Abatement; Subject
Under Discussion

Officials of three states met
yesterday morning at the William
James hotel in Oakland TO discuss
the best possible method of climb
mating mine pollution in the
Youghioghcny river and the
Snowy Creek watershed
Maps covering the entire area
were gone over in detail as they
studied the problem Several
previous meetings have brought
forth promises of cooperation by
the governors of the states o.
West Virginia and Maryland, and
llaryland already has approved
the expenditure Of IS 600 10 clear
the Maryland streams. This amount
was approved by the Board Of
Public Works several months agn.
At the same time officials in West
Virginia said they felt the Icgisla-
turc in that state would provide
S2C.500 for their share which they
felt would take care of all neces-
sary expenses.
A further detailed survey has
since been made by West Virginia
engineers and those attending
yesterdays meeting felt that the
former estimate might be a little
low.
In order to start off the project
the West Virginia Department OF

Thirty-thir street NV, after

ant United States Attorney
William w. Greenhalgh said
Mr.. 10th may have to attend
another hearing before the
United States immigration and
Naturalization Service.
The Hungarian, a George

dent and president of Hun
garian Students III North
America, has the status of a
permanent resident alien here,
according to police.
His candle. inclosed in a
drinking glass, was intended
to commemorate the Hun
garian Revolution Of october

said. The uprising was crushed
by Russian troops.
Mr.. 10th said the candle
burned for 80 minutes after he
placed in on the limousine,
which was parked in the En-
bassy driveway. When En-
bassy officials discovered it
they called police, who sum-
moned Mr.. 10th to yesterdays

But for nine months previ-

Mitchell had carried the fight
from end to end of the State,
from cities to hamlets.
Personalities Rule
The campaign piYoted more
on personalities than issues.
Mr.. Mitchell, so. is probably
better known in New Jersey by
reason of his service in the
Eisenhower administrations.
Mr.. Hughes. 50, was on the Su-
perior Court bench, but had re-
tired to practice law before he
was nominated.
In the early stages, New Jer-
.sey analysts considered that
Mr.. Mitchell was well ahead
of Mr.. Hughes. In the home
stretch, however, Democrats
said polls showed Mr.. Hughes
had oyertaken his opponent.
In all the gubernatorial cleo
tionS since 1900, Democrats
have won 10 times, Republicans
nine.
The State went for Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, the @. o. P.
presidential candidate in 1913,
and twice for Gen. Eisenhower.
Mr.. Kennedy then carried it
last year by $4,000. At the same
time, G. o. P. Senator Clifford
P. Case was winning by S35, 900.

Wagner Given
Edge in Days
Crucial Vote

NEW YORK, Nov. z (AP).-
New Workers choose a mayor
today in an election that could
have a long-range impact on
the national political scene.
Democratic Mayor Robert F.
Wagner was a faVorite to win
a third term.
If he gets another four years
at City Hall, he'll be doing it
the hard way-against spirited
Republican opposition sparked
by top G. o. P. figures and a
split in the Democratic Party.
Republican leaders predicted
that their candidate, State At
torney General Louis j. Lef-
kowitz, would carry the city in
which enrolled Democrats out
number Republicans 81.
PartiSans also claimed victory
for the third major candidate,
economy minded Controller
Lawrence E. GeroSa, an anti
| Wagner Democrat running as
an Independent.
State Wide Election
The election is Statewide.
Forty-eight mayors will be
elected, and theyoters will de-
eide on seven proposed con-
stitutional amendments. New
York City voters also had three
local referendums, including one
for adoption of a new city
charter increasing the powers
of the Mayor and City Council.
Voting hours are from 6 am.
to Z pm.
New York City has a record
3,5O6,913 persons eligible to
vote. Forecasts of the actual
vote range from 2 million to
2.3 million.
Because of drizzling rain and
darkness, the voting in the city
got off to slow start. BY 8
am. it was much less than 10
per cent of the registered voters
in Manhattan and the Bronx.
However, with bright sun
shine breaking through the
clouds, the pace quickened to
almost Is per cent in some
areas by IL am. This was more
brisk than in the 1859 off-year
election, but slower than last
years presidential balloting.
If Mr.. Wagner wins-espe-
cially if he wins by a wide mar
gin-Democrats will claim a
boost for the Kennedy admin
iStration and a rebuff for G.. O..
/ P. Gov. Nelson Rockefeller.
If Mr.. Lefkowitz wins-or
even makes a real good show
ing-RepublicanS will claim a
boost for Gov. Rockefeller, who
is a candidate for reelection
next year and a possibility for
the G. o. P. presidential NOM
ination in 1854.
Wagner Seen Eyeing Senate
The most optimistic Demo-
cratic forecasts do not approach
the s23,OO7-vote majority by
which Mr.. Wagner won in 1857.
! Mr.. Wagner's political goal is
said to be a seat in the Senate
where his father, the late Rob-
ert F. Wagner, sponsored i'm
portant New Deal legislation.

and was defeated, and he re-
portedly would like to try again.
