New York, Nov. 1 (U.P0 - The utter rout of Tammany Hall in tomorrow's election was predicted today after the wind-up of one Of New York City's most bitterly fought municipal campaigns.
 Supporters of Mayor F. H. La- Guardia estimated that his plur- ality over Jeremiah T. Mahoney, his Tammany-N Deal Democratic op- ponent, would range from 100000 to 75O, 900, and that his running mates on the Republican, American Labor Party Fusion ticket would be car- ried along to a clean-sweep victory over the machine that dominated city politics until the Fusion tri- umph four years ago.
 A sweep for the La Guardia ticket would enable the mayor to regain control of the board of estimate, which regulates finances and pat ronage as the upper house of the city legislature, and which has been Tammany dominated for years The mayor has promised that, given control of the board, he will elim- mate hundreds of useless" jobs now held by Tammany "boys', thus des- troying Tammany's last hold or the city,s government.

Lawes of Sing Sing prison, were suffered accidentally. Mrs. Lawes was found Saturday night near the east entrance of the Bear Mountain bridge. Her right leg had been broken, and she had suffered from shock and exposure, She died four hours later in Ossin- ing hospital. Dr. Squire found one of Mrs. Lawes' high-heeled shoes caught between two boards on a boardwalk near the bridge road. He concluded that she had ripped, broken her leg and dragged herself to the spot where she was discOv- cred hours later by a search party organized by the warden.
 The 2,625 Sing Sing inmates mourned her death. They called her "our foster mother, and for 17 years she had been known for her charity and kindness to prisoners and their dependents.

be conducted by the Rev. John F. McCaffrey, chaplain, and will be at tended by all inmates. Mrs. Lawes had been i'll recently. and the Sing Sing News, published and edited by convicts, expressed the inmates feel- ings toward her in the following edi- torial last Friday:
 "Word has been received that Mrs. Lawes, our foster mother, is i'll. This news is most distressing to us all. Mere humble words, assembled in cold printers type and impressed upon this scrap Of paper with 8 daub of greasy printers ink, are iri- adequate. We try to express our feeling for our foster mother.
 Many of Us here have never known the true meaning of the phrase mothers love. To us so lla- fortunate, whatever else our stay in Sing Sing hes meant, whether good or bad, ili our inneruiost thoughts we revere and in our crude and clumsy way hold our foster mother in the place, hallowed from the in- ception of man, on this mundane sphere, for our mother.
 Space does not permit Us to extol the many things that endeared Mrs. .Lawes to us. She surpasses the meaning of ali adjccEives which Ve know and which we would try to tell of her bounty and regard for her boys 4

MAYOR HAYES. ALMOST READY TO REORGAN|zE Some of Changes He Has Planned Are Liable to
 Cause Sensation VETERANS, HEADS OF
 FAMILIES FAVORED Age Will Not Be Held Against City Employees
 Who Are Efficient

Mayor Frank Hayes has al- ready partially drafted his plan for reorganization of the city government and will announce it in detail within a short time, he informed The Democrat today. It was in- dicated that some of the changes to be advocated by the mayor will be sensational in their nature.
 War veterans and heads of families will be given preference for city employment when the mayors "stIeamlining" process is completed. When city jobs are available, if the candidates applying have equal qualifications, the posts will go to men who served during the war or who have dependents. This will be one of the basic theorise of emplyo- ment by the city after the reorgan- tzation is effected.
 Age Is No Menace
 Age alone, Mayor Hayes made clear today, will not he held against any city employe. If the employe, whatever his age, can do his work efficiently and if his job is neces- sary for good government, he will be retained. The mayor has con- sistently in the past advocated the employment of older men, if they were qualified. and he will continue

ITALY MAY JOIN
 NAZI-JAPANESE

Paris, Nov. l.-(UP)-Premier Mussolini's decision to keep his ace diplomat away from the Brussels nine-power conference was believed by French diplomats to be an indi- cation that Italy soon would an- nounce her adhesion to the Germar1- Japanese anti-C Communist treaty. :. The decision h.; to send Foreign Minister Galeazzo Ciano to Brussels took much of Frances interest away from the conference where she had hoped to discuss important European questions with him.
 French diplomatic circles heard that Mussolini agreed to join the German-Japanese anti-Communist treaty during the recent visit of Jaochim Won Ribbentrop, German ambassador to Great Britain, to Italy, but that he wanted the ap- proval of the Fascist grand council.
