ROOSEVELT GUESS
ON VOTING WRONG
Says He Picked 0'Connor to
Beat Fay-Doped Tydings
Victory Within 1000.

President Roosevelt today admitted
he picked the wrong man to win in
New York's Democratic primary con-
test between Representative John J..
O'Connor and the administration
backed winner, James H. Fay.
At the same time Mr.. Roosevelt
sent word to the press through his
press secretary, Stephen Early, that
he could find nothing to crow over in
the Fay victory because he felt per-
sonalities had been subordinated to
issues in the campaign.
The President revealed that he told
White House intimates last night that
although he wished Mr. Fay would
win, he was of the opinion Mr.. O'Con-
nor would come out ahead by 500 or
so votes.
Earlier yesterday the President told
reporters at his press conference that
he had guessed fairly accurately the
outcome Of the Democratic primaries
in Maryland and Georgia He said he
was about 1000 votes OF in his esti-
mate of the size of Senator Tydings'
ma ajority
In reply to question as to whether
he would support Senator Tydings in
the general election, Mr.. Roosevelt
said laughingly that he never par
ticipated in elections between parties.
Reminded Of his observation previously
that he would not oppose a liberal
Republican running against a reac-
tionary Democrat. he said he had been
speaking of principles.

Gratis who opposed parts of the Presi-
dents program.
The showing made by the Republic
ans in Wisconsin give rise to the
belief that If the La Toilette Progress
sives and the Democrats do not stage
an alliance, there is chance of G. o. P.
victory in the Badger State next
November-for the first time in many
years.
All Is Not Peace.
In the first place, all is not beer
and skittles in the La Toilette Progress
sive party Gov Philip La Toilette,
seeking fourth term as chief execu-
tive. was opposed by Glenn Turner, a
Madison Socialist. Gov. La Toilette
won, but Mr.. Turner rolled up 297l2
votes to 118.307 for the Governor in
2,765 precincts out of 1894.
Four candidates were entered in
the Republican gubernatorial primary.
Julius P. He'll apparently has won the
nomination. The four candidates had
total Of 1885, votes in 2,268 pre-
cincts, as compared to ll8,157 for
the Progressive candidates with 10 less
precincts reporting.
In the Democratic gubernatorial pri-
mary Robert K. Henry, who has
sought Democratic-Republican coali-
ton against Gov La Toilette, won the
party nomination over Jerome F. Fox,
the regular Democratic candidate. and
a third contender, Edward G. Ihlen-
feldt. The total vote cast in the
Democratic primary, with 2,765 pre-
cincts reporting. was 1l8,052.
Mr.. Henry was in second place in
the G. o. P. gubernatorial race. Mr..
He'll had 119,195 votes, however, to
66,195 for Mr.. Henry. In the two
primaries Mr.. Henry had total Of
126,578 votes, or about the same num-
ber cast for Gov. La Toilette In the
Progressive primary.
Duffy Renamed.
Senator F. Ryan Duffy, who cam
paigned for denomination as a New
Dealer. had a small vote, 94.653, in
2,508 precincts. He was without op-
position.
There was brisk race for the
Progressive nomination for Senator,

with Herman L. Ekern, regarded Is
Gov. La Follette's choice. running
ahead of Representative Amlie. Ekern
had 69.089 votes to 63.067 for Amlie,
with all but 243 precincts reported.
Six candidates for the Republican
senatorial nomination divided l45.53l
votes-as compared to l03,000 cast in
the Progressive primary.
The victory of Jim" Curley for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination
in Massachusetts, had been predicted
by some of the Democratic leaders in
the State. They saw the Curley op-
position vote split three ways, and did
not believe that Gov. Hurley had sum-
cient strength to win under such con-
ditions. They we're right.
Mr.. Curley wound up with 2l01l5
votes; Gov. Hurley. 167,986; 1t. Gov.
Kelly, l0l. $50: former Representative
Russell, 3l,160.
The Republicans nominated Ieverett
Saltonstall for Governor, giving him
1922, 2,534 votes. His nearest competitor
was William McMasters, with 1894.
House Members Renamed.
The total vote cast in the Demo-
cratic gubernatorial primary was in
excess of that cast in the Republican.
The Democrats polled 5l1,111 votes to
443,86l by the Republicans.
The Republicans, however, defeated
Mr.. Curley in 1896 when he ran for
the Senate against Senator Lodge by
substantial vote. Furthermore, Mr..
Curley last year was defeated for
mayor of Boston. He has many Demo-
cratic enemies. and they may sink him
again In November Indeed, that is
the hope of the Republicans.
All Is Massachusetts, members Of the
House were renominated-10 Republi-
cans and S Democrats. In the ninth
district Representative Flaherty's re-
nomination was equivalent to election,
for no Republican opponent was nomi-
mated to run against him.

Roosevelt's purge when he lost his
fight for denomination by the Demo-
cratic party. although he won the
Republican designation over Allen w.
Dulles.
Endorsed by the President, James
H. Fay, former deputy collector OF

nor, 1882 to 7,799 in New York's gilt
and-grime 18th district. Mr.. O'Con-
nor beat Mr.. Dulles, 1883 to 1869.

tests to lose his party's nomination,
Mr.. O'Connor indicated he might chal-
lenge the Democratic vote on the
grounds Of dishonesty" His deci-
sion was withheld until today.

jority by recount, Mr.. O'Connor will
enter the November election as an
outcast from the party which has
sent him to Congress every two years
since 1928 and made him chairman
Of the House Rules Committee, most
powerful legislative group in Wash
ington.
Though designated by Tammany
Hall, the regular Manhattan Demo-
cratic organization, as its primary can
didate, Mr.. O'Connor would run in

CURLEY ASSURED

Victory for Ex-Governor to
Pit Him Against
Sa|tonstaII.
Ry the Associated Press.


BOSTON, Sept. 2l.-Staging a
comeback after two straight consecu-
tive defeats, colorful former Gov
James M. Curley today held Massa-
chusetts' Democratic gubernatorial
nomination and the right to tangle in
November with socially prominent
Leverett Saltonstall, the Republican
nominee
Mr.. Curley. silver haired and stocky
but campaign orator polished by
four decades OF Bay State politics, ran
up $4,000 majority in the city of
Boston and then sat back to watch
Gov. Charles F. Hurley whittle down
this lead by only about 10000 in late
tabulations in other parts of the State
G. o. P. Sees Victory.
Mr.. Saltonstall, 46-year-old former
speaker of the Massachusetts, House,
scored such landslide that he re-
corded nearly three times as many
votes as his three Republican oppo-
nents combined. G. o. P. leaders
promptly claimed this augered we'll
for party harmony in what promised
to be bitter campaign.
Complete unof1icial returns gave:
Democratic Hurley, l67,9s6;
Curley, 210,1l5; Francis E. Kelly, 1o1,-
$50; Richard NJ Russell, 3l,160.
Republican-Frederick Butler, 27,4l0;
William McMasters, 1894; Leverett
Saltonstall, 322,534; Richard Whit
comb, 45,423.
Promptly, Mr.. Saltonstall issued a
statement saying. Il shall be elected
Governor because I stand for honest
service in every department of govern
ment."
simultaneously, ex-Gov. Curley pro-
claimed in statement his one purpose
was to prevent the election of a re-
dictionary Republican"
Non-co-operation CHARGED,
A defeat for Gov Hurley meant that
he would become the first incumbent
IN modern Massachusetts, political his
tory to be refused denomination. Mr..
Curley, who has termed himself the
original Bay State Roosevelt for PreSi-
dent" man in 1882. contended in the
campaign that Gov. Hurley had not
co-operated with the New Deal.
Mr.. Curley's comeback effort fol-
lowed his defeat by youthful Repub-
lican Henry Cabot Lodge for the United
States Senate in 1896 and a setback
by young Maurice Tobin for Mayor of
Boston a year ago. His last defeat
made his huge Boston majority of yes
terday even more surprising.
The son Of poor Immigrant Irish
parents and product of Boston pub
lie schools, Mr.. Curley has been in the
political wars since he entered the
Boston Common Council in 1900.
Elected to two terms in Congress, he
later served three terms as Mayor of
Boston and later became Governor,

GOV.LAF0[LETTE
IS HANDY WINNER
Three.Party Race for Post
of Governor Is Probable
in Wisconsin,
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MILWAUKEE,, Sept. 21.-A three
cornered race for governor such as
Philip F. La Toilette has won twice
in the last four years appeared certain
today as nearly complete returns
from Wisconsin primaries disclosed
defeat of the coalition movement.
Gov. La Toilette. seeking to become
the States first four-term chief execu-
tive, won the Progressive nomination
easily to qualify for the November
contest.
Julius P. He'll, Milwaukee Indus
trialist, was the Republican choice
and the Coalitionist. Robert K. Henry,
won the Democratic designation. Mr..
Henry ran in both old party primaries.
Mr.. He'll led his opponent by $4,000
with all but 2l8 of the 1894 precincts
reported. In 2.765 precincts, he had a
margin of 1887 over jerome F. Fox,
party organization favorite and New
Dealer on the Democratic ticket.
Although disappointed over losing
the Republican contest, Mr. Henry pre-

the Democratic column, inviting Re-
publicans to support him in this cru

The closest race developed over the

cincts reported. 1t. Gov. Herman l..

sentative Thomas R. Amile, left

lawyer, captured the Republican nomi-

Senator F. Ryan Duffy had no con-
test for the Democratic nomination.
In 2,508 precincts he received 94,653
votes.
The States seven Progressive Rep
resentativeS in Co.gress and two Of
its three Democrats were renominated.
Raymond j. Cannon of Milwaukee ap-
peared to have been defeated.
Showing remarkable form re-
versal, the Republicans led in total
votes for the first time since Gov. La
Follette's Liberals broke away from
them in 1884 and organized the Pro-
gressive party.
Senator Duffy's small vote was one
Of the big surprises. Although he had
no opposition, he campaigned vigorous
ly, espousing the New Deal
Fusion Of La Toilette opposition long
has been talked, but the movement
blossomed only after a special legisla-
tive session last October. It grew from
resentment over administration direct
ed parliamentary tactics.
Mr.. Henry planned, if nominated on
both tickets, to withdraw from the one
on which he received the fewer votes.
The law provides that in such cases
the State Central Committee of the
party from which a withdrawal is
made must select substitute. Mr..
Henry, however, had counted on his
supporters following him to the other
party.
