Burritt Street Barn Partly Burned With Loss
 of $500

Fire. characterized by Assistant Chief Michael T. Souney as incen- diary in origin, partially destroyed d small barn. valued at between $500 and $70o, in the rear of the home Of Wladyslaw Pcrzan at 633 Bur rjtt street, early this morning, dam age being estimated at about $500.
 The fire was discovered by Louis pcrzan. son of the owner, who saw d bright light from his bedroom win dow and putting on his clothes, ran out of doors, saw the barn burning and went to Box 33S at Burritt street and Osgood avenue. sounding the alarm at 1:2S o'clock.
 The tircmen had a long run. but managed to save the north end Of the barn. The structure had been empty for some time. Perzan bought the property recently and had clean ed out debris from the barn a few weeks ago.
 The barn stands about 30 feet east of the former site Of q three-room cottage owned by a man named Nardoni which was mysteriously burned to the ground about year ago. The police tried to discover the reason for that fire, but could never solve the mystery. The fire this morning was equally mysterious.
 So far as could be learned. the Pcrzan family has no enemies. There was no insurance on the barn and no person was seen near it by any of the neighbors.
 The scene of the fire is almost di- rectly across Burritt street from the Polish Orphan asylum The all-out signal was sounded at l:51 o'clock

 The first arrest of the day was brought about by Mrs. F. Pally Panken, wife of Jacob Panken, so- cialist candidate for congress in the f4th district. Mrs. Panken caused an alleged illegal rcglstrant to be taken into custody at polling place

 Whether it was due to apathy, the chill in the air or just the old excuse Of putting off d task until the last minute, the voting in Connccti- cut in todays election was extreme ly light up till the noon hour
 Town after town reported that the vote then cast was far behind that of two years ago. Incidents were very few and trif1ing. There was not the excitement and the interest which held sway two years ago and the reflex from high tide of enthusi- asm Of the presidential election was noticeable enough to make it the topic of comment in and around polling places.
 C.. o. P. Offices Deserted
 Republican state headquarters was deserted during the morning as the staff, headed by State Chairman Roraback were out to cast their votes. In the democratic state head quarters Chairman P. B. O'Sullivan appeared after doing his duty in his home town of Orange. He found in quiries many as to the turnout of the party vote. His opinion was that in the very flight balloting the democrats were suffering no more than their opponents. He also found inquiries turned 10 any possible news from New York and Massachusetts in which elections there was a keen Connecticut interest, almost greater today than in ConneCtlcut's outcome.
 Congressman John Q. Tilson, ma Iority leader in the national house, not only voted early but he stayed in his polling place in Winchester avenue all day. At noon Mrs. Til- son carried lunch to him.
 The most excitement seemed to be outside the voting places as auto mobiles dashed up with electors. of both sexes and then drove away in quest Of others who desired 10 ride rather than walk.
 Cross Votes at O'Clock
 Dean Wilbur L. Cross cast his vote at 9 o'clock in his home pre- cinct which happened 10 be the same one which Congressman Til son voted The latter followed MT. Cross some minutes later.
 Lieut. Gov. Ernest E. Rogers was out of bed early and at his polling place shortly after o'clock, hay ing the jump on his democratic op- ponent for the governorship all though Dean Cross erencd the score. it being presumed that each voted for himself.
 The interest in the election was not keen in the morning hours. The 1ush of voters was expected to come in the late afternoon, especially in the places which use machines, which are 3S in number.

Democrats Hope to Roll Up Big Lead in Fifth and Sixth Wards to Elect Their Candidates -Mangan Sentiment Strong.
BalIoting in Berlin to Af- feet Contest for Judge of Probate C0urt-PaOnes- sa Forces Reported Working Feyerishly in North End.

Encountering difficulty in their efforts to bring out the vote, leaders of the republican and democratic parties in New Britain expected to be unable to account for more than 70 per cent of the 21,421 voters eligible at today's election. ApproU- mately 150 automobiles raced through the streets, bringing voters to the polls, yet every ward was re- ported falling behind the vote cast in April when the republicans carried the city in the mayoral election by an unprecedented majority.
 Both Sides Confident
 Leaders of both parties expressed confidence that their tickets would be elected. State Central Committee man Richard Covert this afternoon predicted a republican majority of { between 500 and ,000, based on the loss Of the fifth ward by 1000. The democratic party leaders are pinning their hopes on the fifth and sixth wards and their efforts were concen- trated in those districts. They esti- mate a 1,200 majority in the fifth and between HOO and 1,500 in the sixth. They hope to hold the first and third wards, the republican strongholds, down to a combined | ajority Of between 1900 and 1,S00. and the fourth ward to 500. In the | event that the second ward, which was twice carried by Angelo M. Pa l onessa in mayoral contests, does not l give the republicans more than 200. 1 the city will go democratic, they predict.
 Mangan Reported Strong
 A wave of sentiment for Judge William F. Mangan, democratic party nominee. was reported about 1 the city today Even republican party leaders granted that Judge 1 Benjamin W. filling would probably be cut for Judge Mangan, but they were hopeful that Judge Mangan would not carry the rest Of the 1 democratic ticket to victory. It was pointed out that even if Judge Man gan runs ahead of his ticket, the | Berlin vote for Judge filling may be heavy enough to elect him, and at the same time the local republican drift to the democratic ticket will not carry sufficient straight" votes to elect the minority party nominees.
 At o'clock this morning the first ward had cast 390 votes; the sec ond, 214; the third, 435; the fou~th. IT; the fifth 419; the sixth, 414 total Of o,o49, which was 9S4 less than the total vote at that hour in the spring election and 2,So1 less
