BRIDGE CUP WON
|. BY ITS DONOR

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 Q.N.S).
Only the skilled work of an en-
graver remained today to make
Harold S. Vanderbilt the happiest
man in the world.
The millionaire sportsman, who
first brought contract bridge to
the United States, achieved an
ambition of many years standing
last night when, as member of
the team headed by P. Hal Sims,
he won the Vanderbilt Cup, most
coveted trophy in tournament
bridge.
Vanderbilt donated the trophy
many years ago, and although ne
tried every year to win it, success
eluded him until the Sims team
last night put to rout the four
some headed by David Burnstine
in the final lap of the final round
Of the tournament.
The SimS-Vanderbilt combine,
with Willard Karn and Waldemar
Won Zedwitz as team mates,
blasted the Burnstine aggregation
out Of the running by a margin
of 5,S45 points, turning what had
been a close struggle into a final
rout.

MILLS ST|RS Up
. DEMOCRAT IRE

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 GN.SO.
Democratic leaders planned today
q fighting answer to the fiery
arraignment of Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt and the Democratic
party, hurled at a meeting in
Brooklyn last night by Secretary
Of the Treasury ogden L. Mills.
Roosevelt supporters were es-
pecially aroused over Mills charge
that the Democrats could never
effect repeal of prohibition be-
cause the dryS of the South would
remain dominant in the party.
The election of Roosevelt to the
Presidency, Mills asserted, would
be not only a national disaster,
but a world tragedy"
He painted the Democratic
nominee as "a routine governor
and a very expensive one" and
accused him of downright mean
ness which shocked the world"
when Roosevelt, in his Sioux City
speech, asserted that Mr.. Hoover
had at last discovered the fact
that there was such thing as a
farm mortgage"

FIND IS STATES
c. D. P. LIMIT
Of CONTROL
Straw Votes, Newspaper Polls,
Private Reports All Point to
Roosevelt Landslide
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES

NEW YORK, Nov. 3
I.N.S. ).-Only five days away
from the great decision, the
pencil wielders in both Demo
cratic and Republican head
quarters got down today to
the cold business of calculat-
ing electoral tables.
The results were far more re-
assuring to the Democrats than
to the Republicans.
From votes, newspaper polls,
confidential reports from State
leaders and other factors which
enter into the final calculations,
it appeared the Republicans will
be hard put to find the 266 elec-
toral votes necessary to election.
Democratic Data
Democratic leaders refuse to ad-
NIT that the Republicans will
carry more than 13 States next
week, having a total of 130 elec-
toral votes.
The Democratic argument, sub
stantially, is this:
No one seriously questions that
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt will
carry the 10 States that comprise
the Solid South, i.e., Alabama,
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louis
lana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Texas, and Vir-
ginia. These States have 113
electoral votes.
There is scarcely less doubt
that the Democratic candidate
will carry the six so-called "bor.
der States" of Missouri, Okla
homa, Kentucky, Tennessee, West
Virginia and Maryland.
In any event, these six States
have 64 elecoral votes, which
added to the 113 of the Solid
South make a total of 1T. Quite
respectable start toward the 266
necessary for election. In fact, it
leaves the Democrats with only
80 votes to pick up in the 80 re-
naming States.
New York's At alone would ac-
count for more than half this
number. Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan and Illinois would come
within one of it.
States Likely HOOver's
Taking into account the straw
votes, the various polls, private
reports. and political precedents,
the Democratic calculators con-
cede privately the Republicans an
even chance or the edge in the
following States. Notwithstanding
that some of them are in the
Roosevelt column in most polls:
Maine, 5; California, %: Colo
rado, 6; Connecticut, 8; Delaware.
3: Iowa, IL; Kansas, 9; New
Hampshire, 4; New Jersey, IS:
Pennsylvania, SO; Utah, 4; Yer
mont, 3; Wyoming, 3; total, 1870.
But beyond these concessions,
the Democrats will not go, either
publicly or privately. They hope
and believe they are going to
carry California, despite its tradi-
tional Republicianism and the
fact it is Mr.. Hoover'S home
State.
