ItcfTPN, April 20. It In nil over but
the otitic, the counting and the shout
lnc No man can forrtrll whnt the outcome
of to-morrow's primaries will l0 so
far as II pertains to the Aunt for tho
jtop'ibllivin delegates.
Champ Clark will undoubtedly tret tho
deh pates to tho Democratic convention.
Wilsons strength In tho rural districts
will r. be strong enough to overcome
Iiem.'iratlo machine control In the
cities and Inrgcr towns.
The Koosovolt people are claiming 20
nf the 3i", delegates to be chosen directly
by the people, but the Taft manage do
net concede the Colonel 10.
If crowds nt the rallies mean any
thing lrosldent Taft will sweep the
Ftnte. There were tremendous outpour
Incs of people nt the various stops dur
Intr his trip Into southeastern Massa
chusetts this morning, n patch which
the Colonel trod on Saturday.
I'nhlardl observers say that the as
semblies of people who came out to
hear the President far exceeded In num
bers the gatherings addressed two days
ago by Roosevelt. It was the same to
the north of Hoston this afternoon.
President Taft visited nome of the tex
tile centres where the Colonel talked
this forenoon, and the ovntlons the for
mer received In every city were not
only flattering but reassuring.
It will be surprising If Colonel Roose
velt does get ten delegates. The Re
publicans of this State nre noted for
their conservatlveness nnd they are not
us a rule men who will swallow such
radical utterances ns have marked the
Konsevelt compalgn.
The Colonel'H mnnagers have been
aware that their views have not made n
hit with the rank and file of Republi
cans and that Is one of the reason why
they have been advertising for Demo
cratic support. They have by circulars
and advertisements asked tho ttnenrolled
voters to call for Republican ballots to
morrow and to vote for Roosevelt. No
distinction has been made between Dem
ocrat and Republicans In their pleas.
Any kind of votes so long as they are
for the Colonel's delegates will be wel
corned.
It has been noticeable during the
Colonel's tour of tho Stat thnt at his
meetings Democrats have been the
noisiest. This was particularly so In
New I'.edford and at Kail River. Demo
crats who voted as such in the last
Mute primary nre now enrolled as mem
rors of that party and they cannot call
for Republican ballots to-morrow.
Another erstwhile powerful Influence
In Massachusetts politics of the most
Insidious nature has becti.nt work, just
a It was In the closing days of the
J'ennsyivnnia campaign In the inter
ests of Roosevelt, and more especially
linn siicclttcniiy against Taft.
In tin- I'lesldentlnl campaign of 190S
clergymen of certain evangelical de
nominations In several parts of tho
country were declaring null ca v that
Taft ought not to be elected because
being a I nltarlan he was not a Chris
tian The same type of minister nnd
jus toiinuers, who are supporting
Roosevelt, huve Injected another re
llclous Issue into the pending cam
paign It may hurt Mr. Taft In the up
country districts.
An unenrolled voter who npplles for
a Democratic or a Republican ballot
to-morrow Is thereby automatically en
rolled as n member of the party whose
ballot he takes. If he takes a Republi
can ballot to-morrow he cannot take a
JVmorcatle ballot at the next State prl
mury unless he changes his party en
rollment within ninety days prior to the
holding of such primary or caucus.
Two weeks ago the Itoosevelt men
were claiming, at the best, ten deb
Kates out of the thirty-six. To-night
they nre claiming eighteen. They say
they will tarry the Second. Third,
Fourth, Sixth, Seventh. Ninth, Tenth,
Eleventh and Fourteenth Congress dis
tricts anil elect two delegates at large.
The Taft men admit that the Sixth
nnd the Fourteenth districts nre bad
spots, but they hope to i.irry them ami
iif-sirt tnal thry will surtly win all the
other districts and all the delegates at
large,
one thing Is certain nbout the prima
ries to-morrow It will be ery late at
night nnd probably well Into Vednesda
morning hetore the icsult" of th- bal
loting are known. In many places the
polls do not cloe until '.' or 10 o'clock
m night and It will be some Job for the
tellers. The pi ctei entlal ote win prob
ably bo known llrst.
Cm, ,'dgar It. I'liampliii, chairman
of the Taft League executive committee,
said to-nlghl:
"'resident Taft will carry Massachu
setts, both in preferential nte and
pledged delegutcs. by a margin that will
astonish those who have failed to real

"We ee that the great iirijnrlly of

Wllllajn S. McNarv, manager of the
Wilson campaign, said tii-nlght-
"Two weeks ago It lonknl like Clark
In this Hlale. Theie Is no dmilit but
that he hud a good lead over l!m. Wll-i-'iii,
io fir as the politicians were con
trnrd l it irt Urn FikkmiM to Dudley
I i d M ne nnd nijself, then was at
that lime u tilruiiv underlying senti
ment for Wilson which, If appealed to,
would give him n majority vote In Mas
sachusctts. "The last two weeks wc have appealed
to tho vote which would naturally favor
a mHtt of Wilson's type the. Cleveland
type-w nicn is strongest with Massa
chusetts Democratic voters. From ad
vices we are satisfied that Champ
Clark's annexation stieech which killed
reciprocity ami prevented lower living
expenses for the people of Massachu
setts has been a strong argument against
him, Clark's characterization of Orover
Cleveland as Mudas Iscatiot' was ex
tremely obnoxious to many thousands
of Democratic voters who have great
respect and admiration for tho only
uciiincrnuc rresiucni in tirty years.
"The swing for Wilson which wns on
before his arrival In Hoston assumed
tremendous proportions after his brill
iant speech at the great rally which
was held In Tremont Temple. Gov. Wil
son's enthusiastic recetitlon bv thou-
sands of up-State Democrats where the
iinric people have had small rallied
shows the strong Wilson sentiment out
side of Huston. In this city during tho
past few days everybody has known nnd
commented on the fact that the swing
to Wilson hns been Immense. Wo will
sweep the State for Wilson over Clark
on the preferential vote."
That Champ Clark will carry the pri
maries by better thnn three to one was
the prediction given out at Clark head
quarters.
Mrs. Anna Mixsell Forced to
Tuck $3,000 Worth of II or
Jewelry in Satchel.
Mrs. Anna Mixsell, a toacher of music
and the widow ot Peter Mixsell, a piano
manufacturer, was attacked in her homo
nt 618 Kant Thirty-second street. Flat-
luish, yesterday afternoon by a man
who had come pretending that he wanted
to rent tho upper floor of her house.
After compelling hT to gather 13,000
worth of jewelry nnd put It in a satchel
he felled her wi th the barrel of a revolver
in a struggle to snatch a ring from one of
her lingers. She lay unconscious, but the
robber ran nway in such a fright that he
left tho satchel and tho jewels in Mrs.
Mixsell's parlor. All that he stole was SIB
that ho hart grabbed from a dresser in
her liedroom.
Mrs. Mixsell's home is n two story
frame house on a parked street It is
surrounded by a lawn and fronted with
trees. Mrs. Mixsell lives on the ground
floor nnd tho second floor was tenanted
until yesterday morning by a Mr. An
drews, his wife and child. Tho Andrews
family was due to move out a week
ago, but had been delayed. Three times
in tho last week the man who attacked
Mrs. Mixsell yesterday had called and
said that he would take tho Andrews
ajuirtment as soon ns ho could get it.
He wore good clothes and had a pleasant
manner. Incidentally ho had said that
he liked cats. He hud noticed that Mrs.
Mixsell had five of them and that save
for their compuny she lived alone.
The new tenant appeared nt 4 P. M
yesterday with a tae measure and said
he had come to measure the floors of his
new home nnd see what rugs ho would
need. At tho foot of tho stairs ho turned
abruntlv nnd said:
"Now, Mrs. Mixsell, where do you keep
vour jewelry.'
She laughed, whereupon he flipped a
revolver trom his iocket, pointed it nt
the widow and said.
"Maylie this will convince you that I
mean business.
He ordered her t collect nil the jewels
she had in tho house. With the gun always
aimed at her head she went to her IskI-
ruom and nut all the trmklets she had
in a satchel which he pointed out as n
good receptacle. The 1(1 that was lying
on tho dreser he quietly pocketed, rm
allv the satchel win ready, hut just then
the roblier sighted Mrs. MisswoH's w.-dding
ring on her It-It hand. lie said he wanted
it. She initod "don't take that " He
struck out with hi" (1st and she fell to tho
floor.
She was stunned a little but she didn't
nronose to let that main gold band ci
if she could prevent it. Sho got up nnd
she struck back nt the man He raised
his arm for protection and she ran into
tlio I ron t hall There they closed. In a
struggle at the loot ot the stairs air.
Mixsell's clothes were torn until she wns
almost disrobed. I he man wrenched
and wrenched until hehad the ring. It
was then that Mr. .Mixsell screamed for
the first time.
"Stop that'" shouted the man with the
cun. hut she screamed again. He raised
I the revolver and twice hit her on tho head
with the barrel That ended her cries.
, but the robber was scared. He bolted
to the stteet with the ring and the tie,
hut the full satchel was left in the tiorlor.
l Mrs. Mix-.cU was insensible for a long
time. It was two hcurs later when Mrs
Alexander Henrv. from her home next
door at "ii hast I hirtv-i-eeoiui street
saw her nt a window. Mrs. Mixsell hid
tried to ri-e the window, but was too weak

Is Held.
ESTATE MAY BE $150,000,000
Certain Thnt Vincent Astor
Will Como Into tho Bulk
of tho Property.
Definite nuthorltntlve stntement ns to
tho will of Col. John Jacob Astor, who
died on the Titanic, has not yet been
made public, but reports were current
yesterday ns to some of th eprovlslons.
Lewis Cass Ledynrd, representative
of the Astor estate and personal coun
sel or Col. Astor, said that there would
be no statement In regard to the terms
of tho will until tho document had
been filed. Edmund L. Hayllcs, a mem
ber of the same law firm, said that the
will would be filed soon and thnt at
that time the facts in regard to the dis
tribution of the estate would bo made
public.
One of the best defined of the rumors
yesterday wns that the will had been
rend nt tho Astor home at 840 Fifth
uvenuo on Wednesday last, those ores-
cnt being the trustees of the Astor es
tate and Vincent Astor. Mrs. Made
leine Force Astor. the young widow of
Col. Astor, wns too 111 to be present at
me reading, according to the report.
One of the provisions said to hnve
been made In the document is that the
widow shall have the use of the Fifth
avenue house during her lifetime.
The time of the making of the will
is said to have been either Just pre
ceding or Just following Col. Astor's
marriage to Madeleine Force at New
port last September. Mrs. Astor and
her stepson clung to the scant hope
thnt Col. Astor might have escaped
death In some way until even this
faint hope was dispelled by the an
nouncement on Wcdnesdny last of the
linding of Col. Astor's body. Then, It
wns stated, the trustees of the estate
met Vincent Astor at the Astor home
nnd went over with him the details of
the will In order that he might begin
tho task of familiarizing himself with
tlie estate of which he has become the
head.
Mrs. Ava Willing Astor. Col. Astor's
first wife, is expected to arrive In New
York to-day with her daughter, Muriel
Astor. The reports current yesterday
varied as to the treatment accorded the
first wife in the new will. One report
was thnt the first Mrs. Astor was amply
provided for I nthe document and thnt
the widow also was a beneficiary in
spite of the reported marriage settle
ment In lieu of dower. Another said as
positively that although Mrs. Madeleine
Force Astor receives the Fifth avenue
house for her lifetime nnd that provi
sion Is made ns well for the upkeep of
this house, thus relieving her of that
burden, the first wife was not mentioned
in the will. All reports agree thnt Mu
riel Astor, Col. Astor's daughter by his
llrst wife, and any posthumous children
by his second wife are cared for under
the win.
The bulk of the estate. It is assumed
will go to William Vincent Astor, Col.
Astor's son, who Is not yet 21. Included
In Vlncrnt Astor's Inheritance, accord
ing to one source of Information, Is
four-fifths of the estate of William As
tor, Col. Astor's father, which came to
him through I ol. Astor by William As
tor's will. According to another Inform
ant. Col. Astor was not circumscribed
In disposing of the property byany pro
vision of his father's will, but he never
theless has provided that the hulk of
the William Astor estate shall be left
In the hands of Vincent Astor. The mar
riage settlement mnde by Col. Astor
upon his second wife. It was slated yes
terday, was at least $1,1)00,000,
A conservative estimate- of the estate
Is said to be $ir,0,000.nurt. ot this Stfi,
flOd.OOO represents the sum left to Col,
Astor by his mother, Mrs. William As
ter, This nmount Is said to have been
lnrgely Increased by Col. Astor through
his Investments. Altogether, It Is
thought thnt Col. Astor's personal prop,
erty alone totals about J30.000.000. se
curities of the Niagara Falls Power
Company and the I'nlted States Steel
Corporation nre said to figure largely In
this part of the estate. The Astor estate,
which enme Into Col, Astor's hnnds nt
the death of his father, may reach t"0,
000.000 at the present time.
It has been decided to postpone the
filing of the will, It was said yesterday,
until after the funeral. The body of
Col. Astor, which Is being brought to
Halifax by the Mackay-Hennett, will be
brought to llhlnebeck as soon as pos
sible. Alter the funeral at Rhlnebeck
the body will be brought to New York
for burial In Trinity Cemetery. It Is
thought possible that the funeral will
be held late In the present week nnd
that the will will be filed before the
week ends.

PIANOS:-
How to Select Them
Buying a piano is either easy or difficult, according to the
way you set about it. Don't court disappointment by selecting
an instrument in a haphazard way. Remember there is a stand
ard of value in pianos, as in everything else.
Here at Aeolian Hall you have the opportunity of learning
definitely just how good any piano should be for its price. We
don't say "Come here and buy your piano" but we do say
" Don't buy before coming here."
Perfectly logical! For here is a great building with all but
one floor devoted exclusively to keyboard instruments in a
range of prices that excludes neither the pinched purse nor the
one that can buy the most expensive of all. Here there is not
merely one kind of piano but many, so that every taste in tonal
quality, construction and style can be pleased. Nor is this
simply a salesroom. On the contrary, we make every piano we
sell and guarantee it so that each is backed by the reputation
of the world's greatest music-house.
And all this holds good whether your purchase be the exquisite
hand-carved Weber Art Grand or the wonderful $250 Stroud.
Conic f Wc don't want you to buy so much wt we ivant you
to sec. Come it's only to tour the building for enjoyment.

If you nre familiar with motor truck coastruction
and are experienced in the operation of heavy duty
trucks, the Garford chassis will appeal to you at once.
The pressed steel frame (guaranteed for three years),
four speed transmission, straight line drive, extra
heavy jack shaft, housings, torsion rods and other
driving mechanism never fail to make good.
A thorough examination will prove to you, as it has
to many recent purchasers of the Garford, that the
weak points apparent in the average truck have been
completely overcome in the distinctive construction of
