RADICAL CHANGE IN SAN QUENTIN COMING
]. A n [ .A.
HE
Prison Factory Superintend
ent Will Be Elevated to
Rank Equal With That
of Warden
Two men will succeed to the posi
tion lhat will be left vacant by the
resignation of Warden John E. Hoyle
of San Quentin penitentiary.
At least that is the plan now under
consideration by the state board of
prison directors as a result of Warden
Hoyle's declared Intention to quit his
office *e>-a use of what he termed irk
some" friction betw ; een himself and the
prison directors.
There is at the present time a fac
tory superintendent, who la a subor
dinate of the warden. The state prison
directors plan to place this position on
a level in rank with the warden. They
further p4*f> t*v -mm n "if. this of
ficer the business manaKement of the
penitentiary and confine the duties of
the warden to disciplining prisoners.
It is believed that this step is being
considered as a result of the recent
scandal in San Quentin. which in
volved Captain of the Guards E. V.
Ellis.
"There is absolutely no change in
my determination to resign as war
den of San Quentin prison." said
Warden Hoyle today, as a quietus to
the reports current that efforts would
be made to get him to change his
mind.
Warden Hoyle returned to San
Quentin today. When he entered the
penitentiary the prisoners gathered ;
about him, but the expected demon
stration of which much had been ru- j
mored failed to take place.
Rumors that trouble might be j
brewing among the prisoners as a
result of Hoyle's determination to
quit were circulated freely yesterday
and today.
DUIW sKKi-riCAi.
Dennis M. Duffy, president of the
i state prison board, scoffed at this.
"Isn't it rather strange," said !
I Duffy, "that the prisoners in San j
Quentin should make such demnnstra- j
tion? It. Is not so very long ago that I
the prisoners rioted for three days I
while Mr. Hoyle was warden. Now it
is said that they are going to riot if
he leaves. It's absurd."
Until a successor to* Warden Hoyle
la appointed, in the event of his mak- j
j ing good his determination to resign, i
William K. Reynolds, deputy warden, I
j probably will officiate in the capacity j
las head of San Quentin prison.

"Politics Won't Name Hoyle's Successor"
By DENNIS M. DUFFY, president of prison board:
"Xo action has been taken by the prison board concern
ing a successor to Warden Hoylc. The mention of Tom Finn
for t,he place does not surprise me. He has been named be
fore, but as long as I am in office he will never get the place.

ARRESTS BY

New York Mayoralty Contest
Productive of Many
| Disorders
NSW YORK, Nov. 4.—One death,
scores of arrests and some rioting
marked the election in New York city
today. A light rain, which had fallen
throughout the night, stopped just
before the polls opened, and the sun
came out. A heavy vote was cast.
Joseph Poster was shot to death in
One Hundered and Fifth street on ac
count of a gang feud, which had its
climax in an election quarrel.
JUu account the- h<t**-o< the cam
paign, especially over the mayoralty
contest, between John H. Mitchell, fu
sion nominee, and Judge Edward E.
MeCall, Tammany nominee, extraordi
nary precautions were taken against
repeaters. District Attorney Whit
man and the Honest Ballot associa
tion hail scores of special officers
armed with warrants at the polling
places.
They made many arrests. The po
lice, likewise, were active, for Com
missioner Waldo issued special or
ders that peace and dignity were to
be observed.
Commissioner Waldo, on orders
from Mayor Kline, transferred every
police captain. Every, one was sent
to another borough.
The order came as a shock to old
timers in police headquarters and
was the first of its kind in the his
tory of the greater city, although it
has been customary to transfer every
patrolman at election. The order
will remain in force until 8 o'clock
tomorrow.

OPIUM SENT IN
AS 'MERCHANDISE'
Sixty Tins of Drug Are Found
"Posing" on Siberia's
Pier
Sixty tins of opium masquerading
as merchandise were seized on the
upper deck of pier 44 this morning
by D. J. Ahem, customs inspector.
The discovery marks a new depar
ture on the part of the smugglers.
The opium came from the liner Si
beria, and Ahem was not looking for
contraband when he found the $3,000
worth of forbidden drug.
As a result of the find all the
cargo discharged from the Siberia
will be closely inspected, as it is not
believed that the smugglers would
limit their operations to 60 tins.
A large quantity of qpium in blad
ders was found at Honolulu in one of
the liner's bathrooms. Since the ship
arrived an extra strong guard has
been maintained night and day and
the vessel has been given a thorough
searching.

Secretary Daniels Has Order

in Mexican War
BULLETIN
ON BOARD PRESIDENT'S
SPECIAL TRAIN, BALTIMORE,
Md., Nov. 4.—President Wilson has
allowed no word, either of confirma
tion or denial, to come from him
today regarding his demand that
Huerta step down and out. He is
turning his mind only to the New
Jersey and New York elections and
maintains his characteristic silence
on all Mexican affairs.
WASHINGTON," Nov. 4.—Secretary
Daniels, it is said, has in the drawer
of his desk an order reading; ,
"Shell and capture Vera Cruz and
Tampico." which only needs to be
signed and dated to give the signal
for the opening gun in the campaign
against Mexico.
In case of armed intervention, the
plan formulated by the experts at the
army war college calls for the land
ing of two separate forces at Vera
Cruz and Tampico, together with the
simultaneous crossing of the Rio
'Grande by at least 1,000 regulars.
The troops now in Texas are ready to
be rushed to Vera Cruz and Tampico
on three army transports, which are
ready to sail at an hour's notice.
After practically an all night vigil
in his office waiting for news from
Mexico City, Bryan was at his desk
early today with orders that any dis
patches from Mexico be brought to
him immediately.
State department officials feel that
the Mexican situation, which several
times has reached the boiling point,
is now about to "boil over." The
crisis was precipitated by the ulti
matum from President Wilson to
Huerta, delivered by O'Shaughnessy
last Sunday.
With the president out of Washing
ton, no hostile developments are
looked for today, but it was predicted
in political circles that if, upon his
return to the capital tomorrow night,
he finds Huerta'has defied the United
States, and has decided to remain in
power, the army and navy will be
ordered into action. This can be done
only with the consent of congress,
but those who know say the presi
dent will have little trouble in ob
taining this consent.
Senator Bacon of Georgia, ohair
man 'of the senate committee on
foreign relations, conferred with
Bryan for an hour today. Upon leav
ing the state department he said any
information concerning Mexico or the
reported ultimatum "will have to come
from Bryan."
J LTIMATUM NOT
U SENT, SAYS ENVOY
MEXICO CITY. Nov. 4.—O'Shaugh
nessy expressed surprise when lie read*
the press dispatches from Washington
saying the president had demanded
the abdication of Huerta from power.
"You have my word of honor no su< h
thing has transpired," continued Mr.
O'Shaughnessy. "I have not seen For
eign Minister Mohena for five days,
and, of course, any diplomatic repre
sentations which I might make would
be extended through him. I have not
been In communication with the Mex
ican foreign minister. So far as T
know at present, there Is nothing upon
which to predict a change in the pres
ent status.
WOXT DEMAND RESIGNATIO.X
"I do not purpose to ask Huerta to
resign so far as I know now. lam
In such a position that I would have
knowledge of such an event if an
ultimatum were delivered. As to the.
