Nonpartisan ForecasterS
See 2-to-1 Result at
Polls Today.
By United Press


MONTPELIER, VT, Sept. S.
Conservative non-partisan observers
forecast 2 to 1 wet victory as
Vermont voters expressed themselves
today on repeal of the eighteenth
amendment.
Vermont is the twenty-fifth
state to vote and wet leaders ex-
pected it to be the tWenty-fifth to
repudiate national prohibition.
Thirteen more states vote between
now and Nov. 7. If all are wet, the
vets will have thirty eight states,
or two more than necessary to ratify
the twenty first (repeaD amend
ment.
Vermonts rural population was
expected to show majority for re-
tention of prohibition, but observers
expected this trend to be overcome
by heavy wet majorities in the
cities.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. - Presi-
dent Roosevelt returned to the capt.
tai today for two crucial showdowns
on the administrations drive for
national recovery. First and most
spectacular was with Henry Ford,
who so far has made no move to
bring his vast enterprises under the
blue eagle.
Second, and equally important,
was the failure of leaders of the BIZ
luminous coal industry to settle
their disputes and agree to a re-
covery code.
Administrator Hugh S. johnson,
hurrying back from Chicago, where
he delivered a Labor day address,
was expected to outline the entire
Ford situation, bringing the Presi-

Secretary of State Cordeu Hull
early today ordered a 10,000-ton
cruiser and three deStroyerS to pro-
coed under full steam to Cuba to
protect American lives.
In announcing his action, Hull
emphasized that the United States
was not intervening in Cuba, but
merely sought to protect it's citizens
and interests there.
The secretary asked the navy de-
partment to dispatch the vessels
after he had talked twice with Am
bassador Sumner Welles in Havana,
who considered the revolt threat
ening.
The destroyer MacFarland sailed
from Key West early today. The
destroyer cambridge was ordered
south from Norfolk and the cruiser
Richmond was instructed to sail
north from off the Panama canal.
All three are going to Havana.
The destroyer Studevant, now at
