COAST GUARD HAUL
 NETS TWO CRAFT One Heavily Laden With Liquor
 -0ther Has No Lights
600 SACKS ON LIBERTY
Fishing Boat Caught Off Montauk Point-Four Men Held-Second Boat, Desiree, Had No Contra band on Board.

New London, Oct. 22 R}-A liquor laden fishing boat and a speedboat charged with violation of the navi- gation laws, today were held in GUS tody of the Coast Guard here. They were captured this morning. The fishing boat is the dragger Liberty, believed by the Coast Guard to be operating out of Sag Harbor, L. l., and the speedboat is the Desiree, with operating base said to be somewhere on Long Island.
 Seized at 3 O'Clock
 The Liberty was seized at 3 o'clock this morning in the Atlantic ocean off the beach on the south side of Montauk Point. She was load ed to the rails, her estimated cargo being 600 sacks of assorted liquor. The Desiree was taken into custody after she halted in response to warning shots fired by the vessels in a picket line at Cerberus shoal in Block Island Sound. Four men, the crew of the Liberty, were held for arraignment. Two men. who manned the Desiree, were not held.
 Patrol boat CG-2S9 in command of Boatswain T. c. Losch, captured the Liberty. No resistance was offer ed. The patrol boat, cruising about in search for liquor runners, sighted the dragger moving steadily in from off shore, evidently intent on sneak ing around Montauk Point close to shore.
 The patrol boat was run alongside the Liberty and the vessel seized. She was brought here in tow of the patrol boat, arriving at o'clock. Names Not Diyulged ! At Coast Guard headquarters it was said that the members of the crew of the Liberty gave no infor- nation as to their activities and their names were not divulged. The craft with her cargo aboard was to be lowed to New York late today for surrender to customs officials. The men were also to be taken to New York to be arraigned.
 The Desiree. said by the Coast Guard to be running without lights. came booming along parallel to a picket line at Cerberus reef before dawn. Warning shots were fired from several service craft as the speed ! boat went by and she halted. A search of the craft revealed no con- traband cargo. but a guard was placed upon her and she was direct ed to this port under her own power to be held on the charge of naviga- | ton law violation.
 Boat Goes to Officials Headquarters announced that the l boat will be delivered to customs officials here for action. No charge was placed against the men, the re- | ported violation being chargeable against the boat. The crew of the craft did not give their names.

POLITICAL LEADERS
 FIND INTEREST LOW General Apathy in Election Con-
 tests Reported After Canvass PROBATE FIGHT KEENEST
Contest Between Judge Mangan and Attorney General filling High Spot Of Campaign-Lonerga gan-Seymour Result Depends on Cities.

Preparing for the drive down the home stretch, leaders of the demo- cratic and republican parties in New Britain are handicapped by a gen. eral lack of interest in the election on November 4 and unless the rank and file shake off the apathy with which they have cloaked themselves it will be difficult for both orgaRi- cations to get out their normal vote, it appeared today after a canvass of the situation, the leaders reported.
 Chief interest in New Britain and Berlin lies in the contest for the pro- bate judgeship between Judge B. w. filling and Judge w. r. Mangan and observers of political matters be- lieve. they say, that the votes each candidate will receive have been lined up for weeks, without regard for developments during the re- maining days to election time. Judge filings campaign is being carried on by republican leaders because of his illness. while Judge Mangan has already appeared at several rallies and will continue to campaign in this manner. The Berlin and kensington vote will have an important bearing on the contest, it is expected, be- cause the proba ability of a close vote in New Britain is strong, according to those conversant with political matters.
 Paonessa Expected to Help
 That the candidacy of ex-Mayor Angelo M. Paonessa for county sher- if will help the democratic ticket in New Britain and Bev~s believed by the democrats and admitted by the , republicans. The former mayor has always had a large personal follow ing including many registered re- publicans and the democrats are banking on this vote to go for the entire ticket.
 The Seymour -Lonergan contest for congressman nal be decided in Bris- tol. Hartford and New Britain, &C., cording to party leaders, because both candidates will probably be strongly supported throughout the district, with certain sections coun- terbalancing others all along the line. Lonergan, three times a mem Der of congress, has always been a favorite with the New Britain cleo torate, but his republican opponent Col. Clarencen w. Seymour, making his first run, will undoubtedly re- ceive a heavy vote here. The repub- licans are counting on a large mar gin in West Hartford.

Cabinet Committee Awaits Ar rival of Woods to Begin UneIl-
 ployment Study for Hoover
DAVIS ADDRESSES EXPERTS
 ON MACHINERY ADVANCES
Efforts to Relieve Economic Strife Gets Under Way New Head Of Committee Ex- pected Today-President Organfz- ed Gathering of Representatives Last August.

Washington, Oct. 2c LPl - While Inc cabinet committee on unem- ployment today awaited the arrival of Arthur Woods, of New York, to take charge of President Hoover's relief organization. group of sta tistical experts gathered at the la DOT department to consider existing government methods of collecting data on unemployment.
 James J. Davis, secretary of la Dor, in an address to the gathering, said confidence in the accuracy of the departments figures on labor and wage matters was justified, but q probable need of extending this type of work now exists. He cited particularly the appearance of man. ual labor by the new machinery pro- cesses.
 Tells of Possible Results
 "Just how far are these technolo- gical changes responsible for our present unemployment? Secretary Davis asked, referring to displace- ment of musicians by talking nov ing picture films, unloading of ships by conveyers, and the construction of new railroads by tracklayer de- vices as examples.
 Gan this question be answered, and if so how are we to anSW CT ?' SC continued. This is the problem upon which we wish your advice. This unemployment survey ought perhaps to be made from a labor point of view. That is to say it should be a study rather than an enumeration
 The study should show why indi- viduals were out of work and whether machine displacement was responsible for an individual situa- ton, he said.
 Hoover Advised Group
 Formation of the statistical group was suggested by President Hoover on August F. Besides Secretary Davis it includes Secretary Lamont, John P. Frey, American Federation of Labor: Arthur o. Wharton, rail- road brotherhoods and allied organi- cations; pr. Leo Wolman. national bureau of economic research; Har- old F. Browne, national industrial conference board: P. w. Litchfield, United States Chamber of Con- merce; W. M. Steuart, director of the census; Ethelbert Stewart, com- missioner of labor statistics; Dr. Jo- seph H. Willits. advisory committee of the census of unemployment. and Noel Sargent. national association of manufacturers.
