(Copyright, 1936, by Paul Mallon) WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, President Roosevelt has his own private straw , vote man, Emll Hurja, who assays political certain ties mathemati cally for Chair man Parley. When Mr. Hur ja goes Into a rapid calculation and gets the ans wer, he tells it to Parley and Parley tells it to the president. There the matter rests. Nobody say a anything aloud except the usual thing, that Mr. Roosevelt will carry all states and most of the Island possessions which do not vote.
