Miami, Fla, Nov. 6 = (UP.) = Northeast storm warnings were rais- ed along the Florida east coast to- day as late-season tropical storm swirled through the Bahama Is- lands.
 At 1 a. m. the storm was centered about 75 or 100 miles south-south- east of Nassau, the Bahaman capi- tai, and was apparently moving to the northwest, the federal hurricane warning system reported. The max imun intensity of the disturbance indicated by ship and island reports early today was 50 miles an hour. Sixty-mile squalls were reported last night.
 The warning system emphasized that the storm was not of hurricane strength-75 miles an hour or great er-but raising of storm warnings was advice to residents of exposed islands and beaches to exercise caution"

 Opposition to the leadership of Republican Town Chairman J. War ren Upson and William J. Pape, local publisher, is the principal req son for the formation of the new party, leaders said.

MOON ECLIPSE IS
 SEEN YESTERDAY

Boston, Nov. 8 U.P.) = Twin rarities of nature-a moon glowing dull red in perfectly visible total eclipse at sundown and bit of mid- summer weather in November-were written into New England records today.
 To the awaited celestial show, which began at dusk yesterday, were added unexpected sights of seven falling meteors and an unusual un- evenness in brightness of the moon during it's hour-long eclipse.
 The eclipse came at the close of a day in which temperatures rose to record highs for the date. A maxi mum of 77 degrees was recorded here, one degree higher than the record set November T, 1924. As other sections of the nation experi- enced reasonably cold weather, vir- tually all New England beaches had some 'bathers, including women and children.
 The sky show was seen under al- most perfect conditions, only a slight haze hampering astronomical ob- servations.
