C. 0. P. Chairman Says National Committee Re-
 fused Request for Aid


 SEATTLE, Nov. 9.-Br. Hin- ten Jonez, Republican siate Chairman. blamed the defeat of Judge Kenneth Macintosh for United States Senator upon the party's National Committee. Con- ceding the reelection of Senator c. C. Dill, Dr. Jonez said
 We made every effort to get the National speakers here to overcome tho effect Of the ap- pearanee of Senator George w. Norris for Senator Dill. Senator Jesse H, Metealf, of Rhode Island, Chairman of tho Republican Sen atorial Campaign Committee, seemed to think, following his visit here, that Judge Macintosh was safe. We pleaded with the National headquarters for Sen ator w E. Borah. Senator Hiram W. Johnson or Senator Charles L. McNary to offset the effect of Senator Norris, but the Rcpub- lican National headquarters seem ed to discount the idea that Senator Norris would affect the situation, and we got no aid" "

 Christmas Tree Trade

MADAM JUNCTION, N. B., Nov. 9.-Crews are at work in the for ests of New Brunswick selecting approximately 3,000.0Oo Christmas trees, the estimated exportation this year to American homes.

 The Christmas tree industry in New Brunswick reaches the peak of it's activities long before tho holiday. American operators coma to the province, make their con- tracts with farmers and other own CTS of woodland properties, since no trees for export can be cut on crown lands, and put their crewi into the woods.
 Small. shapely trees are care fully selected and marked. Then they are cut and hauled to the railroad station, there to be wired in bundles of Our to six trees and .he butts sawed off. Some 1000 bundles are loaded on flat cars, or gondolas, which are staked and piled high with trees. Heavy wires over the top prevent losses during the long journey.

HOOVER NOW CONFRONTED,
 NEW ISSUES
Many Problems, Aside for
 Executive Nature, to Be Decided

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal. Nov. 9.-Assaying the effects of the tidal wave which swept him into the Presidency, Herbert Hoover. finds the victory has brought him new problems quite apart from those he must should. CT as Chief Executive. These are Of a political nature and as head of his party, decision as to deal ing with which rests with him.
 Foremost among the problems is the future organization in the Southern States, involving exten- siye expansion south of the Ma son and Dixon line.
 Political Revolution
 The President Elect has been fully aware of factors eontribut ing to the political revolution there-a revolution which sur prised him as much as it did the country as a whole. However, the latest returns show that in at least some of the States which threw their electoral votes to him, the Republican trend also extended into the Congressional field with the election of his own party in districts which heretofore have been strongly Democratic.
 Break Sectional Lines
 One of the high hopes MT Hoover entertained during the campaign was that sectional lines might be broken down and corse- quently, his friends look upon it as only natural consequence of the election, and that he could take steps to consolidate, as far as possible, the ground that has been gained in the division brought about in changes and in character or State organizations. and it is interpreted that the work, un lei taken with a limited time permitted during the cam push hluot DS c4-SHutu.
 Just now soon this will be done is for future determina- ton as the President-elect is keeping his mind free from prob lems as far as can be during his period of rest and quiet. This period not only is one of rest but also of readjustment to another role that has come to him in his eventful career which has taken him into many lines of service at home and abroad.
 Is Watched
 Like most men who have bee q elected to the Presidency, ne ,inds it little di,f:cIilt to sub init to constant watch by secret service agents all the time he is away from home and to have his residence constantly under guard.

INDIAN VOTES REDUCE LEADS
 OF DEMOCRATS
Anderson Drops Out of Fourth Place-Three
 Leaders Seem Safe

While returns from Rake and Klukwan, Indian villages, cut into the lead of the three Democratic nominees for the Legislature, their margin was today apparently still large enough 10 insure their elec- ton. The election of A. Il, Zeig- Ter and Allen Shattuck as Repre- sentatives is certain and N. R. Walker for Senator will probably win over Charles Benjamin al- though the final vote will be close.
 Nels Anderson's slender margin that he held yesterday was wiped out by the returns from Rake and Klukwan. P c Mccormick took his place as fourth man for the House. The representation of the First Division in that body is sure to be Mccormack, Shattuck, Winn and Zeigler. Walker has 2,4S5 to 2,270 for Benjamin.
 Tn the Delegate race, Sutherland had increased his lead over Grigs- by tc 369 votes. Rustgard was leading Fruit by 1,419 votes.
 The returns from Rake were Grigsby o, Sutherland 98; Benja- min 97, Walker 4; Anderson 1, Me Cormack 94, Olts 91, Paul 91, Ream 3, Shattuck {, Vim 93, Zeig- Ter 8; Rustgard 9S, Truitt 0.

Paris Dispatch Says Lengthening of Skirts
 Proves Slow Process
By HAZEL REAvIS GA. p. Fashion Editor)

PARIS, Nog. 9.-The gradual ness with which skirts are being heightened, as we'll as some wo- mems flat refusal to lengthen them at all indicates the old days of overnight style revolutions are over.
 The style makers are contenting themselves with easing skirts down inch by inch on daytime clothes. So far. their tactics of dropping evening skirts to any level that happens to suit their idea, has not resulted in length ening of street skirts.
 Skirts are a few inches longer, to be sure, than they were six months ago They now cover the knees entirely at all but one or two of Paris fashionable dress houses. But the fashion creators are repeatedly asked to shorten the street models as they arc duplicated and time after time hear their clients say:
 "The long skirts are all right for the mannequins, but they don't look smart on the street,
 Despite the slcwness of French women's conformity to their dress makers wishes they wear longer skirts, on the whole, than Ameri- can or English women.

6. Q, p. TO HAVE WORKING LEAD,
 NEW CONGRESS
R epublic C ans Will Have Fourteen Majority in
 Senate-50 Tn House

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The Congressional election, almost complete returns show, net Re- publican gains of seven in the Senate and thirty in the House of Representatives This will give President Herbert Hoover work ing majorities in both branches in place of the almost equal party division in the Senate and a ma iority of only 35 in the House.
 The upsets involved only a few Republican leaders in either branch of Congress and little difficulty over the organization of the new Senate and House is anticipated. However, the Senate Republicans will have to find pew leader as Senator Charles Curtis, their pilot in the present Senate, becomes ice-President next March.
 Several names have been heard as successors for the Kansan, in- cluding Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire, Senator James E. Watson of Indiana, Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, Senator Wesley l.. Jones of Wash ington and Water E. Edge of New Jersey. But no choice is ex- peeted for some weeks yet.
 Senator Curtis has not indicat- ed whether or not he will con tinue his Senatorial post during the approaching short session
 Break-Up in Senate
 To break up the closely divided Senate the Republicans held ev- cry one of the thirteen seats and have captured seven Democratic seats. including the seat of Sen ator Cyrus Locher in Ohio hold ing through appointment of Gov. Donahey. Senator M. M. Nicely of West Virginia is still trailing Henry A. Hatfield in West Vir- ginia.
 While Hoover has broken the Democratic Solid South, the Democrats there held tenancious- ly to their Congressional repre- sentation. Only Virginia and North Carolina have wavered in this respect. Kentucky, which went overwhelmingly Republican, replaced six Democrats as House members with six Republicans, and this accounted for the major Republican gains in the House.
 Virginia, for the first time in years, will have three Republi- cans in the House with the fourth still possible, the tenth district being in doubt. North Carolina has elected one Repub- lican to the House with several districts reported close.
 Democrats Win
 Despite the Republican sweep of the Nation, three Democrats in the North have replaced Re-  publicans in the House. This honor is claimed by Louis Lud- low in the Indianapolih district, who defeated Congressman Ralph E. Updyke. Jeremith Cornell, Democrat, in Rhode Island de- feated Congressman Louis Mon ast, Republican, in the third dis trict, and Joe Smith, Democrat. brcke the Republican sweep in West Virginia Congressman James M. Beck, famous Philadel- phia lawyer, is running very close with his Democratic oppon- ent, William L. Rooney in the first district.
