D. Roosevelt started out with a two to one lead over Presidpnt Hoover as sciittered returns from election began to come in today. Reports from 91 of the precincts as tabulated by the Associated Press showed: Roosevelt Hoover 6,611.

By the Associated Press voters conferred on Franklin D. Roosevelt so tremen- Idous a victory that it not only gave the Democratic party unshakable control of congress, but very nearly cleared the states of Republican governors. In the hands of Republicans it I left a scant handful of New England and eastern states and upon governor it conferred an electoral vote that, from all indications today, will surpass the of 444 established when Hoover was elevated to the highest office four ago. President Hoover was leading only six states of the carrying the handful of 59 electoral votes, and even in some of these the margin was very small. Gov.

Roosevelt had won or was leading Iby substantial majorities in states 472 electoral votes. As the popular vote mounted to Idizzy heights, heading for looo or more, the returns from con- Igressional races indicated that the iDemocrats w'ould hold the next Isenate by a majority of twenty at clinching their mas- Itery of the house with a possible Itwo-thirds of the 435 membership. Only one Democratic senate seat in anywhere Jnear danger, and there Senator I McGill had a slight lead over Ben Paulen, Republican. Four Republican senators were Ire-elected. Another, Nye, of North Dakota, was leading.

These casualty estimates were reported to the department of communications from the storm area.

National police in Camajuani reported to the secretary of the interior that they were providing first aid but that they had been unable to make an official estimate of the dead. Camajuani is a city of 23,000 about 15 miles northeast of Santa Clara city. Meanwhile increasingly high winds were sweeping the province of Camaguey. The national observatory estimated that the center of uie storm was over that province, with high winds of hurricane force. Shipping from the eastern ports was suspended.

From the town of Nuevitas in Camakuey came reports of an 83- mile wind, but no estimates of the damage. High winds were reported also in Santiago. The storm was moving at about 15 miles an hour approximately north across the island. If its direction does not change it should strike the Bahamas sometime tonight, then possibly move on through a low pressure area between Jacksonville and Charleston. In llavan the day was gray and gusty.

NAMED FOR TWO PRESIDENTS Altoona, Tyler Stiffler, born on election day in 1840, and named for the successful candidates for president and vice president that year, celebrated his 92d birthday by keeping open house. He was a cavalryman in the civil war and served as General orderly as the Union leader rode out to meet General Johnstone in April, 1865, to terms for surrender. WOMEN LIKELY TO HAVE PLACE IN NEW CABINET Democratic Campaign Pledge Indicates Woman May Have Place In Roosevelt Cabinet; Frances Perkins, Ruth Bryan Owen and Mrs. Ross Mentioned RUTH PRATT LOSES Washington, Nov. One senatorship held, one governorship gained, and a few seats secure in the House, today were election winnings slight enough to focus feminioe hope on the possibility of a woman in the cabinet.

One of the outstanding arguments that Democratic women campaigners used against Hoover was that he had not rewarded his 1928 with appointive posts. Their publications prophesied that a woman in the cabinet would be part of the promised by Franklin Roosevelt. With election an avalanche in which women obviously played a considerable part, the chance for a women at the cabinet table became paramouot. Comment centered on Frances Perkins, New York woman who has served Roosevelt on his state portfolio. Comment points to her as possible secretary of labor.

Mentioned also, but in connection with other posts, have been representative Ruth Bryan Owen, of Florida and Nellie Tayloe Ross, former Wyoming governor. The women victors in the great upheaval that was election, were, for the most part, veterans of many campaigns. True, Hattie Caraway won her six year seat in the senate on a one-year record there, but she had campaign-canny Huey help in the hustings. Miriam A. Ferguson, also bolstered by practical masculine sagacity, that of her husband Jim, won her way back imto the Texas chair.

First feminine triumph announced for the House of Representatives in this was that of Representative Mary T. Norton, of New new thirteenth district, the first woman Democrat ever to sit in the House. She was four times elected from the old New Jersey twelfth. First feminine defeat conceded in that body w'as that of Republican Representative Ruth Baker Pratt, representing rich mid-town New York. She lost to Tammany- ite Theodore A.

Peyaer, Washington, Nov. strength in the new congress apparently was mounting today, aided by huge pluralities accorded the national Democratic ticket committed both to repeal of constitutional prohibition and nrcriifica- tion of the Volstead Act. Anti-prohibition measures were on the lorag end of referendum votes in 11 states. On the basis of pre-election classifications by anti-prohibition organizations (the drys having made no parallel canvass), at least 47 senators of the seventy- third congress will support either repeal or submission of the eighteenth amendment. To obtain this total, wet organizations list 20 Democratic senators and one Republican, elected on returns coming in today, as favoring repeal.

One new senator in each party was recorded ki favor of submission, while two Democrats supported prohibition. These figures were added to a wet-group classification of hold- oyer senators, which counts 10 Democrats and four Republicans for repeal, and four Democrats and six Republicans for submission. The view's of 31 hold-over and three new-elected senators were listed as The wet organization designation I of house members-elect gave 159 Democrats and 44 Republicans for repeal; 11 Democrats and 10 Republicans for submission; 11 Democrats and 17 Republicans for prohibition and 41 Democrats In both the senate and house a two-thirds majority is required for i action on constitutional amend- ments. I Connecticut voted seven to one to petition congress to submit a repeal amendment to the states'. By a two to one margin, Michigan voters favored eliminating a Iwne dry clause from the state constitution and setting up a liquor control commission.

Overwhelmingly, Louisiana voted for submission of repeal of its enforcement act and also to ask congress to call a constitutional convention to propose repeal or revision of the eighteenth amendment. New Jersey ballots piled up a ten to one lead for repeal of the state enforcement law. Wyoming voters apparently were two to one in favor of repealing the eighteenth amendment. A measure for repealing the prohibition clause in North constitution was receiving a slight majority on early returns. Most Arizona voters seemed to want repeal of the prohibition law, while majority votes were being counted for anti-proiii- bition proposals In California, Washington, Oregon and Colorado.

Pennsylvania, stronghold of Republicanism since the Civil War, held steadfastly to the Hoover cause today in the face of the heaviest Democratic vote in its history.

Returns from tnree-fourths of the 8199 districts gave President Hoover 1,277,454 votes, a lead of 165,634 over Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose 1,111,820 surpassed even the record- breaking total polled by Alfred E. Smith ki his losing battle in 1928. Pennsylvania was one of six states to remain in the Hoover column, but it had been compelled to withstand an onslaught that apparently bad given Governor Roosevelt majorities in at least twenty of the 67 counties and had given the Democrats 11 of the Keystone 34 seats in the national House of Representatives.
