Heavy Vote Forecast
InMontgomeryCounty

Fusion leaders said, it is the pur.
pose of the FusionistS today to
call in Department of Justice
marshals to ban such practices,
1t was pointed out that Federal
agents have authority in this case
because the voters will mark their
ballots for members Of the ma
tional House and Senate.
Miss Engle Attacked
Miss Lavinia Engle, first woman
ever to run for a place on the
board of County Commissioners,
was the center Of what the Demo
Gratis characterized yesterday as
q whispering campaign"
Some voters reported they had
been approached by FusionistS
who suggested that, although
Miss Engle Is one of the strongest
candidates, a vote for her would
be wasted, since If she were cleo,
ted, the men on the board would
be jealous Of her superiority and
would block every move she at
temped to make.
Democrats asserted Miss Engle
had been given the cooperation
of men during her service in the
legislature, and derided the Flu
Sionist attack against her gen.
orally.
"ManipuIations" Charged
In another blast at the Demo
Gratis last night, Joseph A. Can.
trel, Fusion candidate for the
House of Delegates. during a
radio address, accused unnamed
Democratic county officials Of
questionable financial manipula-
tons.
He contends that two notes for
property in Sligo Park Hills were
accepted by the Board Of County
Commissioners as security for
bank deposits last January, al
though both mortgages were paid
and Cancelled December II, 1888.
Democrats retailiated that the
notes covered a number of lots,
only a few of which were released
when the money for the lots was
paid into the county, and the
mortgages were still valid in Jan
uary because they covered more
than II times the value of the
lots released.
FusiOnists in Denial
FusioniSts Of Montg cry

today charges made in a Demo.
cratic radio address last night to
the effect that Fusion leaders,
planning a new police force if
elected, had placed a tentative
order for new uniforms with
Samuel o. Livingston & Son,
Seventh Street clothiers.
Samuel Livingston, jr., backed
up the Fusionists by denying
knowledge of any such negotia-
ton.

VOTERS SETTLE
HOLT'S FATE

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Nov. 6
UNSO.-The fate Of a 29.year-old
political veteran held the spot
light in West Virginia today as
close to a million voters went to
the polls to elect United States
Senator and also six congressman
and to determine whether the
State shall be wet or dry.
He Is Rush D. Holt, of Weston,
small.town newspaper publisher,
Democrat and died-in-the-wool
New Dealer, who is pitted against
DR.. Henry D. Hatfield, the Repub-
ilcan incumbent, for election as
United States Senator from West
Virginia.
One of the unique features Of
the contest is the fact that Mr..
Holt, who has seen six years serv-
ice in the State legislature and
who has conducted a tornado.like
campaign for election to the
United States Senate, will not
reach the age of 80 until next
June 18-six months shy OF the
constitutional requirement that a
Senator must be at least 80 years
Of age.
Political observers, however, con-
coded Holt the edge over Senator
Hatfield as voting got under way
today.

Probably the most sensational
eleventh hour development was the
statement issued by Sumner Wood,

the Fusion party in Chevy Chase,

1.-THE political maneuverS of q
certain element, which for the
last month, has completely
dominated the Fusion party, Is

Of its citizens and destructive

Split Confirmed
He confirmed recent rumors
that a split in the Fusion lead
erShip had occurred between the
Peter Simpson Bachrach cont1n-
gent and the Jones-Oxley-Aud
group, adding that IAN intense
personal hatred and antagonism'
had developed between these fac
tons. He said:
among other things, I re-
sent Ed Peters designation Of
all up-county residents as a
bunch of dumb farmers'!"
This last statement by Mr..
Wood is expected to have con-
siderable reaction in the up
county sections against the Flu
sionists, and it is in this region
that the Fusion group had
counted on heavy support.

G.N.SO.-Declaring he was VIC

time in his life in announcing
how he was going to vote, A. P
Glannini, head Of the Bank OF
America, said he would support
Gov. Frank F. Merriam at the
polls today. He said:
''Many business men with
substantial investments in Cali
f0rnia have decided that the
election Of the author of the
EPIC plan would demOralize
business, depress the markets

prohibit the entrance Of new
enterprise into this State. 1t

that EPIC would be a hazard

Feudal Warfare
In Cabaret Crime

CINCINNATI, Nov. 6 I.N.S).
A background of feudal warfare in
the Tennessee and Kentucky hills
today was woven into the police
probe of the gunplay in the Cat
and Fiddle Cabaret Sunday when
one man was shot and killed and
six others, including two detec-
tives, were wounded. Victim of
the shooting was Jefferson Mus
grove, 81, and when he died he ap-
parently fulfilled the destiny of
Musgrove men. Musgrove had six
or eight brothers and only two
were alive today. The others had
died violently by the gun in shoot
ings in the Kentucky and Ten
nessee hills, detectives were told.

Last year also, when Elmer
Cope, militant progressive, at
tackled President Tighe and his
coterie of Office holding hench-
men, he was expelled from the
convention.
This year all that was changed.
Cope's progressives took over the
convention from entrance to exit.
When Tighe introduced Senator
"Puddler Jim" Davis as the guest
speaker and the eX-labor secre-
tary began a babble about the
''copartnership of capital, en-
ployer and labor" delegates all
over the hall rose and walked out.
Finally, sweeping aside it's old
leadership, the convention ordered
a showdown fight with the steel
industry over the issue of union
recognition. 1t commanded Tighe
to deliver an ultimatum to en-
ployers, and called on all locals
to prepare for general strike if
the demand was rejected.
Then, not trusting the execu-
ton of this program to the hands
of its own officers, the convention
directed that each union district
be represented on board of
strategy to plan the battle.

like this, probably the pessimistic
prediction of Roosevelt's advisers

various forms of national defense.

I shall not answer it hurriedly,"
he said. Give me week, and
I'll write my answer, and truth

THE written answer, detailed
Il and obviously carefully pre-
pared, was that the air corps
could not defeat an enemy air
force.
The army, not the navy, has
the responsibility for coast de-
Tense, the officer said, and thus
the air corps becomes, in fact,
the first line of land defense.
Its organization, equipment,

The air corps is not in that
position, he said.
He declared the corps is not
organized on a war preparedness
basis, not adequately equipped to
carry out its combat role, that its
training is entirely too elemen-
