FURNACES N LOW'S PI Democratic Split Will Swell His Vote. GERMANS ARE WON OVER Mayor Had Fears ThisSupport Would Be Lost. ONE CHANCE FOR M'CLELLAN Must PoH an Exceptionally Heavy Vote in Old New York, or He Can not Land the Mayoralty Can- didacy of Dcvery. Lewis Nixon, prominently men tioned as an independent candidate for Mayor of New York, has como out strongly against such a ticket. This leaves the candidates, Seth Low, Fnslonlst; George B. McCIellan, Dem ocrat; William S. Derery, Populist and Labor Unions. Betting on the election Is even. The friction In the Democratic party over the nomination of Grant for Controller and Pomes for President of the Board of Aldermen, has ' greatly Improved the chances of Mayor Low. Dcvery Is expected to poll a vote anywhere from 10,000 to 50,000, which will be mostly Demo cratic McCIellan, the Tammany candidate, is expected to lose in Brooklyn, since the1 Greater New York Democracy has declared It will knife his running-mate. . v NEW YORK, Oct 5. (Special.) "In the 1903 years of the Christian era there has never been a' time when the political situation has been more hopelessly mixed than It Is now." This Is the publlcljexpressed opinion of Hugh McLaughlin, who, although over SO years of age, vstill maintains his pr?p as the loader of the ,"Briokw Djr-. mocracy. Mr. McLaughlin says ItXs too .much foVvhlm. And all the other lead ers, are likewise -in a state of hopeless sumrise. . -PoUticalfsMfts and "changes have comV wlth.as.nudeuness thatyhave left everyone iisplrig .The storm -tiow" centers around Comptroller Edward M. Grout A few flays ago he was probably the most pop ular general in the Fusion army. Now he has been tried by drumhead court martial, stripped of his political epaulets and figuratively sent to Devil's Island, so far as his former associates are con cerned. They want none of him, and the Tammany forces arc beginning to be lieve they have made a bod bargain. It is only a few weeks since Mr. Grout returned from Europe, but since' then he has been busier than a boy with a Water bury watch. His record as Comptroller had been good; his stand as a clear minded nonpartisan was supposedly plalnly defined, and all factions in the Fusion forces were united in the demand that he run again. In fact so popular was ho that had Low not stood for a re nomination his successor would in all probability have been either Grout or "Dis trict Attorney Jerome. Now, If you men tion either of them to a Fuslonlst he wants to fight Duty Calls, and Grout Responds. Grout was offered the nomination for Comptroller by the various Fusion forces, consisting of the Republican party, the Citizens' Union, the Greater New York Democracy and various other minor bodies. He accepted them all, declaring he did not want the office and would really prefer to retire to private life. But when duty called, he added, he was al ways ready to respond. And everybody applauded and everybody was happy. The next development was the an nounced determination of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, to place Mr. Grout and the Fusion candi date for President of the Board of Alder men, Charles V. Pomes, on his ticket When it was clearly shown ho meant It there was the wildest kind of a row. Grout was asked by the Fusionists to declare he would fight Tammany as vig orously as he had two years ago. He declined to promise anything, saying he stood on his record. This pleased no body except Grout and. he manages to disguise his pleasure from even his inti mate friends. In the Democratic city convention Grout and Fornes were placed on the ticket as the running mates of Colonel George B. McCIellan, nominee for Mayor, despite the fact that the Brooklyn Demo crats declared they would not support them at the polls. Brooklyn WiU Knife Them. In Brooklyn the regular Democracy, while declaring its intention to support McCIellan for Mayor, does not conceal Its Intention of supporting the Fusion candidates for the other two offices. 'The Greater New York. Democracy, better known as the Sheehan Democracy, .last year a prominent figure In the Fusion camp, has gone over to Tammany, after a row which split it In two. Only a month ago they unanimously bounced their executive . committee chairman be cause he said a few unkind things about Mayor Low. This unfortunate individual, William Hepburn Russell, hadn't a friend in their ranks then. His only fault was, however, that he was ahead of the times. A pathetic figure In the present mix up Is Charles J. Fornes. President of the Board of Aldermen. Nobody wastes any time making attacks upon him, and he resents It When " R. Fulton Cuttlng; chalrman of the Citizens Union, sent Grout a letter demanding where he stood, he notified Fornes also. 'But all 'Fornes got was a letter-press copy of the other letter, "Dear Grout"-and alL ' Fornes Is a tall 'to the Grout kite, and he gets all' that Is coming to the Comp troller, without enjoying the distinction of- being ablo to fight back. Nobody cares what he says or thinks. Even the political reporters for the New York dallies shun him. A good, bright press agent might do something for Fornes, but the chances are that ho couldn't There would hardly be a display head on Fornes if he committed suicide. Low's Chances Improved, The result of the mixup of the past week has been to improve greatly Mayor Low's chance of re-election. Tho spilt between Tammany and the Brooklyn Democrats is ) bitter that McCIellan Is bound to run very badly in Brooklyn. Only" an excep-. tlonally heavy vote in Manhattan Borough (old New York) can save him. Betting on tho election has already com menced, several large wagers being placed at evens. This makes it appear that In the eyes of the gambling fraternity. Low has as good a chance as McCIellan to win. The fusion chiefs, who have been great ly worried regarding tho probable stand of the German voters, nre now rejoicing be cause tho Staats Zeitung, their recognized organ, has come out boldly and unequivo cally for Low. The Staats Zeitung gener ally shows how the German wind blows, and tho paper's action now Is regarded as indicating that Low will get yotes he was afraid he was going to lose. The latest comedy element in this comic campaign has' been furaisned by ex-Chief of Police Devery, who gravely declines to .allow Grout and Fornes to run on the ticket he leads for Mayor. They aro trim mers," he says, "and I do not believe they are honest and sincere. And I cannot stand for anything that don't" ThcDevery Democracy has selected as Its emblem on the 'Australian ballot a pump, and the battlecry of tho organiza tion, "Get under the pump," has an equi vocal meaning which somo of tho voters are Inclined to resent It sounds too much like the day after the chowder party to please them. j.ne Devery Democracy, by tho way, Is about the only organization that has not indorsed Grout and Fornes, although most of them are now endeavoring to take tho nominations back, and the indications now are that the two misguided fusionists will make the race solely as the candidates of Tammany Hall. The betting is also 2 to 1 that they will be defeated, although, as. stated heretofore, the head of the ticket Is regarded as an even chance. Jerome Pushed to One Side. District Attorney Jerome, who, a short time ago, occupied the center of the stage, has row been pushed far over to one'slde. He -attracted momentary attention by in Vw?tlr.g a few prigju21 hrd names to call Cout, lire iier6l&r was ' so -bus he har.ily pa'd ctl'-ntivrt to him, and Je Tome subsided. The voters must pick a winner from the. following bunch: "Se.thjLow, present xMayor, Independent Republicanxilialf-bartedly supported by some Republicans because. hphnn. sup- pneu enougn places; secreuy iougnt oy the police and firemen because of certain oppressive rules; openly opposed by the Greater New York Democracy, his great friends of two years ago, and the recipi ents of most of the patronage he has given out George B. McCIellan, Tammany candi date, who as Devery quaintly says, "ex pects to get into office on h.Is father's old swon s;" opposed by independent Demo crats because he Is Tammany Leader Mur phy's man; will be knifed by Brooklyn organization Democrats because they do not expect to get anything from. him. William S. Devery, once known as "tho best Chief of Police New York ever had;" the chief campaign argument against Tammany two years ago, now running as an Independent Democrat; supported by many labor organizations and the Popu lists: estimate of probable vote ranges from 10,000 to 50,000, mostly Democratic. For the other two offices Controller and President of the Board of Aldermen, Tammany's candidates are men who have publicly assailed them in most furious fashion for two years; running for re election, they stand on a platform that de clares the city administration of which they were a part was a failure In every sense of the word. The only men supporting them now are those who opposed them two years ago. and their warm friends of 1901 are now (Concluded on Pago 2.) LEADERS IN R. F.

As the convicts at the Utah State Prison at Salt Lake were being locked up for the night, two of them overpowered as many guards, took their keys and released five prison ers.

As a result of a well-organized and partly successful at tempt at a whofesale delivery of prison ers at the Utah State Penitentiary to night, one prisoner was killed, one guard was shot and wounded, another was beaten almost into Insensibility, three prisoners were wounded, and two others under death sentences escaped.

None of these wounded, It Is believed, are seriously hurt A posse, of prison guards with sev eral bloodhounds was promptly started on the trail of the two escaped convicts, but owning to darkness r.nd the wild na ture of the country In the vicinity of the prison, no results are looked for tonight The outbreak occurred about 6:30 P. M., just as the prisoners were being placed In their cells for the night by Guards Wilklns and Jacobs. The affair went through with such vim and precision that It must have been carefully planned be forehand. Take Keys From Guards. Two of the prisoners overpowered Wil klns and Jacobs, the former being shot and slightly wounded and the latter frightfully beaten. The convicts took the prison keys from the guards and re leased five other prisoners, who had al ready been locked up. The seven pris oners then compelled Guard Wllkins, not withstanding his injuries, to march at their head and with the assistance of lad ders found near the workshop, proceeded to scale the wall. Wllkins was made to ascend first As the first convict reached the top Guard Naylor, who was on the south wall, opened fire. This was the signal for a general alarm, and several guards who were in tho office quickly seized their guns and hastened to the THE GREAT NEW YORK POLITICAL BATTLE Fusionists. Charles F. scene.

The other five convicts had succeeded in reaching the ground, outside the wall when they were fired upon by other guards. Abe Majors . was shot In the arm and fell to the ground, crying with pain. Haworth was' also shot and fell, but quickly arose and continued his flight Waddell ywas shot In th6 leg. Lynch escaped uninjured. It is believed! After running about 100 yards from the wall, Haworth dropped a rope mado from blankets which was found stained with blood. At the foot of the wall were found several cartridges which the convicts dropped as they came over. Two . of tho prisoners were armed with revolvers. Where they secured the weap ons Is not known.

To show that it intends to occupy Manchuria permanently, Russia Is hastening the construction of exten sive government buildings, and an other gunboat has been added to tho the fleet at Niu Chwang, and Is ob taining much valuable real estate at ridiculously low prices by official pressure. As regards Japan, officials at St. Petersburg disclaim the slightest sentiment of hostility, but .the move ments In the Orient indicate other wise. TvIU CHWANG, Manchuria, Oct 9. The troops, of the Russian garrison, headed by their band, playing national airs, paraded the principal streets of the foreign and Chinese settlements today, ostentatiously as though to emphasize the fact that the Russians are still the governors of this port. The civil administrator, M. Grosse, today stated he had received no instruc tions regarding withdrawals. His as sistants freely assert that a permanent occupation is intended. In speaking with a Consul who called today to inquire re garding Russia's intention the officials treated the question of evacuation as a joke.
