New York, Nov. 5.—fandidates, par- ty managers and political ~workers whose activities are centered in New York spent Sunday in comparative quiet preparing for the final “drive” tomorrow to make the most of the few femaining hours before election. Both Parties Confident. | While both democrats and republi- cans professed entire confidence in tho outcome of the voting Tuesday, they are taking no chances on making po- litical slips or errors. Final orders have gone out from the headquarters here the national committees to tho Chiets of other states, but instructions will be transmitted tomorrow to sub- chiefs and lleuterants all the way down to the precinct’ captains. Hughes Has No Statement to Make. Charles E.

President Wilson's final message to state and county chairmen wired from Long Branch was made public at dem-. ooratic headquarters without . com- ment. It was sald to speak for it- self. Its closing sentence Was 2 warning against “sinister forces’ % resort in “desperation” to e 4 Inaidlous practices of o deonde or more ago: Bleventh hour efforts of both par- ties will be bent to “swinging” the laction of congressmen _in doubtful istricts throughout the country. Both presidential candidates in their cam- Pains have placed emphasis upon the fmportance of electing a congress that would be im sympathy with them and Their appeals have carried weight with their managers. New York State. Frederick C. Tanner, chalrman of the New York republican state com- mittee, issued a statement today pre- dlcting that 24 congressional candi- dates In this state will be elected DY the republicans and 17 by the demo- “a the two remainmg districts, he eaid, the chances favor the republi- cans. 100,000 Pluralty For Hughes. “The latest canvasses received by the republican state committee con- firm my statement of last Monday that 3 Hughes will caarry the state by more than 100,000 Mr. Tanner said, "3nd that Governor Whitman, William M. Calder and the entire républican ticket. will be elected by substantially ‘same_pluralities.” h ate Chairman Harris of the demo- crats added nothing to the prediction he previously had made that Presi- dent Wilson and the state ticket will carry New York by a rarge majority. Tammany's Claim. estimates of the result m e New York have been submit- ted to tCharles F. Murphy, Tammany Hall, but have not made public. It was reported today, however, that the estimates indicate President Wilson will carry the city Dby at least 85,000 and probably by much more than that. The democrats contend this will be more than enoug® fo offset the republican plurality up- state.

I need not add that the fed- eral reserve act is a guarantee against panics and that the federal trade com- mission will ald as it already has helped, to preserve the stability of our domestic and foreign commerce. Urges Precaution. “I am confident that the time has passed in America when votes can be bought, the ballot box defiled by corrupt practices, or the judgments of the American people determined or in- fluenced in any way by the use of money. It is, however, our duty to take every precaution, lést conscience- less agents of the sinister forces work- ing in opposition to progressive prin- ciples and popular goyerpment resort in their desperation to industrial co- ercion or to the evil and insidious practices of a decade and more ago.” | oUTCOME OF ELECTION IN MASSACHUSETTS Depends Largely Upon the Trend of the Progressive Vote. Boston, Nov. 5.—The outcome in Massachusetts on Tuesday depends iargely on the trend of the progressive vote of 1912. Up to that vear, while osoastanally alpet 3. goversior, the state had been. solidly Tepublican in ~ presidential contests. President Wiison received 173,408 votes against a combined vote of 298,176 for Taft and Roosevelt. This year the progressive party has disappeared from the official ballot. Believing that a majority of its for- mer membership has returned to the republican ranks, Republican State Chairman Edward A. Thurston claims everything with the exception of the present democratic state minvrity in j congress, with pluralities for Hughes and state candidates of from 75,000 to 1100,000. Democratic Chatrman . Michael A. O'Leary concedes nothing beyond a majority for congress and the state legislature. He looks tfor democratic pluralities on the national senatorial and state tickets, varying from 5,000 to_20,000. The prohibitionists, who have a rec- ognized official standing for the first time in the state, have made &n active campaign and claim to have attracted a large number of progressive irrecon- ciliables. The republicans now hold the state offices, two seats in the United States senate and 12 of the 16 seats in the national house of representatives. Gov. ernor Samuel McCall is opposed by Frederick W. Mansfield, who surprised his party by winning the nomination for governor of the demucxaric primary when the support of the party leaders generally had been given to General Charles H. Cole. A departure will be the clection of a United States senator by the people direct, and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge will thus face a popular vote for the first time since he resigned from the national house of representatives to enter the United States senate in 1893, He has fought his campalgn on na- tional issues chiefly. His democratic ~oponent, former Mayor John F. Fltz- gerald, while defending the national administration, hay attacked the record made by Lodge in his 24 years in the senate. BOTH PARTIES ARE OLAIMING CONNECTICUT 20,000 Majority For Hughes, Between 10,000 and 20,000 For Wilson Are the Estimates. New Haven, Nov. 5—With the campaign vi: closed, both the repubiican and democratic cam- paign managers claimed Connecticut by good sized majorities. ~Chairman J. Henry Roraback of the republican committee predicts Mr. Hughes' elec- tion by 20,000 majority. For the dem- ocrats, Chairman David E. Fitagerald estimates that President Wilson will carry the state by between 10,000 and 15,000 magority. Aside from the presidential outcome, chief interest centers in the race be- tween Senator George P. McLeen and Hcemer 8. Cummings for the United States sepate. Both are confident of winning by comfortable maorities. nerally s ing, the campaly has been marked by apathy, llthml:: interest has picked up in the last week RHODE ISLAND, Whole State Tiokst and Two Con- gresemen, ‘Claim of Repubilicans.

VOLUNTEER LIFE SAVERS RESCUE FIFTY PERSONS When Northeast Gale Disabled Boats in New York Bay. young e New York, Nov. 5.—Volunteer life savers and coast guard crews rescued more than fifty persons today in the outer bay when a northeast gale drove inland disabled motor boats and small fishing _craft. Coast guards from Sandy Hook station went to the rescue of three power boats, in oone of which were 20 fishermen. Another boat, the Mary E. Combs, drifted ashore at Sandy Hook Point with 33 fishermen clinging to her sides. A~ small motor boat tossed by the heavy sea a mile off Normandie, N. J., attracted hundreds of persons to the beach. The three occupants were res- cuied by a coast guard cutter after be- ing tossed about for three hours by the gale. A lifeboat- crew from the Anchor line Calabria, outbound for Naples, took eight men from the disubled mo- tor boat Ecio in Ambrose channel and transferred them to the pilot boat New Yorlk. Coast guard stations at Monmouth Beach, Seabright and Spermacitti Cove reported many fishing and small pleas- ure craft in distress, but were unable to launch lifeboats to go to their as- sistance on account of the heavy seas. but the other two congressmen and the whole state ticket is claoimed by NEW HAMPSHIRE. Republican and Progressive Are Working Together. Concord, N. H.. Nov. 5—With re- publican and progressive parties an- nounced as working together to return four Hughes' electors from New Hampshire, the state committee of the Zgrmer party asserted tonight that this result was assured. The committee estimated 12,000 votes as the size of the expected Hughes lead over Presi- dent Wilson. = Demoeratic committee- men made no detailed claims, but said that the president wauld receive more votes than in 1912, Parties Democratic Leaders Concede Electoral Vote Will Be For Hughes. Montpelier, Vt, Nov. b5—Hughes will carry Vermont with its four elec- toral votes, democratic leaders con- ceded tonight. They said that while there has been no concerted attempt to upset the republican plurality whi made Vermont one of the two Taft states In 1912, they believe that Pres- ident Wilson would receive many ¢ro- gressive votes and would poll a larger vote than four years ago. The cam- lpa.lgn in this state was rather Mst- ess. MAINE. A Plurality of 12,000 to 15,000 for Mr. Hughes is Looked For. Portland, Me., Nov. 5.—The repub- lican success at the September state election was the basis for a claim to- night by Frank J. Ham, chairman of the republican state committee, that Maine would return a plurality for Hughes on Tuesday of 12,000 to 15,000 votes. Democratic Jeaders, who like the republicans had made no cam- palgn efforts since September, an- nounced their belief that a good 'sized vote would show Wilson gains. OHIO IS CLAIMED BY BOTH PARTIES. is Estimated That More Than 1,200,000 Votes Will Be Cast. Columbus, 0., Nov. 5.—Not since the campaign of 1896 has there been such interest shown in & political campalgn in Ohio as in the one now clesing. It is estimated that more than 1,200,000 votes will be cas. in Ohio next Tues- day. Both supporters of President Wilson and Charles E. Hushes found plenty of consolaticn in the pre-election statements of the campaign chairmen. Republican State Chairman Charles Hatfield predicted Hughes, Willls and Herrick will carry Ohio by from 60,- 000 to 100,000, while Democratic State Chatrman W. L. Finley claims Wilson will have 100,000 plurality in the re- election of Senator Pomerene, the election of former Governor Cox and the entire democratic ticket. It PRESIDENT WILSON IS PLEASED WITH OUTLOOK Showed Deep Interest in Newspaper Accounts of Campaign. Long Branch, N. J, Nov. 5.—Presi- dent Wilson has completed his cam- paign activities and will rest here to- morrow awaiting the outcome of the election Tuesday. Regardless of the result, it was said by officials here he will soon begin to map out a program for the session of congress beginning next month.

IS TO GOVERN ITSELF Polish Provinces Formerly Under Rus- an Rule, Now Ocoupied by Forces of the Central Powers, Have Been Ceded Right to Choose Rulers. Berlin, Nov. 5, (by wireless to Say- ville). “Polish provinces occupied by troops of the central powers,” says the Overseas News Agency, “were the scene today of a great and momen- tous - historic event. Germany and .Austro-Hungary by joint action, pro- claimed Warsaw and Lublin the king- dom of Poland and re-established the right of the Polish nation to control its own destinies, to live an independ- ent national life’ and to govern itself by chosen representatives of the na- tion. “A few days ago a Polish delega- tion had called upon the imperial chanclelor, Dr. Von Bethmann-Holl- weg. Its’ members were ropresenta- tive Poles of ali classes, ail parties, all rangs of society and all creeds. They transmitted to the German gov- ernment the wishes of the Polish na- tion which now have been granted to them. Restoration of Kingdom. “Thus the ancient kingdom of Po- land from which in the past came fa- mous rulers like Jageliones (a dynasty founded by Jagello which reigned in Poland from 1386 to 1572) and glori- ous soldiers like the great Sobieski (John III, king of Poland in 1674- 1696) is now resurrected to mew life. The Poles arc again free from Rus- sian oppression; no more to be trod- den under the heels of the Cossacks. The liberty tahat had been destroyed a century ago on Russian instigation now is restored. The rule of the knout has been abolished. Poland has been given back to western civilization.” - Manifest Issued. The manifest issued at Warsaw and Lublin today reads as follows: “His Majesty, the German emperor, and His Majesty, the Emperor of Aus- tria_ana Apostoilc King of Hungary, inspired by firm confidence in a final victory of their arms and prompted by a desire to lead the districts con- quered by their armies under heavy sacrifices from Russian domination towards a_happy future, have agreed to form of these districts a national state with a hereditary monarchy and a constitutional government.

New London, Conn, Nov. 5.—Cap- tain Paul Koenig of the German sub- marine merchantman Deutschland, which arrived here last Wednesday, indicated today that he would make his homeward dash next Friday— probably late in the afternoon. While the captain would not make a defi- nite statement, there was plenty of evidence tending to show that prep- arations were being made for an ear- ly start back to Bremen. The gang of negro stevedores work- ed steadily all day loading a cargo of crude rubber and nickel; the Deutschland’s crew was engaged in overhauling the engines and five me- chanies from a local ship yard prac- tically completed the work of tight- ening rivets on the craft’s bow which have become loosened by tossing in the high seas on the way over. Persistent rumors that United States submarines were patrolling the three- mile limit called for another denial tonight from Commander Yates Stirl- ing of the submarine base. The com- mander said, however, that the ten- der Bushnell and the submarines L-1, L-2, L-3 and L-4 have been ordered to waters adjacent to Block Island for manoeuvers which will last until Saturday. The L-2 and L-4 were off Block Island today. There was a fresh crop of rumors today of the presence of a number of cruisers of the entente powers out- side the three-mile limit, but confir- mation was lacking. Captain_Koenig visited the govern- ment,_subMarine base on the Thames and later conducted Commander Stirl- ing and his officers through the Deutschland. Fourteen members of the imperial German erfibassy at Washington came here during the day and greeted the Deutschland’s captain and crew aboard the liner Willehad. Religious services were held on the ‘Willehad for members of the subma- rine’s crew this afternoon. Rev. O. E. Heydenreich of Hartford prayed for their safe return to the Father- land. ‘Arnother visitor received by Captain Koeniz today was Sir John Hammar of Stockholm, Sweden. A local woman who declined to give her name gave one of the Deutsch- jand’s crew a letter to mail in Ger- many.

Neither the Labor Vote Nor the Wome - en’s Vote is to Change That State. New York, Nov. 5.—Neither the labor vote nor the women's vote is to change - llinois from a strong _republican state, in the opinion of Willlam G. Edens, secretary of the Central Trust company of Illinois, who called at re- publican headquarters today. - Mr. Edens, who at one time was on official of the Brotherhood of Railway Train- men and has a wide acquaintance among labor leaders in different parts of the country, declared that there has been a strong swing towards Hughes in Chicago and Illinois within the. week which will land the repub] candidate safely on Tuesday. “The attempt of the officers of the railroad brotherhoods to deliver the votes of the railroad men to Wilson is reacting,” said Mr. Edens. “There may be some® slight defection among the trainmen as a result of the Adamson law, but it will have little effect on the result of the campaign. I have talked with a num- ber of officers of railroad unions in the last week or 5o and I find that they are up in arms against the national officers for attempting to deliver them politically. They are suspicious of the so-called eight hour law, but are more resentful over the way their of- ficers have attempted to deliver them to Wilson. “The claims of the democratic lead- ers that the women's vote in Illinole will be overwhelmingly for Wilson are not based on fact. I have talked with a great many women voters who are enthusiastic for Hughes and the en- tire republican ticket. Illinois may be safely placed in the republican column. Of that I am sure.” STAMFORD WOMAN KILLED BY AN AUTOMOBILE. Apparently Became Confused and Rushed Into Its Path. Stratford, Conn., Nov.
