Sinclair, democratic candi
date for governor of California,
eald tonight in a radio broadcast
that President Roosevelt had told
him that lie was going to "broad
cast to the nation on the princi
ple of production for use."
The democratic candidate re
fused to concede that he had
been defeated by acting Got
Frank F. Merriam and added
that he was going ahead with his
plan of "production for use."
In reference to a talk he had
with the president at Hyde Park.
N. Y., shortly after he won the
democratic nomination for gov
ernor, Sinclair said:
"The campaign is now over,
aqd I violate no confidence in
telling the people of California
that President Roosevelt told me
that' he was going to broadcast
to the nation cn the principle of
tor use.
, "I am scing to wait patiently
day by day for him to fulfill his
promise."
- Sinclair charged that "thous
ands of votes were stolen today
that millions were spent for
lies and all kinds of villificatlon,
slander, and so forth."
EXPLOSION MOID
VE8SEL IS UINTED
WASHINGTON. Nov. 6.- (&) -The
possibility that an explosion
of contraband munitions aboard
the Morro Castle caused the fire
which swept the liner and result
ed in the death of 134 persons is
mentioned in the report Dicker
aon N. Hoover has made on the
tragedy.
Hoover, assistant director of
navigation and steamboat inspec
tion, said today his report also
reviewed other possible causes of
the blase, among them incendiar
ism, spontaneous combustion and
defective electric wiring.
His summary is in the hands of
Secretary, Roper. A copy also
has been delivered to Martin Con
boy, federal district attorney in
New York, for study in connection
with possible criminal proceed
ings. "I am cot undertaking to state
how. the fire started," Hoover
aaid'today. "I don't know how it
started, Our Job is to analyze all
possible! causes and let others
form the conclusions."
Testimony during the senate
munitions inquiry brought out
that It might be a comparatively
easy matter to ship munltons on
a passenger liner since the cus
toms eervice lacks facilities for
checking outbound cargoes.
Proposals that ammunition be
smuggled to Latin-American
countries aboard crack passenger
boats like the Moito Castle, were
brought out during the hearing,
although no specific instances
where this was done were revealed.

( Wednesday) -(P)-The republican
domination in Connecticut, weak
ened during the past four years,
appeared badly shattered as unof
ficial election returns early today
eive democrats victories in most
of the major contests.
The unprecedented democratic
sweep sent to the United States
senate Representative Francis T.
Malony, ardent supporter of Pre
sident Roosevelt in the last con
gress, in place of Senator Fred
eric C. Walcott, republican.
For the first time in the hls
torv of the major parties, demo
crats gained their third succes
sive victory in the gubernatorial
race, the honor going again to
Governor Wilbur L. Cross, who
was elected chief executive four
years ago shortly after he retired
as dean of the Yale graduate
school.
(Continued front pas 1)
two-year term alderman from the
fifth ward, complete returns from
3 of the 4 precincts in that ward
indicated. The race was close at
times but 1 a. m. reports gave
Goodman 547 and W. G. Krueger
333.
Fred A. Williams next January
will return to the council position
from which he resigned in 1925,
the count shows. He surprised
even some of his own supporters
when he scored sharp gains In
territory that in the May election
went heavily for Dr. Estill L.
Brunk. Yesterday Williams re
ceived 74 8 to Dr. Brunk's 613
votes in the four precincts com
prising the sixth ward.
After serving two years as sixth
ward alderman in 1924 and 1925,
Williams resigned to accept the
appointment as city attorney. He
held the latter office through
1929. January 1 he will succeed
Alderman Watson Townsend,
ttate highway department em
ploye who by department rules
was not permitted to seek reelec
tion. Goodman will succeed Alder
man F. L. Wilkinson, who the
past two years has held the posi
tion, though inactive, as a hold
over since C. E. Albin elected in
1932, moved from the city before
taking office.
The setup on the city council
for next year is now as follows:
First ward H. H. Vandevort,
holdover, and E. B. Perrine, elect
ed last May.
Second ward Walter Fuhrer,
holdover, and Cuyler Van Patten,
elected last May.
Third ward E. A. Daue, hold
