(Special.) A chimney fire at the home of F.

P. Usher, brother-in-law of former Governor John H. Trumbull, started things this afternoon. Fire Chief Edward P. Prior, who is first selectman, dropped his work of administering the electors' oath to an applicant in Town Hall, which is also the firehouse.

Three fire trucks were driven to the street to. await volunteer firemen, but few came because the whistle fire alarm on top of the Town Hall was Jammed. The chief climbed the roof and blew it by hand. Some volunteers came. The trucks hurried to the Usher home, set up apparatus, and then found the fire was in another Usher home nearby.

By this time it was out, having caused no damage. Chief Prior became again the first selectman and returned to his patient new voter. The other firemen returned to their lunches. Connecticut Leans To Republicans in Survey by NANA Sure Republican Kansas, Pennsylvania, Vermont. Electoral votes 48.

15. (AP.) Asserting directly that Democratic statements as to the origin of depression "can be proved absolutely untrue," President Hoover, tonight asked for a comparison of the two major parties based upon "actual performance not upon promises." Receives Ovation. The crowd rosi and cheered when President and Mrs. Hoover entered the hall. The President smiled as his wife, wearing a brown coat and brown hat, was given a huge bouquet of red roses.

Standing before the flash lights, the President smiled, as the crowd roared, showed little sign of the strenuous day ho had been through. The ovation lasted about 2 minutes. Standing in the same edifice in which Calvin Coolldge was nominated in 1924, the President time after time launched out directly at statements he attributed to "the Democratic candidate," Franklin D. Roosevelt. Replies ta 'Calumny, Then, turning to his own personal record, he described as "calumny" a statement from a "copy of instructions issued by the Democratic National Committee" to its speakers, He said the statement implied he had "engaged in the slavery of human beings," through contracting cheap Chinese labor In his early engineering days.

He denied having employed such labor in the South African mines. "I happen to have in the files in Washington, from the man who first penned those lies," he said, "a statement under oath, humbly and abjectly withdrawing them. "Such contemptible statements in a political campaign could be ignored were it not that they were Issued by the authority of the Democratic National Committee, and they would be of no interest to the American people except that it is proposed that a political party shall be placed in power over one hundred and twenty millions of people on the basis of votes secured in this manner." At the outset, the President said his address would be devoted largely to employment and wage questions. He outlined in detail 12 policies and measures which he described as the record of his administration on this score. Causes of Depression.

But before reaching this section of his speech, he turned directly to a discussion of causes of world economic strain, "Our opponents," he began, "have been going up and down the land repeating the statement that the sole or major origins of this disruption and this world-wide hurricane came from the United States through the wild flotation of securities and the stock market speculation In New York three years ago, together with the passage of the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill, which took place nine months after the storm broke. "I propose to discuss this assertion. "First: Because it can be proved absolutely untrue.

Washington, Oct. 15.

With the battle for the Presidency now at its height, Republican campaigners arc speeding up their activity and showing more optimism in a number of states, but reports during the week from political writers throughout the country, viewed as a whole, continue to give more encouragement to the Democrats. The campaign has three weeks to run, however, and these will be the most Intensive weeks of the contest. The Presidential nominees themselves will, make additional speeches at strategic points, while a veritable army of other speakers in both parties will be appealing to the voters in every section. In this final stage of the campaign observers will keep a close eye on the trend in such states as New York, California, Michigan. Wlscon-sln, and a few others with large blocks of electoral voles, which will be fought for vigorously up to the end of the contest.

Tammany New York Factor. The Tammany strength in New York City, according to some ob servers, will be an important factor in the determination of which column the Empire State, with its 47 electoral votes, will be found In on election day. Reports from the state indicate that with Tammany loyal to Governor Roosevelt for President and Lieutenant Governor Lchmnn for 'governor both of whom were nominated over its opposition a Democratic victory probably will re sult. On the t.her hand, it is pointed out that apathy in the Wigwam will give the Republicans a better chance. According to an observer In New York City, Tammany, on the surfaco at least has shown no sign of not remaining regular, although one.

or two incidents in the selection of state nominees indicated Its real feeling toward the party's Presidential nom'nee. California California, with a block of 22 electoral votes, also is proving a lively battleground, especially since Senator Johnson has come out against his party's nominee openly. There appears to be a belief throughout the country that this state will be in the limelight this year as it was in 1916. President Hoover's utterances on the tariff issue have helped him materially in California. Speaker Garner, Democratic nominee for Vice-President, who carried California against both Governor Roosevelt and former Governor Smith in the primaries early in the year, will speak there before the campaign claws.

The Democrats appear to be still holding an advantage in Illinois, Ohio and Indiana as the situation now stands, but vigorous campaigning will be carried on In these populous areas until the last moment Reports from Ohio say It Is to be expected there will be some recession in the Democratic tide of sev eral weeks ago but an observer there believes signs still poin to a Roosevelt majority.

The state party organization desires the presence in the state of the presidential candidate, and, it was learned Satur day, had advanced negotiations to the point where aides of the Governor at Albany have asked State Chairman David A. Wilson to submit an itinerary for Goverucr Roosevelt in Connecticut by wnich the candidate, in a day's stay here, "could do the most good." 1 Governor Roosevelt is scheduled to speak at Boston on October 31, and the belief here is that if he comes to Connecticut, it will be on the following day.

Any route to take Governor Rooseveit througli the state, it is believed, would bring him to Hartford, and there is the possibility that he might make one of his final campaign address here. Appeal to Tunney. Democratic state leaders still express confidence in their understanding that ex-Governor Smith will come to the aid of the Democratic Party in this state, although they have no definite word of when or where he may speak. The Democrats here expect Major James (Gene) Tunney to spend considerable time campaigning in Connecticut, where he, is a member of the military staff of Governor Cross, a candidate for reelection. Major Tunney is on the staff of speakers attached to National Headquarters, but Governor Cross is ready to make a personal request to him, if necessary, for- time for the Connecticut campaign.

Governor Roosevelt also figured in the news at Republican State Headquarters here Saturday which (Concluded on Page 6, Part IV.) Farmington Seat Sought For Moore Democrats Nominate 'Dark Horse' Candidate to Oppose Mrs. H. K. Smith For Assembly Farmington, Oct. 15.

(Special.) Jesse Moore of Farmington, candidate for the State Senate against Fuller F. Barnes in 1930, was nominated tonight by Farmington Democrats for the House of Representatives. He will run against Mrs. Herbert Knox Smith, nominee of the Republicans. Mr.

Moore, who had not been an active candidate for the nomination, was prevailed upon to take the ticket place. In 1926 he ran against Adrian R. Wadsworth, losing by only a few votes. In 1928 he was candidate for the Democratic nomination in the First District for Congressman. He is associated with the brokerage firm of Goodwin, Beach Riley, Hartford.

S.H. Church Bolts Hoover On Dry Issue Carnegie Institute Head Says G. 0. P.

Success Would Retain All Ills of Prohibition Pittsburgh, Oct. 15. (AP.) Samuel Harden Church, president of the Carnegie Institute and a lifelong Republican, tonight announced he will vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt for President. Characterizing President Hoover as "slt.int.ly dry and Vice President Curtis as "vociferously Church said in a statement that his switch to the Democratic nominee is based on his opposition to national prohi bition.

"I am not making this choice not as a Republican or a Democrat," Church said, "but as a Liberal." Washington warned his countrymen over and over again, in the Fare well Address to disregard thexlaims of party when the interests of the nation were at stake. "For 12 years I have been fight ing for the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. When that movement began the way was long and very lonesome, but now all signs indi cate that a large majority of our people areirrfavor of repeal." Church then outlined his activi ties at both the Republican and Democratic conventions in support of repeal planks and continued: "The Republicans, under direct control of President Hoover, adopted a platform which aims to retain in the Constitution a very dangerous remnant of the prohibition amendment, which will prolong interminably all the ills from which our people now suffer corruption drunkenness, graft and public shame. "That this will be the result of Republican success is Indicated by the fact that the nti-Saloon League and all the political preachers are campaigning for President Hoover, knowing the President to be silently dry and the Vice-President to be vociferously dry. "On the other hand," Church continued, "the Democratic convention declared for immediate and unconditional -epeal, and Governor Roosevelt has committed himself to that course." Roosevelt's Hitherto Un published Private Notes to 'Dear Will' Vivid Papers Maneuvers To Get Campaign Chief Correspondence Terse Comment on Some Is sues Also Current a Present This is the first of a collection of hitherto unpublished personal letters Theodore.

Roosevelt wrote from the White House to William H. Taft in the summer and early 'fall of 1908, counseling and advising Mr. Taft in his victorious campaign against William Jennings Bryan to succeed Colonel Roosevelt as President. These letters, which show the deep friendship existing between the two at that period, have a particularly timely interest now, with the present presidential campaign nearing its climax and complicated by some of the same issues the Roosevelt correspondence discusses. The letters will appear here in daily instalments.

They are published with the approval of Colonel Roosevelt's family. "Oyster Bay, N. "June 29, 19C8. "Dear Will: "The more I think it over more sure I am that while Hitch cock (Frank H. Hitchcock, then first Assistant Postmaster General would be an entirely satisfactory man to run the campaign (as chairman of the Republican Na tional Committee) and ffiflmtely better than any of his and rivals, yet the best man would be Prank Kellogg (then special Assistant United States Attorney General).

It would be a very serious sacrifice for him to take it, but I think he would take it. I believe, how ever, that before you ask him you ought to see Bonaparte (Charles Bonaparte, United States Attorney General) and find out what pro vision could be made for a substitute for him. We owe this to the Government; though as a matter of fact, if, as you intend, you put him In as Attorney General, he would be carrying on the suit (Standard Oil suit) ultimately himself anyhow. As I say, I had an absolutely satis factory talk with him after you left, "It was delightful seeing you. think we made no mistake in Lute Wright, (former Governor General of Philippines, chosen to succeed Mr.

Taft as Secretary of War.) "Give iny love to Mrs. Taft, and believe me, "Faithfully yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." "Oyster Bay, N. "July 2, 1908. "Dear Will: "I think you are absolutely right, I saw Kellogg and Ward, (William L. Ward, New York National Committeeman) and it has been a good thing our speaking of Kellogg, because it has brought Ward around redhot for Hitchcock, and as you have ironed out the Ohio trouble (party dissension) it leaves Hitch cock the one preeminently desirable man.

Down at bottom I have al ways felt that if I were in your place I should take Hitchcock right out of hand, but knowing the way Charley (Taft) and Harry (Taft) felt about it I was very loath to advise this, and my horeeback judgment was that Kellogg, would fill the bill; but for the reasons you give I have come to your conclusion, that it would be unwise from every standpoint, especially from Kellogg's own standpoint. Kel logg came here yesterday to explain what he said he had already ex plained to you, why he could not regard it as anything but unwise for him to take the position. Hitchcock has everything in hand. He has extraordinary executive capacity and he will be able to begin the campaign practically as soon as Bryan is nominated. "As to what you have written about Steinhart (Frank M.

Stein-hart, former Consul General at Havana; and general manager of the Havana Electric Railways) I entirely agree with you. The only change I would have suggested, and this simply from the standpoint ot recognizing how knaves can mislead fools I not have put into the letter that statement that the conferences should be as free from observation as possible Of course the purpose of this is to prevent people from getting the Idea that Steinhart has influence with Magoon, (Charles E. Magoon, Provisional Governor of Cuba) and therefore to prevent the possibility of any trading -on such influence; and every honest intelligent man will realize that this is what he meant, but if this letter is published pending the campaign dishonest men will try to persuade unintelligent men that in accordance with our well known natures we are Drive in Second Period, Gives Intentional Safety New Haven, Oct. 15. (AP.) Led by Bob Chase In a furious third, period attack that set the Ell back on Its heels and finally resulted In a touchdown after a 65-yard drive down the field, an alert Brovn eleven defeated.

Yale, 7 to 2, in a hard fought game before 15,000 fans in Yale Bowl today. The Blue, fighting to achieve its first victory of the season, came back valiantly In the closing minutes of the struggle to march twice within Brown's 5-yard line, once to the one-foot mark, only to see its hopes dashed against a powerful Brown line. Yale's 1932 gridiron scroll now reads: two ties, one defeat. Yale Superior at Half. Brown, after getting much the worse of the going for two quarters, put on a spectacular victory drive in the third, with Chase the spearhead.

The slippery senior, weaving and darting his way through a field of Yale tacklcrs, got away for successive runs of 30, 18 and 11 yards to carry the pigskin down to Yale's one-yard line, whence big Fullback Bill Gilbane piled through the center for the touchdown. Chase added the xtra poTnrwith a perfect placement. Yale's bare two points were achieved in the waning moments of the battle, when, after a brilliant passing game had carried the oval some 50 yards, the Blue offense was stopped finally and definitely on Brown's one-foot line. The ball went over to Brown, and Chase, rather than risk a punt from behlivi his goal line, grounded the ball for a Yale safety. Brown Outrushes Ell.

Democratic Leaders At Manchester 'Our Own Fault' Declares Cross, If Election Is Lost Asks Party Hold Together 1 Lonergan Attacks Senator Bingham Kopplemann Takes Stand for Tariff High Enough to Protect Our. Standard of Living Manchester, Oct. 15. (Special.) "There never has been a time jn the history of Connecticut when the Democratic party came to the people with a state and national ticket that so merited their suffrage as now," Governor Cross, candidate for reelection, told a crowd of 500 people during an outdoor rally of the Democratic party in Center Park here this afternoon.

Demo cratic success in the election he said depended entirely on the Democrats, since enough 1 Republicans would vote with them to insure victory if the Democrats "stick together and vote th straight ticket." "If we do not succeed," he said, "it is our own fault." In a short but effective address Herman P. Kopplemann, candidate for First. District Congressman, declared his stand for a tariff high enough to protect the American standard of living. George Gordon Battle, New York jurist, attacked the Republican prohibition plank as "a deathbed confession," terming it "a deliberate attempt, with the approval of President Hoover, to be all things to all men and hoodwink the people of the country."

More Names Than Places On Machines Town Clerk Gleason Seeks Solution of Serious Problem in Planning for Election With only 30 spaces on the voting machines for names of candidates, and need for 32 spaces, a serious problem confronts Town Clerk John A. Gleason In his duty to place the names of all this year's candidates before the voters at the election November 8. The situation has been brought about because of the fact that this year, for the first time In a national election. Connecticut will vote for eight Presidential electors Instead of seven and also for a Con-grcssman-at-large.

The practice In the past has been to allot a space for each of the Presidential electors on the voting machine. If this should be done this year and names of other candidates arranged according to the usual form, 32 spaces would be required on the machines owned by the city. Seeks Official Opinion. Without precedent to guldo him In the matter. Town Clerk Gleason on Saturday wrote to the Secretary of State for an opinion whether or not he may be allowed to allocate two names of Presidential electors In one space on the voting machines and so Induce the number of required spaces to 28.

Any official opinions as to the advisability or permisabillty of such "doubling up" of Presidential electors on the voting machines could not be obtained Saturday night and there was no Indication of what the political reaction to the request would be. It is passible that similar complications may arise In other Connecticut cities. If Town Clerk Gleason is advised that it is not permissible to follow his contemplated course, the city may be obliged to equip all its polling places with new voting machines at considerable cotit. Justices 'Doubled I The practice of "doubling up" on names of candidates has been followed here for several years, In the case of candidates for justice of the peace, since each party nominates 24 candidates, of which 47 are elected. The authority for this practice is not clearly defined, it Is said, but such action has never been questioned, as far as is known.

The nominations for the November election are: Eight electors of (Concluded on Page 12. Part III.) a search of his desk disclosed a note in Chinese which sld "I am broke. Will try to raise the money. I don't know 'whether I can or not. Perhaps dead or alive.

"Fourth, Because any party which exhibits such a lack of economic understanding upon which to base national policies should not be trusted with the fate of 25,000,000 American families. They should not be trusted to command the battle against the most gigantic economic emergency with which our people have ever been confronted, and to bring that battle to victorious issue in the reestablishment of the functioning of our economic machine." No Democratic Jeremiahs. The President said "our opponents demand to know" why government leaders did not foresee the approach of the "disintegrating forces.

No one can foresee the coming of fear or panic," he asserted. "I did not notice any Democratic Jeremiahs."
