TO HOOVER'S 5; INDICATIONS 1 POINT T» LANDSLIDE FOR THE NEW YORK GOVERNOR. New York, Nov. 3.—Final returns i I in the Literary Digest ftraw vote will, "unless all signs fail." lie in. terpreted as "a presage of victory" tor Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Digest : tonight. The 3,064.497 votes fast Save Roosevolt, the Democratic n«%iinee.' 1 I 474 electoral votes. and leave Presi- i p dent Hoover 57, with 266 required for election. # • Some Cluui(K* likely The Literary Digest, however, dia. claimed any partisan policy, and de clared It "would be a miracle if ev ery state of the 48 behaved on elec tion day exactly as forecast in the poll." It said that "unleas all signs fail, unless some unexpected, elever. th hour condition arises to reverse The nation-wide trend dteclosed by thin ffreat monument of freshiy gathered statistics, the complete l»oH will be interpreted by many practical men and women of all parties as a presage of a Roosevelt victory." The vote was as follows: Roosevelt 1.715.789 or 55.99 per Hoover 1,150,198 or 37.53 per cent, (Thomas 138.079 or 4.84 per cent. V4l States In Roosevelt Column Fortyjone Mates appear in the Roosevelt column: Seven —the Ne*' England states and New JerMey—ln the Hoover column. Editorially, however, tH* Literary Digest said "we consider that M&a. sachuaett® and Rhode Island may, be expected to appear in the Roose velt column on election -night."' It pointed otit.' ti6WeTer, that. "there are some' 'close • Mates in the j Rooafevelt column fend that in the*, last daj-a o(. th« campaign the HwJ ver forces aref ' making prodtgiow* efforts . .

Ari for the Digest, it draws no 011- ; I elusions from the results of "its vast 1 distribution of twenty million ba!_ lots . . . "We make no claim to infallibility, j We know too well the limitations 1 of every straw vote, however enor- j mo us the sample, gathered, how ever fvientilh" the method.' Slight • ui 1 ■ I'or Hoover. The grand total showed a slight gain for President Hoover from the 37.33 per cent, of the total vote which lie had in the semi-final re. turns. It gave the President a leal in the seven states of Maine- Ne«v } i an] !H-h: re Vermont. Massachusetts Rhode Island. Connecticut and New Jersey. Editorially the magazine said: "We come to the important que'i tion of Massachusetts and Rhode Island- These t«o states are in the Hoover column on the poll. They were also in the Hoover column of our 192S poll, by still larger Rj. publican majorities, but both states were carried by Smifh. "History repeats itself, and the variations of our 1928 poll may 'happen again in 1932. We have polled the two states in exactly the same way that we polled them four years ago. A study of the returns convince us that in those states our ballots have somehow failed to come back in adequate quantity from large bodies of Dem ocratic votere .... St is further possible that Connecticut. New Hampshire and New Jersey, which also give ev#lence of having masse' of 'silent' Democratic voters . . . . may al«o fold up their tents and steal to the Roosevelt col. limn." Of close states which might aimi , larly away toward President Hoover, the Digest said: "Ne»'. York ,1s close. . So are Kan. #as, Colorado, Delaware, the Rep ah. . Hcar>s profess great confidence . that they will win some important states I 'by their whirlwind campaign afrq. ' oent weeks, and they expect espe cially.

Also, of course, the Hoovw cam paigner** are working like Trojan« n the Middle We»t. trying to fan some flame of emotion that may leap into a last minute backfire in favor o 1 their candidate.'' The publication said that a breakdown of the Thomas Socialist vote showed that It "includes GB,S6t> former Republicans, 33629 former Democrat* and 30,250 who did not vote in 1928." On minority party candidates other than Thomas, the poll stood: Reynolds, 1,908; Coxey, 4,390. Up* ■haw, IJ. 990; Foster, 15,741; mis. cellaneoiM. 14,204. The flnal returns of the 193* msrest poll forecast that Hoover ■would win 42 Mates. The only et*te« the publication failed to forecast correctly that year were W«ig chusetu* and Rhode Island ' Suing: the J. G.
