ABSENTEE VOTING
IS RATHER SLOW
BUT FOUR BALLOTS VOTED
SINCE PERIOD BEGAN:
CLOSES TODAY

Interest in the general election
of next Tuesday, November 8.
seems to be at rather a low mark,
if the number of absentee ballots
cast is to be taken as a criterion.
Preceding former elections
there was. as a rule, lots of ex-
citement at times and a great
deal of speculation as to how the
vote was going and workers
would be standing near the of
flee of the county judge keeping
tabs on the votes cast and i'm
dulging in speculation.
This coming election seems to
be productive of little interest if
the absentee ballots are indica-
tive of the attitude of the voters,
for there has been no change in
the absentee voting since We'd
nesday.
On that day there had been
cast, from last Monday when the
votes were placed in the office
of County Judge Raymond Lord,
just four votes. Three from the
Third Precinct and one from the
Sixth.
As the time for casting alb
sentee ballots closes at 5 o'clock
this afternoon. it is not anti
cipated that any others will be
cast than those now in the box.

CANToN.-Japan is extending
her moves in two directions on
the north and central portions OF
west China. Japanese foreign
minister issued statement that
he would broadcast on a matter
of world wide important Nov. 10.
The question is probably on the
open-door policy in China. Japan
is believed to be ready to an
nounce her running of Asia with
a strong hand to shut the open
door policy in renouncing the
nine-power treaty regarding
China. However, Japan today
announced that she would well
come outside capital in rehabili-
tating China and she may adopt a
compromising attitude.

HENDAYE.-The Loyalists are
still resisting a six-day attack
with bombs and infantry of the
Rebels on the south shore of the
Ebro which would have caved in
nearly any other defending
group. The Rebels have reached
the Ebro in the drive toward Ma
drid in two places. Difficulty of
capturing the section comes from
the fact that the Loyalists are
entrenched in caves with machine
guns in the hills before the
Rebels. The nests are being wip-
ed out gradually, but the Rebels
are paying heavily. lombard
ments of Toledo, Madrid and 9TH

AQUA CHROMATIC
EXHIBITION HAS
NOTED ARTISTS
ART CENTER EXHIBITION IS
SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF PIG
MENTS. MATERIALS AND
TOOLS OF ARTISTS

Among the noted artists par
ticipating in the Aqua Chromatic
Exhibition at the Art Center are
Harry E. Olsen, who won the
VIM. Church Osborne Prize for
Water Color Painting; Clyde
Singer, yet in his twenties, who
won the $500 silver medal at the
Chicago Art Institute; Karl Yens,
noted medaliSt of the West Coast;
Andrew Winter, the sailor painter
and National Acadmician of New
York and consistent prize win
ner. Representatives of all schools
are equally shown, conservative
and modern, abstract and nom
objective.
The appropriateness of the
special title "Aqua-Chromatic" is
due to the use of series of colors
that were carefully selected ac-
cording to the "chromatic scale"
thus limiting the artists choice
of his individual palette. This
group consists of fewer but abb
solutely = permanent and inter-
mixable colors. This exhibition
proved the need for this type of
educational contribution to the
recording of contemporary
methods and techniques" and free
and frank discussion of one an
others styles, schools and
methods.
Traditional Mats
Each of these water colors are
uniform in size, each matted
uniformly in wide mats, 22x29",
on a uniform sheet, 15x22", made
of pure linen paper. This paper
has been made for over one hun
dred years according to strict
specification of the time-honored
Royal Water Color Society of
England, a non-commercial art
organization, who continuously
have one of the artist members
inspect and stamp the name of
the society, as approval of the
perfection of each sheet used.
Together with the watercolors.
this exhibition includes an educa-
tional display of the materials
and tools used by artists" in the
making of paintings. This feature
of the exhibition is valuable to
the general public in that it
demonstrates clearly in an in
teresting manner the technical
problems which beset the artist
who paints for posterity.
To familiarize the public with
the materials which an artist
uses in his work a series of
charts have been prepared, show
ing in great detail an analysis of
the chemical contents of pig
ments. types of fabric used in
painters canvas, the preparation
of grounds for painting on cam
vas, gesso and fresco. and tech
meal breakdown of the IN
gradients used in the principal
techniques, including oil, water
color, tempera and fresco.

TRADE ExPAN
 TN NEW ENGLAND
Botl, Retail, Wholesale Helped By WeatfX;r Ccii'
 ditions in Every Section

New York, Ang. 4-(UP)-~Tetah and wholesale trade in New Eng land again expanded in the rast week under influence of favor ans weather conditions, Dun and BriSo" street, Inc, said today.
 Retailers continued to reduca stocks, putting themselves in 2 position to handle an increased volume of merchandise for fan trade.
 Larger orders were placed mors freely with wholesalers, and the outlook became more favorable. Jobhers, as rule, held normal stocks. Inventories of manufactur' CTS still were somewhat heavy, but in many cases, an increased distris button was correcting this factor.
 Wool Prices Advance
 Prices on the Boston wool market again were advanced, but trading slackened to some extent during the last few days of the week. AZ orders in the goods market were not quite plentiful, manufacturer hestitated to some extent begors placing further orders. Sptnners were not inclined to pay the new high prices for wool tops, and con. sequently top makers purchased raw materials cautiously.
 Prices of all woolen yarns were firm, and Rayon quotations were revised upwards, but cotton gooda prices turned wornewhat eaiser on a slightly decreased demand.
 Electricity Loses
 Production of electricity in New England for the week ended July g was 5.3 per cent below the cor. responding 1897 week, compared with loss of 7.9 per cent in tho preceding week. Freight-car load, ings on the principal New Englanc carriers fc- the week ended July Is were down 1o.4 per cent, the smallest decrease from the ls37 comparative so far this year.
 Shoes Advanced
 Shoe factory operations continues to expand, and prices advanced The leather market also was firm Manufacturers generally were well covered for their needs, and bought cautiously. The hides market was quiet, as packers held out for high CT prices.
 Retail collections were fairly good. although in some sections install- ment payments were tagging. Manu- featuring collections improved slight ly, but wholesale collections con- tinued to lag somewhat, and were little below last years level.

ANOTHER HOT DAY
 IN NEW YORK CITY

New York, Aug. 4-CUP)-Mil- lions of New Workers faced the dis couraging forecast of another heat record today, the eleventh day of high temperatures and excessive humidity.
 Yesterday was the hottest Aug. a ever recorded by the weather bur eau. The midday reading was 92.7 degres, which also exceeded the previous high for this year by 2.7 degrees.
 The weather bureau cautiously said there was just chance--no rash promises-that cooler weather was lingering far off to the north- west and might ride in on a low pressure through by Saturday.
 The heat caused Col. B. B. &c., mervell, WPA administrator, to send home some 5000 administra- tive employees after D. m. yester- day.
 Magistrate Frank Giorgio of Long Island City court didn't see how the weather possibly could &C., count for his suffering and ordered an investigation. He learned that the furnace in the basement was going full blast to heat the boiler and the custodian had neglected to shut off the valve on the pipe to the courtroom.

IN. PRIMARY BATTLE.
Makes Announcement of
 His Candidacy Loner- gan, MCNeil Also Speak

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 4-(uP)- Rep. Herman P. Kopplemann made formal announcement today of his candidacy to replace conservative Democratic U. s. Senator Augustine Lonergan.
 The three-term congressman, a staunch New Deal supporter, de- clared T am confident can win the nomination and election" and appealed to the voters to separate the New Dealers from the double dealers"
 "The responsibility for America's progress today" he said, rests on the New Deal. Not since the Civil war have such serious and impor- tant issues created such a distinct political cleavage. In Connecti- cut the people want the basic prin- ciples of the New Deal irIdelibly and permanently woven into the American fabric of government"
 100 Per Cent New Deal Kopplennann announced his can- didacy on 100 per cent New Deal platform, and asserted "tf1e ma jority of Democrats want candidates upon whom they can depend to give the president their sincere support" Referring to Lonergan's recent address in which he pledged loyalty to the president, Kopplemann de- clared T do not base my candidacy for the senatorial nomination on last-minute protest of devotion. need only to place before you my lifelong record. Today the people of Connecticut cannot be hum bugged by lip service"
 Supporters of the congressman conceded him g fighting chance" to defeat Lonergan, on the latter's record of failure to support several of the Administrations major pro- posals, including the court reform bin.
 Lcnergsn in New Haven
 Simultaneously with the an- nouncement of Kopplemann's can- didacy, Longeran, speaking at New Haven, told a Democratic rally T want to be recorded as liberal Democrat and on the side of pro- gressive legislation. I have not let President Roosevelt down and I will not let him down. I am and have been for and with President Roosevelt. am proud of his ac- complishments and his record"
 One other candidate sought the omination--former National Con- mitteeman Archibald McNeil, Bridgeport, who commented that Kopplemann's announcement "in no way changes my position"
 Congressman Kopplemann," said McNeli ,"has kept faith with his constituents. He has a splendid public record. I have no doubt his candidacy will appeal to many del- egates in the communities where he Is best known"
 A majority of the HOO delegates to the state convention in Septem- Der will be necessary for nomina- tion. Kopplemann supporters en- deavored to have the Hartford del- egation abandon it's customary unit rule and attend the convention un- instructed, despite the avowal of old guard leader Thomas J. Spell lacy his support would 90 to Loner- gan
