CALIFORNIA IS | CYNOSURE OF ALL
 EYES TUESDAY
Betting Odds Favor Defeat of Upton Sinclair By
 100000 Majority
BY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY 1 United Press Staff COrrespOndentl

iBY MORRIS DE HAVEN TRACY
 United Press Staff COrrespOndent) San Francisco, Nov. 5 - (UP) With California's amazing gub- ernatorial campaign within 24 hours of its finale, campaign man.
 agers made their usual claims of victory today but the average vot- CT saw two outstanding develop | ments emerging from the rapid political maneuverings of the last | three weeks.
 These were:
 That the national administra-
 ton almost surely had shaken it. self loose from association with the democratic state ticket in Cali fornia and from the democratic party in this state in event the party is to be controlled by the Upton Sinclair element.
 That whatever the outcome Of the election the 'standpat' ele- ments in both republican and dem
 ocratic parties have received a
 sharp lesson and general renova- tion and liberalizing of the two
 parties within the state is almost certin to follow.
 Richard w. Barrett, campaign
 manager for Governor Frank F. Merriam. republican, upon whom the anti-Sinclair element have cen- tered their support, predicted northern California would give
 Merriam from 150,0O0 to 10000
 majority; that Merriam would car
 ry Los Angeles county by between 6O,OOO and SO,000 and would ob-
 tain sufficient additional major ity in other southern California
 counties to elect him by between 325.0O0 and 350,000.
 Sinclair managers maintained
 that the silent voters" would elect
 Sinclair and make the "epic" plan tn epolicy of its state government.
 Betting odds were at even money
 that the republican would win by
 300,0O0.
 A month ago Sinclair had pretty
 much the best of it. But then the
 national democratic organization
 began to listen to anguished croes of California conservatives who
 looked upon Sinclair's policies as
 ruinous.
 One by one administration lead
 CTS turned against him and finally George Creel, the administrative favorite whom Sinclair had defeat ed for the nomination, denounced
 him publicly.
 Today the administration seems clearly to be disassociated from Sinclair's candidacy and from the organization he has set up. The fright the Sinclair candidacy has given the two major parties, it
 seems certain, has led to new and
 more liberal policies already mak- ing their appearance within the party credos. The republicans are favoring some form of "social se- curity" under state sponsorship, probably an old age pension plan which also may be extended to un- employment insurance in some form or another.
 The situation in the democratic party, win or lose, will be even more interesting. With Sinclair at least technically in control of the party machinery, the Roosevelt ad- ministration democrats such as Sen William G. McAdoo, George Creel,
 Justus Wardell, and others become
 the fright wing of the party and
 1t looks as if democracy will have two organizations until one can
 gain enough strength to drive the other from the party councils.

Japanese Accused
 or Aiming Islands
(Continued from Page 1)

, with a population of about 70,000 Britain and Australia hold man dates in the same region, and the United States has rights in Guam and .Yap. The islands formerly were Ger man possessions which were seized during the war.
 The bulk of them were mandated to Japan by the league in 1922 When Japan withdrew from the league last year, the question arose of her right to retain the islands Japan indicated she would not give them up, regarding them as hel rightful share of the spells of war Charges that Japan was enlars- ing the mandated harbors to ac- commodate warships were met with the emphatic assertion that the i'm movements were for the benefit o1 the fishing trade.
 The United States and other na- tions maintain that Japan is mere ly custodian for the league, and that her withdrawal from the league implies relinquishing the is- lands. The United States has never admitted that the league mandate gives the island outright to Japan
 It to denied the vharges, in re | sponse to a request by William Rappord of Switzerland, for an ex | planation of the large sums being | spent son harbors.
 Ito also denied that Christian missionaries were barred from landing in the islands.
 Generally speaking, there is nc necessity for making the trips o1 missionaries difficult he said. United States Quiet :. Washington, Nov 5 -. (UP) = State department officials today side stepped all inquiries regarding the United States position con- corning Japan's status in the Ger man islands mandated to her al close of the World war.
 Numerous authorities, both in the United States and abroad, have contended that Japan by her res ignation as member of the League of Nations, automatically relinquished her right to continue exercise of the mandate.
 The question is regarded here as a highly technical one under League of Nations interpretations
 Acting Secretary of State Will liam Phillips declined to discuss charges brought before the league mandate commission in Geneva today that Japan has fortified some of the islands. Fertilization is specifically prohibited by the mandate, and also by the four power treaty signed at Washing ton in 1922.
 l Japan repeatedly has denied re- ports that she has fortified or in. tends to fortify any of the islands She has declared that such public works, harbor improvements, etc which have been undertaken in the islands, have been in the interest of commercial navigation.
 | Phillips also declined to com. ment on reports that Japan ha6 closed the harbors of two of tho islands to foreign ships. He said ht had not sufficient information tC give official opinions.
 It was recalled here that tho Japanese government in 1892 evad ed a request from the U. S. nav, department to permit a scientific islands to observe solar eclipse the Japanese government offered to place Japanese ship at the dis posal of the scientists and to giv, them every assistance. In view O this offer the request to visit tn, island could not be pressed. Tn, navy finally abandoned plans tt send the expedition.

 FACE LIBEL SUIT
(Continued from Page 1.)

Longs irritation with Ansell was inspired by the investigator activit while looking into the elec- ton by which Senator John Fl. Overton, democrat, Louisiana, Long sponsored candidate for the senate won his seat.
 After being served with the sum- mons in the Ansell suit here, Long asked to have the service set aside claiming congressional immunity The district supreme court refused to do so, judgment that was af- firmed on appeal to the District of Columbia court of appeals.
 The latter body also ruled that Immunity did not extend to Longs distribution of the circular. This finding was challenged by Long $ attorneys on the ground that the question was one for decision on trial of the case and that the ap- pellate court had ruled prema- turely.

He added, however, that nations must be prudenlt as there is trou- ble in that part of the world. He indicated that when maneuvers were occurring there, foreign vis- iltors were not very welcome.
 Questions asked concerned ex- penditures on the harbor construc- tion at Saipan and Pelan, the two largest ports of the islands which are strategically located to give access to Hawaii and the Philip pine Islands. Ito replied that har- . Dor construction was necessary be- cause of high seas whereabouts, whore special preparations had to be made for entry of large ships.
 These explanations did not ap- pear to remove the suspicious of some members of the commission.
 The charges have been made before and stoutly denied by Ja- pan. Suspicion has aroused by the fact that in 1926 Japan spent 94,- 14E yen in harbor Improvements in the islands, but in the next year the sum jumped to 307,S96 yen.
 The islands comprise vast area in the Pacific north of Australia, lying strategically between Hawaii and the Philippines.
 They include the Marshall, Car Oline, Pelew and Mariana groups

 VERY LIABLE TO
 GO DEMOCRATIC
Republicans Admit for the First Time Only Fifty-
 Fifty Chance

Philadelphia, Nov 5-(UP) = Democratic victory at tomorrw's election in this traditionally repub- lican state was decided possible ity today. On the eve of election the republicans, heretofore certain victors in almost any given cleo tion, were considered to have but a 50-50 chance of maintaining a reign unbroken in 40 years.
 If the republicans lose it will be an out-and-out victory for Presi- dent Roosevelt. Democratic candi- dates campaigned on the New Deal issue with the aid of Postmaster General James A. Farley and the national democratic organization Chief loser would be Senator David A. Reed, most outspoken New Deal critic in the last congress. He campaigned against the New Deal his opponent, democrat Joseph k Guffey was staunch New Deal ad- vocate.
 "If you believe President Roose- welt Is on the right road, vote the democratic ticket" was Guffey's final message to the electorate.
 "Vote for the republicans and get square deal," Reed counsele,l the voters. Uphold the Constitu- tion and end the experiments de signed by college professors and so-called experts"
 Reed and Guffey headquarters were unusually conservative in forecasting the outcome. Republi- can headquarters predicted "a roolr bottom m Q inritv Of C00 000r for the entire ticket. Democratic headquarters claimed "a victory by at least 150,00Q."
 It was estimated at least 3,000,- 900 of 4,20O,00O registered would vote tomorrow if the weather is clear.
 Attorney General William A. Schnader, republican, opposes George H. Earle, democrat, in the gubernatorial race.
