HALIFAX, Xov. 1.? 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.
The forty-mile course was the same
as on Saturday a close-hauled reach

Nothing Has Been Adduced

.Sale on Which State Lost
SIOO.OGO, in Evidence
Deputy Comptroller .lames A. Wen
dell, candidate on the Republican ticket
to succeed Eugene M. Travis as Comp
: trouer of the State of New York, was
I completely exonerated yesterday by
Justice Fred' rick Kernochan of com?
plicity in ai crime that may have
been committt ? in the purchase by the
sttife of securities for the sinking fund.
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.
Mr. Wendel!, who has an honorable
record of nearly twenty-five years of
service in the State Comptroller's of?
fice, was not in court to hear .lust ice
Kernochan pronounce his exoneration
The Deputy ('?.nip; roller was said to be
engaged in a campaign tour of the
western part of the state.
If Mr. Wendell is again requested to
take the stand in the John Doe in?
quiry it will be for the purpose of
aiding Assistant District Attorney
Ferdinand P?cora, who is conducting
the investigation, to o certain what be?
came of several letters which passed
between the Comptroller's office and
the brokerage firm of Wil ?am S. Fan
shawe & Co. in the fall of 1917.
An examination of the Comptroller's
correspondence files revealed the dis?
appearance ?if these letters, which,
according to Mr. Fanshawe, were
turned over by him n> Mr. Travis in
accordance with one- of the conditions

Says He Speaks Not of

a Success for Humanity
TOLEDO, Ohio, Nov. 1.?Governor
i ox closed his campaign here to-night
as he licj'im ?t three months ayo, with a
plea that the election to-morrow decide
in ?Savor of America's entrance into the
League of Nations, He predicted his
election at Uie polls to-morrow was a
certainty, declaring that his success
would be a victory for a cause, not for
a political party.
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,

'MARION, Ohio, Nov. 1.- -In a long?
distance telephone conversation from
New York this afternoon Chairman
Will H. Hays of the Republican Na
I tional Committee told Senator Warren
i G. Harding something about the polit
i ical situation in New York, New Jer
i sey, Indiana and Illinois that the can
\ didatc characterized as "delightful."
i It was only a short time after this.
I conversation that the Senator strolled
' out to the "press shack," the bungalow
| in the back yard of headquarters that
? shelters the newspaper correspondents
? in their work of carrying on what the
! Harding family refer to as the "back
porch campaign." Then in the last of
: his campaign interviews Senator Har
I ding said:
"1 have made the best fight I know
? how to make and await the result with
? 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.
His final word this afternoon was that
he did not expect to be kept long in
suspense-, and neither does any one

; is stiff. There was tire in the blue
1 eyes of Dr. Harding and his white
I moustache fairly bristled. Judge Spen
- ccr immediately disavowed all connec
: tion with the slander story. Dr. Har
i ding asked him if he would make an
i affidavit that he. had never repeated
I the story. The judge agreed eagerly.
Then from behind the knot of idlers
' that had surrounded the pair came
Herman li ey. a ; : ky fa f .and w ho
works for Dick Crissingeiv former
Democratic candidate for Congress and
close friend of Senaten- Harding. Ire/
declared he had heard Judge Spencer'
repeat the negro bloo?! story.
"You're a liar!" said the judge.
With one hand calloused from con?
tact with plow handles Irey grasped
Spencer by the lapel of his coat, and
with the equally calloused palm of the
other he smacked the face of the Pro?
bate Judge of Marion County.
"Hit him again!" called a woman
who was trying to elbow her way into
the foreground of this scene. She was
lirs. V. i-.'. Dombaugh, wife of a Demo
? rat and daughter of Superior Court
.Judge R. E. Davis. There was talk of
tar ?'?ml feathers, but Dr. Harding
br'-tshel al! this aside, took the shaking
hand of Spencer and crossed to the
courthouse, where Spencer made an r.f
fidavit denying that he had circulated
'.in1 story. Irey went back to the farm.
Then the old doctor went out.
climbed into his rickety old phaeton,
clucked to his bay mare and drove out
to the home of "W. G.," on Mount Ver?
r?n Avenue. He looked just a trifle
pleased with himself.

Eleventh-hour betting in Wall Street
on the election ran into big figures yes?
terday, although the odds were heavily
in favor of Senator Harding and a
great part of the money offered by the
Republican supporters went uncovered.
!t was estimated late in the day that
in the neighborhood of $1,000,000 had
been wagered in the betting crowd on
the Curb and elsewhere in the financial i
district. While this figure may hive
been exaggerated, experts said that the |
activity in the betting market was the
?real? -1 in years.
Odds on the Republican national
standard bearer lengthened yesterday,
and, starting early at 7 to 1 on Sena?
tor Harding, they had reached 12 to 1
when business ceased. Old time Wall
Street men could not recall any other
Presidential year when the odds have
run so heavily against a Presidential
candidate.

A syn Meat?' of Wall Street, men were
reported late in the day to have raised

find no one to cover their proposition.

Believed To Be Certain
Thirty million voters will take
part to-day in the greatest of all
Presidential elections. 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.
Chairman Hays said last night,
that his prediction of Sunday looked
surer of fulfillment than ever.
He and his lieutenant's tr'i confident
that to-night tiie following states will
have cast their votes for Harding an-'

Four More States Probable
The Republican mam ?era . Mere
that they have better t isn an even
chance of carrying Ar./..ma, Kentucky,
Maryland and New Mexico, with thei.
twenty-seven additional votes.
If their expectations arc realize?!
this would increase tne column of Re?
publican electoral votes to 39.
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.
All the indications point to n tre?
mendous Republican sweep it. the State
of New York, with a plurality for
Harding and I lolidge of above 100.000.
