"It can't be as bad as it looks

A weary shake of the head was
the only reply he got.
All over the hotel, the words re-
peated themselves:
Incredible" Fantastic" Awful
Mr.. Dewey's assistants were not
the only people who used these
words. Some of the unhappiest
faces and thoughts were those OF
newspapermen who had exported
the election so positively. The mem.
cries of their neatest paragraphs
were refined torture now.
Everybody had been so sure. The
disintegration of assurance was
typified by Herbert Brownen, Mr.
Dewey's campaign manager. who
descended to the mezzanine four
times in the course of the night to
make announcements to the press
and the assembled faithful.

1t was Mr.. Hagerty who brought
the latest election news to the New

to President Truman.
While the announcement was be-
ing made, Gov. Dewey was having a
late breakfast in his suite.

wife and 71-year-old mother, Mrs.
George M. Dewey. were in the room.

AS dawn crept up upon the New

quarters at the Roosevelt presented
a scene of almost unimaginable
detection. The grand ballroom on
the mezzanine, where plush Repub-
licans of the Midtown district had
gathered at nightfall to celebrate
the victory, was a sad shambie OF
disarrayed chairs. crushed cigarette
butts and unhappy people.
They sat in small groups, sleepy
eyed and saggy -shouldered, talking
about almost anything except the
election returns. One man sought to
entertain his companions with dis

Boxer, which failed to catch the

DR.. Rosenberg added that, in his
opinion, the wound which killed Mr.
Smith was made with rife and not
a revolver bullet.
1t. John B. Layton of the homi-
eide squad told Of finding the .35-
caliber automatic rife Sunday at a
lumber yard near Half and F streets
S.W. He said police learned that
Hunter had stolen it about two
months ago from a residence.
Two policemen, Pvt. Jerome e.
Smith, colored, of No. precinct,
and Pvt. Thomas r. Allen, member
Of a scout car team, told of gun
fights they had with the killer at
the time of the slayings.
Unable to Identify Hunter.
Neither identified Hunter as that
man, but Pvt. Allen said Hunter
looked like the slayer.
Hunter, who police said shot his
way out Of Gordon and escaped
TO Baltimore, was arrested yester-
day by Detective Sergt. Paul H
Clarke Of the robbery squad a few
hours after he returned to Wash
ington.
Sergt. Clarke was of duty when
he received telephone information
that Hunter, whose identity as a
murder suspect had been estab-
lished Sunday night, was in the
vicinity OF Eleventh street and

relative is employed.

sped to the Southeast section and

armed and offered no resistance,
police said.
Once he admitted the killings,
Hunter talked freely and signed two
separate confessions, 1t. Flaherty
said. One confession described the
Staying of Mr.. Washington, victim
Of a robbery, and the other told
how Mr.. Smith was killed by rifle
bullet when he got in the line OF
fire while Hunter was shooting al
Pvt. Smith and Pvt. Allen, the de-
tective said.
Hunter, according to 1t. Flaherty

left his home Saturday night with
the gun under his coat. The butt
was under his shoulder and the
barrel exposed below the coat.
From his home, he wandered aim
lessly to the Rosalia Theater, six
blocks away, according to the story
Mr.. Flaherty gave out. The police
account was that Hunter said he
had no intention of 'robbing Mr..
Washington at that time and stood
in front of the theater for. half an
hour until he saw the manager
walking toward his car carrying q
bag containing approximately $500.
Tells Of Firing at Police.
1t. Flaherty said Hunter told
them he grabbed the bag after the
shooting and starting running when
he saw Pvt. Smith and Pvt. Allen,
who had been reporting at q
call box half block away racing
toward him. He opened fire on the
officers, according to the story told
1t. Flaherty, as he retreated east
on F street. In this exchange Mr..
Smith was killed and three youths
were wounded, none seriously, by
wild bullets.
At Second and F streets, Hunter
was confronted by q third partolman
and more shots were fired. On
Second street a scout car pursued
him into an alley and there he said
he dropped the bag containing the
loot. The bag has not been recov-
cred.
Hunter said he fled to the lum-
ber yard at Half and r streets
and hid there while a dense fog
enveloped the city. Then he aban-
doned his gun and coat and walked
to the freight yards in Southeast
Washington, where he hoped a
freight to Baltimore.
Police said Hunter has a record
as a housebreaker.

Dewey Gets Smallest
Margin in New York
In Recent History
BY the Asseeietsd Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Gov.
Dewey squeaked through in his
home State with the closest mar
gin for a presidential race In
recent Empire State history.
On the basis of almost complete
unoficial returns, the Republican
nominees edge over President Tru-
man was 42.128 votes in yesterdays
astonishing balloting in New York
State.
With 1856 of 1859 election districts
IN the State tabulated, the unofficial
tally gave Gov. Dewey, 2,837,070
Mr.. Truman, 2,794,942, and Henry A.
Wallace, Progressive Party, 50S,313.
The 20 missing districts all were
In normally Republican upstate
counties.
1883 Race Recalled.
1t was necessary to 60 back go
years in New York State to find q
closer race than the one between
the two major party candidates this
year. In 1888 Benjamin Harrison
defeated Grover Cleveland by 14,373.
The next closest battle in recent
years was in 1928 when Herbert
Hoover edged out AL Smith by
103,48l.
Mr.. Truman's showing in the
State was an amazing one in the
face of predictions by most political
observers that he would lose the
State by at least 100000. Some en-
thustastic Republicans had claimed
victory by 100000 votes.
The Presidents dogged campaign
against the Eightieth Congress ap-
parently paid of in New York's new
congressional alignment.
Democrats Pick Up Seats.
The Democrats picked up eight
congressional seats in yesterdays
balloting, seven at the expense of
the COP and one from an Ameri-
can Labor Party member.
The victories will give the Demo-
Gratis 23 seats in the new Congress
to 81 Republicans and one ALP rep
resentative, Vito Marcantonio, who
was reelected. In the Eightieth
Congress, there were 2S Republicans
from New York, Is Democrats and
two ALP members. The other ALP
member, Leo Isacson, was defeated.
Mr.. Truman actually took the
lead by as much as 10000 votes at
times as the ballots were tabulated
in last nights dramatic seesaw
struggle.
However, smashing plurality of
more than 100000 from Nassau
County. COP stronghold on Long
Island in the metropolitan New
York area, gave Gov. Dewey the
lead at the end.
Wallace Votes Hurt Truman.
Gov. Dewey did somewhat better
in the normally Republican upstate
areas yesterday than he. did four
years ago, but the falling off In
Democratic votes in New York City
was his principal prop.
Mr.. Truman's vote in the metrop-
oils was about 446,000 less than
Franklin D. Roosevelt received in
1914. This could be attributed al
most directly to the 423.424 ballots
castSfor Mr.. Wallace on the Ameri-
can Labor Party line in the city
yesterday. In 1914 the ALP sup
ported Mr.. Roosevelt.
Gov, Dewey's margin over Mr..
Truman upstate was about $50, 900,
while the Presidents edge in New
York City was $4,000.
The Republicans retained their
majorities in both branches of the
State Legislature but by somewhat
reduced margins.
