The Questing Call
The two wounded fugitives sent a
despairing glance after the vessel as
the crocodile infested water widened
between them and it. As they look
ed, piercing call keened high and
far across the water.
without more ado, the two shrank
back and making Slight detour so
as to enter the underground from the
nearest point, they disappeared into
the deep shadows of the forest just
as the cry shrilled out a second time.
A third time it sounded. Almost
it seemed that it wes upon them so
close it vibrated through the hot air.
They shrank closer together.
"The questing CALL" Ramon whis-

The girl nodded. Her eyes were

Again the drum beat was heard.
This time it was quickened. Menace

Bay State Vote Heavy

Boston. Nov. P-Long lines of men and women passed through voting booths throughout the state today marking the ballots which will decide one of the closest and least practicable campaigns Massachusetts has seen in many years
 The echoes of campaign oratory were still in their ears as the peo- pie who have heard their wishes
 talked about so much for the past
 six weeks decided between William M. Butler, republican. and Marcus
 A. Coolidge, democrat, for the
 United States senate and between
 Governor Frank G. Allen. republi-
 can, and Joseph B. Ely. democrat, for the governorship.
 Prohibition and unem mployment on the democratic side played a major
 part in both these campaigns. Both democratic candidates declared for
 repeal of the prohibition laws and delivered nightly assaults on the republicans for ''inaction" in the
 unemployment crisis. The republi-
 can candidates, both previously ex- pressed drys, avoided mention of
 prohibition, defended the republican record on unemployment and as- sailed the democrats for appealing to forces of unrest" in an effort to make political capital out of human needs.
 Besides the contests for major of fees, the people voted on 16 con- gressional fights. The closest con-
 tests were in the second and ninth districts. In the second district Congressman William J. Granfeld, Springfield. democrat, was opposed by Joshua L. Brooks in a determin- ed republican effort to regain this additionally G. o. P. seat In the ninth district it was the republican incumbent, Charles L. Underhil of Somerville, who was threatened by Joseph J. Borgatti, Somerville dem ocrat. Republicans now hold 12 of the Is congressional seats. Dry Issue Also Up The prohibition question also was presented to the voters in a refer endum asking them whether or not they would repeal the state prohibi- ton enforcement act, voted on the statute boop in 1924 by another referendum.
 An unusual referendum was the question whether or not to forbid the use of steel traps in hunting fur bearing animals. Voters in the
 metropolitan district served by the Boston elevated had to decide whether it should be government owned, continued under public con-
 trol, or returned to private manage
 ment.

Ohio and Indiana, two states which have seen particu- 1arly bitter campaigning, turned in varied reports: the former recorded long lines waiting at the polling places, and the latter only a normal off-year attendance.
 Where local campaign enmities were bitterest, special precautions were taken against disorders and the early hours produced few disorders At Danville, Ky. a negro was fatally shot in an election quarrel. and at Buckner. Mo, two arrests followed the reported kidnapping of an elec- tion official
 New Ashford is First
 New Ashford Mass, which brides itself on voting it's entire population earlier than any other election dis trict in the country, came in with the first returns. Its vote showed the customary overwhelming republican majority, little changed from the total of two years ago, when the democrats carried the state for president and senator but lost the governorship to the republicans.
 Chicago, Detroit and some other lake cities voted in a heavy fog dur ing the morning, in Philadelphia anG southward along a portion of the Atlantic coast it was raining or threatening rain. Kansas, in the middle of the sunshine belt, furnish ed a surprise by turning out vote heavier, in some sections, than that Of 1928.

 Curtis Finishes Swing
 That indefatigable campaigner, Vice President Curtis, finished his round of oratory in his home town of Topeka, Kas., and after voting planned to dash back to Washing ton for the avalanche of returns.
 The postmaster general. Walter F. Brown. who has been in the midst of Ohio politics in his home town of Toledo, also planned an election day return to Washington to watch results.
 Arthur M. Hyde, the secretary of agriculture who recently returned from his Missouri home, said today he would be most concerned about results in his state. But the secre- tary of interior, Ray Lyman Wilbur, of California. said he was most in terested in Ohio. Oklahoma and Delaware.
 Three cabinet members, watching their home states, will take a spe- cial interest in the fate of a woman at the polls. Robert P. Lamont of Chicago, the secretary of con- merce, made his final pre- election statement urging support of Ruth Hanna Mccormick as senator. Sec retary of State Henry L. Stimson, speaking for New York republican candidates, singled out for praise Ruth Baker Pratt, republican nomi- nee for the house from his home district. The secretary of the navy, Charles Francis Adams, looked to- ward the results in his home state, Massachusetts, where the republican representative, Edith Nourse Rog- CTS, is running for reelection.
 Attorney General William D. Mitchell. whose duties have kept him at his own desk every day since the summer vacation and who made no campaign speeches. was the one member of the cabinet whose interest in the returns was purely a general one.

Rhode Island Votes

Providence. R. l., Nov. 4 LP - Claims of victory by both democrats and republicans rang in the ears of voting Rhode Islanders today as the electorate went to the polls to choose a governor, a senator, and three con- gressmen.

Kentucky, under a new law, will not begin to count the ballots until to- morrow morning. circumstance which held possibilities of leaving an important gap in election night tabulations. For this year the blue grass state was one of the most bit terly contested among them all. To gain control of the house-the big prize in every off-year election the democrats must make a net gain of 53. Technically. they have 435 chances in 1880, for the entire membership comes up for election. Actually, however, the field is much narrower. A total of 94 nominees, most of them southern democrats, have no candidates against them. In the four Maine districts, republicans already have been elected; for Maine votes in September, and was the only state casting no ballots to- day. In many other districts the re- suit was foregone conclusion, one way or the other.
 
 two to a state, were on today's list of the actually disputed, but Ken lucky. Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia and Missouri were the states which were feeling the full force of the democratic shock troops.
 Need 10 Gain in Senate
 In the senate, which elects but one-third of it's membership this year, the democrats need a net gain of 10 for a majority. and the whole number of really disputable states numbered only about a dozen. States which today were writing the yer dict on especially aggressive demo- cratic efforts to unseat republican senators included Colorado. Della ware, Illinois, Kentucky, Massa chu- setts, Ohio. Oklahoma. Rhode Is- land and West Virginia. The extent to which prohibition will determine the net result, and what light it will throw on 1892, is hotly disputed by the leaders of vets and drys.
 In many states one or both par ties adopted blanks referring to pro- hibition but indirectly, or not at all. In New York. New Jersey. Wash ington, Wisconsin and Connecticut both party platforms dissented from prohibition. while in nine other states-Illinois, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Dakota. Rhode Island, Penn sylvania and Nermont-the demo- crats declared for a change. The re. publicans of Illinois and the demo- sota proposed a referendum.
 In several of the larger states, in cluding some where party platforms do not raise the issue, the dispute over the dry laws became involved in contests over governor or sena- nominees for the senate in Ohio, has attracted notional attention by his campaign on a repeal platform in the home state of the Anti-Saloon League, against Senator Mccullough, a dry. In Massachusetts. likewise, the u6lllOCTdtlC StlldlOlldl HOlllllSS, Marcus A. Coolidge, is for repeal and the republican nominee, Will liam M. Butler, is against it.
 In Montana, on the contrary, the democratic Senator Walsh, one of the dry leaders of congress. is op- posed by a republican, Albert j.. Galen, who advocates submission of q repeal amendment
 In many contests for the house, too, prohibition has cut through party lines and taken to itself a large share of the political spot light The result, when today's bal lots all have been counted. is calcu- lated to provide the theme for a ong-continuing debate.

Radio to Inform Hoover

Washington, Nov. 4 P-The home radio and telephone will bring election results to President Hoover and a majority of his cab met, though some will be found all through election day and election night on the republican lighting front.
 With number of intimate friends the president expects to re- ceive returns in the White House until his usual retiring hour-10:30 o'clock. For the full story of the ballots-whethcr the 72d congress will be nominated by democratic op- positon-he will wait until next day.
 Two years ago, at Palo Alto, Cal ifornia, he retired early also, but only after assuring himself of his own victory and determing the pro- portions of the landslide that placed in office with him a staunchly re- publican congress. A group Of blackboards set up in the living room of the Hoover home, told the story then as it came hot from the wires of press associations. The three hours difference in time be- tween the Atlantic seaboard and California gave him complete enough results from the populous east soon after sundown.
 Cabinet Interested
 The cabinet members, campaign CTS almost all, each with a special election interest as well as the gen. eral hope for administration major ities, will be among the most eager watchers of results. Like Vice Presi- dent Curtis. virtually all of these leaders of administrative affairs have made forays out into local po- litical fields or have talked over na- tional radio hookups from Washing ton.
 Tonight, those in Washington will keep one ear attuned to the radio announcer's tale. the other to the telephone bringing news from the republican national committee head quarters.
 The most active cabinet member, of course, is James J. Davis, the secretary of labor himself a candi- date. Already in Pittsburgh, conduct ing the finale of his own campaign for the senatorship from Pennsyl- vania, Secretary Davis was to be joined today by Mrs. Davis, who has lost no opportunities to aid her hus- band.
 Pittsburgh drew also Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the treasury, who intended casting his vote at the home precinct in person.
