EXPECT NEW HIGH
 VOTE IN ELECTION
Party Leaders Predict 90 Per Cent Of Electors WN Vote
WOMEN DECIDING ISSUE
Services in Churrhcs Tomorrow MoFuing-Local Met, Found Not Guilty-Iecture and Address at Kcnsingt0n Church.

Following the record vote that was cast in the annual town elec- tion, party leaders are freely pre- dieting that all previous voting fig ures of Berlin for presidential elec- tions will be completely shattered when the electors go t, the polls on Nov. 6 to cast their ballots. Like every other city and town in the country. the interest ir the president tial contest is causing unusual in- terest among the voters and over 90 per cent of the local electors are cxpected to vote. ThS local interest was clearly seen wien 444 eligible residents of the town appeared be- fore the registrars and the board of selectmen to be made voters.
 According to an announcement made this morning by the reistrars of voters exactly l7o2 residents of Berlin are eligible to vote in the coming election. This is a new fig ure for the town and leaders Of both parties are confident that most of them will exercise their voting franchise on electlon day.
 The republican voters of the town outnumber the Jeffersonians almost { to 1 and bBing their claims on the results of he town election. the G. o. P. leaders are predicting that Hoover will .arry the town by an overwhelming majority. The repuh- iicans scored one of their most de- cisive victories in years at the town election early in this month. Each district vent strongly republican. only one democratic candidate on the entire ticket receiving more votes than hts republican rival.
 However it is freely predicted that Gov. Aired Smith will make better showing in Berlin than any of the democratic candidates of the town election.
 Ths increase in the total number of vsters renews the old agitation for voting machines On account of the hcasy voting and because number of .voters split their tickets. 1t took ovtr three hours to determine the winners in the town election. In site of the lack of voting machines it Is expected that the results of the state and presidential election will be known in . short time as few split tickets are expected. Neverthe- Ness If the voting list continues to be enlarged at the rate 1t increased this year. voting machines will become an absolute necessity.

FOR 20 CENTS A MILE
Capt. Haines Gives Figures After
25,0O0-Mile Ride to As

A single -motored cabin monoplane
can be operated over long distances at a
cost of approximately 20 cents per mile,
including depreciation and maintenance
charges in addition to operating ex-
penses, according to figures compiled
by Capt. G. G.. Haines, chief pilot of
The Fokker Aircraft Corporation Of
America, as the result of 25,00o-mile
trip which he has just completed in a
Fokker Super Universal monoplane.
Capt. Haines few the $4,000 miles
during a seven-week trip In the United
States and Mexico, during which he
carried more than 800 passengers at
various stops en- route. His figures show
an expenditure of less than $25 for
repairs. He used an average of 18 gal
Ions of gasoline per hour at a cruising
speed of ITO miles per hour. He was
not held up during the entire trip be-
cause of repairs or plane trouble. Even
the weather caused but few delays.

@HE stage has been set here
for the most important
conference of world aero
a nautical leaders in the his
tory of aviation. This week the
National Capital will be host to
official delegations from at least
SO nations and to unofficial repre-
Sentatives of at least two others.
All of the principal aviation lead
erS of this country will be present.
Among the visitors will be the
men who are taking the leader
ship in all parts of the world ii
the designing, manufacturing and
operation of aircraft of all kinds
and in the governmental regula-
tion of aeronautical activity.
The first International Civil
AeronauticS Conference, called by
President Coolidge in commemo-
ration of the first airplane flight,
25 years ago, will be unique in
many respects, and it is difficult
at this time to forecast with any
degree of accuracy the probable
results of the gathering. It is eX-
pected that the conference will
leave lasting impress upon the
aeronautical world and that ac-
tion will be taken which may lead
the present haphazard growth of
commercial aviation into orderly
and well defined channels of
progress.
The United States Government
has arranged for the visiting dele
gates one of the most extensive
and elaborate programs ever held
in this country to recognize origi-
nal endeavor in any field of engi-
neering or science. AS the guests
of the Government and the Amer
lean aeronautical industry, the
visiting delegates have been taken
to Chicago to attend the Inter
national AeronauticS Exposition,
which closes there today. Friday
night was set aside at Chicago for
the entertainment of the group at
the show and at an official dinner
given by the city of Chicago.
Visit Home of Wrights.
From Chicago the visitors will
be taken by the Government to |
Dayton. Ohio, home of the Wright |
brothers and the scene of their |
first experiments with gliderS and |
airplaneS. Dayton is celebrating |
the twenty-fi fifth anniversary of |
the Wright brothers epochal |
flight over the sand dunes of the
North Carolina coast on December
l7, 1908.
Members of the conference have
been invited to participate in a
dinner and meeting there tomor-
row night.
At Dayton the visitors will in
kpect one of the largest aviation
experimental stations in the
world. the headquarters of the
material division of the Army Air
Corps, located Just over the hill
from the field where the Wrigtts
made their first experiments with
gliders and airplane models.
Wright Field is the scene of all of
the Arn1y's aviation experimental
test work and building. The unit
comprises Is buildings, the largest
of which is a laboratory building
of approximately 10000 square
feet floor space.
In Dayton there stands the
original factory in which the
.WrightS built their first gliderS
and airpianes, and near Wright
Field are the crumbling ruins of
the barn which served as their
first hangar.
