CO HELD AS DOPE UPSET Personal Friend of Coolidge Defeated in Race for Senate Seat LEADERS WAIT RESULTS President IJstens to Election Re turns But Retires Bef6re Hearing Results From Home State NEW YORK, Nov. 3. (AP) Flowly, accumulating returns from yesterday's general elections de veloped so many uncertainties that despite some notable democratic gains, some of the outstanding contests remained in the doubtful column. The democrats not only return ed Governor Smith in New York but picked one senatorial seat in Massachusetts, . defeating Senator Butler, friend of President Cool idge and chairman of the republi can national committee. Senator Wadsworth of New York also ap peared to be in danger. Two seats in the house of representatives, one in Pennsylvania and one in New York, had swung over from ihe republican to the democratic column, but most of the congres tional districts which had been de batable ground still were to re port. On top of their rictories in Massachusetts and New York, th democrats were keeping their sen atorial candidates in the lead in Arizona, Missouri, Maryland, Ok lahoma and Kentucky, although the returns were not decisive. Xll of these states now are rep resented by republicans. In all, the democrats must pick tip nine seats to overturn the pres ent republican majority in the senate. In Indiana, stirred in the clos ing days of the campaign by charges of a corrupt republican Ku Klnx Klan combination, Sena tors Watson and Robinson, both republicans, w-ere leading on par tial returns, but by comparative ly narrow margins. Illinois and Pennsylvania, ou which the senate's "slush fund" committee concentrated its atten tion, showed widely differing re turns. Representative William S.

(AP -President and Mrs. Coolidge re turned to the White House from Northampton shortly before 10 o'clock tonight after voting In the Massachusetts election. NORTHAMPTON, Mass., Nor. 2 (AP) President and Mrs. Coolidge today paid a visit of three hours in their home city and cast their votes to emphasize the appeal that the chief executive had made to all voters to go to the polls today. A steady rain which began shortly before their entry at 9 o'clock on the special train from Washington, made the morning uncomfortable, but failed to cloud the smiles of scores of old friends or dim the cheers of thousands who attended their every move ment about the city. Giving pointed illustration to his declaration of the first duty of every citizen, the president and Mrs. Coolidge went straight from the train to the voting place in Memorial hall, a short distance up Main street. "Calvin Coolidge" and "Mrs. Grace Coolidge," Herman Hocke- meler. inspector of voting, told the tellers as he handed out the ballots. They entered the booths where already stood other citizens, for the moment on a parity. Mrs. Coolidge finished marking her ballot first and turned back with a smile. The president soon joined her and the ballots Were passed through the machine as cameras clicked and the crowded hall gave attention.

(AP) Fort Worth today lost the murder trial of its leading funda mentalist pastor. Judge George Hosey, of criminal district court, after hearing about 20 witnesses testify that the Rer. J. Frank Nor rfs-TOntd not obttta fair and Im partial trial on the indictment charging him with the murder of Dexter Elliott Chipps, lumberman, decided to grant the pastor a change of venue. He selected Aus tin, the Texas capital, for the trial city. j Chipps was shot to death in the study of the First Baptist church last summer. Some of the witnesses said they had heard the belief expressed that Norris' neck should be broken and that he should be shot. The mayor of Fort Worth, H. C. Meacham, testified he had hired special prosecutors at a $15,000 fee to prosecute Norris for killing his friend. Chipps. No evidence was heard on Nor ris' allegation that "a combina tion," of politics and religion, of the city administration and Roman Catholics, had been created to prosecute him, all of the testimony concerning the question of alleged widespread fixed opinions in the case. The judge announced at the afternoon recess that the defense had established its case on the change of venue .and that he did not wish to hear any more erl dence on the questions. The date of the trial at Austin is not yet known, as the case must be set for the January term. The next step is to transfer the papers to the Austin court and certify that the change of venue has been placed in that county.
