Hans were maae to oxnumc tne Out By Angora Government- oplo since they took over tho civil government there on Saturday still causes a great deal ot anxiety in Lon don. The feeling of uneasiness has been Intensified by the scarcity of news, from Constantinople In the last 36 hours. All of the London newspapers treat the situation seriously and promin ently. Deep suspicion of tho aims of lite Turkish nationalists is almost unanimous among the papers and all of them seem worried about the safe ty of the non-Turkish population at the sublime porte. A Tiirss dis patch from Constantinople dated Monday but not timed, said the sit nation had become most critical and that the Angora government appar ently was determined to take ad vantage of the contused political sit uation in Great Britain and by a se ries of accomplished facts carry out the wholo nationalist program de spite checks put upon them, by the Mudania convention. Turk Kdltor Condemned CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 7. (By the Associated Press.) Ali Kemai .Bey, editor of tho Constantlpople na tionalist newspaper Saban, has been arrested and condemned to death by the Turkish authorities here, the al lies have been informed. The allied representatives gave Rufet Pasha, the new civil governor of the city 24 hours to release the editor.' Rafet replied he waB unaware of the arrest but would Investigate. It was reported here today mat tne editor has been hanged at Ismid af ter a crowd had half lynched him, but this was not confirmed officially. The allied commissioners feel that if the arrest is allowed to stand it would be likely to lead to the impris onment of hundreds of other resi dents of the city, Turks, Greeks and Armenians, who enjoy the confidence and respect of the allies. Christians in Danger The allied action with regard to Ali Kemal Bey had been preceded by appeals from hundreds of Turks to the British authorities here to accord them safe conduct so that they might join in the great exodus of Greeks and Armenians which has been in progress recently since the panic set in over the possibility of the nation alists taking control In Constantin ople and sending in their troops. The arrest and condemnation ot the ed itor gave the signal for all the re maining prominent Turks to begin to seek cover. All day yesterday the allied high commissioners held frequent confer ences over the threatened wholesale Invasion of the Kemalists and t::o menace of ant-Christian uurlsing. The Birtlsh armed .patrols about tho city meanwhile exercised the greatest V'dlance in protecting life and prop erty. (Continued on page eight) Joseph Mitkrewicz, former mates of the woman.

President Harding Votes WASHINGTON,- Nov. 7. Klectlons ovor tho country today had their re flex In Washington. In every govern ment department there were many vacant places, several members of the cabinet and many under officials and employes having gone home to vote. The exodus this year, however, was not as great as usual as an increasing number voted by mall. Having registered his choices In this manner, President Harding was at his office at the regular hour. He had all the latest forecasts of his party lieu tenants and us the day wore on re ceived reports from the actual ballot ing. Tonight he was to get the results in his study as rapidly as they could be received at the executive offices over nn Associated Press wire and re layed to him over the telephone by Secretary Christian. Four members of the president s cabinet remained In Washington. Of these Secretaries Hughes, Weeks and Wallace voted by mall. ' Attorney Gen eral Daugherty also voted by mall but spent toduy in Baltimore with Mrs. Daugherty, who Is recuperating there after an operation. Three members of the cabinet will not vote. Secretary Mellon, It was stated, was prevented from registering by pressure of public business. Secre tary Hoover now on his way west to a meeting of the Colorado river commis sion at Santa Fe, N. M., Is unable to reach his home state of California In time for tho election while Secretary Davis is still in the far west where be has been campaigning. While there was no accurate Infor mation as to Just how many votes were cast toduy, it was estimated that there are upwards of 50,000 potential ATTY. GEN'L. CLAIMS PLOT TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE IN CASE OF MURDERED RECTOR NEW 'BRUNSWICK, N. J., Nov. 7. Investigation of reports of a plot to obstruct Justice In the Hall-Mills murder case and to protect tho mur derers was under way today. Spe cial Deputy Attorney General Wilbur A. Mott, who expects to seek the In dictment of a "woman In grey," the latter part of tho week on tho strength of tho story of Mrs. Jane Gibson, an cye-wltnoss, Is said to GUN PLAY ELECTION AS ISSUE voters in the District of Columbia, the number having been swelled since the enactment by 24 states of laws permlt- ting legal residents absent to vote by mall. Both of the major parties maintain organizations here to get out the votes of those 400,000-odd residents who hnve that right. Of the estimated 00,000 potential voters, It Is figured that about 20 per cent do not "bother" to cast ballots nnd that an equal num ber go to their homes. The work of getting the others to vote by mall wherever possible is the tusk which occupies the local political organiza tions. Women Taking Great Interest . Party officials charged with this work declared that the women take far more Interest in sending their vole home by mall than do the men. They offer no explanation, but they do go so fur as to say that., the women, "show far more Intelligence" in pre paring their ballots and picking thoir candidates. Since the voting by mall laws, of each state having such a statute are vastly different In terms, mall voting presents a somewhat complex subject. No person In the District of Colum bia who has not had actual legal resi dence hi a state or whose parents had not or has lost such legal residence Is entitled to voto. The absentee voter law ot South Da kota requires that the voter mark his ballot in a booth or room similac to booths In polling places where there nro no witnesses. Kansas furnishes a special ballot blank, known as the federal state (or county) ballot. Mary land does not allow anyone not an actual resident to vote by mall. The voting by mail Idea Is said to have originated In Kentucky. At any rate this was the first state to permit it, but now the supreme court of that state has held the law to be In conflict with the stato constitution, so that Kentucklans away from home who de sired to vote today had to return there In order to do so. Heavy Vote California SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7. Unset tled weather conditions prevailed In many parts of the far west early todav but a heavy vote was cast for the vari ous federal and state candidates, con stitutional amendments and measures In the states west of the Rockies.

Gubernatorial campaigns have been waged In most of the states though the governors of Arizona and Oregon are the only ones asking re-election. The usual execu tive, legislative and judicial state of fices will be filled throughout the ter ritory. On the eve of election leaders ot tho (Continued on cage eight) ' feel that the Inquiry has beon ham pered by the refusal of some of the witnesses to tell all they knew. Oth ers, it is said, have placed obsta cles in the way of the Investigators and Mr. Mott Intends to prosecute them on charges of being accessories after the tact, in the event he finds evidence supporting the report. J Deflnlto action was promised by Mr. Mott before the end ot the wee't, of John Ruszknkskl and exhumed for examination. through tho brush.
