EVENTFUL VOYAGE OF GERMAN U-51 Adventures of Submarine on Trip to Dardanclics—Sunk Traders and Battleships. | ernment’ | party for ! made a final FRANCE SUPPORTS ~ ee——— BARBOUR RUG AND DRAPERY CO. 200 TRUMBULL ST., Hartford OPP. ALLYN HOUSE CHINESE QUESTIUN i Joins With Other Allies Asking Postponement of Monarchy Peking, Nov. 3.—France has given her support to the ' representations made to China by Japan, Great Brit- ain and Russia concerning the ad- visability of postponing the decision as to re-establishment of a monarchy. Although the French government was not represented in the original action and accordingly was believed to have decided to abstain from participation, today the French Minister, A- R. Conty, called at the foreign office. He gave verbal ratification of the request of the other three powers. Notwithstanding the declination of the Chinese government to postpone the decision, on the ground that the matter now rests in the hands of the people, it is possible that the actual change in the form of government, if decided upon may not be made for some time. There is an unverified rumor that, if the election now in progress results in favor of a mon- archy, coronation of the emperor will be delayed until the conclusion of the European war, Discussing the refusal of the United States to support the Japanese rep- resentations, the Peking News, which reflects the views of the Chinese government, says editorfally: “Had America acquiesced to the pressurc | upon China at this critical moment, the country bent upon predatory ad- venture under the never failing gulse of ’'maintaining peace in the Far East’ would have been encouraged. America evidently is watching events attentively, which may be disquieting to others but is a source of comfort and encouragement to China.” WCALL WINS FOR | MASS.

The prohibition candidate confined him- self more closely than any of the oth- ers to the principal issue in his party platform and declared that both the major parties were controlled by the liquor interests. Clark, although run- characteristic progressive platform, made his contest al- most exclusively on the so-called ‘sec tarian” issue, urging that measures De taken to amcnd the constitution 50 as to prevent the possibility of state money being appropriated for the use of private educational institutions. Interest -in Suffrage. The total vote on the woman suf- frage amendment, falling only about 33,000 behind that for governor, showed the widespread interest in the subject which had been created by tae active campaigns made both by the suffragists and their opponents. The agitation for and against the umend- ment had been in progress for many months and large corps of speakers had toured the state. Yesterday near thousands of polling places womon “silent appeal” far the vote, standing all day displaying ban- ners in advocacy of their cause. The suffragists were in the minority in every city and almost every town in the state. Boston returned a majority of 22,175 against the amendment. Reeall of Curley. A movement for the recall of Mayor James M. Curlcy of Boston failed. Al- though its advocates mustered a ma- jority of 12,568, they failed to secure the majority of the registered vote re- quired under the city charter. There was a large number of blank ballots, more than 7,000 of those who voted for governor in the city failing to re- cord their preference on the recall question. LECTURE ON “SLAVIC ART”. Culture of the Russians Treated By Boston Professor. Professor Clinton L. Babcock of Boston gave a most interesting lecturc vesterday afternoon before the Wo- man’s club on “Slavic Art”, dealing especially with Russia. The Rus- sians, a people of whom ninety per cent, are peasants, illiterate and down- 'U‘Dfldsn, have been found by educa- tors to appreciate the best that liter- ature has to offer in” the works of such. men as Tolstoi, Shakespeare and Dickens. Because of the laws of the church there is practically no sculpture but SPECIAL SALE OF ORIENTAL RUGS FOR TEN DAYS ONLY For this sale we have secured a collection of Oriental Rugs, not like an ordinary stock, but VERY CHOICE ANTIQUES of many kinds —Rugs that are NATURAL in Coloring and ORIGINAL in Design.

GAINS CONGRESSMAN; FOUR GOVERNCRS CHOSEN New York Lower House Republican; Like- wise New Jersey--New Constitution Re- pudiated in Empire State---Virginia Pledged to Elections in ten states vesterday emphatically defeated woman suffrage zmendments in New York, Massachu- setts and Pennsylvania, and gave the republicans an additional representa- tive in congress, and a new governor in Massachusetts. The democrats, apparently, elected a governor in Maryland, and an entire state ticket besides a majority in the state legislature. In Kentucky both parties claim a victory in the gubernatorial contest, but incomplete returns from 111 of the 120 counties gave former Con- gressman Augustus C. Stanley, demo- crat, a lead of 9,029 over Edwin P. Morrow, his republican opponent. Mississippi, the only other state to ciect a governor, went as usual, demo- cratic. The only opposition to the democratic ticket headed by Theodore G. Bilbo, was made by socialist candi- dates nominated by petition. In New York, former Congressman William S. Bennet was elected in the 23rd district to succeed the late demo- cratic congressman Jacob Goulden. Bennet is a republican, Republicans will succeed in the 31st and 36th con- gressional district of New York and the 24th district of Pennsylvania. In New York the republicans re- tain their control of the lower house of the legislature, although they lost one assemblyman. They also elected a majority of the mayors chosen in cities of the state. In addition to defeating the suffrage amendment by about 210,000 votes, the people of New York repudiated the new state comnstitution drafted by a convention of which Elihu Root was Dry Coilumn | rejected in Detroit, after a bitter | nght.

Suffragists expressed the greatest surprise today over the overwhelming Gefeat they suffered up-state. Some of the big majorities rolled up against them by countles were: Alban; 10,000; Erie, 9,300; Monroe, 7,000; Steuben 6,000; Rensselaer, 14,000. Among the counties that gave saffrage a majority were Chautauqua, 2,600; Nassau 1,500, Maryland Democratic. Baltimore, Md. Nov. 3.—State i Comptroller Emerson C. Harrington, democrat, was elected governor yes- terday to succeed Gov. P. L. Golds- borough, Ttepublican., His plurality over O. E. Weller, republican, is es- timated at about 3,500. Albert C. Fitchie, democrat, for attorney gen- eral ran ahead of Harrington con- siderably and Hugh A. McMullen, candidate for comptroller, ran about cven with the gubernatorial candidate. The democrats will retain control of the state senate, through hold over members and probably will have a | reduced majority in the house of del- | egates. The four amendments to the state ! constitution werc ratified.

Philadelphia, Nov. 3.—Although | {the constitutional amendment which would have granted the woman of Pennsylvania the right to vote was defeated at yesterday's election the the vote against it was not nearly so large as was indicated last night. Early today the plurality against the amendment seemed to be between fifty and sixty thousand. A number of counties outside of Philadelphia re- furned majorities for the ,amendment while late returns from others were materially reduced. In Philadelphia suffrage polled 66,596 votes while 105,873 bdllots were cast against it. Thomas B. Smith, candidate for mayor, and the other members of the ticket for city and county offices were victorioug Ly nearly 70,000 plurality over George D. Porter, independent. Although President Wilson polled 66,308 democratic votes in this city, Gordon Bromley, the democratic cily committee’s chairman, received of 41,000 against prohibition ame; ment. Estimates on the official Jority against the proposal run frd 26,000 to 40,000.
