Kentucky Feud Bitter.
Here in the near midwest, Mr.

ditions not altogether to his lik-
ing, or at any rate, not to the
liking of his political generalissi-
mo, Postmaster General James A.
Farley.
In Kentucky, the only State
which has a gubernatorial elec-
ton this fall, he discovered a
Democratic feud that menaces
the chances for the election of
the Democratic slate in Novem.
ber-a feud so bitter that neither
the governor nor the defeated
primary candidate for governor
would come aboard the presi.
Dental train to greet him.
Harmony in Indiana
There was more harmony in
Indiana. Gov. Paul V. McNutt,
Senators Van IIuys and Minton,
the national committeeman, Tom
Taggart, jr., and the State chair
man, Omer Jackson, boarded the
presidential special, and spent
several hours with Mr.. Roosevelt
going over the situation.
Numerous stops were made in
the State, and also in Illinois last
night, where crowds collected at
the stations.
Throughout the night the presi-
Dental special sped across Illinois
and Missouri.

Early today the train left Kan
sas City via Council Bluffs, Iowa,

bia Observatories announced to-
day.
A Treasury Department radio re-
port announced belief contact had
been made with the isolated city
of Santa Clara in which no
casualties were reported. It was
stated, however, the hurricane had
caused major damage further east
in Santa Clara Province. So far,
no direct reports have been re-
ceived from this region.
The Belen announcement stated
the hurricane was of dangerous in
tensity and predicted it would
probably affect the Florida coast
late today or early tomorrow.
Trains to the Rescue
Five refugee trains arrived in
the city of Camaguey from the
south, according to radio advices
received here. The winds were
reported continuing, but not at
a dangerous intensity, indicating
the storm was cutting a wide
Swath to the westward.
It was reported more than
1000 refugees were crowding
Camaguey, many of them being
housed in the railway station.
Telephones at the city of Glen
fuegos went out during the night,
and the region was believed to be
suffering considerable d m 6 e
from wind and water.
Officials of the Cuban Power
Company, plotting the source of
the storm from sources where COM
munication still was possible, ex-
pressed the opinion the hurricane
now probably was heading for the
Florida straits, and said it may
leave Cuba slightly east of Carde-
mas.
Precautions Taken
They said the barometer was
falling in Guinness, 35 miles south
east of Havana, and that there
was a 50-mile-an-hour wind there.
The company was taking all pos
Sible precautions and was ready
to shut power off in Havana
should the wind reach a 60-mile-
an-hour rate.
In Havana the barometer fell
from 1882 to 1859 between 4 a. m.
and 5 a. m. At CardenaS it was
reported at 1880.
Numerous Sailings scheduled
