I send you every good wish." The chief executive's telegram was addressed to "Gov. Alfred M. Landon." The governor had signed his first name "Alt," saying: "The nation has spoken. Every American will accept the verdict and work for the common good of our country.

That Is the spirit of democracy. You have my sincere congratulations." Roosevelt will remain here until tomorrow night, returning to Washington Friday morning. Because of the maritime strike, his plans for a vacation cruise In southern waters probably will be held In abeyance for the present. Reports that there will be several new faces In the second Roosevelt cabinet brought no official comment from White House sources, altho sev around." About 9 o'clock last night, newsmen and photcgraphers who had transformed the big garaje behind the executive mansion into a pulsing press room, were invited to the informal reception. Mrs.

Landon shook hands with each of the long line of guests that streamed thru the back entrance into the high-1 eeilinged kitchen. There Peggy Anne, 1 the governor's 19-year-old daughter, 1 was listening to a small radio. A few minutes later, the governor came down stairs, puffing a briar pipe, and greeted his guests in the living room with a cheery "Hello, glad to see you." He chatted with various groups, The governor's father, John M.

Harry H.

Woodrlng of Kansas a named secretary of war only tempor-arlly to succeed the late George H. Dern. It Is regarded as virtually certain this will be one of the cabinet offices to be changed. In a happy mood, the president remained up checking returns over three special wires last night for more than seven hours. He was surrounded by members of the family and small group of Intimate friends and administration officials.

Shortly before 11 p. m. last night, sfores of cars bearing Hyde Park neighbors with red torches drove Into the estate with a band and gave the president an old-fashioned serenade. "I can't say anything official, but It looks as If we arc going to have one of the largest sweeps ever heard of In the history of the United States," he told the cheering townsfolk. Wearing a blue suit with white pin strtpes.

he stood In a light rain on the front porch with hla mother and wife and children as the crowd gave "three cheers" and the band played the 1933 campaign song, "Happy Dayi Are Here Again." "Four more happy year with Roosevelt," came a voice among the crowd on the broad lawn. "Thanks," the president said with broad smile, adding: "I'm awfully glad Hyde Park got here ahead of Poughkeepsle. But Poughkeepsle la on the way and I believe we will carry It." Latest returns showed he had rar-rled the normally Republican town of Poughkeepsle and hla own district In Hyde Park village, but had lost hit home township. CHICAGO, (AV-John D. Hamilton, vigorous, square-Jawed, red hatred chairman of the Republican National committee, was the last of his party leaders to admit defeat, but he did It with a smile.

Less than three hours after the husky Kansan told members of the party they could "go to bed as Republicans with the assurance that tomorrow will see different tabulations," he Issued his "closing statement of the 1936 campaign." Hamilton was obviously tired and worn from his slashing five montlis' campaign to elect Gov. Alt M. Landon. But he smiled broadly as he walked Into a make-shift studio next to his apartment in a loop hotel to read his statement and his voive crackled. "Gentlemen, we who are about to die salute you," he said to the radio men.

"Too bad there Isn't a photographer," he said with a laugh later. "It will be a different room four years from now." He asked that in Introducing him they announce It as "my closing statement of the 1936 campaign." At 11 o'clock last night, when a mounting avalanche of Democratic votes had all but burled the hopes of his party In the election, Hamilton weut on the air to bolster the party spirit. It was a fitting climax to the tremendous effort the big chairman had put forth since the drive began. "There are many who are listening to me tonight," he said, "who remember the same night 20 years ago when we went to bed with Hughes safely elected and arose to find that President Wilson had been elected. "The rural vote Is coming In, and watch the returns from now on.

Bleakley, Republican, for the Empire state governorship. (AP) Madrid's Hope Lies to Soutli Government Bulletin of Counter-Attack Is Only Bright Spot. MADRID (P Awakened by the crash of Fascist artillery, thundering within three miles of suburban Getafe, citizens of this siege-bound capital pinned waning hopes today on a re ported Socialist counter-attack in the south. A laconic bulletin issued by the war ministry stated that government militia had carried out "an encircling movement on Torrcjon de Vclasco and on Sesena." Defeat-wearied spirits momentarily soared. A Socialist victory on the Tor-rcjon-Seseria front, it was pointed out, might force the insurgents hammering at the gates of Madrid to withdraw from the capital area and rush troops to the new "danger point." The Socialist attack, emanating from Aranjuez, 28 miles southwest of Madrid, was reported heavily supported ny tanks and was aimed at harassing the Madrid-bound Fascist troops from the rear.

Official confirmation of the extent of the insurgent advance on the capital itself was lacking. Associated Press correspondents with the Fascist army south of Madrid reported the capture of Mostoles, 10 miles southwest of the capital, and Villaviciosa, a village between Bruncte and Mostoles. Seizure of Mostoles was the immediate objective of the insurgent offensive launched Sunday from Navalcarnero. Almeda Defeats Andrews SHIP BOTTOM-BEACH ARLINGTON. Mayor George C.
