PROHIBITION'S CRADLE PILES UP 600,000 LEAD SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 8 (). John F. Bowman, chairman of the allied dry forces in Utah, today conceded Utah had become the 30th state to ratify the prohibition repeal amendment. (Br the Associated Press) The Eighteenth amendment was apparently voted out of the Constitution on the face of returns from Utah, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Ohio heaped up a 600,000 majority for real and In Pennsylvania the margin was six to one. North Carolina decisively rejected the repeal amendment, the voters placing the state on record as the first In the Union to break away from the wet march. The dry ratio was better than two to one. In South Carolina, the issue was more closely contested, but repeal forces conceded victory to prohibitionists on the face of 2.C00 yead with the missing precincts confined principally to dry rural sections. Kentucky, the sixth state to vote during the day, will count Its ballots to-day.

Returns from 399 of Utah's 798 voting precincts gave i total vote of for national prohibition repeal anti 34,810 against. Of 7,925 Pennsylvania districts, reported 350,466 for repeal and 92,722 against. L'tah Lead Mounts. SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 8 (P).

Slowly mounting returns tonight tended to move Utah toward a place alongside Ohio and Pennsylvania in making up the necessary 36 states to remove the federal prohibition amendment from the Constitution. Only three of the first 10 counties to report opposed repeal and they embraced rural districts in the southern part of the state. With 63 of 798 pre- cincts reported, the vote stood at for repeal and 5,628 against. The vote on repeal of the state prohibition amendment, so far as it had been reported, maintained about the same proportion. Hailing the early result as Indicating a sure repeal victory, Clarence Bam-berger, state commander of the Crusaders, repeal organization, said: "In view of this large decisive vote I trust Governor Blood will see fit to call a special session of the legislature to enact the necessary law to give us a controlled liquor traffic.

I believe that such legislation will foster temperance and it will give us needed revenue. "The cost of convening the legislature would be nominal compared to the revenue return. I fear unless this Is done conditions here will be far from satisfactory." RepeaH of the state prohibition amendment would affect the state prohibition law only to the extent of legalizing the manufacture and sale of 3.2 beer. The legislature will not meet in regular session until January, 1935. II 01 AND PRICE THREE CENTS HEAVIES!

HUNTERDM, PASSAIC, BERGEN, MERCER UPSET NEWARK, Nov. 8 (IP) Democrats, who threatened in early returns to wrest control of the state assembly from the Republicans, were balhed when Bergen county returned five Republicans after a close race.

The Democrats, on the basis of late returns, appeared to have gained a seat in the senate and five assembly places. NEWARK, Nov. 8. (P) The Democratic party making unexpected gains in four counties in late tums threatened to wrest from the Republicans their control of the lower house of the legislature. Continued Republican control of the house, conceded earlier in the evening when Essex returned a G.

O. P. Block of 12 assemblymen, was jeopardized by a Democratic surge in Passaic, Bergen, Hunterdon and Mercer counties where Republican Incumbents were trailing. Even in Camden county, usually Republican by 10,000, Democratic assembly candidates were leading in early returns. In addition the Democrats apparently captured a Republican senate seat in the Passaic upset.

Victories for the Democrats in the contested assembly fights in which they now hold leads would give their party' control of the house by the margin of one vote, for the election of 29 Republican assemblymen is assured. In Mercer county the Democrats captured three assembly seats, picked up another in Hunterdon, and threatened to take five in Bergen and four in Pas-sale. Dunn Leads In Passaie The chances of a Democratic senate victory in Passaic appeared optimistic altho Republican districts were still outstanding. Returns from 109 of 199 districts gave Arthur C. Dunn, Democrat, 18,719, and the Repubican Incumbent, John C.

Barbour, 16,843. Even with a Republican surge in the late tabulations, it appeared the result would be exceedingly close. In Hunterdon county Horace G. Prall, Republican incumbent was reelected by a 300 odd vote majority over H. Klefer (Continued on Page Two) Wanted.

120 DISTRICTS GIVE PRYOR, HERBERT LEAD A clean sweep of the county ticket gave Monmouth county Democracy control of the board of freeholders a tabulation of 120 out of the 137 election districts of the county revealed today. Democratic majorities in every instance were substantial with leads of slightly more than 2,000 in ever: instance. Theron McCampbclI, tax crusading assembly was high man oa both tickets, polling a total of 25,066 in the 120 districts. The results, which will not be materially affected by the districts not yet reporting, give Democrats control of the county board of freeholders for the first time since 1918. Monmouth county was also emphatic In its affirmative vote for the legalization of horse racing, 19,854 votes approving legalization and 4.477 rejecting It.

McCampbell's margin over his Republican rival Herbert Edwards, Red Bank, the largest majority on the ticket, was 4,588. Arthur Pryor, Wanamassa bandmaster making his political debut, polled the highest total on the freeholder ticket, 24,497. Rejection of- Rc'publlca' "ieilcitrshlpTn Asbury Park was reflected thruout the county. The count of the city election vote in Asbury Park delayed complete county returns but it was anticipated that these figures would not afford either party any considerable advantage over the other. Fred Schock, Spring Lake seek lng reelection as McCampbell running mate, beat Joseph R.

Moglll by 2,823. Schock received 23,218 and Me gill, Bradley Beach, 20,395. Pryor's margin over Bryant B. Newcomb, who now retires as director of the board of freeholders, was 3,065. Newcomb, Long Branch, received 21,432 in the 120 dis tricts including returns from his home town.

Henry Herbert, Englishtown, was also victor by the comfortable majority of 2,744 over Arthur Johnson, In-terlaken. Herbert polled 23,647 and Johnson 20,903. The Democratic victory was even more significant In view of the comparative lack of Interest in the county ticket. Leaders of Democracy attacked what they termed the extravagant policies of the Republican board and pointed to the constantly Increasing county debt. The record of Sheriff Howard Height with Surrogate Joseph Donahay, the only Democratic office holders, was constantly referred to by the victors during the campaign as a sample of the service that might be expected from candidates of that party.

The results of the election give the Democrats Newcomb's seat at the board and the position occupied by Elmer Polhemus, Cream Ridge farmer who is retiring from public office.

Oakes claimed neither lived In the boro. Both were arraigned before Recorder Jcre M. Carewe and held In $100 ball for the grand Jury. Countercharges were made against Oakes, Mrs. Keid claiming intimidation because the challenger had threatened arrest before she voted.

Oakes was also held in $100 ball for grand Jury action. Several arguments occurred In the boro during the election. 1 Sylvester Hall, colored, 28, 1131 Mat-tlson avenue, this city, lay dying in tht Filkln hospital at midnight as the result of a shooting on the city's west side growing out of an argument ver the election. Charles Shelton, colored, 48, of 1505 Springwood avenue, held as the assailant, was committed to the county Jail without ball to await the outcome of Hall's injures.

The only witness to be held was Leonard Johnson, 918 Asbury avenue, this city, who is employed as chauiler by Dr. Max Silvcrstein, one of the candidates In the city election and who Hall was supporting.

Johnson said he and Hall went into the taproom where Hall was accosted by Shelton with the remark, "You've no business in here witfh that button on" Indicating an insignia of the Citizens' and Taxpayers' association which Hall wore. The witness said Hall replied, "I'm getting out right away." The next words exchanged were not heard by the witness but a tussle followed, during which Shelton drew a .32 caliber automatic and fired five shots. Two of them lodged In the lower and two in the upper portion of Hall's abdomen. He staggered to the curb where he was accosted by Sergt. Elbert Wills who asked, "Who shot you?" 'That son of a gun in there" the wounded man replied, pointing in the taproom.

(If) With rural areas supporting the cities Pennsylvania today piled up an overwhelming majority for repeal.

Early returns showed the foes of prohibition leading more than four to one. Of the 7,925 districts in the state, 1,213 reported 314,337 lor repeal and 73,927 against. While Philadelphia contributed half i of the wet's early strength, Pittsburgh had yet to make its influence felt in maintaining the ratio as returns trickled in from farming regions. Even county districts, however, failed to rally to the defense of the Eighteenth amendment. Eight counties of the 67 in the state were listed in the dry column as the tabulations progressed, none of them by impressive totals.

Two other counties saw the wets and drys only a dozen votes apart. Of the districts recorded, 326 were In Philadelphia. They registered the one-sided totals of 111,448 for and against repeal. The one district in Allegheny (Pittsburgh) county for which returns were available added to the majority, 316 to 23. Altho dry leaders were conspicuously quiet toward the close of the campaign and Governor Gifford Plnchot, staunch prohibitionist, had said "nothing was more obvious" than that the people had decided against the dry law, the size of the keystone state's wet vote, particularly in rural sections, Was distinct surprise.

While the repeal vote Indicates the Will of the electors, it actually names the IS delegates to the state's repeal (Continued On Page Three) court. James J. Smith, 624 Summerfield avenue, the complainant, charged that Goldstein had said he had been a resident of this city for only two weeks and that his home was in Bradley Beach.
