7 DRIFT OF SEflTlEfiT IS GIVEN ANALYSIS New York Hughes Alliance Fig ures as Given Out Make k. . Good Showing. "LABOR VOTE" WILL DIVIDE New Vork Expected to Give Repute lican Nominee Majority of 100,- 000 Membership Largely Men Not Republicans In 1012. NEW YORK. Nov. 4. (Special.) Philip J. McCook, president of the New Tork Hughes Alliance, made the fol lowing statement today: "Ninety per cent of the Progressives of 19ia will vote for Hughes. "Between 10 per cent and 12 per cent of those who voted for Wilson In 1912 will vote for Hughes. "The drift of the Taft vote of 1912 to Wilson is Inconsiderable. "The Independents are In very large numbers for Hughes. "The labor vote will as usual be di vided, and of it Mr. Hughes will receive at least the usual share which goes to Republican candidates. "New York will give at least 100,000 majority for Hughes, -and I shall be rather surprised if it is not nearer 160.000. "The HugTies Alliance In this state has more than 175,000 members. From a careful analysis of our membership recently made, the following signifi cant facts appear: "Thirty-eight per cent, or 66,500, are laborers. "Thirty-one per cent, or 5 250, are clerks, salesman and buyers. "Our electoral enrollment shows that In New York ftate Governor Hughes has the friendship and eupport of an extraordinary number of thoso who are dependent for their living on their daily wage. "Our nnalysls also shows that far more tha i half of our membeis did i-ot vot9 the Fepub'ican ticket In t)13." ISSUE MIXED IX CALIFORNIA Prohibition and Senatorship Share in Political Interest. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5. The last shots In the 1916 political campaign have been fired in California, and the champione of the various men and measures rested tonight with full con fidence of their success at the polls Tuesday. An unusually 'heavy regis tration, even for Presidential years, has added to the interest and uncertainty of the election. Prohibition and the race between Governor Johnson. Republican, and George S. Patton, Democrat, for United States Senator, were the issue in Cali fornia that most overshadowed inter est in the Presidential contest- While old-line Republicans and Governor Johnson and his aides have advocated hi election and predicted that Hughes would carry the state. President Wilson has received stalwart support from his own party, and his election has been urged by prominent Progressives, no tably Rudolph Spreckels, president of the First National Bank here, and Rep resentative Kent. An added interest in the political sit uation was the statewide campaign of women Hughes supporters from the nonsuffrage states. They were met, however, and opposed by an organiza tion of California women known as the All Parties League for Wilson. Extensive campaigning has been In dulged In for and against the two pro hibition amendments, one of which pro poses making California completely dry and the other aiming at partial prohi bition. The entire Lower House of the Legislature is to be elected, and in the Tapper House 21 members are to be chosen. COLORADO ESTIMATES DIFFER Confident Predictions Are Made by Both Headquarters. DENVER, Nov. 5. Confident predic tions of victory for the state and Na tional tickets were made at both Demo cratic and Republican headquarters here tonight. President Wilson, it was declared at Democratic headquarters, would carry Colorado by 40.000. and a plurality for Julius C. Gunter, nominee for Governor, of 20,000 was predicted. This, it was added, would include a 15.000 lead in Denver. At Republican headquarters a 20.000 plurality for tr. Hughes was claimed, while Governor Carlson was expected to lead his ticket with a plur ality of at least 25,000. Dry workers, secure in the indorse ment of both parties of Colorado's anti liquor laws, are devoting the closing hours of the campaign to efforts to de feat the so-called "beer amendment." This amendment would permit the manufacture and sale in original pack ages of beer in Colorado. NEBRASKA HAS LIQUOR FIGHT W. J. Bryan Has Made Vigorous FJght for Dry Amendment. OMAHA, Nov. 5. With both Demo crats and Republicans claiming victory in next Tuesday's election, and the pre diction freely made that the prohibition amendment will carry, Nebraska settled down to await the results of the elec tion. Besides interest in the Ns '.tonal and Ftate tickets, a heavy war has been waged on both -sides of the liquor question. William J. Bryan has campaigned throughout the state in favor of the amendment, addressing the voters to support only those- legislative candi dates who would enforce the amend ment. The prohibition amendment was de feated in Nebraska in 1880 by a majori ty of 29,653. BOTH SIDES CLAIM MONTANA Democrats Pnt Plurality at 25,000; Republicans at 20,000. HELENA. Mont., Nov. 5. Wilson will carry Montana by at least 25.00J. ac cording to a forecast made today bv Bruce Kremer, Democratic National committeeman. O. M. Harvey, chair man of the Republican State Commit te, claims the state for Hughes by 15.000. Both parties are claiming victorv for the state tickets. Hugh Wells, chair man Democratic State Committee, says Governor Stewart is certain of re-election, v. Tne prohibition question Is one of the big issues of the'election and both the wets and drys are claiming victory by varying pluralities. Senatorship Dominates In Nevada. RENO. Nev., Nov. 5. Interest in the three-cornered Senatorial fight in Ne vada almost has overshadowed the Presidential contest. Senator K. Pitt man, Democrat, is opposed by Samuel Piatt, Republican, and A. Grant Miller, Socialist. Opposition to the Pittman land bill has been the chief topic of the campaign. HUGHES CAMPAIGN IS CLOSED Nominee Confident, - but Has No Statement to Make. NEW YORK, Nov. 5. Both Demo crats and Republicans profess entire confidence in the outcome of the voting Tuesday. Final orders have gone out from the headquarters here of the Na tional committees to the chiefs in. other states, but instructions will be trans mitted tomorrow to. sub-chiefs and lieutenants all the way down to he precinct managers. Charles E. Hughes, the Republican Presidential candidate, who will remain here until after election, announced to night that he considers his campaign closed and that he has no further state ment to make. Ho told the few callers he had, however, that he felt sure of victory. The Republican nominee will vote Tuesday morning from the hotel here, which is his legal residence. The poll ing place will be an Eighth-avenue laundry. Neither Vance C. McCormick, the Democratic national chairman, nor William R. Willcox, the Republican chairman, had statements to make to day. President Wilson's final message to state and county chairmen, telegraphed from Long Branch, was made public at Democratic headquarters, without comment. It was said to speak for Itself. Frederick C. Tanner, chairman of the New York Republican state committee, predicted that 24 Congressional candi dates in this state would be elected by the Republicans and 17 by the Demo crats. In the two remaining districts, he said, the chances favor the Republi cans. He repeated his earlier nronhe- sies of the success of the national ticket. "The latest canvasses received by the Republican state committee confirm my statement of last Monday that Mr. Hughes will carry the state by more than 100,000," Mr. Tanner said, "and that Governor Whitman. William M. Calder and the entire Republican ticket will be elected by substantially the same pluralities." Slate Chairman Harris, of the Demo crats, added nothing to the prediction he previously had made that President Wilson and the state ticket will carry New York by a large plurality. It was reported that Tammany Hall estimates indicate President Wilson will carry the city by at least 85.000. The Democrats contend this will be more than enough to offset the Repub lican plurality upstate. FIGHT FOR GOVERNOR CLOSE State Ticket Situation in Iowa Over shadows National Issue.

BANDITS OCCUPY JIMINEZ Dr. Fisher, Said to Have Been Slain, Is Described as Elderly Man in Feeble Health Chihuahua City Reported Quiet. EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 5. Parral has been abandoned by the Carranza garri son under command of General Luis Herrera, according to passengers ar riving in Juarez tonight by train from Chihuahua City. Nothing could be learned, however, of the Americans there, they said. The report that Dr. Fisher, an Ameri can, had been killed at Santa Rosalia by Villa bandits could not be confirmed officially in Chihuahua, according to the passengers, who said the news was brought to Chihuahua by a German. It was said that the bandits there killed some Chinese and Arabs. Assyrians and other traders from the Near East. Dr. Fisher was described as an el derly man. in feeble health, who had married a Mexican woman and owned one of the finest houses In. Santa Rosalia. General Herrera was ordered to pro ceed to Escalon. a station on the Mexl can Central Railway some distance be low Jlminez. and the bandits still oc cupy Jiminez. according to the passen gers. , ' Conditions were reported quiet in Chihuahua City. Four Americans arrived at Juarez from Chihuahua City, but could add nothing definite to the reports curre-t in Chihuahua. The garrison at Chihuahua City was estimated at 8000 men. It was said that the placing of artillery on a train there as a movable battery gave rise to a rumor, which was officially de nied, that the city was to be abandoned by the Carranza forces. General Gonzales, in Juarez, said to day he had ordered the execution at Madera of the Villa bandits captured at San Geronimo. 4 GIRL SLAVES RESCUED Young Chinese Girls Found by Po lice Who Batter Down Doors. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 5. Four Chi nese girls, aged from nine to 16 years, two of them alleged to have been held as slaves in a house in the Chinese quarter, were rescued today by a posse of police who battered their way into the place. As a result of the raid Lee Sue Chung and Lee Shee were taken into custody charged with keeping a disreputable house. Two of the rescued girls told the police that they had been brought to the United States recently and had passed the immigration test on the rep resentation that they were the daugh ters of merchants. . On their arrival they were sold and had been held pris oners, they said, in the house where the police found them. The other girls were daughters of the Keeper or tne house.
