DEMOCRATIC WEATHER PUTS THEM ON GUARD Small Towns and Some Cit ies Expected to Roll Up 50,000 Plurality For McLean and Templeton. The closing cif the state campaign last night saw both major parties preparing to bend every energy to get out the vote today. Less Interest has been shown in the campaign this year than in many years past, and leaders were aware that the Btay-at-home vote was the worst evil to be contended with today. Total Vote Important. A prediction of unsettled and showery weather for today resulted in the placing of even greater emphasis on this point than had previously been made.

Much depends on the size of the vote. The prediction of J. Henry Itoraback, chairman of the republican state central committee, that the republican state ticket will be elected by at least 50. 000 purality Is based on a total vote of 300,000 being cast by She major parties, which would be ihout fiO.OOO less than the combined strength of the republicans and democrats in the presidential election two years ago. Considering the showing made ny republicans in Maine in September, and all other indications, even to the extent of granting- to the democrats for the sake of argument, the outside figures claimed by them In the large cities it Is impossible to conceive of a democratic victory.

Spellacy, democratic nominee for t'nited States Senator, would lave to go out of his home city of Hartford with 10.000 to 12.000 votes plurality to stand a chance of carry lng the state against Senator George P.

Washington, Nov.

Declaring that the "modern tendency toward indiscriminate legislative and Judicial Jugglery" with great fundamental questions of free government, if persisted In, would lead ultimately to "social disorder and revolution." the District of Columbia court of appeals today held unconstitutional the minimum wage law effective in the capital. In holding the law Invalid and thereby establishing what Is regarded as likely to be a precedent of far-reaching importance, the court of appeals reversed itself from a decision handed down in June, 1921. The court divided two to one on the question, the dissenting opinion being rendered by Chief Justice Smyth. The majority opinion, however, denounced the minimum wage law which it declared would take from every American citizen the "most sacred safeguard the constitution affords, the right to bargain and sell his labor for the highest wage his skill and efficiency affords."

In the senatorial fights, interest was centered on the lively campaigns in Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Maryland. New Hampshire does not hold a senatorial election this year and Maine had its election all by Itself last September. The fight in the Bay State has attracted widespread interest because the Veteran Senntor Henry Cabot Lodge, the Republican Senate leader, is a candidate for re-election. His democratic opponent is William A.

Both sides agreed that the republicans woud carry the up-state counties, with few exceptions, and both agreed that New York City would democratic State, Chairman George K.

but he would not attempt to estimate the vote in the city. Two years ago, ex-Governor Alfred E. Smith, who Is running again against the governor carried the city by a plurality of nearly 320,000. The democratic managers claim that Mr. Smith will sweep the city by a greater plurality than In 1S20, some of the official predictions running as high as 500.000.

The democrats also claim that they will cut Into the republican majority up-state, a claim that Is vigorously disputed by the republicans. The democratic claims for Dr. Royal S. Copeland for United States Senate arc not so emphatic as in the case for governor, merely that he would be elected. The seat of Senator Joseph J.

Meeting Arranged When Retailers Here Write to Fuel Administrator That Danger of Suffering Is Not Past. MAYOR TO ATTEND SESSION THURSDAY To discuss what steps It is practicable to take to increase the supply of coal in this city. James N. II.

Campbell, fuel administrator for Hartford, has called a meeting of local coal dealers Thursday at 4:30 p. in. at his office in the Connecticut Mutual Building. Mr. Campbell received letters from several dealers, in which they pointed out the urgent need for such a gathering as with the approach of cold weather the fuel situation is bordering on the danger line.

Possible Buffering from the lack of fuel when lero weather comes was suggested in the dealers' letters in tho event that they were unable to supply their costumers. At present only by clever disposition of their stocks are they able to satisfy a majority of the requests for coal. The tendency of the public to show little enthusiasm In buying hard coal substitutes Is also making the situation more grave and It is possible that this will be discussed at length at the meeting. Invitations have been Bent to the dealers, and Mr. Campbell said yesterday that if any dealer did not receive one, it was by oversight and that all were asked to he present.

State Fuel Administrator Thomas W. Russell will attend.
