Hartford, Conn, Nov. 4.-(UP)-
The Connecticut campaign swung
down the home stretch today as
preparations were completed for
handling a record breaking turnout
of voters at the polls tomorrow.
Approximately IS 900 were entitled
to cast their ballots, or 10000 more
than were registered for the 1886
presidential election.
Four years ago President Roose-

for tomorrow, with the outcome en-

At stake besides the national ticket
was the Republican administration

support of the Union party; one U.

Democrat Francis T. Maloney; and
six congressional seats, of which

Washington, Nov. 4-(UP)-Henry
A. Wallace, Democratic vice-pres-

farmers to support their friend,

morrow.
1.-THE agriculture issue in this cam
paign is whether we shall turn our
program over to the holding COM
pany candidate and his Wall street
hackers, or whether We shall go
forward with President Roosevelt,
Wallace said in a radio address.
Wallace pointed out that under
the Roosevelt administration farm
cash income has risen from $4,700,-
100000 in 1882 to about S9,000,000,-
600 in 1910. He said farmers were
still on the way up"

county charmen in New York state,
James A. Farley went to bat for
the RoosevelU-Wallace ticket today.
Admitting his deep concern for
Democratic success in New York,
whose Al electoral votes may make
either candidate a winner, Farley
urged thai every possible vote OBJ
tainable is brought to the polls on
election day in support of President
Roosevelt and the entire Democratic
ticket"
It was the first active gesture Far
ley had made in favor OF Mr.. Roos-
evelt's third term candidacy which
he had opposed. He mad appeared
on the platform with Mr.. Roosevelt

been taken as the acts OF "a good

tories, Democrat Chairman
Maurice F. Tangney predict
ing a Roosevelt sweep by

man Vernon L. Hall claiming
that Willkie will carry the city by

state tickets but also for two state
senators, two representatives, a con-

Big Vote Predicted
Party leaders predicted a heavy
vote, perhaps Of 10000 Or more. This
seems borne out by the fact that
almost $50 absentee ballots will be
cast. the creates number since their
legalization was voted by the legis-
lature five years ago.
The Democratic parade will form
at the city hall at o'clock. 1t will
proceed through downtown streets,
then to Brooklyn where an outdoor
rally will be held Duggan Square,
with James A. Phelan as chairman.
The parade will hen go to Washing

at South and Washington streets,
with Patrick J. Wallace as chair
man. The final rally of the cam
puaign will be on lower BALDWIN
street, near Scovis bridge.
Neutrs For Democrats
Neutral observers today agreed
that the Democrats would carry the
city tomorrow, but there was a wide
disparity in the estimates. There
seemed little chance that the margin
would be anything comparable to the
$4,000 edge with which the President
swept the city four years ago.

United Press Staff Correspondent

Salt Lake City, Nov. A
(UP)-A United Airlines
transport plane en- route from
Oakland, Cal, to New York
crashed in a heavy snow
storm early today within a
few miles of the Salt Lake
City airport. 1t was uncer-
tain whether any of the ten
persons aboard escaped
death. The wreckage of the
plane, which crashed against the
rugged Wasatch mountains, was
sighted at noon today about Is
miles north of here.
Ted Vaky, private pilot sent out
by United. radioed the discovery to
the Salt Lake airport.
The plane did not appear to be
badly wrecked" Vaky said.
The wreckage was discovered at an
altitude Of 1000 feet or. the Wasatcll
mountains four miles north of
Bountiful, Utah.
Searching parties left at once
from an emergency camp estab-
lished at Bountiful. The searchers
were equipped with skis and ex-
pected to reach the crash scene
within a few hours.
Meanwhile, air line officials, head
ed by S. v. Hall, superintendent Of
operations, began an immediate in
vestigation of reports the radio di-
regional beam had failed as the
plane neaYed Salt Lac City for q
landing.
1t was reported that the beam had
failed and that the pilot had no way
of gauging his position in relation
to the lofty range which lines the
incoming route. The failure was at
tributed to the blizzard-like storm
that was raging.
Vaky, when he returned to Salt
Lake City, said the plane appeared
to be in good condition"
zone door was open, which means
some of the occupants might have
got out" he said.
The plane appeared to be resting
on the side of steep hill.
Vaky returned to circle the wreck
to guide ground searchers.
United revealed that Fey had
said in his last communication
he was 5000 feet over Layton, Utah
-18 miles north of Salt Lake--and
was descending.
