"Lost and Found" Bureau SO MANY of the newly enfranchised voters left umbrellas, handkerchiefs nnd other nrtlcles behind them nt the polling place at 1728 De Lanccy street, tlint n "Lost nnd Found" bureau was started. The election officials wero kept busy searching for missing articles and re turning them nt the polling p'nee, which is officially known as the sixteenth di vision of the Seventh ward. An early voter was Miss Sarah Pen rose, daughter of Dr. Charles B. Pen rose and niece of Senator Penrose. Ac companied by her father, she voted the straigut republican ticket.

"Give them your name, glvo thepi your name," friendly persons volun teered. More thnn half tho women who voted were accompanied by their husbands. WOMEN CONDUCT 'DRIVE' OUTSIDE OF THE POLLS Solicitation of Funda for Shaw Me mortal Causes Some Criticism In their zeal to raise money for the $500,000 fund for an Anna Howard Shaw memorial, women stationed them selves outside of many polling places to day and solicited contributions from women voters. While the county commissioners say these campaigners were within their rights in doing this, so long as they re mained outside the polls, their activities aroused some criticism. This wns particularly the case where the women making the "drive" re quested women voters, as they entered the polling places, to give their names. Some women gave their names, others, knowing that only the judge of election could legitimately ask this question, sailed by into the polls with out nn answer. The memorial fund sentinels bore banners with the inscription, "Give as your heart dictates Anna Howard Shaw gavo her best." They also dis tributed leaflets which explain how Dr. Shaw devoted her life to the suffrage cause and then died on the eve of the day when marshaling forces led lt to victory. Among tho oentlncls today were so ciety women, school teachers, college women and nurses, many of whom vol unteered to give tho entiro day to this picketing. The Anna Howard Shaw memorial will be divided between Bryn Mawr College, to endow a foundation in poli tics, and the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania, to endow a foundation In preventive medicine.

Trainers Work Hard Harry nnd Joseph Trainer, who carry the administration leadership in the dis puted district, nlso were on the ground "irlv. working in behalf of their candi date, for whom they predicted vic tory. Mayor Moore, himself, stepped iuto the fight when he ordered Director of Public Safety Cortelvou to sec that threats of intimidation nnd unfair methods were not carried out. Harry Trainer visited District At torney Rotnn last night and told him of n iilaii ho hnd heard for stuffing ballot- boxes for Pommer nnd carrying the elec tion with tho aid of imported gunmen.

GUESSES IS YEAR Political Situation In Many Statos Complicated by Now Factors WOMAN VOTE UNCERTAIN Whllo party leaders are claiming that their candidates nre assured of victory nt the polls' today, competent nnd con ucrvntivo observers of the trend of po litical sentiment are taking cognizance of factors and cross currents that arc Involved for tho first time in a presi dential campaign and are showing a deposition to bo more guarded In their conclusions. Among the factors that have to be taken Into account this year Is the vote f the women. Not even the most as ute and experienced of tho old-time loliticians have been nblo to ascertain how the bulk of this voto will be cast, although attempts without dumber have been made. Labor troubles In scv cral states have further complicated the situation, and bitter fights over United States senatorshlps In at least half a dozen commonwealths have added to the uncertainty. Below is a summary of conditions In several states, compiled from reports of newspaper correspondents who have been able to study the situation, at close range: Vest Virginia Labor troubles during the lost twelve months have complicated the situation In this mining state nnd will result In n heavy Socialist vole, which will be drawn from both the old parties. The Republicans are predicting that the Democrats will suffer more heavily than they, nnd that tho detections irom me latter party will be enough to give the state to Harding. The result Is ren dered still more uncertain by the fact that three candidates for governor are In the field. New Hampshire Democratic hopes of a victory In the Granite State wero revived by the bit ter fight that was waged against Sena tor Moses, another "bitter ender" and nntt-suffrnglst. who sought re-election on the Republican ticket. Another fac tor, the influenco of which cannot be determined until the vote is counted, wns the declaration of Frank Musgrovc. editor of the Hanover Gazette, nnd Mrs. Wlniton Churchill that they wlll vote for Governor Cox on tho league Issue. Illinois One of the bitterest fights of the "pres ent campaign has been waged between the Lowdcu nnd the Thompson factlou in the Republican party for control of the stute, but It Is not believed that the conflict has endangered the success of the party ticket. A great,number of Republicans, lt is predicted, will refuse to vote for Len Small, the Republican I candidate for governor, nnd cast their ballots for James Hamilton Lewis, the Democratic nominee. Wisconsin A triangular contest for the United Ufntna Lniintnmliln la fliA mttctfinflltip feature of the campaign in Wisconsin this year. The candidates arc Senator jLenroot, Republican, who is seeking' re election as n regular: Ja.mes Tliomnson, i of La Crosse, who Is being backed by oenaior in roiiruc uuu iiih iuchuii, and Paul S. Rcinsch, Democrat. The state Is regarded by observers as safe ,for Harding, with a plurality large enough to carry Senator Lenroot through. The election of Victor Bcr ger as representative from the Fifth congressional district is regarded as probable. California The situation in California has been complicated by the fight that was made Against Japanese ownership of Intnl. which was led by Senator Phelan. who I sought re-election on tho Democratic 'ticket. Reports from several cities in the state nre to the. effect that the Democrats were trading Cox, votes for support of Phelan. On the presidential ticket tho state is regarded as safe for Harding. Connecticut Interest in the national ticket lia. been overshadowed to a considerable ex tent by the fight that was made on Senator Brandegce, one of the "bitter endcrs" in the Senate when the peace treaty wns before that body, and also bcinusc of his long opposition to woman suffrage. Nonpartisan observers predict that the votes of the women will be cast against him to a large extent, and that they may be able to defeat him. Utah Opposition to Senator Smoot, whoso stand against the League of Nations was displeasing to the members of the Mormon Church, has put that Btate in the doubtful column, in the opiuion of conservative observers, Maryland The rnco issuo was revived to a con siderable extent in Maryland, especially in Baltimore, where thousands of colored women are casting their ballots for the first time. The Republicans, however, are confident they will carry tho state. Indiana Opposition to Senator Watson, who was nominated for re-election by the Republicans, was the outstanding fea ture of the campaign in that state, and served In some degree to put natlonul is sucb in the background. His democratic opponent, Thomas Taggart, has made a vigorous fight, but the Republican man agers are contending that they will carry the state for Harding and also for the senator. Ohio " ' Due to tho fact that both presidential candidates are residents of Ohio and prominent in all Its affairs, tho stato fins been the scene of the most vigorous campaign it has ever known. The issuo as presented to the voters, aside from acceptance or rejection of the League of Nations, was the personality of the can didates, both of whom were known through their newspaper connections nnd previous candidacies to virtually every voter of the state. Now York Opposition to Senator Wodsworth bo cause of his anti-suffrage stand, the candidacy of Governor Smith, who is seeking re-election on tho Democratic ticket nnd who, until a few days ago was bitterly opposed by the Hearst newspapers, coupled with the independ ent candidacy of William J.
