 Forty million votes may be cast.
 President Hoover, racing toward his California home, expected to arrive in Palo Alto later today to cast his ballot.
 Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt planned to cast his ballot in the little. yellow frame town hall at Hyde Park, N. Y., at p. m.
 Norman Thomas, socialist candt- date, who was on a campaign tour during the registration period here, will be unable to vote.
 The decision may be known be- fore midnight, although there is some chance of delay because Of the unusually heavy vote expected. This would tend to slow down the counting of ballots, furthermore in some close states, the entire vote may have to be counted before 1t will be clear which candidate has the lead.
 Indications are that returns from Illinois. Ohio and Indiana will pro- vide the first real indication as to who has won.
 within a few more hours the outcome of the most vigorously fought presidential campaign Tn years will be revealed through re- turns clicking in from 123,OO0 elec- tion districts throughout the coun- try. .o.o presidential campaign was emphas- ized last night when party orators, including the two candidates, car ried eleventh hour appeals to the voters in nationwide bursts or ora tory. .., , .s both republican and democratic parties died away only at midnight and only after the president former President Calvin Coolidge, ogden l.. Mills, secretary of the | treasury, Franklin D. Roosevelt. and other leaders had made hnal effort to urge their supporters 10 the polls.
 While election eve in previous years has found most candidates content to rest from their cam paigns and await the next days verdict, this year found MT Hoover addressing the nation from the l1t- tie town of Elko, Nevada, and GOV ernor Roosevelt speaking to the country from Poughkeepsie, N. Y. The president urged the cleo torate to face the facts "through eyes uncolored by political inter- est" and to trust in the leadership of the republican party. The governor, in a someWnat briefer address, pledged that win your help and your patience ana your generous good will, we will ! do what we can to mend the torn fabric of our common life." | Although Roosevelt was a heavy favorite in the betting, and was fa- vored largely in straw polls, the republican management refused to concede the possibility of his elec- tion, passing their reported opium ism on what they termed "a turn of the tide" towards MT Hoover in recent weeks.
