Ropro- LONDON, Jan. 17. That 115,000, 000 Is being used In the Interests of a conservative victory In the parlia mentary election's now taking place was tho grave allegation made today by members of the liberal party. It was further declared that this fund had been collected from widely different sources, Including organiza tions that would bo benefited by a protective tariff. The liberals aro up In arms over tho reported discovery of fraudulent methods of vote-getting. They declare that wholesale corruption of TOters Is going on. Seven Irish nationalists, including John Redmond, were nominated to day without opposition and declared elected. Big Fight Todar. With the knowledge that today's voting in 15 London constituencies and 4 prOorlnclal constituencies en titled to a total representation of 104 members would decide beyond all doubt the control of the next parlia ment, the conservatives and the lib erals resumed their campaigning to day tbet moment the polls were open ed. Present Indications are that the liberals will wla a majority of the representatives, while tho. conserva tives will poll a majority of the pop ular vote. This peculiar division is easily possible because of the exist ing English system of constituencies. Calculating the results of the elec tion to date, It wa9 estimated today that the conservatives will have to Cain 135 Beats to be assured of n majority in the next parliament. Even though they realized this increase their majority would be but one mem ber. A recapitulation of the balloting nnd results of last Friday and Sat urday Indicates to those who are con vorsnnt with the situation that tho losses sustained by bo liberals were caused in a great degree by tho anti house of lords plank of their plat form. In tho 74 constituencies voting last Saturday tho liberals lost 15 seats, Including two seats lost by their al lies, tho laborltes. If this percentage is maintained the liberals will havo but 284 parliamen tary seats In a total of 670.

Glenn IT. Cnrtiss, who, with Paul ban nnd Hamilton, has been offered $50,- 000 by San Diego to fly from Los Angeles to San Diego,, and an addi tional $3,000- to land on the top of the Grant hotel, in courso of con struction there, announced that lib would attempt the 128-miIo flight, if tho Wright suit, in Uew York' JidnJt prevent. lie added that lib onIcT know tonight whether that wouldl prevent. "I shall not try, however," he said, "to land on top of tho Grantr. hotel, despite the oxtra $1000 offer ed mo for that. It would be too dan gerous. I shall probably fly ver tho ocean, equipping my biplane -with pontoons for use in case of any accident. Panlhan would bo unabla to make so long a flight in liia ma chine." Curtiss also said that he would not try to fly back to Los Angeles, but would make several short flights while in San Diego. Whether Hamilton and Paullmn will attempt the flight is conjcctursL. Both were noncommittal. ' Much interest is being taken Fm the statement that Paulhan. will ..at tempt to wrest the MicheKn cnprfr. Latham some ,tirae today.

Pnulhan stated that he would" travel 200 miles in his Farman bi plane before ho descended. The day is ideal for record-brealc-ing flights. Irish In Power. This condition would slvo Irish na tionalist party tho balance of pow- ovor tho way the election seems to bo going. The real reason why the elections hero are hold "Tally for two weeks In stead of on one fixed date as in oth er countries Is because pollco aro re quired at every polling place. The majesty of tho law has to be presont even if only a dozen votes are polled and nt every constituency, howover email. Tho law governing elections is an ancient ono and because tho advantage of tho first contest Is al ways with tho govornmont no gov ernment will revlso tho regulations.
