Nor. George Paclo, Sing Sing prisoner, attended the funeral of bis mother to-day handcuffed to a keeper. The funeral was in Harlem.

Martin's on-Bridge street and Fulton was always an attractive store. Tho inducements to shoppers there were always of the intensive drawing land. i But the Greater Martin's of Bridge, Fulton and Duffield streets will multiply these inducements with quantity, quality and attractiveness of surroundings.

For the new, store of Martin's, of which Hyman.

Renewed efforts are being made to prevent the continued use of the Henderson Bowl Arena tor prise fight. A' meeting of the CltUens' Committee Opposed to Henderson's Bowl wae held Friday night at the Union League Club, in Kenmore place, at which resolutions were adopted to use all proper and legal means to end the use of the arena for prise fights.

A sub-committee of three was appointed to seek aid of churches, civic organisations and property owners and residents in eMorta to rid the neighborhood of thijjIlBht arena. Want Permits Revoked. Request will likewise be made to the Board of Standards and Appeals and to the State Boxing Commission for the revocation of the permits now held by Henderson's BowL A resolution unanimously adopted declares that part of Brooklyn known as Flatbush is prominently community of homes, chosen by Its residents by reason of their desire to live with their families In -wholesome surroundings of a residential character, and that the intrusion of Henderson's Bowl Into thle community has disturbed its peace and Impaired its residential character, to the great detriment of its cltisens. The building gone law of the City of New' York, continues the resolution, was adopted "for the promotion of the public health, safety, fom-fort, conveniences and general welfare" of cltisens and residents of this city, and provides for restricting the use of property to the normal and proper use of the locality in which the property is located, and for such purpose recognises and establishes the right of residential communities within the City of New York to protection from encroachment by any enterprise destructive of the welfare of such community. Says Bouta Detrimental.

The Cltisens' Committee Opposed to Henderson's Bowl, concludes the resolution, Is unalterably opposed to the continuation of Henderson's Bowl as a fight arena, and intends to use every proper and legal means to terminate the use now made by Henderson's Bowl and Its promoters of the property upon which it is located, as a fight arena, for holding boxing bouts and exhibitions, such uw. in the -opinion of the committee ''being foreign to the residential character of Flatbush and detrimental to the Interests of the community.

"we expect to win in this county tnree Members or Congress, possibly four; three State Senators, possibly tour, ana eight or nine Members of Assembly." i McCooey's prediction. 'Deputy Chief McCooey, on the other hand, predicted victory for the Demo cratic national and State tickets, basing his predictions upon "the magnificent receptions" accorded the candidates of his party when they ap peared in Brooklyn. The voters of his party, he said, would re-elect all the present Democratio Congressmen, the present State Senators and an Assemblvman from each of tha'tweMl1 ty-threa districts In Brooklyn. In his pre-election statement, which he gave to the publto last night, Mr.

McCooey said: "As a result of the vigorous campaign waged by the Democratic can didates and the magnificent recep tions accorded them at the various gatherings held within the past threo weeks, I am firmly of the opinion that the electorate of this county will roll up a splendid majority for the natmnal and State tickets. "It is my conviction that we shall re-elect all ot the present membeis of Congress, In addition to Andrew L. Bomers, the candidate In the Sixth Congressional District; all the State Senators, and the twenty-three mem bers of the Assembly. I am firmly convinced that the successful and efficient' administration ot- Got.

Bernard Vause will be retained on the County bench. The splendid rec ord of these officials commend them highly to the voters and assure their election," In the Twelfth. Local Republican and Democratic Assembly District leaders are wide apart In their views.

While the Demoagutlo leaders declare they will carry ttelr districts, from John W. Davis down, their predictions do not seem to be as positive as their rival leaders. Internal Revenue Collector John, T. Rafferty, Republican leader of the Twelfth Assembly District, declared he believed that President Coolldge and CoL Roosevelt would carry his district 'I have an he said, "that President Coolldge will carry the Twelfth Assembly District by be tween 5,500 and I also have an idea that CoL Roosevelt will carry It by at least Senator Simpson will carry It by. about 1,200.

I think we will elect our Alderman by and our Assemblyman by about 1,000. "Last year we lost our district by 1,800, but the tables will be turned this year. We expect to win all along the line. "We have In our district down In the Borough Park section two districts that are Socialistic. These two districts, I believe, will be carried by La Follette." I Ex-United States Senator wllHam M.

Calder backed up Leader Rafferty, but refused to quote any Individual figures, saying, "Mr. Rafferty knows more about that -than I do." 'It Is my opinion," he said, "that Kings County will give President Coolldge at least 150,000 votes more than Davis. The State will be car ried by Coolldge by 1,000,000 plurality. "Gov. Smith win make a good run In Brooklyn, but his plurality of two years ago will be considerably reduced.

We will elect In Brooklyn at least four new Representattlves In Congress and four new State Senators. "In my opinion Judge Law and Benjamin T. Hock will be elected." Sets Victory la Seventh. Deputy County Clerk William J. Heffernan, Democratic leader of the Seventh Assembly District, prophe sied that John W.

Davis, Democratio Presidential candidate, and the whole Democratio ticket would win In Brooklyn. "Davis will carry our district" he "Gov. Smith will win by at least 9,000 votes. Our Congres sional candidate will win bv 20.000- ana me same will be true ot our Senatorial candidate. "We fell oft about 1.000 In our registration, but we had this checked up and find it was because ot removals from the district.

"Senator La Follette will probably get a fair vote; I would not be surprised If he polled 6,000." Supt. of Sewers James J. Browne, Democratic Jeader of the First Assembly District, insisted that Gov. Smith would poll 12,000 out Ot the possible In his district. "The First Assembly Dlstrlot will go overwhelmingly for Gov.

Smith. He polled 10,000 votes two years ago as against 4,800 for Miller. This year I look for him to get about 12,000 out ot tha possible votes the district," he declared. "Mr. Davis will carry the district over President Coolldge.

I think the district will return a big majority for Flynn for 8enator and Little ought to run close with the Democratio candidate for Congress." John Feitner, Republican leader the Seventh Assembly District, said: "I rarely make predictions. How-aver, I think Smith's vote of two-years ago will be reduced by 6,000 easily. He polled 10,814 as against for Miller in the district two years ago." Other district predictions were along the same line, varying, however, according to the political beliefs the leaden. The Democratio leaders, without exception, declared that their Presidential candidate would win, but some of them appeared to have their fingers crossed while they talked. The Republican leaders, on the other hand, were more than optimistic over the President's chances.

Princeton 1924 Styles Revert to Corduroys of Twenty-five Years Ago PRINCETON. N. Nov. I With the passing of a quarter of a century, Princeton campus styles have reverted to corduroy trousers. Alumni of the "Golden Ninettes" will be astonished to find on returning to their Alma Mater that the corduroys popular In their day have been copied In 1924.

The cooperative store of the university, after a record-brer Icing sale of 600 pair, has entirely sold out Its stock, but a promise has been made to have a neW supply within a few days.

Leo Doherty. Republican candidate for State Senator in the Sixth Senate District, who paid his respects to Democratic rival In speeches last night.

Leo V. Doherty Declares State Senator Ignored Important Measures. Leo V. Doherty, Republican candidate for State Senator In the Sixth Senate District, again scored on James A. Biggins, his Democratio rival.

In speeches last night, "In Investigating the record or Mr. Hlgglns, I find that when Senator Dunnla-an's bill to extend the Emer- gency Rent laws was passed, on Feb. 6, Senator Hlgglns was not recorded. Where was he? 'On Jan. 14.

when the bill was passed providing that repairs to real nronertv made by tenants may oe used as an offset to an action for rent, Senator Hlgglns was not recorded. Where was he? 'These bills were the most im portant bills that were presented to the Legislature on behalf of all the people of this district Can Mr. Hlgglns claim to be a good representative when he neglects or disregards me Interests of his constituents on such Important matters "Mr. Hlgglns la ndt recorded on many other Important bills, such as the bill to abolish the commission to investigate the West Side surface railways. This was Hlgglns' own bill, also an Important bill to permit World War veterans to certain preferences In civil service examinations, also the bill to extend the time for the'Home Rule Commission to report.

"All of these matters were ot the most vital Importance to'all the people of our district. Was Mr, Hlgglns really competent when ha did not raise his voice in behalf of these Important matter? "Mr. Hlgzlns seems to believe that he Is the only real statesman who has ever represented this Senate district and picture a very dark future indeed unless he is continued tor life', bnt I find on my Investigation of his record that he voted against the bill to regulate the sale of obscene literature, also against the bill to provide for the registration of doctors with the secretary of the Board of Medical Examiners. If Mr. Hlgglns was as able as he would like to have you believe, he must have known the benefit derived from these laws.

Will Mr. Hlgglns explain why he opposed them? i "I notice that Mr. Hlgglns voted against the Direct Primary bill a bill tor the direct election of delegates to national party conventions and restoring the dlreet primary for all State and judicial offices. Mr. Hlgglns knows that the people of our district favor direct primaries and also that the Democratic Btate platform specifically -declared for district primaries.

How does Mr. Hlgglns explain this deliberate betrayal or the Interests of our people and his disregard of the plain promise of the Democratic party?

The estimated electoral vote on the eve of election is as follows: Coolldge 812 Davis ,171 La Follette 46 Total 631 Summed up, the Republican lead. era see certain victory for President Coolldge so far as the national fight la concerned.

Added to then other reasons, herewith summar-lzed, they point to Wall Street, where the betting last night was i to 1 In favor of helr candidate. They also pointed to the several big straw polls that have been taken throughout the campaign, whloh showed Coolldge far ahead of both his opponents, Davis and La Follette. The Democratio Leaders, to strengthen their claims of victory. brought forward, last night, en dorsements of several organizations within the American Federation of Labor In New York City, which pre viously had endorsed Senator Rob ert M. La Follette, Independent-Progressiva candidate They declared that the Wall Street betting has been "faked" and that there Is little Coolldge, money In sight 'When any can be obtained, they claim, It must be take at much lower odds than la reported.

The straw polls that have been conduct ed, they say, "were conducted by partisan Republicans," and were not fair barometers. They declared that, all signs to the contrary," the vote on Tuesday "will surprise tha nation." The La Follette Independent lead-a sought to minimise the claims of both the Republican and Democratio leaders. "Political Revolution." Arthur Garfield Hays, tSate chair man of the La Follette movement, and other La Follette leaders, said they see sure signs ot "a political revolution" which would throw the election Into Congress, If It did noKlect their candidate. The switch of the New York State labor organizations from their candidate, they declared, was mere, "a Tammany of labor leaders who hold office under the Democratio city and State admin 1st ratlona They contend that the workers who make up these organizations will themselves vote for La Follette, despite the action of these leaders. Alfred J.

Boulton and William To bias Butler, of the La- Follette movement In Brooklyn, backed up these sentiments last night but refused to venture any forecast as to the vote they ex-. pected their candidate would get In Kings County. Experts In reviewing the chances of the competitors for the Supreme Court bench In the Second Judicial District seemed to agree that Munlcl-nal Court Justice Charles B. Law' would win. out Borough PresU dent Edward Rlegelmann.

Outside of Leader McCooey and died-in-the-wool organization Democrats, the consensus was that Law's' Judicial training and experience will win out In the minds of the voters over the training and experience of the Borough President gained In public office. Benjamin T. Hock, Republican candidate for County Court Judge, It was also said has an excellent chance to replace County Judge W. Bernard Vause.

-i That opinion, it was reported, was that the Mayor will completely desert the "subway straphangers" who have pinned their faith on "his promises of city-owned motor buses. More daring guessers In the group of prognostlcators were credited with going a step farther In their prophecies, To them was attributed a hint that the Mayor might even "go over to the other camp." The transition, according to the report, would come In the form of approval of a franchise for a certain big bus corporation; According to the rumor this would be the same corporation whose buses Hylan recently described as The Board of Estimate calendar describes to-morrow's meeting as being for the purpose of deciding whether the municipal ownership plan ahall be retained, or whether short-term recapturable franchises shall be granted to private companies.
