Attitude of entrants to date is as follows: Republican rty to win overwhelmingly; Supervisor J. Russel Sprague, epublican, and Rayford W. Alley, Democrat, to lead their respective tickets in the number of votes. The predictors are settling down to some real pre- dicting now. Figures coming in show evidence of serious thought and an awareness of the political situation in Nassau county. Guessers meanwhile are sending in their estimates of the party plurality and individual vote totals, and the figures are in many cases almost identical. TO MID-TERM PARLEY PLAN Approval Held - Likely; Landon Seen Joining HoovLeL View WASHINGTON, Oct. 27-®- Two developments caused persons in touch with the na~ tional committee to predict toda that it will sponsor a mid-term party convention early in 1938: 1. Former President Hoover devoted much of his speech in Boston last night to arguments in support of sucka confer- drove the motorcycle. Captain Vincent Chi- mentl, in command of first precinct said their records showed no injury to Tirg.

To- day's figures run from 15,000. to 180,000, with several predictions in both the 20,000 and 40,000 col- umns. Supervisor Sprague was chosen by #5 per cent. of predictors to- day. So was Rayford W. Alley, Democrat, as leaders of their re- spective tickets. There seems to be little doubt but that each will lead his own ticket, Sprague's backers say he will garner from 40,000 to 147,000-Votes, and predictions on Alley range from 22,000 to 75,000 votes. Here's an official prediction that will not count in our contest but which ought to carry some weight publican presidential nominee, conferred yesterday with Na- tional Chairman John Hamil- ton over methods of selecting delegates if a convention is approved by the committee at a special meeting November 5. ° Landon Issues Statement There have been reports that Landon was not enthusiastic over the convention idea, Nevertheless the fact that he and Hamilton dis- cussed such details as delegates led many followers of the situs- tion to assume he believes a na- tional meeting will be: held. “IL-118m issued a statement say- g: \We are particularly concerned that if the. national. committee should decide. to hold a -conven- ence, which he said should Sprague The Favorite the Nazsau county police highway patrol, huh-uxmmm 2 sprained gimpgncipgflm When the contest started, Re- a sp - R :- so hot on the trail of this motorcycle he left knee.: William Tirgg of East Rockaway 2, Alf M.
