The forecasts of the result given to The Evening World on Satur- day by the managers of the various candidates remain unchanged. Will- iam F. McCoombs, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, ays Wilson will carry every State; Charles D, Hilles, chairman of the Republican National Cominittee, says Taft will be re-elected and Senatcy, Joseph M.
