Nov. 6. The liner Ariouani went to the rescue today of the Blue Funnel line freighter Phemiui, in distress as the result of hurricane damage 150 miles off Nicaragua, but was unable to locate her.

When the Phemius called for help she gave her position as latitude 14.12 north, longitude 70.19 west. The Ariguani went to that locality and reported by radio she would stand by during the night despite heavy seas. The barometer was registering 29.75. Blowing northwestward toward the Yucatan channel, an erratic tropical hurricane angled across the Car'bbean last night toward the Gulf of Mexico, leaving battered shipping in its wake. A late visitor from the tropics, the storm was reported by the weather bnreuu to be central about 100 miles northeast of Cape Gracias a Dios, Nicaragua, moving along at about 10 miles an hour, and due near Swan island this morning.

At sea, the liner Ariguani steamed to the assistance of the freighter Phemius, struck by the hurricane approximately ISO miles east of Cape Gracias a Dios, her funnel swept off and her holds filling with water.

I The hurricane, roaring out of the I Caribbean about three weeks be hind the usual storm season, was by its lateness unusual, but not unprecedented. The most unusual characteristic of the present hurrirane, weather bureau observers said, was the shifting line of its progress from a start somewhere In the neighborhood of the Virgin islands. Thirteen Lost As TrawJer Wrecked It moved first southward and westward, apparently lashing with some damage at Santa Maria, Colombia, then swept on a northerly course and again switched at sea to head west-northwest.

A White House aide hastily summoned a messenger and paced nervously up and down the platform until the boy returned with the Bible a Gideon hotel edition under his arm.

Telegraph wires dozens of them were being strung today. Busy electricians were erecting a battery of floodlights that will cast their white glare jpon the mansion during all the night hours that the President is In his home. The quiet of the campus, broken pnly when festive students set fire to the hay stacks that have earned Stanford a local title of "the farm," or when pajama-clad freshmen run whooping through the halls of the girls' dormitory on the night of the traditional "pajamarino," was shat tered today by the elaborate prep arations for the President's return home.

Linemen in overalls crawled back and forth over the tiled roof of the Hoover home' and among the potted1 plants of the upper gardens. Elab orate communications systems were installed. Facilities were arranged for newspaperman in the Gregory cottage, adjoining the President's home.

While his train rolled across the flat lands of Nebraska today, bound for a stop tonight at Denver and for major addresses tomorrow at Salt Lake City and Elko, the President called newspapermen to his private car. He announced to, them the receipt of a telegram from Republican leaders in New England, reporting that statisticians of the First National bank of Boston had computed the Indices of major industries there to show a gain of nine per cent in September over August, after allowing for seasonal changes.

Candidates for seats In the Senate and House have about closed Intense party drives for control of the seventy-third Congress. Democrats claim substantial majorities in both branches after next March. Republicans generally maintain they will hold their own in Tuesday's elections. There are 122 candidates in all for the 34 of the 96 Senate seats to be filled. There are 1,142 aspirants to the 432 House seats which are at stake.

Bourbons Reduced Republican Seats The Senate political classification now show: Republicans 47, Democrats 47, Farmer-Labor 1, vacancies 1 (formerly filled by a Republican). The House stands: Democrats 217, Republicans 209, Farmer-Labor 1, vacancies 8 (four formerly filled by Republicans and four by Democrats).

6. President Hoover took cognizance of the tariff question and its relationship to Philippine independence which has been a prime campaign issue In Colorado and Issued a statement relative to the Republican attitude when he passed through Denver tonight. The statement follows: "My attention has been called to the misrepresentation by Democratic agencies upon the question of the restriction of Philippine sugar. The Democratic Hawes-Hayes bill provides for a probation for Philippine independence varying from nine to 17 years during which time the quota of sugar which can be imported free is to be increased from the present average of about 600,000 tons to 850,000 tons. At the end of that period1 a catastrophe will come to the Philippine people through the total break of their duty free trade relations with us.

"The Republican proposal is of a gradually modified relationship with the Philippines. We say that they cannot In their own interest attain political independence until they have secured economic independence. We therefore say that their amount of duty free sugar must not be increased at all, but on the contrary must start at 600,000 tons and be reduced every year In order to gradually establish their economic Independence. That is in the Interest of both the' Philippines and the American farmer." Tubbs Workers in Action for Wages (By United Press) LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6.
