MRS. HIRSCH FALLS
DOWN STAIRWAY
Found By Son At Foot OF Stairs;
Lived Alone For Years

Mrs. Mary Hirsch, over ninety
years old, was found at the foot of
a back stairway in her home on
West Second street, North Milford,
last Monday night about eleven
o'clock She had fallen from the
top to the bottom and was so jam
med between the steps and the en-
trance that Mr.. and Mrs. Lea Hirsch
could not get her out. DR.. VIM.
Marshall was summoned, who had
her removed to the Marshall Hos
pital, where an examination of her
injuries was made.
Apparently no bones were broken,
and the most serious injuries were
to the head, neck and shoulders,
where strain of the leaders caused
the greatest part of her pain.
Mrs. Hirsch is the mother of Dan
iel Hirsch, president of the First
National Bank of Milford, and of ex-
Representative Lea Hirsch, retired
Gamer residing next door to his
aged mother. For many years Mrs.
Hirsch has lived alone in her resi-
dence, and of late years only has
she kept household help during the
day; remaining alone during the
nights. She has always been robust,
healthy and active, looking after her
home in every detail.

PROMINENT DEMOCRAT
Sees DEL. ELECTROL
VOTES FOR HOOVER
Josiah Marvel Says In Delaware
"We've Got A Job That Seems
Impossible"
MAY GET MARYLAND
Believes That Smith Has Fighting
Chance 10 NeighbOring State.
Must Carry Baltimore To Win.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger
on Monday morning published the
following interesting story:
while Governor Smith sat in the
home of John ]. Raskob, Democratic
National Chairman, at ClaymOnt,
writing the speech with which he
hopes to roll up a big majority in
Baltimore, widely divergent views
of his outlook were expressed by
prominent Democrats.
"Mr. Raskob declared the Phila-
delphia reception to the Governor
could mean nothing but victory,
and that it is easy to appreciate
Democratic enthusiasm for carrying
Philadelphia.
But Josiah Marvel, until a couple
of weeks ago acting Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman for Delaware
and at present Democratic director
of finance for Delaware, took a
quite different stand.
" Philadelphia he said, is merely
a place in which to speak and Penn
sylvania is merely field for reduc-
ing the vote. Anybody who claims
it is political fool. If Smith car
ries Pennsylvania, there is a land
slide for him all over Europe and
Asia, and 1 don't expect a landslide;
1 expect him to be elected by nose,
if at all
"Mr. Marvel said he expected to
confer with the Governor later this
evening and that then he would tell
him he thought it mistake in psy-
chology to restrain the inclinations

long as they last. Those who are
unable to come for the cards will
find them printed on another page OF
the Chronicle. The cards to be dis

MARK BALLOT HOME
SAVE time AT POLLS
May Be Obtained After Today
From Republican And Demo-
cratic Chairman. Don't Use Ink.

Onaccount of so many persons be-
ing compelled to vote in the same
election districts, voters are being
advised to obtain ballots, mark
them at home and then take them to
the polling place and vote. In some
of the rural districts it will be nee
essary to vote more than two people
a minute to dispose Of the entire
list.
Numerous persons have inquired
how the official ballots may be OBJ
tanned.
Ballots may be obtained from any
of the committeeman of either party
in the various districts, or they may
be obtained at the polling places On
election day, taken home and mark
ed and then taken to the polling
place and voted. This last named
plan would not save much time,
however.
Voters are cautioned IN securing
ballots to secure the proper ballot
for their district as ballots vary in
the different districts. They are
also warned not to mark the ballot
with ink because it will be thrown
out by the election officers.
The law expressly provides that
ballots should be marked with a
black lead pencil and any other
marking is illegal. Ink was prohibit
ed because a ballot folded was like
ly to blur and place two marks on
ballot instead of one. 1t is there
fore advised that voters get the
proper ballot and be sure and mark
it with a black lead pencil.

DENY RUMOR THAT SEN.
DU POINT WILL RESIGN
Frank V. DUPONT Says He Would Not
Accept Appointment

Frank V. DUPONT, president of the
Equitable Trust Company, of Will
mington, has denied rumor that
has been in circulation recently to
the effect that his father, United
States Senator T. Coleman DUPONT,
intends to resign from the Senate
and that he, Drank V. duPOnt), is
slated for appointment to the vacan-
cy thus created. Mr.. DUPONT said
that, if his father should resign now
or at any time during the remainder
of his term, he would under no cir
cumstances accept the appointment
for the remainder of his fathers
term or any part Of it.
Mr.. dupont also said that he had
received no intimation from his IA
ther that he had any intention Of re-
signing.
He stated that his father's condi-
tion has so improved that he has
been spending a part of his time
now at the Waldorf Hotel in New
York City and is expecting soon to
come to Wilmington.
The rumor started when a speaker
at a Democratic mass meeting as
serted that such method OF pro.
cedure would follow the election OF
a Republican governor.

CHAS. WARNER Sees
BIG HOOVER VICTORY
AT POLLS TUESDAY
Says That Trend Of Literary Di-
gest Poll Indicates Republican
Landslide.
GAIN in "SOLID SOUTH"
While Too Much To Expect, Vir-
ginia May Give A Hoover Ma
jOrity Analysis Shows.

Charles Warner former chairman
of the Republican State Committee
sees in the Literary Digest poll in
dicatiOns of a Landslide for Hoover
When asked to analyze and give his
views on the Digest's straw ballot
and other indicators of the cam
paign trend, Mr.. Warner said:
while there should be no let-up
on the part of all active workers
interested in the election of Mr..
Hoover, until after the votes are all
in the ballot boxes, it is becoming
increasingly evident that Hoover
sentiment will produce another land
slide throughout the nation approx
mating in volume the large plural
ity rolled up by Coolidge four years
ago. The Literary Digest poll is of
course the most important Indicator
of all similar efforts under way in
the United States. Certain Demo-
cratic authorities are trying to min
imize the accuracy of this poll as an
index of sentiment, but with this
straw ballot now covering approx
mately 2,700,000 voters from repre-
sentative districts throughout the
United States and showing the SEN
timent of these voters within two
weeks Of election day, we can place
reasonable reliance on the trends
indicated by these preliminary re-
turns.
"Such Smith strOnghOlds as the
cities of New York and Chicago, are
allowed representation in the vote
in the Literary Digest of this week
in a greater proportion than the
populations of these cities bear to
their respective states of New York
and Illinois. For instance, New York
City's population in the last census
was about 81 per cent of the total
population of the State of New York.
This weeks Literary Digest poll
gives 81 per cent for New York City
out of the total of New York State.
Since New York City is more strong
ly Smith than Hoover, and rural
New York is counted on to offset the
balance, it is apparent that the Lit
erary Digest poll tor New York
state as a WuOlS lS uulctlllJ 4A-iuS1AN
ed to Smith by the difference be-
tween 81 per cent and So per cent.
"The same analysis is true in the
relationship of the Chicago vote to
the State of Illinois, since Chicago
is polling a bigger portion of the
straw ballot than the actual popu-
lation ratios between the city and
the State.
therefore the following trends as
noted throughout the nation during
the past two weeks when the big
city votes have been included inlthe
Digest poll are highly significant!
For the past three weeks the poll
has shown a gradual increase in the

LARGE CROWD HEARS
SUNDAY FLAY smith
Plaza Theatre Unable To Accom-
modate All Who Desired To
Hear Billy Sunday.

The New Plaza Theatre was filled
to overlooking last Friday morning
when Billy Sunday appeared in Mil
ford for his first visit, delivering a
scathing rapid fire speech, in
which he denounced the stand that
Governor Al Smith, John G. Raskob
and Tammany have taken on the
liquor question. Every seat in the
theatre was taken and many people
standing, the stage being filled with
ministers and members of the w. c..
T. U. There was much applause
and smiling in agreement with ev-
erything the evangelist said and
when, at the end of his talk, ne ask
ed those to stand who would support
Hoover, nearly everyone stood up.
Rev. ]. Franklin Bryan presided at
the meeting which opened with the
singing of America" The Rev.
Leonard White of Delmar then led in
prayer and Rev. Frank Herson intro
duced Sunday.
Beginning his address with the re-
mark that he was not against the
Democrats as a party, Mr.. Sunday
plunged right into fiery discourse
aimed against the liquor traffic and
its supporters, upbraiding Governor
Al Smith in scathing words, which
lasted for over an hour and a half
The address ended with a sensa-
tional climax. Calling a number of
boys to the stage, he referred to the
industries in which the finished pro-
duct is so superior to the raw ma
terial, citing, as an instance, paper
and flour, and then, speaking of the
gin-mill, he pointed to the boys,
saying they were the raw material,
while drunkards, criminals and
wrecked homes were the finished
product.
Immediately following this address
the evangelist left for Norfolk, Va,
where he was scheduled to talk in
the evening.
