 50 Votes at Stake
 Fifty-nine votes in the electoral college are at stake in New Jersey and its neighbor state of New York. and Governor Smith believes his chances are good for bagging all of them. Despite the fact that only once in the last quadrennial cleo tions have they been found in the democratic column. This was in the tri-cornered race of 1912. when Will son carried both states.
 President Coolidge has a plurality of more than 375,o00 four years ago in New Jersey and topped the com- bined Davis-La Toilette vote by ap- proximately 270,000. Smith cam paign managers. however. see diff. ferent picture there this year and long have held that state to be de- batable territory.
 LabOe Appeal
 What the democratic nominee will choose for his text tonight in New ark had not been announced from the Smith camp today.
 It was considered likely. however. that he would devote a good portion of the speech to an appeal to the laboring classes, inasmuch as Her. bert Hoover chose this topic for his Newark address.
 Tentative plans call for the gov ernor's departure from the Hotel Biltmore after dinner for the 2O- mile drive to Newark by way of the Holland tunnel and Jersey City. Mayor Hague of Jersey City. who arranged the monster reception for the nominee at Sea Girt. N.

 The New York executive had not been apprised just what the Jersey City mayor had in store for him in the way of a welcome, but 1t was be- lieved the departure here would be 50 timed as to permit the nominee to participat in torchlight parade before reaching his destination.

"Governor John H. Trumbuli. in 1927, signed a bill giving to the Connecticut Light & Power Co.,. mil- lions of dollars worth of your property, and in 1927. Governor Trumbull was a director of the com- pany that received this gift" At- torney Thomas F. McDonough. democratic candidate for state ssn- ator told employees Of LanderA Frary q Clark at a monday rally today which featured strong denunctation of the republican candidate for re- election as governor.
 T want you to remember that on election day." Mir. McDonough told hts listeners. ''You have heard many things about Governor Trumbull in recent weeks and you're likely to hear more before election day rolls around" the candidate commented. The Trumbull administration. with reference to the water rights bill which gave the Connecticut Light & Power Go. extensive rights in the state was termed shameful"
 Trumbull's Name on Directorate
 MT. McDonough had with him . copy Of an ofilcial report from the office of the secretary of state at Hartford. showing the name of Governor Trumbull as . director of the company. and he amused his audience as he told of the three hour wait he had before the paper could be found in the files. II was told 1t was difficult to find. I was told 1t must have been mislaid. and was told 1t might take hours to find 1t. When said I would wait until 1t was located. they turned off the heat and turned on the ice. but ! stayed and here 1t is," MT. McDonough con- cluded.
 Mayor Paonessa discussed tariff and told of his meeting with Gov ernor Smith last week. He pro- duced the paper signed by the demo- cratic candidate and read his pledge to protect the industries of this city through . protective tarin.

 The mayor again criticised Patrick B. Conway. republican campaigner who predicted bread lines and soup kitchens in tho event Of . ropubltoan victory. Just around the corner is the house in which the mayor of the city in 1907 lived" he said. Tt was during . republican administration and 1t was the only time In my mem ory that thousands of men walked the streets demanding either food or work. They marched. 5000 strong. to the home of the mayor to make their demands. and remember that was under . republican administra- ton. Mr. Conway, the republican party's imported speaker. insults your intelligence when he comes here in 1928 to warn you of bread lines under . democratic adminis- tration. when you know what hap pened under . republican adminis- tration." tho mayor shouted hotly.

SHIP CREW TELLS
 0F MOTIFS FLIGHT
SightM Macdonald 600 Miles
 On Newfoundland Coast
FLYING 700 FEET UP
Plane Appeared at ii ?. m. Plain- ly Visible Due to Flame from Ex- haust-In No Apparent DifRi- culty.

SSS1N$s
 Antwerp, Belgium. Oct. 31 R- The men who caught the last glimpse of the illfated Moth air plane of Commander H. c. MacDon- aid as the tiny aircraft was am- bitiously speeding eastward from Newfoundland on the night of Oc- tober IT. have just paid . visit to this port and told in simple words the story of their brief touch with tho daring airman 90 soon to vanish into mystery.
 They were the officers and crew of the little steamer Hardenbe rs which was on the high seas about 600 miles east of Newfoundland or that night bound from Montreal 10, Antwerp and whose master. Captain Heykoop, sent to the Associated Preas in London the only word ol Commander MacDonaid's move ments after he left Newfoundland.
 Tell Story
 Tho officers and crew when they finally reached here after a slow voyage with . heavy cargo of wheat were surprised to learn that their ship had sent tho last news of Mac Donald. Chief Officer William Fen. enga, who was on watch on the deck at the time that the plane wal seen, thus told the story of the sighting:
 Tt was exactly II p. m. when ] heard the noise of a planes motor It didn't take me long to make out tho planes position in the sky. for the machine was hying at not more than 500 to 700 feet altitude and was distinctly visible. thanks to . red colored trail which the burning petrol in the motor left behind. On the plane itself no light was to be seen.
 Watch Plane Closely
 we watched the plane closely anxious to zee whether the fier waa intending to signal us. It seemed certain he sighted us as the weather was clear without mist. although there was . strong northwesteriy gale. There was no sign from the machine however. It kept steadily purring eastward and there was nc indication that the fier was in any difficulty.
 we kept the plane in sight only about 10 minutes as 1t slid of into the horizon to the east and vanish. ed. Our position at that time wal approximately latitude 53.20 north and longitude 42.25 or about COG miles from Newfoundland.
 We at once sent off . message to the Associated Press reporting the sighting and giving the position When we reached port we were very grieved to learn that no fur ther word had ever been received from the f1ier."
