Investigation Reveales Moro
Castle Tragedy Caused By
Spontaneous Combustion.
BY MACK JOHNSON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov 6. UP -
Spontaneous combustion-not Com
munist bombs, arson plots or
lightning-probably caused the
Moro Castle tragedy, Dickerson N.
Hoover, assistant director of the u.
S. bureau of steamboat inspection,
will say in his report this week.
The United Press learned today
that Hoover has submitted his lit
page formal report on his findings
of the disaster to Daniel c. Roper,
secretary Of commerce.
A copy of the report was rushed
by a special agent to United States
Attorney Martin Conboy of New
York for study in connection With
possible criminal proceedings.
The criminal division of the de-
partment of justice here is work
ing with Conboy in analyzing the
report and the result Of Conboys
own inquiries into the tragedy,
which took 124 lives. They are
seeking to determine whether there
are grounds for criminal proceed
ings for alleged negligence.
The findings, it was learned, will
advance the theories that the fire
started from spontaneous combus-
ton either in the hold. where hides
and other commodities were stored
or in the famous library locker,
where testimony at hearings In
New York developed inflammable
fluid and rags were kept.
This disclosure is aimed to end
reports of spite" plots against the
Ward line and comes while acting
Captain william F. Warns and
four of his Subordinates are facing
trial on charges Of negligence be-
fore bureau inspectors in New York

CANDIDATES IN
FINAL APPEAL
FOR SUPPORT
Merriam, Sinclair And Haight
Express Confidence Of Sue
cess AT Polls.

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 6. U.P)-
California IS three gubernatorial
candidates retired to the seclusion
OF their homes today to await pas
sage of judgment by the state IS
electorate.
Gov Frank r. Merriam, Upton
Sinclair and Raymond L. Haight
all issued optimistic statements
before retiring to their respective
homes in Long Beach, Pasadena
and Los Angeles. After casting
their votes they returned to await
returns.
"It is with the utmost conf
dence that we. face the election, -
Merriam said. "I feel that the
people of California are aroused to
the danger of allowing their gov
ernment to be turned over to the
impractical and visionary VIII o
would experiment.
1t was the Republican nominee IS
parting shot at Sinclair, his DEM
ocratic arch-rival.
Sinclair was more temperate, but
as sanguine in his forecast.
II have been advised by the
Democratic central committee and
EPIC that we will win by at
least 100000 votes,' he said. II
is the peoples IS choice.''
No less hopeful was Haight, Com
monwealth- Progressive candidate
despite predictions he would run q
poor third in the returns.
While Merriam confined his re-
marks on election eve to informal
speeches, Haight and Sinclair closed
their campaigns with radio speech
es, embodying a last appeal for
votes
Sinclair referred to the election
as "a test of your fitness for cit
izenship.'
1T is a test he said, "of
whether you can be fooled OF
whether you will understand this
plan, and vote in your own inter-
eSt.'
He praised his EPIC plan as a
program that would rescue demo-
cracy from a decayirg industrial
system.
Haight called on voters to turn
neither to the right nor left when
they cast their ballots.
He described Sinclair as a can
didate who had been swept TO pop
ularity on tide of social unrest
and predicted that las long as
these deplorable conditions are
permitted to continue, the Sinclair
movement is bound to gair
strength. -
