COP Hopes
 To Capture House Seats
By JOSEPH L. MYLER

(Un1ted Press Stan COrreSpOndent)
 New York, Nov. 6-UP)-Repub- lican hopes of capturing a majority of house seats appeared brighter to- day than at any time since the COP lost control of the house after the 1880 election as then President Herbert Hoover was starting his last two years in office.
 Neither party has an absolute majority as of today.
 Republican National Chairman Herbert Brownell has predicted that tomorrow's voting will swell the COPS present total of 21O to ma jority of the 435 seats.
 In that event, Republicans would organize the house, heading up the committees and electing Rep. Jos eph w. Martin, Jr., Mass, now nin- ority leader, as speaker to succeed Sam Rayburn, D., Tex.
 During last weeks campaign swing through Massachusetts, Re- publican presidential nomin e Thomas E. Dewey repeatedly re- ferred to Martin as "the next speak CT of the house of representatives. !"
 Democrats, however, have insisted not only that they will not lose any of their PA present numbers but will add to their total
 A bare majority requires 218 seats.
 432 Representatives
 The voters will elect 432 repre- sentatives tomorrow, Maine having picked three Republican members in September. With these three, the COP has eight sure house mem bers for the next two years before the polls open, five of the party's candidates being unopposed.
 Similarly, the Democrats are sure of 51, including Speaker Rayburn, four seats in California, Louisiana's eight, one in New York and others scattered through the southern states.
 Another sure victor is Representa- tive VitS Marcantonio, American Labor Party member from New York He was nominated not only by the ALP but also by the Democrats and Republicans.
 Prominent members certain not to be among those present in the new house include Chairman Mar tin Dies, D., Tex, of the house com- mitte Investigating un-American ac- tivities, and Representatives John Costello, D., Calif., and Joe Starnes, D., Ala, members of the Dies com- mittee.
 They were strongly opposed in pre- primary campaigns by the CIO Po- litical Action Committee. Dies did not seek re-nomination, the selec- tion going to J. M. Combs, and Cos tello and Starnes were defeated. StarneS will be succeeded by Albert Rains, D., Ala. Hal Styles, who de- feated Costello in the California primary, is opposed for election by Gordon L. McDonough, Republican.
 More PAC Opposition
 Another member of the Dies Com- mittee opposed by the PAC was Representative J. Parneu Thomas. R., N. J. He won renomination, how ever, and is pited against James J. Cannon, D., in the election.
 Two races in which more than passing general interest has been manifest involved two prominent pre-war isolationists, Representa- tive Hamilton Fish, R., N. Y, and Representative Stephen A. Day, R., III.
 Fish is opposed by August W. Bonnet. Bennett ran against Fish in the Republican primary and lost. He is running agfiainst him in the elec-

Republican Leaders
 Termed Reactionary
Homer s. Cummings Says Hope of Settled Peace Rests
 With Democratic Leadership

"Isolationist senators, more inter- ested in party triumph and in the destruction of great American than they were in the peace of the world, took advantage of the two- thirds rule. Under the leadership of Henry Cabot Lodge, they mutilated the treaty, debated it endlessly, offered crippling amendments and reserva- tions and finally brought about its rejection.
 T saw Woodrow Wilson giving his life for the cause of permanent peace. It was moving tragedy.
 His laborS during the war and at Versailles had laid heavy tool up- on his reserve powers.
 And yet, following his return from Europe, he found it necessary, on account of Senate opposition, to make an extended and exhausting trip to plead with his fellow citizens for support.
 "His addresses on that journey will stand forever as monument to American statesmanship, courage and vision
 MT. Cummings repeated President Wilson's prophecy, made in 1924 shortly before his death, that the fight for international cooperation would have to be repeated in 20 years at ten times the cost.
 q registered. then and there,'' he continued, "a VOW to do everything within my power, if the chance came again, to prevent recurrence of the tragic mistake we made be- fore.
 q am redeeming the debt owe to Woodrow Wilson. I see history re- beating itself.
 T see another great American conducting war for freedom with such brilliance and success that the mouths. of even the most violent critics are stopped.
 We shall win this war as we won the First World War.
 And this time we shall not let the isolationists in the Senate and elsewhere deprive us of the legitim- ate fruits of victory - just and lasting peace.
 "A second chance has been af- forded us, a second chance, by a concord of free nations, to stop in it's tracks any predatory nation that may seek to throw off the reign of justice and law and embark upon the conquest of the peaceful rla- tions of the world"
 MT. Cummings called for the elec- ton of President Roosevelt and Democratic senators and represent atives, pointing out that the hope of settled peace rests with this lead- ership'', which is known factor.
 Those who guide the destinies of the Republican party are instincs lively reactionary and isolationist," :" he continued. Fortunately for America, multitudes of Republicans do not feel that way about it. Many of them were fooled before and do not propose to be fooled again"

u P MobiIizes To Report On
 he Election

New York, Nov. 6.-CUP)-The ent6re domestic news personnel of the United Press and it's II domestic bureaus were fully mobilized today for the tremendous job of covering tomorrow's presidential election.
 Because of the 4,894 ,225 ballots distributed to Servicemen and wo- men and the probability of close race between the major presidential candidtes, there never has been a national election providing such dif- ficult problems in gathering the vote and tabulating 1t on local, state, and national basis, L. B. Nickel, United Press superintendent of bureaus, said.
 United Press preparations began almost year ago and every one of its correspondents was thorough " trained in his individual part. The machinery was designed to keep right on functioning until the final result is known which conceivably could be delayed until three weeks after election day due to tardiness in counting the service vote.
 A staff of IT top political writers and editors headed by Lyle c. Will son. United Press Washington man. ager, and Julius Frandsen, Wasf1- ington news editor, arrived in New York over the weekend, and aug- n1ented by the regular New York staff, set up the UPS national elec- tion headquarters under the super vision of Merton T. Akers, day news manager
 Tabulating Charts
 A large section of the New York neWSroom was cleared for huge tabulating charts which are so ex- tensive that they will show every de- tail of the vote counting at any Stage, yet so simple that their in- formation will be available to writers and tabulatorS at glance. The tables cover, in addition to the preSi- dential race, those for the senate and house and state governorships and provide complete background information such as comparable votes in previous elections.
 Regional election headquarters have been established in central bureaus across the country to cover such things as elections to state legislatures.
 Wilson will write the main elec- ton leads for afternoon newspapers and Paul F. Ellis, New York night bureau manager, will write them for morning newspapers. The main disptaches on the congressional and gubernatorial races will be written by Raymond Lahr, Joseph L. Myler, Ernest Barcella, and Charles Degges, of the United Press Washington staff.

Governor

Bridgeport, Nov. 6-Former Att torney General Homer s. Cummings last night explained his interest in the present election campaign by declaring he was redeeming the debt he owed to Woodrow Wilson to help prevent recurrence of "the tragic mistake" which was made in the de- feat of the League of Nations in 191e, He spoke over statewide radio hookup. The title of his talk was "The Second Chance"
 Speaking as one of his close friends and supporters, MT. Cummings said of President Wilson:
 He condu3ted a winning war and won the peace, also, only to see 1t destroyed by an irreconcilable cabal in the United States Senate.
