HOOVER ROLLS UP HISTORY BREAKING RECORD ELEC-
 TORAL VOTES

NEW YORK, Nov, T, R)-(By Byron Price, special Associated Press Staff wrlter) The Repubh- cans were sweeping from coast to coast enveloping the Border States and driving wedge into the solid South and still was piIing up ma j2rities for Hoover today as return told in expending details, the story Ct yesterdays election.
 AS the figures stood this morning with many votes still to be counted, about four -fifths of the States, car- rging near1y the same proportion electoral college votes, had either topplen into the Republican col UInn or were showing substantial evidence of doing so.
 ALL OF HIS calculations of victory were crushed under the vaalanche and Smith conceded the election to his oi- uonent long before the compilation cf the record breaking vote as t neareG completion.
 His own State of New York, the cornerstone of his hopes, turned against him; it had given it's greaA block of 45 electoral votes to Hoo- yer.
 AT LEAST TWO SOUTHERN States, Virginia and Florida, were showing substantial evidence of go- ing Republican the first time since the Civil War, while in Texas and North Carolina as well, the count lowered at the danger line nor was there any evidence in the returns which piled in overnight that the Democratic crusade into the farm country would net Smith a single electoral vote.
 ON THE CONTRARY from the Alleghanies to the Rock ies farm States were reporting hourly increasing maiorities for Hoover and Curtis. Even ln Wis consin, where much dependence had been placed in coalition of Democrats and La Toilette, the he- pubicans swung decisively away from the Democratic collIrn after eivirg Smith the edge on early re- turns.
 Only in Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, outside of the South, did the balance show signs of tilt ing in Smiths favor as the totals mounted throughout the night and even if both of these two New Eng land States were to wind up With Democratic majorities and Smith held only the Southern States in which he established substantial leads; Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississ- ippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.
 HOOVER'S ELECTORAL college vote is 444 out of total of 531. No such high water mark has ever been reached in any previous Presidential election even in 1912 when the Republican strength was split between Taft, Roosevelt and Wilson and had only 435; Harding had 404 and Coolidge 382 four years ago.

BY International News Service
San FRANCISCO, July 30.-The
caging Of animals that do not
flourish under captivity is taboo in
the best geological circles.
This statement was made BY Or.
w. r. Blair, manager Of the New
York geological Society. better
known as the Bronx Zoo. who came
to san francisco to attend the
eighth annual convention Of the
National Conference on State Parks.
The gorilla was cited by DIR.
Blair as typical animal that can
not thrive in captivity.
ss0ur society has taken a decided
stand against the further capture
f1f animals for the Bronx Zoo
where cruelty Is necessary for their
capture and where captivity inn
poses a hardship on Them, DR..
Blair said.
For instance, it Is impossible to
capture flIli-groWl1 gorilla. Tt
would require a regiment to do ii.
SO IL we want to place 81 gorilla In
our Zoo we have to capture a bay
ape. In order to do this 1t Is
necessary to slay both the mother
and the father OF the animal
The highest type of family de-
votion is to be found among the
gorillas, and the mother and father
and others in a tribe WIN put up d
terrific battle before they let one
,cf their little ones be taken.
Then after baby gorilla IS
placed in ZOO, It Is far from
contented due to the separation Of
its kind. We do not feel that 1T
Is right to captivate these animals. e
