NEW YORK, Nov. 6.- On the eve of

dence In the result of the balloting
tomorrow -was expressed In the camps
of the rival Republican and Democratic
forces.'
Political workers had completed their
tasks, their leaders had issued the usual
final forecasts and nothing remained
but the work of bringing out the vote.
The standard bearers of the leading
parties remained quietly at their homes
tonight. President Wilson at "shadow

hotel in New York. Surrounded only
by immediate members of their fami
lies, the candidates plan to receive the
election returns at their homes. Mr.
Wilson will go to Princeton tomorrow
and vote at the old fire engine house
near the Princeton campus. Mr. Hughes
will vote in a laundry on Forty-fourth
street. New York, near his hotel head
quarters. ,
Fair Weather Predicted.
The weather man has promised gen
erally fair and moderate temperatures
in most parts of the country for elec
tion day.
Officials to be elected follow:
President and Vice-President.
Thirty-three United States Senators.
Pour hundred and thirty-five mem
bers of the House of Representatives
Thirty-five Governors.
Legislators and other- minor state
officers.
Several states will vote on certain
amendments, chiefly of local interest
The states of Michigan. Idaho, Mis
souri. Mofctana, Utah. Nebraska, South
Dakota, California. Maryland and Ar
kansas will vote on the prohibition
question, an Issue that has - loomed
large on the political horizon for some
years past. The territory of Alaska
also will vote on this question. In
Arizona an amendment for the aboli
tion of capital punishment will be up
for popular decision.
Woman's, Vote to Be Factor.
Woman's part In the Presidential
election is one of the outstanding fea
tures. In one-quarter of the 48 states
women have the vote this year. The
12 states are Wvomlno- pma, i tt. ,
Idaho, Washington, California, Arizona.
Kansas, Oregon. Nevada. Montana and
Illinois. The women in the last six
states have the vote for President this
year for the first time. The interest
political leaders take in this vote can
be appreciated when it is seen that the
states Involved have 91 electoral votes,
a little more than one-sixth of the'
electoral colleges' total vote.
Three women. Miss Jeanette Rankin
of Montana. Republican; Mrs. Josephine
Fernald. of California. Democrat,
and Mrs. Frances Axtell. of Washing
ton, Democrat, are running for Congress.
If either Is elected her state will be'
the first of the Nation to send a woman
to Congress. The Progressives of the
First Colorado Congressional .District
also nominated a woman, Hattle K.
Howard, but she has since withdrawn!
NEW YORK CAMPAIGN EXDED
Candidates for, Governor In Field
Almost TTntil Polls Open.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6. With Governor
Whitman and Samuel Seabury, Repub
lican and Democratic candidates for
Governor, respectively, making final
appeals to the voters. In this city, the
New York State campaign closed to-r-isrht
only a few hours before the polls
opened.
Because New York Is regarded as a
pivotal state In the Presidential elec
tion, chief popular interest in" tomor
row's voting centered in the contest
between President Wilson and Charles
K. Hughes.
Forecasts tonight of the result to
morrow depended upon whether the
person -who made the prediction was
a Democrat or a Republican. Both
side? agreed that the tide would be
turned for the National ticket by those
who voted as Progressives four years
ogo. The combined Taft and Roosevelt
vote in 1912 was 845.580. as compared
with 655.573 for Wilson. In Greater
New York, which the Republicans con
cede will return a Democratic plurality
this year, the Taft-Roosevelt vote to
gether exceeded by 3092 that cast for
President Wilson.
While the Republicans contend the
greater part of those who supported
Roosevelt four years ago will swing
to Hughes this year, the Democrats
scoff at their claims.

vote about 65,000, approximately
70 per cent.
At the close of the hottest Presiden
tial campaign this state has known
since the McKInley-Bryan fight of
1896. an unbiased view of the political
situation leaves little doubt that Oregon
today will vote for Charles Evans
Hughe for President.
The majority may not be large, but
It will be safe. - How large It will be
depends to great extenf on Multnomah
County,' which Is claimed by both the
Republicans and Democrats.
Swing to Hashes Pronounced.
Up to three weeKs ago the trend in
Multnomah County appeared Demo
cratic But in these three weeks there
has been a pronounced swing toward
Hughes. On the eve of election It does
not look as if the county will go heavily
either way. with the probabilities
Etrongest that It will go Republican.
This will be disputed by strong Wil
son partisans, but impartial straw
votes, such as the poll of the New York
Herald, have shown it to be the trend,
nevertheless. Wilson supporters are
depending on a solid labor vote to carry
the county, but no person or combina
tion has ever yet been able to deliver
the labor vote solidly, and there is no
reason to believe ' that this year will
prove an exception.
This fact stands out indisputably:
The Republicans can lose Multnomah
County and still carry the state bv a

WINTER HATS ARMY-LIKE
Women Will Wear Texan Sombrero
Type Instead of European.
NEW YORK. Nov. 6. (Special.) To
please American women, who demand
hats In harmony with the patriotic
spirit of the time, leading milliners or
this city are following the military
mode in creating a design suitable for
Winter wear. The chic steel helmet
effect, turbans and pompoms, reminis
cent of the trenches and -worn by many
fashionable women, are to be super
seded by the more utilitarian Texan
sombrero in a smaller design, closely
resembling the campaign hat of the
United States marines.
In the effort of the New York de
signers to establish a distinctively
American style devoid of. foreign sug
gestion, the headgear of the "soldier
and sailor too" has proved a desirable
model.

ARBITRARY CUTS EQUALIZED
Mr. Daly Scheduled to Spring
Surprise This Morning.
MAYOR OPPOSED TO PRUNE
Employes to Be Dropped in Every
Department and Will Include
Approximately 15 Police
men and 12 Firemen.
Fifteen or 18 policemen -and detect
ives. 13 or 13 firemen, part of the
street-cleaning crews and crews that
operate the city's Incinerator, about 40
of the present arc lights on street cor
ners, employes drawing about $7000 la
salaries in the Public Works Depart
ment, about $10,000 worth of the ma
terials for public Improvements and
several employes In the. Park Bureau
will be cut off December 1 under the
1917 budget arrangement definitely de
cided on yesterday by the City CounciL
In spite of these cuts, which mean a
big and important curtailment of the
service in almost every line given by
the city, and the cutting out of prac
tically everything in the way of spe
cial appropriations for next year, the
city will have by far the heaviest tax
levy in its history.-.
Levy Set at Mill.
The Council definitely decided to fix
the levy at 9 mills, which is .7 of a mill
more than the levy for the present year.
The Increase will be necessary to make
up a part of the deficit the Council
ha,s created in the last two years by
making annual tax levies aimed to look
good to the taxpayer and voter, but
insufficient to provide ample funds to
keep the city's head above water f i-.
nancially.
The cuts in all lines were announced
at a meeting of the Council yesterday
at which each Commissioner presented
his budget of estimates with 5 per cent
trimmed out in accordance with the
order of the Council majority at Its
meeting last Friday. Another meeting
will be held this morning to check over
the figures.
Mr. Daly to Spring Somet-lng.
At the meeting this morning Com
missioner Daly will attempt once more
to gain the title of champion economist
by trying to put through still more
cuts. The title was grabbed from hiin
Friday by Commissioner Dieck when
the latter got advance Information that
Mr. Daly had an elaborate programme
of economy which he intended pushing"
against departments other than his
own, but lost out when Mr. Dleck beat
him to It and proposed the general 6
per cent cut all around.
On leaving the Council chamber yes
terday afternoon Mr. Daly unfolded his
plan to a friend and said he purposely
had the meeting of today arranged for
this morning to favor an afternoon
newspaper which is striving to "pin the
economy title, so essential in pre-elec-tin
times, on Mr. Daly. Mr. Daly's at
tack this morning will be directed
against Mr. Dieck.
Segregation Is Made.
The 9-mlll tax will raise a total next
year of $2,565,000. This will allow
something like $200,000 to apply to the
fund for getting the city partly out of
the hole financially. The rest will go
to tbo payment of operating expenses
and Interest and sinking fund as fol
lows: General operation. 7.3 mills; in
terest on bonds. 1.2 mills; bonded In
debtedness sinking fund. .4 of 1 mill;
firemen's relief and pension fund. .1 of
1 mill. The 9-mill levy was adopted by
vote of all the Commissioners but
Mayor Albee. who voted no on the .
ground that the crippling of the dis
service should not be tolerated.
The levy provided nothing at s'l for
the O.-W. R. & X. grade crossing elimi
nation work on -the East Side. Plans
are being considered for financing this
in some other way. Commissioner Dleck
said at yesterday's meeting that he
thought possibly it might be done, but
It is only passing the burden of pay
ment to the next city administration:
but the Council left all appropriations
for this purpose out.
Arbitrary Cut US.OOO.
The departmental cuts as reported
yesterday by each Commissioner -under
the 6 per cent pruning- plan totaled
$113,000. Mayor Albee had $55,000 to
cut out of the fire, police and health
bureaus. He says he has cut as deeply
as possible Into the Item of supplies
and materials In each bureau and left
the rest to be trimmed off of the salary
roll.
Between four and six detectives will
be put In their places as policemen,
thus cutting down the number of de
tectives. Possibly a few more regu
larly classified detectives will be cut
off. Then policemen will be cut off
in the order of juniority, the last men
employed being the first to go. Ths
Mayor will go down the line on this
uasis. cutting out policemen and detect
ives as long as cuttlnir Is necessary.
He estimates there wli; be 15 or IS
men dropped.
Mayor Oppon.es Cut.
The tame order leaves $11,700 in
salaries for firemen to be dropped. This
means 12 or 13 of them, and also means
