COLUMN | ROYHOWARD,HEAD BY HITCHCOCK| OF UNITED PRESS National Chairman Says Two States|Says That There is No Evidence of are Safe for the Republican Candidate. HUGHES EXPECTS TO CARRY N. Y. BY 100,000 Colonel Roosevelt Criticizes Wilson in Emphatic Words at New York. Chicago, Nov. 4.—Frank H. Hitch- cock today added Ohio and Wisconsin to the list of states he figures are safely Republican, placed Missouri and Kentucky in the tabulation of ‘‘sure, but not quite safe” states for Hughes, and maintained the claim that he issued Saturday that the Re- publican national ticket is to carry the bulk of states in the north and west. On the tnsis of his new figures, Mr. Hitchcock reiterated his expectation that Hughes will carry New York state by at ieast 100,000 and Connec- ticut he figured as absolutely assured to the Republican candidate. “Ohio I now consider safely as- sured to the Republicans,” he con- tinued. !‘Conditions that were giv- ing us trouble have beén sHaping themselves rapidly within the last few days. Indiana has been safe for some Yime. Wisconsin I find to be in much better shape than has been gen- erally believed, even in our own head- quarters. “Through the middle west Hughes has been gaining continuously during the last ten days. “On the Pacific coast the dmerence that existed in Washington has been adjusted satisfactorily, and that state, Oregon and California unquestionably will be Republican.” Indianapolis, Nov. 4.—Albert J. Beveridge, in denouncing the Demo- cratic claims of progressive legisla- tion, last night said: “We find that not one line of con- structive law passed during the last four years was written by a Demo- cratic pen or originated in a Demo- cratic brain. Every one of them was proposed and fought for by Progres- sives or Republicans, and for years every one of them was opposed by principles both by the party in power as a party and by the head of their political administration and a student and thinker.” New York, Nov. 4.—Colonel Theo- dore Roosevelt criticized President Wilson in emphatic words last night in an address at Cooper Union, which he delivered at the request of a cam- paign organization of business men who opposed the re-election of Mr. Wilson. Taking as his subject, ‘“‘Our Nation's Crisis,” Colonel Roosevelt said that a world cataclysm has over- whelmed civilization and that ‘*‘the times have needed a Washington or a Lincoln, but unfortunately we have been granted only another Buchan- an.” “I have been assailed,” said the speaker, “because I have criticized Mr. Wilson. I have not said one thing of him that was not absolutely accurate and truthful. I have criti- cized him because I believe he has dragged in the dust what was the most sacred in our past, and has jeopardized the most vital hopes of our future. In the face of the world he has covered this nation's face with shame as with a garment. “I hardly know whether to feel the most burning indignation and those speeches of him wherein he ex- presses lofty sentiments which his deeds belle, or at those other speeches where he displays frank cynicism and appeals to what is basest in the human heart."” MEXICAN LEADER GARCIA EXECUTED . (By United Press) El Paso, Nov. 4.—Colonel Rosario Garcia, Villista leader, and two fol- lowers were eecuted at Juarez this morning.

(By United Press) Note—After spending four months in South America and Europe, Roy Howard, president of the United Press association, returned to New York today. In Europe he met and obtained from delligerent leaders personal views upon promises not to quote them. By ROY HOWARD (President of United Press) New York, Nov. 4.—Nowhere in England, France or Germany is there the slightest evidence of the ap- proaching end of the war. No coun- try indicates that there will possibly be an end to the struggle within two years. There are innumerable indi- cations that the end. will be farther off. Washington, Nov. 4. — Officials frankly admit that they are puzzled about the status of the Deutschland. Should reports that a fighting sub- marine would convey ths Deutschland back to Germany prove correct, it is believed in some circles that if the two submarines act in concert it will greatly strengthen the British con- tentions that all submarines should be suspicioned.
