WILL BE- CHOSEN
BY new WORKERS

NEW YORK, Nov4.-U.P)-New
York's mayoralty candidates made
their final bid for votes today on
the first anniversary of the fatal
shooting of Arnold Rothstein, gam
bier, whose unsolved death has been
one of the issues of the present cam
paign.
The four major candidates; James
j. Walker. Democrat incumbent; :;
Fiorella H. La Guardia, Republican,
Fusion; Norman Thomas, Socialist
and Richard E. Enright, Square
Deal, will make the customary cleo
tion eve speaking tour tonight of
the strategic voting centers of the
city.
Mayor Walkers recent declara-
tion that his political enemies plann-
ed to perpetrate a "diabolical for
gerry" on election eve had not been
fulfilled today.
Meanwhile. taking advantage of
the anniversary of the Rothstein
shooting, AntiTammany candidates
continued to hurl verbal bombshells
at the administration for failing to
solve the murder. LaGuardia and En-
right both allege that the Walker
regime is hindering the investiga.
tion into the murder because it was
affiliated in some way with the
gambler.
Walker was expected to carry the
city by 4 large majority.

CONNECTS SLUG
AND SHOOT WAY
FROM CUSTODY

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 4. U.P)-
After cutting their way through the
concrete roof of Il new cell block,

ary here early today. One of them,

PROFIT TAKING
CAUSES SLUMP
IN WALL STREET
BY ELMER G. WALLER
Omitted Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 1. (U.P)-Sev-
eral billion dollars were clipped
from market values of stocks today
as quiet market-as compared with
the frcnzied trading of the past 10
days-saw bewil1cling price changes.
The market was variable. 1t
opened well down with great blocks
of stock being tr"dcd. The trading
dropped off and the market gained.
Prices ranged back and forth dur
ing the day until just before the
closing, when the market broke
again and the close was lower.
Leaders were of ] to 10 points
near the close. The reason for the
late reaction was given as profit
taking in advance of the election
day holiday.
For IA time in the afternoon both
buying and selling dried up and the
list was moving in an extremely mar.
row range. This gave heart to the
bull forces and they at once began
to bid up the fryorites. Steel rose
to around 100 and other leaders
made proportionatc gains.
The advance brought out the
profit taking and further selling of
support stock. In the opinion of
traders this unloading process will
require considerable time in view
of the tremendous amounts of stock
that had been taken last week 20
prevent the break from going too
far.
Todays opening was disappointing.
Wall street had expected veritablc
flood of buying with prices soaring
to fancy figures The traders did
not reckon with the professional
clement, and the size Of the orders
pouring III from all parts of the
county. These for the most part
were small and did not come near
equalizing the size of the bankers
blocks.
Brokers hav" not yet caught up
with their books and some of their
force may be drafted tomorrow.

ASSERT KELLEY
NOT GUILTY OF
MELLUS DEATH

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 4.-U.P)-
The district attorneys office an
nounced today that an entirely new
investigation was opened into the
death year ago of Mrs. Myrtle
Mellus, society matron.
The investigation, it was said,
may result in complete freedom of
Leo Kelley, once sentenced to die
for Mrs. Mellus' murder.
Since his original conviction for
first degree murder the state su-
preme court reduced Kelley's de.
gree Of guilt to manslaughter.
The announcement of the new
probe came after Clarke G. Lewis
and George NJ. Lewis, brothers of
Mrs. Mellus, and other close friends
of the dead woman, held a confer
ence with Deputy District Attorney
Wayne f. Jordan.
The two brothers and Mrs. Ruth
Pierce, friend, gave important
statements, Jordan said.
The possibility of perjured testi-
mony at the trial at which Kelley
was convicted was indicated but no
witnesses were named.
Jordan said that if the investi-
CATION contradicts testimony given
at the trial the district attorneys
office will recommend 4 complete
reViewal of the ease by Governor
c. C. Young.
1t was said that the relatives and
friends of Mrs. Mellus came to the
district attorney of their own ac-
cord.
Kelly is scheduled to be sentenced
on the count of manslaughter to-
morrow.

BINGHAM GETS
MILD CENSURE
FROM SENATE
Packed Chamber Listens
To Resolution Condemn
ing Actions.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. (U.P)--
The senate today officially eensured
Senator Hiram Bingham, Republi'
can, Connecticut, for employing
secretly an agent of the Connecticut
Manufacturers Association to as
sist him in connection with the pend
ing tariff bill.
This action was taken when the
senate adopted the censure resolution
Of Senator Norris, Republican, Neb-
raska, by vote of "a to %.
The resolution does not call for
the resignation of Bingham nor for
any other action but is only an ex-
preston of the sense of the senate.
Asked after the vote if he intend
ed to resign, Bingham replied:
~ certainly am not. -
lie declined to comment upon the
action Of the senate.
Tie resolution adopted as the
packed chamber sat in solemn sill
ence, expressed the sentiment Of the
senate that the employment bringing
the agent Charles l.. Eyanson, into
the secret meetings Of the senate
finance committee when it was
writing the tariff bill els contrary
to good moral and senatorial ethics
and tends to bring the senate into
dishonor and disrcpute.' Norris ac-
ccpted a modification stating the
employment was not the result of
corrupt motives on Bingham IS part.
Before the vote Bingham denied
the accusations of the resolution IL
detail and in turn, charged that no
criticism had been directed against
senators who hire members of their
families as clerks of the government.
He pointed by inference to a case
of the employment of wife of a
chief clerk "who herself does moth
ing directly for the government but
indirectly serves the senator and his
constituents by helping keep her
husband well and happy enabling
him to give better service to the sen.
ator and his constituents.

STATE CHAMBER
CONCERNED OVER
PLANE BUILDING

According to Leo Hetzel, presi-
dent of the Ell Centre Chamber of
Commerce, who returned last night
from the statewide meeting of the
California State chamber of COM
merce, held last week in Los An.
geles, the meeting was ;he largest
the organization ever held, and was
marked with harmony and spirit
of cooperation by all parts of Cali
fornia to work for the good of the
state as whole. BY unanimous vote
the old name, California Develop
ment Association, was changed to
California State Chamber of Com
merce, and the committees names
were shortened in keeping with the
new policy. Hetzel states that the
northern parts of the state We're as
well represented as the southern and
that report will soon be published
telling of the work actually accom-
plished by the meeting.
AS a member of the aeronautics
committee, Hetzel states that Cal
ifornia IS threatened with an over
production of airplanes and it is
hoped that the government will soon
increase the use of air mail in this
state, which would dispose of a num-
bcr of planes already constructed.
4 suggestion was also made that
all first class mail could be sent bv
plane and although the committee
took no action on the matter at
this time, individual sections are to
study the situation and at next
meeting submit plans to avoid over
production in California, which has
the greatest number of flying ships
in use of any state in the union.
Each district is also to report on
the matter of coming around air
ports to see if statewide zoninc
code for airports cannot be worked
out. Another problem confronting the
state is the question of enforcing in.
terstate commerce laws governing
unlicensed pilots and ships. This
will be decided at the next meeting
as each section of the state is to
submit plans for handling this law
enforcement, and special committee
will draft laws which seem feasible.
Hetzel states that the outcome of
these studies in connection with air.
planes will be statewide laws on
all aviation matters, which are not
only practical for all sections but
can be enforced successfully.
