jonas. Republican national COM
mitteeman, and zebulon Weaver. now
serving his seventh term. was defeated
by George M. Pritchard, son of the late
Judge Jeter c. Pritchard.
Local considerations seem to have
been big factors in both of these races.
Mr.. Bulwinkle. who lost by about 1,5OO
votes, had a bitter primary fight. the
scars of which carried over into the
election and a controversy over local
taxes cost Weaver his own county OF
Buncombe.
An ANALYSIS of the vote cast Tuesday
shows that the total OF 635,O0O was
llncer expectations and that the stay
at-hone vote seems to have been prac-
tically all Democratic. Only about 1000
voted the Democratic State ticket and
did not vote any national ticket, the
bulk of those who had said they would
not vote either Hoover or Smith ap-
uarently staying away from the polls
altogether. It is also apparent that
Democratic hopes and Republican fears
of a considerable Republican vote Tor
smith on account of wet views and pre-
convention hospitality to Hoover were
almost completely groundlesS. Approx
matelv $4,000 voted the Democratic
state ticket and the Republican ma
tional ticket, Smith losing only about
IS per cent of the Democratic vote.

The record-breaking attendance at
the show this year, and the con1menda-
tion of judges that it is by far the best
show ever held for number, variety,
quality and coloring, gives rise to hope
by officials that during the coming year
more suitable, modern exhibition con-
servatory will be provided in which sea-
son flower shows can be held throughout
the entire year
Members of Congress have promised to
support legislation providing for such
an exhibition conservatory, but the
actual passage of the measure has been
delayed until it was definitely settled
where the department greenhouses will
be removed to make way for the new
National Art Gallery, which is to oc-
cupy the site of the greenhouses.
1t is probable that the greenhouses
will be located on land adjoining the
new National Arboretum, but it also is
certain that an exhibition conservatory
will be provided in connection with
the building of the group of new build
ings for the Department of Agricul-
ture. This matter is expected to come
become the incoming short session of
the Seventieth Congress, which meets
in three weeks.
