MIAMI R-The presidential vote
in Florida Tuesday could be the
closest in rs years.
AS the nip-and-tuck campaign
between Republican Dwight D. Eli.
senhower and Democrat Adlai E.
Stevenson came to an end, lead
ing supporters of both predicted
victory-but with cautious esti-
mates.
G. Harold Alexander, Republi-
can state chairman, said Eisen-
hover will carry Florida by $4,000
votes. j. Irwin Walden, Democrat
ic campaign director, forecast vic
tory for Stevenson by "at least
$4,000 votes"
Since $4,000 or 1000 votes are
likely to be cast, either Republi-
can or Democratic estimate would
give the winning candidate mar
gin of less than / per cent.
The closest vote in history was
IN 1872, when Republican Ruther-
ford B. Hayes won Florida'S cleo
Eoral vote from Democrat Samuel
j. Tilden by a majority of only
D26 popular votes that was estab-
Iished only after a tumultuous
court fight.

Winnie Judd AT
Large After
Fifth Escape

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 4. (INS)
Arizona authorities today pressed
a widening search for Winnie Ruth
Judd, At, notorious trunk murder
ress who again has escaped from
the insane asylum.
The slayer's latest break, her
fifth in the 10 years she has been
committed to the State hospital
for the insane, occurred Satur-
day night.
She sneaked out a darkened
room where she an other inmates
were viewing a television show and
then staged an escape similar to
the one she made last November.
She made her way to a 3rd floor
store room, removed a heavy
screen from a window and slid 48
feet to the ground on a rope i'm
provised out of straight jacket
harness and pieces of cloth,
Then, clearing the final barrier
to her freedom, she scaled a nine
foot fence topped by three strands
of barbed wire.
This latter feat led authorities
to suspect that she may have had
outside help.
It was reported that shortly be-
fore the break two women were
see in a black 1913 Hudson sedan
parked in front of the hospital,
but the sheriff's office belittled
the theory that the car may have
been used in the escape.
The demented killer, who is
known for her cunning, disap-
peared completely in a matter Of
minutes and left no clues at all as
to where she may have gone.
Authorities alerted state line
check stations and Mexican bor-
der officials to be on the lookout
for her and began checking all of
her acquaintance.
Mrs. Judd was adjudged insane
and committed to the asylum in
1888 only 72 hours before she was
to have been executed for the
murder of two nurses, Hedvig
Samuelson and Agnes Ann Leroi.

sort to combat the Kefauve cam
paign for Ohio delegates.
The state committee will vote
to split the vote Of at-large dele
gates, giving 16 men a half vote
each instead of giving a full vote
to eight delegates. The committee
then will announce the names Of
it's at-large candidates.
The obvious purpose is to cut
down the danger of any Kefauver
delegate carrying a full vote to
the convention if elected. The
Tennessee Senator announced only
10 days ago that he would enter
the Ohio primary, and his spokes-
men admit he has available only
eight at-lagre candidtes of suffi-
cient stature to attract votes.
Thus, even if all eight should be
elected, the regular party organi-
cation still would have half the at
large vote by winning the other
eight half vote delegates.
The right of a state committee
to split votes was given by the
1913 National convention to widen
the representation-and spread
around the honor-of the various
delegations.
The regular Ohio party delega-
ton is nominally pledged to for
mer Sen. Robert Buckley of Cleve-
land-but he generally is consid-
cred a stand-in for President Tru-
man if the latter wishes to run
again. However, Democrat State
headquarters insists the delega-
ton is actually unpledged.

By the Assoeio,ed Press

TRENTON, N. j., April 25.-
Frank Hague, long time political
boss of New Jerseys Democrats,
today lost his job as Democratic
national committeeman from New
Jersey.
The Democratic State Commit
tee voted to replace him with

Mr.. Hague, who is 76. started
losing power in May. 1949. when
John V. Kenny was elected as
Mayor of Jersey City, beating
Hague's candidate, Frank Hague
| Eggers, a nephew.
This split the party and there
were rumors that Mr.. Hague would
attempt a comeback.
Earlier this year Mr.. Hague an
nounced he was returning to polit-
ical life and planned TO fulfill hi.
duties as national committeeman
at the Chicago convention in July
! Mr.. Hague'S term does not ex

when the national committee vote

House Is Expected

immigration Bill Today

The House was expected to ap-
prove and send to the Senate
today hotly debated immigration
bill.
During two days Of argument
House members have turned back
numerous moves to expand i'm
migration machinery.
Those actions indicated the
House will not increase beyond
154,657 the number of foreigners
who may enter this country an
nually. That is the figure recon-
mended by the House judiciary
Committee and is about 400 more
than present law allows. The
bill retains the present formula
for setting quotas.
The measure is similar to a
bill already approved by the Sen

Eisenhower Facing
Increasing Attacks
From Democrats
BY the Associoied Press

The signs were clear today
that Democratic attacks on Gen.
Eisenhower will increase in tempo
as the time nearS for his return
to seek the Republican presiden-
tial nomination.
Secretary of Labor Tobin, in
one Of the first administration
blasts at citizen Eisenhower as a
politician, said in Cumberland,
Md. last night the Democratic
Party isn't interested in a mys-
terry man" as a candidate.
Meanwhile, the State Depart
ment-insisting no politics was
involved in the action-Said it
has quit passing out pictures of
Gen. Eisenhower to Americans
planning to visit Europe.
The department said in the past
18 months it has distributed
thousands of pictures of Gen.
Eisenhower on pamphlets explain
ing the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. Of which he is the
supreme commander. The last
was issued 10 days ago, and no
more will be printed.
Reese Repeats Charge.
The pamphlets came to light
after Representative Reece. Re-
publican, of Tennessee told a Bos-
ton news conference that the
Truman administration is spend
ing huge sums to promote Gen.
Eisenhower as political opponent
because they figure Eisenhower"
is their "best bet" to beat. Mr..
Reece, a supporter of Senator Taft
of Ohio for the G. o. P. nomina-
ton, first made the charge Thurs
day and repeated it again yester-
day.
Major political activity today
centered in Illinois and Arkansas,
where Republican conventions are
scheduled.
Senator Taft planned to keynote
the Arkansas convention tonight.
An Eisenhower leader in the State,
JEFF Spreck, conceded that the
Ohio Senator would have the sup
port of seven delegates already
chosen in district meetings but he
said the generals hackers would
try to capture the four delegates
at large in the convention.
Republicans in Virginia's 10th
district selected two supporters of
Senator Taft as national delegates,
giving him three of the four
chosen so far. The other one is
uncommitted. The State still must
choose 10 more delegates.
Write-in Record Claimed.
A Taft campaign aide claimed
the Pennsylvania write-in vote for
the Ohioan set a new record: He
said the $4,000 Write-in votes for
Senator Taft in Tuesdays primary
topped the previous high of 146.-
600 for Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of
New York in Pennsylvania in 1914.
In the Tuesday vote, Gen. Eisen-
hover got 847,000 and Harold E.
Stassen 121 ,000-but their names
were on the ballot.
