Marjorie Blevins Is
Music Club Hostess
Miss Marjorie Blevins entertain
ed the members of the Orpheus
Mu.sic club at her home in WilVes-
boro Tuesday afternoon. In the
absence of the president. Winifred
Carlton, Charlie Proffit occupied
the chair for the bu.siness period.
For the first part of the pro
gram the members engaged in a
general discussion of current mus
ical events and a study of promi
nent radio stars.
A radio broadcast featured the
second part with Elizabeth Neel
a.s announcer, who was very origi
nal and entertaining in presenting
her numbers. Piano solos were
played by Violet Johnson, Carolyn
Sue Linney, Peggy Somers and
Charles Proffit. Norma Snioak
played two numbers on a Spanish
guitar and Pauline Church gave a
delightful reading.
To clo.se the afternoon dainty
refreshments were served during
the social hour. The next meeting
is scheduled to be held with Wini
fred Carlton.
I Balancing against Eastern Re-
j publican victories, Kentucky last
night counted a "wide majority
for its antlHsales tax Democratic
gubernatorial nominee, A. B..
(“Happy”) Chandler.
As the tabulation of ballots,
cast Tuesday, proceeded, h kl
swung far Into the lead over
King Swope, Republican, despite
the backing given the latter liy
the present Democratic gover
nor, Ruby Laffoon.
With 905 precincts reporting.
Chandler piled, up 1'32,586 votes
to 104,672 for King.
Prohibition Trails
With Chandler, a proposal
that Kentucky repeal Its prohi
bition amendment also held an
early lead, as did a proposal to
establish state-maintained old
age pensions.
Safely in control of the New
York and New Jersey state as
semblies and victorious In elect
ing a mayor in Philadelphia and
a superior court judge for Penn
sylvania, Republican leaders
claimed voters in those states had
repudiated the new deal.
“The boon-dogglers are on
their way out,” exulted Henry P.
Fletcher, chairman of the Repub
lican National Committee. “The
Republican party is on Us way
back to power.”
Chairman James A. Farley, of
the Democratic National Commit
tee, saw it otherwise. He assert
ed that popular vote totals in
New York would give Democratic
candidates a plurality of some
500.000.
“.Accepting that the new deal
was the issue.” he added, “New
York state voted in favor of it by
the large majority of 500,000.”
Farley insisted that Republi
can gerrymandering had made it
, impo.ssible for the Democrats to
elect a majority of the assembly
i except in landslide years.
! Adding to the complexity of
the Democratic factional fight in
the Kentucky campaign, the new
deal issue was very emphatically
raised b y some Democratic
spokesmen, who appealed for
Chandler votes as ballots endors
ing the Roosevelt administration.
Swope avoided any mention of
the new deal in his speeches.

Decisively leading- ti^. .New
York’s state elections, rtlUp^hH^
can leaders quickly filed a
last night that the Empire
bad repudiated the new deat-.'^"-'
Ousting at least eight Demo
cratic incumbents, they'appiari
ly regained control of the st*
assembly, by a margin'eetlml
at five to six seats. The DeQfo-
crats had a majority of fonr in
the last assembly. A Repnhlican
trend was apparent too in the
state’s mayoralty elections.
Melvin C. Eaton, Republican
state chairman, hailed the bal
loting as plainly marking "a
trend away from the new deal.”
Irving M. Ives, Republican as
sembly leader, declared the re
sult outright repudiation of the
Roosevelt adtninistration.
Farley Denies Claims
Such claims, however, were
quickly contested by Postmaster
General Farley, chairman of the
Democratic national committee
and of the New York Democratic
state committee.
The result, he said, “ought to
be a sufficient answer to the
question of the continued popu
larity of Franklin D. Roosevelt.”
He asserted that Republican ger
rymandering had made It impos
sible for the Democrats to elect
a majority of the assembly except
In a landslide election.
Farley saw his own district go
Republican, as did President
Roosevelt, so far as the assemb
ly elections were concerned. In
Hyde Park, however, a Demo
cratic supervisor was elected for
the first time in years.
Elated neighbors formed an
impromptu torchlight procession
to the Roosevelt home. Mr. and
Mrs. Roosevelt greeted them,
smiling, on the porch. Several of
the ladies ktssed the President.
Meanwhile, returns were com
ing in slowly from state legisla
ture elections in New Jersey.
The.v showed the usual Democrat
ic sweep.

.Miami. Flu.. Nov. 4.—Reported
to liave taken the lives of three
persons, the second disastrous
hurricane of the year lashed Mi
ami, swung through the Ever
glades and tonight passed into
the liiilf of Mexico.
Tile Jacksonville weather bu
reau .said the storm moved into
the .itnlf at 8 p. m. (e.s.t.), slight
ly north of Cape Sable, about
thirty miles south of Everglades
City.
The storm's track was some
sixty miles north of Key West
and all danger was believed gone
tor the lower keys area.
-At Everglades City, the barom
eter was 29.63 at S p. m., and
rising while winds were subsid
ing.
Miami at the same hour, had
a 24-mile-an-hour wind.
May Regain Strength
Gordon E. Dunn, meteorologist,
said the hurricane might regain
the strength it lost moving across
the southern end of the peninsu
la in the gulf. Passing over -water
again, Dunn said the storm like
ly would turn northwestward.
Everglades City apparently had
e.scaped without damage.
Signal rockets were sent up
tonight by an unidentified ship
off Miami Beach about three-
quarters of a mile. The boat was
almost imme'diately opposite the
fashionable Roney Plaza Hotel.
Persons at the hotel said the
craft ap'peared to be a combined
freighter and passenger steamer.
