campaign has been spent in organ
txing the Italian vote OF the state
Of Connecticut. and from my obser-
vations and from the reports my
chairmen have been sending into
my office i predict an almost unani-
nous registry of the Italian vote for
the democratic candidates. Never
before in my recollection have the
Italians Of this state been SO deeply
concerned in an election. ! have
found the 'Pallotti slaughter in New
Haven. when the republican machine
ditched Judge Pallotti to stop him
from stepping into the shadow of
the governors chair. has whipped
the Italians to fury OF resentment.
I am convinced the Italians will
answer that republican machine to-
morrow by voting the straight
democratic ticket.
Il would dislike very much to be-
lieve there are any voters who will
fail to vote tomorrow, regardless of
what candidates they choose, but
do believe 1t Is necessary to impress
upon all that the earlier they vote.
the more they will aid the respec-
tive parties and the election officials.

Confident That Nutmeg
State Will Be Won

New Haven. Nov. S Up - Last
minute party appeals to voters will
wind up the political campaign in
this state tonight, and Connecticut
will go to the polls tomorrow to
elect seven presidential electors, and
state officers. In the record-b break
ing vote which is expected, both the
republicans and the democrats al
ready foresee victory.
Chairman J. Henry Rora back OF
the republican state central COM
mittee is confident that Connecticut
will remain in the republican COL
umn and give its seven electoral
votes to Herbert Hoover Thomas
J. Spellacy, democratic national
committeeman. and Chairman James
J. Walsh of the state democratic
committee are equally confident of
democratic majority. Both Spell
lacy and Walsh believe that Gov.
Smiths trip through the state has
done much to swing sentiment to
the democratic candidate and they
also declare that the democratic
woman's vote, which in the past has
never been strong. will this year
help to put Connecticut in the
democratic column. Other issues
important In this state are the pro-
hibition question and that of the
tariff.
Democratic leaders feel that in
asmuch as Connecticut never rati-
ned the dry amendment Smith will
poll many votes on that score, while
the republicans say that the tariff
stand of the democrats will draw
many voters to the G. o. p. STAN
dard in the state because Of its huge
manufacturing interests. One of the
weekend features Of the campaign
in Connecticut was the warning is
sued to republican town committee
officials by Mr.. Roraback, in which
he advised them to be on the look
out for anti-Smith literature. Today
the democrats issued a counter
warning under the signature Of the
state central committee officers in
which town committee officials were
told to guard against republican
smoke screens and to watch out
that the election was not stolen
from them.

termine Whether He
Killed Miss Bayes

willing to place homicide charge
against Paul G. Lambert, aluminium
ware salesman and former newspa-
perman. on the circumstances al
ready uncovered, the police today
pushed their Search for evidence
which will either definitely link
Lambert with the Staying of Miss
Olgo Bayes, young Ansonia steno-
grapher. or eliminate him.
Today the charred remains of a
whiskbroom found in Lambert's
stove are being examined. The
broom which Is of the type general
ly sold to automobile owners has
several dark red stains on it and
they are being chemically analyzed.
Yesterday the rock with which
Miss Bayes was struck on the head
on the night Of October rs, was
given to Joseph Faurot, New York
city police department fingerprint
expert for examination but he was
unable to get any satisfactory prints
from it nor from any of Miss Bayes'
effects. Several prints however we're
taken from the glass in the doors of
Lambert's car but the police expect
that they will prove to be Lambert's.
Although one of Lambert's attorneys
has announced that he will start
habeas corpus proceedings unless
the police release his client soon,
Lambert has expressed willingness
to remain in custody until the au-
thorities have satisfied themselves
that he Is not the man who COM

1t had been the custom Of the men

was furnished by candle, but of late
gas was installed. 1t was thought
that the last man to enter the room.
Glisciak, reverted to his old habit
and blew out the gas. He was be-
lieved to be the last ono to die be-
cause his body was still warm when
the bodies were discovered.
No heart beats could be detected
in Glisciak's body when the police
pulmotor was applied. Peter Bindaa
worked steadily for q half an hour
trying to bring life back to the body
of his son. When Mrs. Bindas saw
her son she tainted and was carried
from the room.
Tiremen across the street came at
the call of Bindas and opened the
windows, which, throughout the
night had been closed tight. Police

called by the police and relatives OF
the men but all efforts failed to re-
