State Editors Strong to r Suffrage;
See Good Chance to Win New York
Tribune Poll Outside This City Shows Newspaper Sentiment
Overwhelming for Amendment ? Predictions Indicate
Vote Will Be Close!
The editora o? Now York State aro
atroagly In favor of woman ni?Tra/r*. I
A Tribune poll by telegraph of 22.?
newspaper editors pave 14.3 in favor
O? suffrage and intending to vote for
it ; 61, or less than one-third, against
it, and 22, or less than one-tenth,
..?.-..tial or non-committal.
New York City was not included
in the poll.
Tin* editors were also askod to
make a rough prediction as to how
red fommunities would
vote on November 2. No lipures
ware naked and few were attempted.
But the .general trend of opinion by
ccunties gives an interesting light
on the probabilities of next Tues?
day's vote.
Briefly, the opinions of the slate's
editors indicate that the suffrage
amendment has a good chance of
coming down to the city line with a
majority.
Of tiie counties outside of New
York, twelve can be counted on to
give a majority for the suffrage
amendment; eleven are certain to
xote against it; eight appear slight?
ly favorable to the amendment and
will probably give majorities for It,
and twenty-five are in doubt, likely
to give but a small majority one
way or the other.
This is the telegram which The |
Tribune sent to the editors of ex'ery
daily newspaper and a number of
weeklies in the state outside of the
preater city:
'?]>o you personally favor or op?
pose woman suffrage? Will the
amendment carry your town?"
When it came to making prediction.?
every ei'.tor apparently lubordlnateti
his personal feeling? to the demand
for the truth. This xx-s? evident from
re-ores of tclo?rram!. Many, confessing
they x4-ere ngainit tho amendment, pre?
dicted it xvould be carried in their
locality, and avowed FU?Tragists tea?
fe??ed that their respective commu?
nities would vote No.
Only One Editor Opposed.
The method by -which a county was
BlaSeed c-ither for or against the amend
raeat, er :r. the doubtful column, can
??<\ by taking Livniir
ston Coanty. Ten editors from this
county sent answer?. Nine of them
-> mally favored the emeu: t.
They were J. W. Burgesi, Dansville;
R. A. Peck, Cr.ledonia; H. It. Gibson,
?.von; D. II. Kinsrston, Dalton; Oscar
Woodrnfr, Dansville; B. H. Knapp,
Dansville; Walter B. Sanders, Mount
Morris; Harry M. Bollinson, Mount
Morris, and the editor of "The Living?
ston Repub?c-ir:," of Gent-seo.
Onlv one editor, A. II. Collin?, of
nia, ?vaa opposed. Yet the nine
editen Ib favor o? it, and one opposi-d
to it. did not enter into the prediction
. replies to the second
qneetlen: "Will the amendment carry
town?" were eonaidered in Pac?
ing Lhring toa ?b the doubtful column,
replied that their commu
? i were donbtfnl; twe that tnelr
venid be atrainst the amend
and twe that the amendment

FIND CORRODED
LINING CAUSED
F-4 EXPLOSION

Allowed Water to
Enter Battery.
? Y mm The Triune Bureau ]
Washington, Oct. 27. A dramatic
reconstruction, stop by step, of the
happenings on the submarine F-4 on
March 28 last, when she sank o?T Hono?
lulu with the loss of all on board, is
contained in tho report of the Board
of Inquiry, made public at the Navy
Department to-day. Tho officers of tho
hoard, headed by Rear Admiral Clif?
ford J. Roush, examined every plate
and rive; of the wreck.
The primary cune of the disaster
was the corroded condition of leal
lining in the batter, ?arks, and, in con?
sequence, of r.'..,j .-. the port ?????all of
the forward battery steel tank. Water
was thus allowed to enter parts of the
battery and to produce chlorine gas,
which exploded violently, admitting
Bratet in larfro quantities.
Beery possible remedy was resorted
to by the crew, but owing to the de?
fective diving apparatus, the tendency
to lunge forward and downward could I
not be overcome. The crew manipu
lated the rudders and propellers, and
tried to blow the water from the
'unk?, but the plunging continued. All
of the crew who could took refuge in
the engine room, closing the water?
tight doors. There, it is believed, they
lived for tona tima after ths bottom
was reached, bal the pre sure finally
: the engine room bulkheads to
give way.
Daniels to Confer To-day.
Secretary Daniels has not decided
what steps will be taken to fix re?
sponsibility for the disaster. He will
eoafer with his advisers to-morrow.
It is believed that the corrosion in the
batteries should have been discovered
?' regular inspection. The de
diving quaiitir* of the sub?
marine were due to the installai

F-4, as viven in the report, is graphic,

"The primary cause of the disaster,"
the report say?, "was the corrode^ <?,,-.,
dition of the lead lining, and, in con?
sequence, of certain rivets in the port
wall of the forward battery steel tank.
The secondary causes of the disaster
were: First, the poor diving qualities
of the vessel, and second, the conse?
quent failure of the vessel promptly to
respond to measures taken to bring her
to 'he surface.

Vessel Begins to Dive.
"The vessel developed a strong ten?
dency to dive. I'pon these intimations
of danger there followed up-rudder,
but, due to the poor divin? qualities of
the vessel, aggravated by the additional
quantity of water taken in through
the port wall of the forward battery
tank, the vessel did not respond, but, n
fact, continued to descend. Downward
momentum was gained before the pro?
pellers were stopped.

Vainly the Bulgarians have fought to
