United Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, Sept 20.-(UP)--Massa- chusetts voters swarmed to the polls in perhaps record numbers to-day after a sizzling primary |campaign waged in part around tho New Deal.
 Not in years has primary battle aroused the interest of that be- tween Charles Henry Cole, who en- tered the World war as private and emerged as a brigadfer-gen- eral, and James Michael Curley, thrice mayor of Boston.
 They seek the democratic. nomin- ation for governor, a post now held by Joseph B. Ely, who in 93O became Massachusetts, first demo- cratic chef executive in 15 years.
 Gov Ely Backs Cole Gov Ely. retiring after two terms is backing Cole, who also carries the edorsement of the democratic pre-primary convention. Curley. astute politician and cratic machine, hopeful that his unswerving loyalty to President Roosevelt will enable him to clear the hurdles of party regularity and capture the nomination. So keen is interest in this con test that record democratic vote is anticipated. Democratic pri- mary votes have averaged 215,0OO In 1882 a total of 255,29O demo- cratic ballots were cast in the pri- mary. To-day, it was estimated, the democratic vote my approach < U.uU U.
 G. o. P. BluebIood in Race The republican gubernatorial contest involves Lieutenant-Gov nor Gaspar G. Bacon, Boston blue. 1 blood, and Frank A., Goodwin, in. surgent republican and former chairman of the Boston finance commission.
 A feature of the Cole-Curley contest was a recent visit by Gov Ely to President Roosevelt at the summer White House at Hyde Park, N. Y. They lunched toe gether, after which Gov Ely in- sisted that their conversation was non-political. MT Roosevelt said nothing.
 This presented an interesting spectacle, with Gov Ely, anti Roosevelt man in 1882, comforting with the president, presumably in an effort to bolster the candidacy of Cole, whose opponent, Curley, likes to be called the original Roosevelt man in Massachusetts.
 Curley Stood Alone
 With all other Bay State demo- cratic leaders supporting Alfred D. Smith in the presidential race of that year, Curley backed Roose- welt vigorously. The Massac chu- setts delegation to the national convention was pledged to Smith, but Curley gained convention seat with the Puerto Rico delega- tion and saw Roosevelt nomin- ated.
 Subsequently Curley was offered the ambassadorship to Poland but rejected it. Nor has he accepted any other plum.
 Ely's support is expected to win for Cole many thousands of votes in the governors home territory of western Massachusetts, but a close battle is anticipated in the eastern cities of Lynn, Lawrence, Lowell, Cambridge, Haverhill, Sa- lem and Somervil1e. Organization democrats, backing Cole, hope to |swing Quincy, Brockton, Fall River, Taunton, New Bedford and Attle- boro.
 Both Pledge Roosevelt
 Both Cole and Curley have pledged support of President Roosevelt and his New Deal poli- cies and program. Cole has as- serted that it is "a fight between the regular party candidate and an individual" while Curley has countered by pointing out that t Cole never has been elected to pub-

 For Defending City
Miss Wood Takes Local EZRA Administrator For Rde"-FaiIs to Explain Out-Of-TOwn Help

Sharp criticism of William M. Harris, EZRA administrator of the local district, for statements in which he condemned the policy of the state unemployment office in placing out of town workers in To- cal positions was contained in a letter received to-day by MT Har- xfs from Helen Wood, assistant labor commissioner at New Haven. es s'The city of Waterbury" Miss Wood said, contributes nothing to the support of the state office"
 t She further criticized MT Harris for expressing his opinions on the situation without first consulting state authorities. Miss Wood said that officials of the state depart sment would make no attempt to advise Mir Harris on the manner in
 which he conducts the Mutual Aid bureau here without first acquaint- ing themselves of the local situa-

sitions in the local office of the state department, several from out of town, while George V. Casey a Waterbury man, was discharged,' MT Harris commented.
 It was rumored today that eff forts were being made by state of ficials to find another position for MT Casey, at one of the branch of fees of the unemployment depart ment.
 Mutual Aid Must Help
 MT Harris said that he was not interested in fighting the battles of any individual" but was only concerned with the situation in that it might provide additional problems for the Mutual Aid, now already overburdened.
 The discharge of local men em- ployed in state work means, he said, that they will have to look to the Mutual Aid or to the local EZRA for means of support.
 The reason for Mir Casey's dis missal was reported to be cur tailment of personnel in all state offices. Three others, according to Miss Wood, were released in other cities at the same time and addi- tional dismissals will be made by the first of October.

diamonds, then shifted to the deuce of clubs. Should you take the fin- esse? If it fails you may lose club, another diamond and two hearts, or six tricks in all.
 MT Click was not long in decid ing. He went in with the queen of clubs. His reasoning was, the finesse had good chance of win ming. because West had bid clubs And if the queen held, insteod of being down three tricks, he could make the contract.
 When the queen. of clubs held, the ace of clubs was immediately played an the nine of diamonds discarded. A small diamond was then played from dummy and East was forced to play the queen. MT Click trumped the trick with the king of spades. This established two good diamonds :n dummy.
 He then took three rounds of spades, winning the third spade in dummy and cashed the jack and eight of diamonds, discarding the deuce and i've of hearts from his hand.
 Mir Click then conceded a heart trick to Vests ace, but his con tract was made.
