SULZER MJNOW
HIS FATE TO MORROW
New York, Nov. 3 New York City's
bitter mayoralty campaign entered on
its last day today. Closing speeches
of candidates will be made tonight and
tomorrow voters will decide whether
Edward E. McCall, Tammany, or John
Purroy Mitchel, the fusiau nominee,
shall be mayor.
William Sulzer, deposed governor,
seeking to return to the assembly as
a Progressive, published today letters
and telegrams purporting to show that
McCall offered to get Charles F. Mur
phy, the Tammany leader, to stop the
Impeachment trial, provided Sulzer
would endorse McCall's candidacy for
mayor and stop the inquiries looking
to the exposure of Tammany corrup
tion, Four Candidates.
Boston, Mass., Nov. 3. The closing
lay of the state campaign found each
of the four leading candidates for gov
ernor carrying his appeal to the voters
and predicting success at the polls
tomorrow.
Governor Eugene N. Koss, who is
seeking a fourth term as an independ
ent, toured Cape Cod and spoke in
twenty towns.
A noon meeting in Boston was ad
dressed by Lieut. Governor David I.
Walsh, the Democratic gubernatorial
aspirant.
Mr. Walsh planned to address 28
meetings around the city tonight. The

Baltimore, Md., Nov. 3 With their
party more united than it has been
for years, the Democratic leaders are
today practicing a sweeping victory at
tomorrow's election in 'Maryland.
Republican State Chairman Hanna
would not give figures, but was san
guine that the result would show that
bis party, which suffered most from
the Progressive defection had been
solidly reunited.
In New York State.
New York, Nov. 3. Republicans pre
dicted today that they would regain
control of the lower branch of the
state legislature through tomorrow's
elections. Their hopes are based on
Democratic dissatisfaction over the
removal of Governor Sulzer and the
fact that the Democratic leaders have
neglected the state situation In the
bitter fight to remain in command of
New York City.
The Progressive party promises to
play as important a part in the state
election as it did a year ago. To the
big Progressive vote last year the Re
publicans attributed the defeat of their
candidate for governor and the loss of
the legislature.

chairman of the campaign committee
cf the Independence leflRi and Clem
en J. iDriscoll, president of the Vot

The letter charges Voorhees with
failure to Investigate violations of the
election law, with permitting his of
fice to be used for partisan purposes
and with "general incompetency and
inefficiency."

'deputy superintendents, men totally
unfitted and of bad reputation," some
of whom he equipped with revolvers

THAW BRIEF
IS FILED WITH
GOVERNOR TODAY
l Concord, N. H., Nov. 3. The final
brief for Harry K. Thaw in connec
tion with his efforts to resist extradi
tion from New Hampshire, to New
York, was filed with Governor Felltpr
today.
The brief states that the requisition
is not in accordance with the rules of
the practice; that the laws of New

indictment, and that the requisition
is not made in good faith.
The activity of William Travers
Jerome in obtaining the indictment

NEWSPAPER CHARACTERIZES
TRIAL AS VAUDEVILLE.
Kiev, Russia, Nov. 3. "Vaudeville"
is the term used to by the newspaper
Kievsky Milsyl, in referring to the
testimony of father Pranaites, the
priest from Turkestan, at the trial of
Mendel Belliss for the alleged murder
of Andrew Yushinsky. It adds that
the priest has proved a "broken reed"
for the prosecution.
STREET CARS STILL TIED
UP BY STRIKE
0T A CAR-RUNNING IN INDIANAPOLIS
WHERE STRIKE WAS CALLED LAST
FRIDAY MERCHANTS DEPUTIZED TO
HELP KEEP DOWN DISORDER.
Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 3. Street
car service, which has been tied up
since Friday night by the strike of
the employes of the Indianapolis
Traction and Terminal company, was
not tresumed today. Crowds of strik
ers and sympathizers flocked near the
Louisiana street barns. The crowd
was orderly.
Bankers, merchants and profession
al men are to guard the streets to
night In order to let the police devote
their full time to the prevention of
destruction to street car property.
Sheriff Portius served summons on
200 representative business men this
morning, ordering them to report for
guard duty as deputies later in the
day.
The summons stated that lawless
disorder, accompanied by many
breaches of the peace and destruction
of property prevailed in the city and
that the municipal police have declar
ed themselves unable to cope with the
situation. The men were called to aid
the sheriff under the pain of arrest,
Clubs were used freely by the po-l
lice when an attempt was made to run I
cars which stood on street corners
into the barns.
Much talk was current on the i
streets today that sympathetic strikes
would be called by numerous trades
and there was a report that the build
ing trades might call a strike. No
such action had been taken up to noon,
however.
Most of the factories were short
handed, owing to the inability of em
ployes to reach their places of busi
ness. The automobile and truck
transfer systems that have sprung into
life since the calling of the strike
could handle only a small proportion
of the people.
Few women were on the streets.
' Robert I. Todd, president, and John
J. Mahoney, superintendent of the
street car company, and Chief of Po
lice Hyland, were attacked by a crowd
of strikers and sympathizers this
afternoon, but were not seriously in
jured. The mob threw missies, strik
ing the officials several times.

ARMS ARE NOT
ALL GIVEN IN
YET
SO ADJUTANT-GENERAL CHASE TELLS
COLORADO COAL FIELD STRIKERS
THAT ALL WEAPONS MUST BE
SURRENDERED TODAY OR HE
WILL SEARCH CAMP.
NO SETTLEMENT OF
STRIKE IN SIGHT YET
Trinidad, Colo., Nov. 3. Continued
activity by union leaders In an effort
to collect all arms and ammunition,
either concealed or in possession of
the strikers, or an immediate order to
surround and search the tents at Lud
low was the ultimatum delivered by
Adjutant General John Chase to John
R Lawson this morning. General
Chase visited Ludlow early today and
Conferred with Lawson. The latter
turned over a few guns and stated
that he was experiencing much diffi
culty in inducing the miners to sur
render the weapons.
' No prospect of a speedy settlement
of the coal strike in the southern Colo
rado fields exists at present in the
opinion' of Frank J. Hayes, interna
tional vice president of the United
Mine Workers of America who has
just returned to the district, from
Denver.
Hayes denied the report that many
of the strikers are preparing to go
back to work unuer me uiuitn.uuu u.
the state militia. He also scouted tlie
rumors that large numbers of mine
guards and strikers have beeu killed
during recent clashes and that the
bodies have either been left in the
hills or burled secretly. An investi
gation of the report that the coal
companies are evading the law by im
porting men, giving them a few hours
work at the Pueblo steel mills and
then sending them to the mines, is be
ing made he said:
"The number of rifles in possession
of the strikers," he said, "has been
greatly overstated. I am not prepar
ed to say what disposition has been
made of them." Another effort to
peacefully secure the arms of the
strikers at Ludlow will be made and,
if they are not turned over, Adjutant
General Chase announces that he will
take such steps as seem necessary.
Detachments of militia are at Lud
low and many of the coal camps in the
districts, and no disorders were re
port during the night.
Horace Hawkins, counsel for the
United Mine Workers of America,
when asked regarding the report that,
he had advised the strikers that they
were not obliged to obey the order of
the militia to turn over their arms,
since martial law had not been pro
claimed, Mr. Hawkins issued the fol
lowing signed statement:
"I have at no time advised, directly
or indirectly, that the strikers are not
to deliver their arms to the militia. I
am not. throwing any obstacles In the
way of Governor Ammous."
No Disorder.
Denver, Colo., Nov. 3. No disorder
was the report received today by Gov.
Amnions today from the southern Col
orado strike zone. The governor re
ceived a telephone from General John
Chase at 1 o'clock today to the effect
that disarmament was proceeding
satlsfactrily at Walsenburg and that
a considerable number of rifles and re
volvers had been turned over today
by the strikers at the Ludlow tent
colony. It was said the strike leaders
had assured General Chase that they
would continue their efforts to aid him
in getting these. This attitude was
taken when it became known that
Governor Amnions remained firm in
his determination to disarm both
strikers and guards with the least
delay and interruption to business.
Reports to the governor's office
from Routt county were to the effect
that none of the miners responded to
the whistle call this morning. Last
week the operators of four mines in
that county announced that they
would resume operations today. No
trouble was reported.
Advices from Louisville in north
ern Colorado today stated that a
clash occurred shortly after midnight
between strikers and strikebreakers
at the New Monarch mine No. 2.
In an exchange of shots lasting
about twenty minutes Mike Piera,
who was in the mine bunk house, was
slightly wounded. There are no
troops iu the northern Colorado Gelds.
The mine at Leyden, Colo., contin
ued operations today, tke threatened
strike failing to materialize.
PREFERENCE CHARGED
IN COLLAPSE OF POOL.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 3. Echoes
of the collapse of the Hocking pool,
which mined several brokerage firms
in 1910, were heard in the supreme
court today, when It was held that un
due preference had teen given to the
National City bank in settling the af
fairs ct Lathrop, Haskins & Com
pany. It was held that in the failure
cf J. M. Fiske & Company on the
same day, the Mechanics and Metals
National bank, also received a for
bidden preference.
PRESIDENT IS
STORM CENTER
IN SENATE TO-DAY
Washington, D. C, Nov. 3. Senator
Martine critioised Senator Cummins
today for some of the latter's speech
es in New Jersey in which Mr. Cum
mins was quoted as having said there
was no moral difference between
Iluerta and the man in the White
House" and having assailed "big stick
methods in connection with the tariff
bill."
.Martine characterized the refer
ence "absurd, ridiculous and ungener
ous." Mr. Cummins declared he had not
discussed President Wilson in such a
vein.
"1 spoke of the office, not of the
man," he said. "I did severely criti
cize the tendency of the executive to
override the legislative branch of the
government.
"Does the senator mean to repeat
his comparison between Huerta and
President Wilson?" demanded Senator
Martine.
"Of course I did uot say that." re
turned Senator Cummins.
"But. 1 did say and 1 will say again,
that I would just as soon have my
will as a member of congress over
come by armed soldiers as by any in-
j fluenc.e from the executive
There is
no difference,
Senators Owen and Williams de
fended the president, the former de
claring that he occupied the White
House Willi "more modesty than was
usual."
Senator Williams declared that it
was "slander and calumny" to say
that the president had used patron
age to influence legislation and chal
lenged any senator to prove that
charge.

ANTI-TRUST LAWS MUST
WAIT FOR it WHILE '
PRESIDENT WILSON INSISTS THAT CON
GRESS MUST NOT LEAVE CURRENCY
BILL NOW-AFTER IT IS PASSED, HE'LL
CONSIDER OTHER MATTER.
Washington, D. C Nov. '.) Piesi
nenl Wilson said today he woull not
launch any recommendation for anti
ttust legislation until the currency bill
was passed and that it would he his
aim f keep the currency quc-.itinn the
center of attention. He made it plain,
nowever, that he had some definite
id. as on the trust question which he
had already discussed with Chairman
Newlands of the senate interstate eom
ricrce committee, and Chairman Clay
ijn of the house judiciary coimn.lee,
as well as Attorney General McRey
nolds and that all were thinking along
the same lines.
"The anti-trust, program artued to
the teeth." is the way those close
to President Wilson describe his
plans.
I ; The president, they say, intends to
get behind whatever measure the
chairmen of the two congressional
committees will work out in consulta
tion with administration officials.
President Wilson let it be known
that he is opposed to the senate bank
ing committee currency amendmeut,
providing for four regional reserve
hnnkM instead of twelve as in the
houge currency bm.
With work on the currency bill tem
porarily halted, a number of confer
ences among senators, and at the
white house today discussed the pos
sibility of calling a Democratic caucus
to take the measure out of the hands
of the committee. The committee is
divided over several propositions in
the house bill, which the administra
tion is firmly supporting, and on sev
eral occasions, combinations of a few
Democrats -with the Republicans, de
feated administration proposals. Af
ter Chairman Owen of the committee
returned from the white house to the
jcapltol today, he talked with Senators
ilCern, Simmons, and other Democratic
Jieaders about a plan to call a caucus
jfor Thursday or Friday.
PRESIDENT HEARS ABOUT
CALUMET STRIKE.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 3 Repre
sentative McDonald, of Michigan, talk
ed with President Wilson today on
conditions attending the copper
miners' strike in the Calumet region.
McDonald told the president some
thing should be done, either through
executive action or legislation, not
only to adjust the strike, but to pre
vent future strikes which involve the
prosperity of an immense Industry.
President Wilson expressed deep in
terest in the subject. The federal
mediation board. It was agreed, could
not take up the strike because of limi
tations of ita work,- but the president
expressed the hope that some plan
soon might be adopted to meet the situation,

intervention is not
discussed, says bacon
Washington, D. C, Nov. Reports;
from John Lind, President Wilson's
personal representative in Mexico,
concerning his recent conference in
Vera Cruz, with the Russian, German
land Norwegian ministers to Mexico,
I conveyed the impression to President
Wilson today that, there was no dis
position on the part of these diplo
mats to co-operate with the United
i States in lending their support to the
j plans of the Washington government
for solving the situation.
No announcement was made here
today as to any further policy.
Administration officials did take oc
casion, however, to say that publislw
ed stories forecasting armed inter
vention were not justified at this time,
that there was nothing in the situation
so far as the Washington administra
tion was coucerned to warrant such an
assumption.
The arrival of Roberto V. Pesquiera,
an emissary from General Carranza,
the constitutionalist chief, raised the
question of whether the Washington
government would receive representa
tions from the constitutionalists.
President Wilson made it clear to
those with whom he conferred, that
i officially the government could not re
ceive any formal representations, but
that in some way or other, the infor
mation which the constitutionalists de
sire to lay before the American gov
ernment would be received.
In that connection it became known
that the constitutionalists at the re
cent conference of the chiefs, decided
not to ask for recognition of belliger
ency, but to request that there be no
interference from the United States
in their efforts to solve the situation
by arms. The constitutionalists want
the embargo on arms removed so that
all factions may be supplied on an
equal footing. The president has been
petitioned to remove the embargo.
The understanding here is that the
three diplomats at Vera Cruz sought,
the conference with Mr, Lind.
It was made plain today that the
president's envoy will not soon return
to the United States as has been re
ported. Secretary Bryan had not received
today from IT. A. Tupper, of the Inter
national Peace Forum, representations
in behalf of the constitutionalists,
which he has agreed to consider unoffi
cially. At the state department to
day it was said that. Dr. Tapper had
no offlciHl status and that Secretary
Bryan, in receiving any communica
tion, does so in an unofficial capa
city. i The battleship Nebraska, enroute to
1 Mexican waters with three other ves
sels of the third division of the At
lantic fleet, was ordered today to
Tampico to join the New Hampshire.
As none of the other ships has been
ordered home that will leave two bat
tleships at Tampico and five at. Vera
Cruz.
Consul Hamm at Durango reports
the constitutionalists in complete con
trol of his district.
A declaration that the policy of the
administration in the Mexican situa
tion would "meet the approval of the
American congress and the American
j people" was made in the senate to
day by Chairman Bacon of the foreign
relations committee.
Senator Bacon while speaking of a
letter read into the record by Senator
Bristow, who said he had received it
from "a friend of 30 years standing"
in Mexico.
The writer urged that the United
States keep hands off and allow Mex
ican factions to fight out their dif
ferences, condemned the neutrality
policy which keeps "thousands of
American soldiers on the Mexican bor
der, and declared that if the United
States intervened by military force it
would mean "only conquest and the
acquisition of Mexican territory, by
the loss of thousands of lives and hun
dreds of millions of money."
"I think I can assure the senate,"
said Senator Bacon, "that nothing is
farther from the thoughts of the peo
ple or the officials of the United States
than the conquest or acquisition of
Mexican territory.
"The time has not yet come when
this matter may be properly discuss
ed, but the time is not far distant
when we must discuSB it. I can give
the assurance that the matter is hav
ing the most careful and conscientious
consideration and whatever may be
done will meet the approval of the
American congress and the American
people."
Terrazas Held Prisoner.
El Paso, Tex., Nov. 3. General Luis
Terrazas, wealthiest man in Mexico,
is reported a prisoner of the Mexican
federal authorities in Juarez.
Military officials in Juarez deny
knowledge of his presence, but the
rumor, is persistent that General Ter
razas and members of his family came
yesterday on the special train that
brought General Francisco Castro and
that Terrazaa was detained in Juarez.
Some members of his family came to
El Paso last night hiiiF are still here.
They decline to talk.
! General Castro took command of
the Juarez garrison last night. Simul
taneously, Guillermo Cruz, mayor of
! Juarez, came to El Paso for some rea
' son and today General Castro an
nounced Luis Comaduran as the new
mayor.
Two hundred and fifty re-inforce-menls
were sent from Juarez to Chi
huahua today. The federals still hold
the city of Chihuahua, according to
official advices in Juarez.

CLOSE TRIAL OF
HARVESTER
TRUST
ARGUMENTS STARTED BY THE GOV
ERNMENT TODAY IN ST. PAUL
IN THE DISSOLUTION CASE
AGAINST THE INTERNATIONAL
HARVESTER COMPANY.
EFFECTIVE DISSOLUTION
IS ASKED BY PROSECUTOR
St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 3. Edwin P.
Grosvpuor, special assistant to Attor
ney Gi neral Mclteynolds, in opeuing
final arguments for dissolution of the
International Harvester company, be
fore the United States district court
here, asked for dissolution in such
manner as to prevent, effectively a
possibility of two or more of the dis
integrated parts coming into owner
ship of companies having common
stockholders.
Mr. Grosveuor declared that the In
ternational Harvester company is of
itself a combination in restraint of
trade in harvesting implements, and a
monopoly, and as such, proper safe
guards should be made by the courts
to prevent, a possible re-establishment.
of Btich monopoly, after dissolution,
by the method of interlocking direc
torates. Mr. Grosvenor pointed out
how the supreme court had applied
the standard or "rule of reason" in
nine cases decided since the court es
tablished the rule in the standard oil
and tobacco decisions, holding every
combination Mnlawful that smothers
competition and monopolizes trade.
Opposing counsel entered the Unit
ed States district court here today for
the final struggle in the government's
suit to dissolve the International Har
vester company, as a monopoly in vio
lation of the Sherman law.
According to an announcement
made this morning, after the certifi
cate nnd report of special examiner
Hobert S. Taylor has been returned to
