still the headquarters of the Anti,
Saloon League of America, voted
on whether to swing open the
flood gates to repeal or become
the first state to stand by totter'

It voted at the same time on
repeal of the state prohibition
law, a proposal to reduce the
property tax limitation from Is
to 10 mills, an old age pension
proposal, and one to provide
"home rule" in county government
The vets, through Col. John A
Hughes, head of the Ohio Repeal

slightly lesser margin Of victory

FARLEY AS AID :
To PEACE
Benefits to Both Nations Pre-
dicted As Result of Russian
Recognition

NEW YORK, Nov. 7 1.N.S)
Following is the partial text o.
the statement made by Maxim
Litvinoff. Soviet foreign commits
sar, on his arrival here today tt
discuss recognition with President
Roosevelt:
81 am setting forth today on
the territory of the great Amer
lean republic with a keen sense
of the privilege that is mine in
being the first official repreSen-
tatiVe to bring greetings to the
American people from the peO-
pies of the Soviet union.
BARRIERS ATTACKED
81 realize that 1 am, in a way,
making the first breach in that
artificial barrier which has for
16 years prevented the normal
intercourse between the peoples
Of our two countries. The
anomalous nature Of the situa-
ton during the last 16 years
has now been recognized by both
sides and the first step taken to-
wards clearing it up.
Everybody now realizes that
this situation has done no good
to either side. and the sooner it
becomes a thing of the past the
better for all of us!
81 am looking forward to
the pleasure and honor of
making the acquaintance Of
your President, who has given
yet another proof Of wisdom
and broad views by taking the
initiative in addressing Mr..
Kalinin.
u. S. INTEREST SHOWN
"The great interest in the
Soviet Union felt in the United
States is testified to by the
numerous visits of your leaders
Of American science, technique
and art, and by the innumer-
able books devoted to the
Soviet Union in the United
States. All these things show
that there is already a solid
base for economic, scientific
and cultural cooperation which
should be of advantage to both
of our countries
"The opinions expressed all
over the world on the messages
which passed between our Pres
idcntS have shown the hopes
raised among all the friends Of
peace, and the fears felt by
the adverSaries Of peace. at the
very thought Of the establish
ment Of solid friendly rela-
tons between the peoples Of
the two greatest republics in
the world"

". Y. Election Halls
D. C.. Senate Probes

Today's hectic election in New
York was felt in Washington,
when it resulted in postponing
two Senatorial Investigations. The
meeting Of the committee inves-
tigating ocean and air mail con-
tracts was continued due to the
absence of a number of witnesses
who had returned to New York to
cast their ballots.
The Senate banking investiga-
ton, scheduled to be resumed to-
morrow, was also continued when
Ferdinand Pecora, special coun-
sci, sent word that he would not
be able to be here. Pecora is can
didate for district attorney on the

Negro Shot to Death
In VOTING Booth Row

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 7
G.N.SO.-Bloodshed marked bal
loting here today in the bitterly
contested municipal races, when
an unidentified Negro was shot
to death in a quarrel near a vot-
ing booth. He was party worker.
Liberals predicted that the wet
vote would attain a 4-to-1 major.
ity throughout the State. Two
straw votes gave repeal a 4-to-1
victory with indications that the
wet vote in Louisville would be
much heavier.
Dry leaders. in last minute ap-
peals for heavy vote, forecast a
heavy prohibition vote, however.
The polls in Kentucky will close
at 4 p. m, but election laws de-
lay the ballot tabulation until to-
morrow. The results will not be
known until tomorrow evening.

CZAR|STS HERE
FACING DEATH
# DEPORTED
Fears Reused by Prospects Of
Soviet Recognition; Policy
OF LenienCy Planned
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Official washington today re-
garded as extremely unlikely the
possibility that, if and WHEN
recognition is accorded Soviet
Russia and this country begins
deporting Russians illegally here,
titled members of the CZarist re-
gime might be sent back to
Russia to face firing squads.
Undoubtedly much anguish and
heart-burning among the thou
sands Of Russians who are adj
mittedly illegally in the United
States will result from recogni-
ton of the Soviets.
Problem Being Studied
The Russian problem is being
studied by the Labor Department,
but no definite policy has been
adopted and none will be until
recognition actually is accorded.
Then each case will be treated
on it's merits and where it is
shown that great hardship might
result from deportation, leniency
will be shown.
Peter F. Snyder, authority on
immigration and citizenship laws
and former assistant to Labor
Secretaries Davis, Doak, and Per-
kins, commenting on the Russian
situation, said:
IF diplomatic relations with
Soviet Russia are established,
one result will be cOnsidera-
ton by the Labor Department
of the prOpriety of depOrting
several thousand Russians
against whom deportation war.

Only Three Needed
Pennsylvania, Ohio. Kentucky,
Utah. North Carolina and South
Carolina all vote today, and if
only three Of them go wet, the
Eighteenth Amendment is killed.
Thirty-three States already have
acted, as against the requisite So.
washington will be greatly sur
prised if all six do not roll up
majorities against the amend
ment. Some doubt has been
felt about Utah. but late surveys
have convinced leaders in the
repeal movement that even Utah
Is going along to make it
unanimous.
Oddly enough, the imminence
OF repeal caused little or no ex-
citement in the National Capital,
where prohibitions battles have
been fought spectacularly for
nearly 20 years. It has been Gin
the bag" so long that today's vote
Is rather an anti Climax.
Washington Busy
Washington already is busy
with plans for the period after
repeal. While the problem of
control is largely shifted to the
States themselves after repeal,
the Federal Government still has
duties to perform-the imposition
Of taxes and tariffs, the proven
ton of smuggling. and the protec-
ton Of dry territory against inn
portationS from wet.
A program is being shaped for
presentation to Congress early in
January.
More Interest in N. Y.
In point of fact, there was more
interest manifested in Washington
today in New York'S savage TRAN
gular mayoralty contest than in
the death thrust to prohibition.
The Roosevelt administration
has a large stake in the New York
election, for it has thrown it's sup
port to the candidacy of Joseph v.
Mckee, and unless he wins it
cannot be interpreted as other
than slap as the Administration.
AloOfness Held Fiction
President Roosevelt himself has
carefully refrained from taking
any public part in the contest.
smilingly assuring all inquirers
that he is not taking any part in
any municipal campaign. But his
own political generalissimo, Post
master Farley, who also is Demo
cratic National Chairman and
Democratic State Chairman, is in
the fight for Mckee with both
feet, so that the Administrators
vaunted aloofness is largely fic-
tion.
Both Farley and Mckee have
proclaimed that vote for the lat
ter is vote of confidence in the
Roosevelt administration.

Close Contest Predicted
In Utah Voting

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Nov.
7 IN.S0.-Three-to-one odds in
favor Of repeal went begging to,
day as approximately 175.O00
Utah Citizens went to the polls
to ballot on national and State
prohibition issues.
Repealsts predicted ratifica-
ton Of the Twenty-first Amend
ment and elimination Of the
States bone-dry constitutional
clause by a two-to-one margin.
Dry forces, in a final appeal
from 600 Mormon and Protestant
church pulpits, predicted victory
by a r&rrow margin.

State anti-repeal organizations,
said:

test, but with support of cOun-
try districts we will pool IS to
