looking down our gullet, and un-

posed to count us, has rlled up
Mr.. Tobey.
His forefathers lodged toma-

him now, there on the Potomac,
don't curdlc his blood. Cal Coo

ferred with Maj Gen. Arthur F..

Near East command. Turkey has a
mutual defense treaty with Britain.

Soviet policy in the face of a dark

Roosevelt Leavinq
Today for Final Drive
In Three Key States
Speeches Are Scheduled
In New York, Ohio
And Pennsylvania
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

PRESIDENT Roosevelt prepared 10
leave Washington today for a final
campaign drive into rich political
territory-New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio.
Worth 109 electoral votes, nearly
one-flfth of the national total, these
States will be the real battle-ground
on which this history making 1910
election is to be decided. Conse-
quently, the big guns of both
parties will be trained on this area
in the closing days.
Mr.. Roosevelt announced a change
in his week end plans today, to bring
him back to Washington on Sunday.
Originally planning to 60 directly
from Cleveland to Hyde Park, N. Y.
he told his press conference this
morning that he would return here
on Sunday and leave for Hyde Park
either that night or Monday.
Asked the reason for this revision,
he said there was nothing special,
except that information was coming
in constantly from the crisis centers
of the world and that he believed it
wise to come back here for a brief
period.
May Discuss Kennedy Incident.
Advised that Wendell Willkie, Re
publican presidential nominee, has
been criticizing Mr.. Roosevelt'S ref
erence to Joseph P. Kennedy as
my Ambassador to Great Britain, u
the President said he didn't think
purely political issues should be
taken up at his press conference
He suggested that check be made
with the State Department on the
difference between an Ambassador
and q Minister, and added that he
might have something to say about
the incident in his speech tonight
(The State Department ex-
plains that an Ambassador tech
nically is the personal repre-
sentative of the head of the state,
and that a Minister represents,
instead, the Government)
Scheduled to leave here in mid
afternoon, Mr.. Roosevelt will make
his first speech of this swing in the
Brooklyn Academy of Music tonight
Second presidential address in the
greater New York area within a
week-he spoke in Madison Square
Garden on Monday night-tonights
appearance is an important Demo-
cratic bid for the 500,000-vote city
plurality which is generally believed
needed if the upstate Republican
margin is to be overcome.
In further effort to snare the Al
electoral votes of the State, the
President will make a train-plat-
form speech in Rochester Satur-
day morning, perhaps another in
Batavia and a ride through Buffalo

Chamberlain Not on Way
To U. s., Secretary Says
By the Associated Press.

oy LtIe ASSOCldLeu -IcSo.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-Widely circu-
lated reports that Neville Chamber
lain was on his way to California in
hopes of regaining his health bought
from the former Prime Minister'S
secretary today the assertion that
he has not left this country and
has no intention of doing So"
Mr.. Chamberlain himself, the
secretary added, regarded the re-
ports as "such rubbish that he does
not consider them worthy of a
formal denial"
Reports emanating previously
from Mr.. Chanerlain's home city of
Birmingham were to the effect that
he and his wife had been on the
high seas for about 10 days.
The 71-year-old former leader,
under whom Britain entered the war
against Germany, resigned from the
cabinet of his successor, Winston
Churchill, october 3, because of
failing health.
He underwent an abdominal op-
Grafton last July % and has suf-
fered also from gout. During the
last two months of German air
raids on London, he has been un-
able to get proper rest, it was said.
