'
St. Petersburg, Russia, Nov. 2
Although the officiate of the
forelkn office declined to dls
riiHH the matter, It la Intimated
in diplomatic circles today that
Russia will withdraw from par-
tleipatlon in the proposed Hal-
kan conference and will refuse
to recognize Austria-Hungary's
annexation of Bosnia and Herz-
govlna.
The rumor Is given the color
of truth by the preparations be-
lug made for a hasty' moblllza-
tlon of Russian forces on the
Balkan frontier. Members of
the Douma say the pea for help
sent out by Servla and Montene-
gro lant week, will be heeded
and that Russia will aid them.

Chicago, Nov. 2. Walter Wcllmun
In the Record-Herald today, says:
"Election week dawns with the re
publican lenders outwarfly confident,
but Inwardly nervous. The democrat
ic managers are hopeful as usual.
Outward . signs point to Taft's tri
umph, but many unsettled conditions
may reverse this prediction.
The result of the Rockefeller Inci
dent is uncertain. There Is no good
reason to believe that Rockefeller's
support of Taft will stampede the
voters to Bryan and yet great anxie
ty exists. The republicans fear Rock
efeller's endorsement will turn
enough votes in Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio to elect Bryan.
X well Informed man from New
York says the endorsement Is not a
trick of the democrats."
In statements Issued today from
headquarters, both parties take an op
timistic view of the situation. The
democrats and republicans are both
claiming Nebraska, by 10,000 plurality.'--

In local political circles by the

as far as the Tribune employes
are concerned.
The straw vote was taken In

every vote was for Bryan Save
one, which went to Debs.
Accord. ng to members of the
