The Gloucester ci.ooner Esperanto came from behind to-day and won the second interna? tional fishermen's race from the Lunen burg schooner Delawanna by 7 minutes and 1 x seconds, the Re.by thereby clinch? ing the cup and $4,000 in prize money I to the United States in the international [series between the Nova Scotia fisher- ; men and their Massachusetts rivals. Keen judgme.it and matchless sailing j r.bility of Captain "Marty" Welch, of j the Gloucester boat was responsible foi the victory. 1I<> brought the Esper- j I anto from behind after twenty-two miles of the forty-mile course had been ' sailed, and on the lina! leg, which was a dead beat to windward. Captain Welsh said to-night it w..s ; the wind that did it. "In the light wind," he said, "the Delawanna had us, but in the heavier wind as we approached the harbor we loped ahead. But she is a game ves? sel, A very fine vessel, and a splendid crew." Cheers for Vanquished He made this statement as.his crew was giving three cheers for the crew of the Delawanna. "That's just what you ought to do," he said t?i his men. "They are a tine . bunch and deserve it..'' : Captain Tommy Himmelman, of the defeated schooner, when asked for the reasi n that he had lost the race, said: "Oh, 1 overshot the mark when I overstood about a mile further than - 1 ought to have in passing the third ? buoy." At the third turn the Gloucester craft cut the Luncnburg boat's lead in half. Members of the crew of the Delawanna, however, declined to take Lin i captain's explanation, saying that ? he only took precautions not. to run : tiie Esperanto too close to the shoals of Devils Island in making the turn.

Justice Kernochan, in announcing yesterday that he had reached a deci? sion in the John Doe investigation of bond investments by the Comptroller's office, gave Mr. Wendell a clean bill of health in these words : "I want tjj^say that in my opinion the evidence so far adduced does not connect Deputy Comptroller Wendell with any crime that may have been committed in relation to the bond sales under inves? tigation. Neither do 1 believe that suf? ficient evidence has been offered in this inquiry to warrant an examination of Mr. Wendeirs private financial trans? actions." In Office for Twenty-five Years This assertion on the part of the i judge, who for three weeks has listened t i evidence in the investigation of I highly involved bond transactions cov? ering Comptroller Travis's entire term of office, was taken to indicate thai i the court was convinced o? the truth of Mr. Wendell's declaration on the ?stand that he had taken no authori? tative part, in the purchase of securi ; ties for state sinking fund purposes.

Two audiences, numbering several thousand, heard his speeches, and as he closed his last plea for the league his words were that its acceptance by the United States meant "peace on earth, good will to men." \ Tho Governor's visit to tfiis city was to keep faith with a political supersti? tion his party followers l/ere have, as? serting his only defeat at the polls was when he did not close his campaign here on election eve. Referring to his political career and the local superstition, the Governor said: "I finish the campaign here to? night, and I expect to win Lo-morrow." The Governor also renewed his at? tack on Senator Harding on the league issue, declaring that the Republican candidate was "wiggling and wabbling,'' | and that tha Senator's election meant ?"controversy and confusion." The : Governor and his party arrived here by special train early in the evening from Dayton and left on the return journey immediately after his speech. ; To-morrow lie will rest at. Dayton, go ! ing to the polls with .Mrs. Cox to vote | ?luring the day, ami then at night will go to his newspaper office to watch the returns bringing in the verdict of the : election. The Governor brought his campaign to a close just an hour ..ml a half be I fore the beginning of Election Day. I T'ne song of the angels at Bethlehem j that he used as the closing words of i his campaign, he said would he sting 'again by the angels when this country j entered the league. The Governor, in attacking Senator Harding,.'declared: "No one knows I where Harding stands" on the league issue. Governor Cox also declared that the lie-publican campaign leaders had sought to win votes "by every means." Senator Harding's election, the Governor added, would fie a "mixed mandate" regarding whether this coun ? try should join the league. Some Hearers Quit Hall "Every traitor in America," the Gov ' crnor asserted in this connection, "will vote to-morrow iur Warren G. Har ; ding." This remark caused a few hearers to i leave the hall, with whom the crowd ? made merry as tho departing voters moved toward the exits. The Governor : also declared that when he started the campaign he promised to "step a fast heat," and he added that he "finished with greater speed than ever." "The spiritual eyes of 81,000 Ameri I can boys who fell in the war," declared 1 the Governor, "will look upon you to? morrow at the polls to see whether we are a nation of honor or a nation of repudiators." Repeats Conspiracy Charge T'ne Governor repealed again his "conspiracy charge." accusing Senator ; Lodge and other Republican Senators as "conspirators in hatching a plot" ? to defeat the league. "After to-morrow," Governor Cox I declared, "one of the conspirators will be a private citizen, residing at Marion, Ohio." Many in the crowd arose to their feet, cheering the Governor's predic . tion, tin his way here from Dayton the ' Governor and his party stopped tit ; Deshler, a railroad town of 2,000 in? habitants, where several hundred had gathered at tfi station, awaiting in a ! drizzling rain the coming of the candi j date.

The candidate said that the final re l ports coming in from over the coun? try were thoroughly satisfactory. He ?was especially pleased with a report : from Wisconsin that Senator Irvine L. : Lenroot was going to win in the Ser.a i tonal contest there, in which he is opposed by Dr. Paul Reihsch, the former Minister to China, a Democrat, and James Thompson, running as an independent, with the backing of Sena? tor Robert La Follette. Hears Watson's light Is Won Senator Harding also was informed i to-day that Senator James Watson's fight for reelection in Indiana was won. , The contest between Thomas Taggart ; and Watson has been one of the closest | of the Senatorial contests. I The candidate was as calm and even tempered, even jovial, on the eve of election ?is if he had just relaxed after putting his newspaper "to bed" instead of having brought to a clos;- a political ' campaign in which his opponents have outdone all previous records by the viciousness of the slanders they have circulated. His attitude was a volume | of testimony concerning his poise. It was the Senator's pian to retire I early to-night, if that should be possi ! ble, read himself to sleep with "The Imperial Purple" of Edgar Saltas and arise in time to vote at 9:.'!?J in the morning. Senator and Mrs. Harding ? will vote together. The polling place is a private garage set between the rear yards of their friends the J, A. i-Schroeter and Frank A. Ilubcr families. Rainy skies over Marien caused Sen? ator Harding no uneasiness because of the old tradition in Ohio that Demo? cratic victories come with bad weather. "The automobile spoiled the tradi? tion that rain was Democratic weath? er," said the candidate while remi? niscing this afternoon. "It used to be that the best part of the Republican vote was out in the country, and the polling places were widely separated, but it's easy enough for people to vote nowadays. 1 remember, when 1 was teaching school near Marion, a wagon was sent out to bring m<- into town to voto; I was four years from being of voting age, but I accepted the ride." "With reservations, Senator?" some one asked. "Interpretations," he responded. Nominee Plays Golf To-day '? is the candidate's^ntention to play golf to-nmrrow afternoon at the Scioto Club. The golf game is scheduled to start early, so Die candidate can re? turn to Marion before the returns be? gin to come in. Threaded through the trees of his back yard are scores of telegraph wires, centering in the "press shack." The Senator expects to remain in lia home and receive bulletins there.

News from all sections indicated that the land? slide which had been predicted would not fail in any particular. The Republican managers closed the campaign last night confident that Harding and Coolidge would be swept into power by an overwhelm? ing popular vote, and that the count would give the Republican standard bearers at least 368 of the ">3; electoral votes.

While North Carolina anJ Okla? homa arc not claimed by the Ft? pub'. - cans, the reports from tho;e states indicate that a tidal wave is expected. If the Republican hopes are fulfilled, or approximately so, Governor Cox will have but slightly above 100 elee toral votes, his list of states ii eluding Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, at't. South Carolina, Oorgia, Texas and Virginia, with a total of 10 electoral vetea.
