House Control Most
 Important Issue
tcontinued from Page 1.)

Two major figures in the demo- cratic party, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and his one-time sponsor, former Governor Alfred E. Smith, come into collision over a constitu- tional amendment in New York state. It concerns a $20,090,000 H. year reforestration program, back ed by Roosevelt and both political parties.
 Smith has been speaking strong 1y against the amendment. Though Smith denies a break with Roose- welt, who is a leading prospect for the presidential nomination next year, they have joined in a test of strength which may have impor- tant bearing on Roosevelt's future chances.
 Mostly however. the elections are of minor importance and of local solar as they may indicate possible reaction to the Hoover administra- tion and the depression in next years election.
 Congressional seats are being filled to-day in the following dis. tricts:
 Ohio, first-Old district of the 1at0 Nicholas Longworth, doubtful; 20th-probably democratic.
 Michigan-Eight-Doubtful.

TWO FINED FOR POSSESSING VENIS0N
w. H. Harris at
 Second Church Gave Hearers Talk on Un- employment Situation
 in Waterbury

Payment of rent by the week rather than by the month would be better for the average working man, William M. Harris, chairman of the mayors unemployment re- lief committee, stated in a talk de- livered last night at the Second Congregational church. Mr liar riS described his experiences with working men and their families and stressed the importance of a family budget. The trouble with most workingmen today is that they can't follow any plan, he de- clared.
 When the weeks pay comes in 1t is used to buy food. A feast follows and no money is set aside for the rent, the speaker explain ed. If the rents were paid weekly instead of monthly, this condition might be remedied in MT Harris opinion.

New York Election

1NOW AOAA AlhNNttOh New York, Nov. 3.-(UP) New
 York's states election to-day de-
 manded national interest because it
 involved a clash between Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and former Governor Alfred E. Smith and be- cause 1t may mean the end of the investigation of this city's Tam many regime.
 The clash between Roosevelt, considered the foremost candidate for the 1892 democratic nomina- tion for president, and Smith, 1928 standard bearer, was over the for
 mer's reforestation policy. Roosevelt made a final campaign speech over the radio last night. He characterized attacks on his de- forestation as based on ignorance. He said he was willing to rest his case on "the sound judgment of public-spirited citziens."
 The chief effort of the demo- cratic party in the past campaign has been to secure additional seats in the assembly so as to gain con- trol of that body, and vote out of existence the Hofstadter legislative Investigating committee which, un- der the guidance of Samuel Sea- bury, has been presenting testi- money highly embarrassing to a number of Tammany office holders. Several republicans also have had uncomfortable minutes in the wit ness chair under Seabury's ques- tioning.
 Seabury was notified yesterday by Sheriff Thomas M. Farley of the attachment for the committee of a safe-deposit box held jointly by Mayor James J. Walker and Rus- sell T. Sherwood. Farley also levied
 on brokerage accounts of Russell. a Hofstadter witness, who so far has failed to honor a subpoena. The accounts are said to total $15,000. Eleven Mayors in Mass. Boston, Nov. 3.-(UP).-Voters of dozen Massachusetts cities went to the polls to-day, with II mayors to be chosen.
 Boston was the only city without mayoralty contest and here, though the election involved only city council and school committee seats, there was no dearth of ex- citement.
 Mayor James M. Curley of Bos- ton, in his final round of speeches in behalf of city council candidates last night, carried loaded revolver and was escorted by two armed po- lice guards. Police said certain po- litical figures opposed to the ad- ministration had threatened to knock him off,"

rallies while McLevy boomed his demands for Justice for the work ingman," unemployment relief" and honest city finances" provid- ed the socialists of Bridgeport with more money than they ever had for a political campaign before. The biggest vote McLevy ever boiled before was 4,000 but he is expect ed to receive we'll over 10000 to- day.
 The huge city defict uncovered during the present republican city administration at New Haven was expected to guide voters of that city in choosing between Alderman John w. Murphy, democrat, and Lawson W. Hall, republican. The democrats forecast victory by 5000 majority but the republicans also predicted success, "by a substantial major ity."
