STRUCTURE CHANGE

a problem for naval authorities here

FARLEY IS E[ATED
BY MAINE RETURNS
Reiterates Statement That
He Comedies No States
in November.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 13-Demo-
cratic National Chairman James A.
Farley met the late returns from the
Maine election today with statement
in which he predicted "as Maine goes
so goes the ball game"
1T really seems to me-" he said In
the statement issued at Democratic ma
tional headquarters, that our Repub-
lican friends ought to make the state
ment in regard to the result OF the
Maine election. / certainly am most
anxious to hear their explanation for
the election of a Democratic Governor
and two Democratic Congressman in
rock-ribbed Republican Maine,
Il repeat what I have said before.
The Democrats DO not concede single
State. ! think It must be admitted by
Mr. Hoover's supporters that in this
particular commonwealth the Demo-
cratic prospects were no better, to put
it mildly, than in the least promising
from the point Of view of the So
called doubtful States.
Vote IS Per Cent Up.
According to the latest figures l have
seen our Maine vote has increased SIS
per cent in the State at large over the
1928 figures. In the second congress
sional district our improvement has
been A per cent. And in the third
district 81 per cent.
Il know of no reason why these per-
centages should not obtain throughout
the United States. In many sections
we know from the registration figures
that these percentages will probably be
exceeded.
Assuming that the total vote will
approximate that OF four years ago.
about 35,000,00o. these percentages
would indicate Gov. Roosevelt's election
by nearly 100000 majority.
Maine was no worse hit by the de-
preston than the rest Of the country.
There is no reason Maine should be
more resentful Of the evasive, vaccilat-
ing and dilatory policies of the admin
istration than are the rest Of the States.
The result of yesterdays election is
the natural consequence of the citi-
zens belief that under Gov. Roosevelt
we will have more competent direc-
tion of national affairs than we could
possibly have under Mr. Hoover.
The Democratic campaign was no
more intensive in Maine than it will
be in the other State I think We are
safe in saying that Gov. Roosevelt will
run even stronger in Maine than the
local and congressional tickets have
done.
Believes Maine Valid.
"It has long been a political maxim
invoked by the Republicans every time
they have carried the Pine Tree State
that as Maine goes so goes the ball

The necessity for calling out

day by Brig. Gen. Pelham D.
Glassford, superintendent of po-
lice, who declared he firmly be-
lieved" no situation would have
arisen beyond the control of the

At the same time Gen. Glass
ford demanded of three of his as
sistants-Inspectors E. w. Brown,
L. I. H. Edwards and T. r. Bean
written reports as to any state
ments they may have made to
the District Commissioners con-
cerning the necessity for calling
out troops.
Glassford's reiteration that he
did not ask for the aid of soldiers
came shortly after a bitter con-
troversy between the District
Commissioners and the police
chief had been precipitated by At
torney General Mitchell's arraign-
ment of the bonus army
In an earlier statement Glass
ford had vigorously denied the
Justice Departments assertion
that he had made the initial ap-
peal for military aid. Following
this, Acting Attorney General
Thacher made public a letter
from the Commissioners putting
full responsibility on the police
chief. simultaneously the Com
missioners also stated positively"
that Glassford called for the
soldiers.
Never Out Of Control"
The two outbreaks at the bonus camn
on lower Pennsylvania avenue, Gen.
Glassford declared. in his second state

willing to cooperate with the law en-
