In five of the Al states from which
ballots have been received, the returns
are as yet so scattered that they are
fairly meaningless. Those five states
are Arkansas, Delaware, Idaho, Mis-
sissippi, and Nevada.
How States Are Voting
In the remaining sc of the al states,
shown in the state by state tabula-
tons, Landon is leading in 80 states
and Roosevelt in 6 states.
AT the end of the second week, in
national state by state tabulation,
Landon was leading / n 26 states to 9
states for Roosevelt. In one state, Neb-
raska, the vote was tied.
This weeks tabulations show Lam
don breaking the tie in Nebraska, to
take the lead there, and also take the
lead in Connecticut, Michigan, and
Montana, for a gain of four states.
The majority in votes for the re-
spective candidates, in some states at
this time, is exceedingly small, as the
state by state tabulations will show.
Also, in some states, the returns are so
scattered and as yet so few in num-
Der that no premise will permit bas-
ing serious predictions as to which
candidate will actually and officially
carry them in the November election.
The seven states from which no re-
turns have yet been received are Ari-
IONA, Georgia, Louisiana, New Mexico,
Rhode Island, South Carolina, ano
Wyoming.

DEATH LAID

From Obscurity to

MONTE CARLO, Nov. 81
(IN.SO.-Sir Basil Zaharoff, the
mystery man" of Europe, reputed
maker of wars, kings and dynas'
ties, died at the Hotel De Paris
here today.
Despite his advanced age OF &c
Sir Basil's death came as a sur
prise.
He arrived in Monte Carlo ten
days ago for his annual visit. He
went out for a drive yesterday and
lunched in a public restaurant.
Secretary Unavailing
To all who saw him, he appeared
in excellent health. He dropped
dead of q heart attack, however,
while his valet was dressing him
shortly after 8 o'clock this morn
ing. :,
Extraordinary efforts were made
to keep news of his death secret,
owing to fears of unfavorable re-
action on the world markets.
Officials of the principality OF
Monaco, where zarahoff was the
principal landowner, were shocked
BY his death. Prince Louis was
expected to order all flags flown
at half-staff.
With zaharoff when he died
was his daughter, the Comtesse
De Bourbon. Funeral plans have
not been announced.
Adventurous Career
Zaharoff's adventurous career
moved swiftly, beginning soon al
ter his birth in the little village
of Mughla, in Asia Minor, Oct.
6, 1849. He was the only son OF
expatriate Greek parents. His
name then was BaSilieos zachar'
las.
Basilieos, his father, and mother
and three sisters were driven into
Russia, with countless other
Greeks in the progrom OF 1870
The family returned to Greece
with a safer name-the Russian
lied zacharoff, later changed to
Zaharoff. Basilieos went to Con-
stantinople to live with relatives,
and there learned the principal
languages of the world. .

Senator Logan introduced a sim.

With indications that President

At the last session, a rival bill
