22 Electoral Votes Are h. cluded In These Two New England Districts, and Both Parties Want Them.

Boston. Oct F R@Cross currents ot the national presidential cam paisn are flowing through Massa- chusetts and Rhode Island without leaving enough drittwood to indicate In whose direction the flood of bal tots in the November election will turn.
 These New England states. with IS and four electoral votes respec- lively, are normally republican. Only ried by democretic presidential candidate.
 But this year both states have been chased as doubtful by inn partial observers The democrats. more confident and better organ ized than in most presidential cam- paigns in this territory. see clear sailing ahead. The republicans their supremacy threatened for the first time in many yearA discern dangers. although the party pilots express belief that it will be Hoover tide on election day.
 However. republican leaders. in- cluding Sen. George H. Moses of New Hampshire. director of the Hoover campaign in the east. and Dr. Hubert Work. national commit- tee chairman. have not hesitated to point to Massachusetts and Rhode Island as bad spots" where the party workers must not relax in their efforts.
 Notwithstanding an overwhelm- ing preponderance of republican vot- srs as indicated by the 1s2+ returns. the democrats have never been 70 hopeful of carrying both Massachu- sets and Rhode Island in a presi- dential election.
 This confidence is based not only sn tho personal popularity of Cover nor Smith and the appeal which democrats here believe the issues he has brought into the campaign will have to voters, but also on the strength of their own senatorial candidates.

 Rhode Island republican leaders apparently have been divided over a senatorial candidate to be chosen at their state convention in October. Sen. Jesse H. Metcalf. chairman of the national senatorial committee. has endorsed former Rep. Ambrose J. Kennedy, while William c. Pel- key. republican state committee chairman, and Frederick 6. Peck, national committeeman. favor Judge Felix Herbert for the nomination.
 Rhode Island is one of the two states which did not ratify the eighteenth amendment, and strong opposition to prohibition exists there as well as in the larger cities of Massachusetts. The rural districts. on the other hand. are strongly dry.
 The effect of the religious ques- ton is problematical. The Massa- chusetts republican state convention went on record as standing today as always for no distinction of race. color or creed as qualifications for holding public office."
 Smiths attitude toward prohibi- ton has caused voters of both par ties here to switch their allegiance. although the extent of these defec- tions cannot be estimated accurate ly. Among them were those of Eu- gene N. Foss. three times governor of Massachusetts and long . demo- cratic leader. who announced that he would vote for Hoover: Rodolphe l.. Agassiz, copper magnate and cap italist. and Gen. Francis Peabody Boston lawyer. both republicans, who have declared for Smith.
 Republicans have called the tarifi the chief issue and are stressing na. tional properity under the republi- can administration. In reply the democrats declare that depression instead of prosperity exists in the New England textile industry.

pretended, verdict of accidental death

ton, and fled, abandoning his car
Police say that the license tag on the

BUILDING HEIGHT
CHANGE DEFEATED
Zoning Commission Rejects
Plea for 2O-Foot Increase
on Hotel Project.

The Zoning Commission today re-
fused a petition for an increase in the
permitted height of buildings at the
corner of Sixth street and Pennsylvania
avenue from 80 to ITO feet. The ap-
plication had been made in order to
permit erection of new hotel on the
site of the present National Hotel.
Maj. Carey Brown, speaking for the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission. yesterday entered strong
protest against granting the petition on
the ground that no change should be
made In the coming of any property
on the north side of the avenue during
the pendency of the Shipstead bill in
Congress to regulate the architecture
on the north side of the avenue. The
Planning Commission, II the bill is sue
cessful will endeavor to restrict the
architecture of buildings on the north
side of the avenue along lines har-
monious with those OF the Federal
buildings to be erected in the Pennsyl-
Vania avenue-Mall triangle.
The two-score residents Of the fash
ionable neighborhood Of 1901 Hobart
street were successful in their protest
against changing this address from res
idential to commercial zoning. A change
of coming at 638 North Carolina ave-
nue. southeast from residential to first
commercial, which met strong opposi-
ton at the zoning hearing yesterday,
also was refused.
The commission granted change in
zoing from first to secod commercial
of the rear of 1920 First street to per-
NIT extension of the loading sheds OF
that address.
The commission approved change
in the height limit at 208 Massachu-
sets avenue northeast from go to 80

tial to commercial use and occupancy.

CAR TRACK PAVING
SURVEY ORDERED
J. w. Dare Assigned to Report
on Condition of Surfacing
Near Lines.

j. w. Dare, construction engineer OF
the highway department. has been as
signed by Assistant Engineer Commits
stoned Herbert G. WhitehurSt to con-
duct a survey upon the condition OF
street paving between and near street
car tracks throughout the District. AS
result of the survey a list OF repairs
needed will be drawn up under three
heads, emergency jobs, important and
minor jobs.
The street car companies will be re-
quired to make paving repairs in the
order named.
Capt Whitehurst said that survey
he hoped would have some bearing on
the street car merger negotiations
When the merger plan was up before
the Public Utilities Commission at the
last session of Congress, WhitehurSt
submitted a written objection to one OF
the features of the plan which would
place the responsibility for the upkeer
of the paving between and near the
tracks on the District Government.
Capt Whitehurst said that damage
to the paving of these places was caused
by the condition of the tracks. When
the companies have to keep the paving
in repair. It is to their interest to keep
the track in first-class condition in
order to save on their repair bills. II
the District were to pay for the paw
ing, 1t would no longer be to their in
terest to keep their track in perfect
| condition, and the paving bill which
would be turned over to the taxpayers
would probably treble in short time
The Public Utilities Commission, how
ever. overrode Whitehurst's objections
at the time. and the merger pact now
before Congress still calls for the Dis
trict to assume the burden Of the paw
| ing repairs.

Colombian Chief Pilot Hopes
to Hop Off on 4,600-
Mile Trip.

NEW YORK, November 22.-Lieut
Benjamin Mendez, American-trained
chief pilot of the Colombia Air Service,
has tentatively set tomorrow as the
starting date for projected 4,600-mile
flight from New York to his native
capital.
Weather permitting, he plans to take
off tomorrow morning from the Rock
away Naval Station for Bogota, Co
lombia, in a Curtiss Falcon seaplane.
Stops are planned en- route at Jack
sonville Fla; Havana, Puerto Barrios,
Guatemala and Colon, Canal Zone.
From Colon he will start on the final
1,25O-mile hop to Bogota.
Lieut.. Mendez known to CurtiSs Field
pilots as Benny, the Gas Boy" came
to this country four years ago to study
aviation. He was given a job at which
he earned his tuition and pilots il
cense and then entered the Curtiss
Aeroplane factory as mechanic. While
there he bought a wartime Jenny"
plane for 5000 and rebuilt 1t.

Benny and his ship we're the sub
ject of many jests among the pilots,
but when he sold the plane for $500
after flying 1t $50 hours they changed
their minds about him as flyer and
a mechanic.
Learning of his feats, the Colombian
government commissioned him a lieu
tenant in the air service and through
diplomatic channels obtained an ap-
pointment for him to the Army Air
Service School He took instruction at
Brook and Kelly Fields and then was
assigned to Mitchell Field. where he has
been preparing for the fight.
A few months ago the Colombian
newspaper Mudo AL Dia started a popu-
lar subscription to buy him a plane.
1t raised $25,000. The plane, built at
the Curtiss plant at Garden City, has
been christened Ricaurte in honor OF
the Colombian patriot.

children. He will be accompanied on
his trip by John Todhunter. me-
