NEW YORK LEADING CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR. Republican—Chariot E. Hughes. Democrat—William R. Hearst. Independence League—William R. Hearst. New York, Nov. 3.—The political fampalgt In New York closes tonight with many nveetlngs on both sides, and predictions 6t success by both the Hearst and Hughes managers. At best the result Is purely a matter of guess work. Supporters of Mr. Hughes, the Republican candidate, are confidently claiming his election. The same con fidence Is show by the followers of William n. Hearst. Vetting still fa vors Hughes, but not much reliance Is to be placed in this speculative fea ture of the campaign. Briefly put, the result of naxt Tuesday's election In this state may be said to depend upon the following questions: How will the farmer vote? What will Tammany do in New York f county? Will McCarren forces bolt Hearst in Brooklyn ? Has Hearst got the labor vote as thoroughly “cinched" as his receptions In the manufacturing towns seem to Indicate? How many Republican labor votes will Hearst get up the state? Has Hearst lost the support of the municipal ownership crowd? MASSACHUSETTS. LEADING CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR. Republican—Curtis M. Guild. Jr. Damocratie—John B. Moran. Boston. Mass.. Nov. 3.—Unbiased on lookers believe the outcome of the present campaign In Massachusetts to be more In doubt than has been the casedn this state In many years. The Republican governor. Curtis M. Guild, Is opposed for re-election by the pic turesque district attorney, John B. Moran, who Is running on the triple nomination of the Democrats, Inde pendence league and Prohibitionists. The platform of Moran Is a radical one, aimed chiefly against the cor porations. Governor Guild, u tariff reformer. Is running on a stand-put platform. In Governor Guild's favor are the state's normal large Republi can majority and his own creditable record as governor. Moran’s strength lies chiefly In his personality and his popularity with the labor element. His weakness is the opposition with which he is met by the conservatives of the Democratic party, who regard him us more of a product of Hearstism than of Democracy. National questions have played no part In the contest. It may fairly be said that the predominating Issues ure the two candidates them selves. PENNSYLVANIA. LEADING CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR. Republican—Edwin 8. Stuart. Futioniat—Lewis Emery, Jr. Philadelphia. Pn.. Nov. 3.—With par ty lines asunder in every county, the political situation In Pennsylvania on the eve of the election Is .In the most muddled condition . seen hero since civil war days. Scandals appear to be the chief issue of the campaign. The Democrats and the Lincoln Republi cans, which last nurned party was given birth by the political reform movement that upset Philadelphia a year ago, have fused in an effort to rid the state of the so-called Republi can machine. The Fusion candidate Is lanvis Emery, Jr. The ticket of the regular Republicans is headed by Ed- wfn 8. Stuart, Charge* and counter charges of graft and corruption have been the chief feature of the bam- paign. Charges of colossal graft In connection with the building of the new state capitoL have been sprung on the Republicans. On the other hand, Kmery, the Fusion candidate, bus been embarrassed by his connection with the Pure oil Company. The Fu- slonlsts have made u hard fight and the victory of their forces at the polls next Tuesday would not greatly sur prise those best acquainted with the situation. KANSAS. LEADING CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR. Republican—Edward W. Hoch. Democratic—William A. Harris. Topeka, Kans., Nov. 3.—The Kansas campaign closed today with the chances apparently favoring Republican suc cess. Kdward W. Iloch, the present Republican governor, is a candidate for re-election, tils opponent on the IVm- ocratic picket Is ex-8enntor William A. Harris. The Democrats have brought numerous charges against Hoch, of sympathy with corporation* and of be ing under railroad influence. The chief objection to Harris appears to be that he is virtually it non-resident of the state, his home and business Interests having been in Chicago for some time. IOWA. LEADING CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR. Republican—Albert B. Cummins. Democratic—Claude R. Porter. Des Moines, Iowa, Nov. 3.—Governor Cummins, candidate for re-election, ex presses himself h.s well satisfied with the campaign now cloned and predict* Republican success ut Tuesday's elec tion by a large majority.

In addition to these two there Is a third candidate In the field In tho person of Judge Ben B. Lindsey, famous as the judge of the juvenile court. Jfldge Lindsey ha* pur sued a vigorous campaign and he Is undoubtedly a factor to be reckoned with In figuring on the result of Tues day’s election. The women of Colora do will poll a larger vote than ever before and It is within the range of possibilities that their votes will de termine the result of the contest. Chief Justice Gabbert, Republican, Is a can didate for re-election. He has been charged with being under corporation Influence, and his presence on the tick et Is believed to weaken the chances of Republican success. MINNESOTA. LEADING CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR Democratic—John A. Johnson. Republican—A. L. Col*. Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 3.—The campaign In Minnesota has not arous ed any vast amount ^of enthusiasm. The Republicans appear to he unusu ally apathetic. The contest Is almost without Issue. Governor John A. Johnson, Democrat, Is a candidate for re-election, and is opposed by A. L. Cole, Republican. Governor Johnson enjoys wide personal popularity and his re-election would cause no great umount of surprise. The Republicans probably will All the minor state of fices. WISCONSIN.

In New York and among the great dry goods emporiums Mr. High was well and favorably known. He was one of the largest buyers In the South and his trade and favor were much sought after by Eastern competitors. . It would be almost impossible to estimate the quantity of goods bought by Mr. High from Eastern houses since he be gun business in Atlanta twenty-three years ago at 40 Whitehall street. Business Principles. In his transactions In the commercial world Mr. High was a close adherent to business principles * and from this course he never deviated.

He never made u public speech. .Mr. High was charitable, but little Is known of his charitable deeds except in a general way. It Is known, however that ho his helped substantially hun dreds and hundVeds of people who have applied to him at the store. Those who were closely associated with him say that hardly u day passed but what he waa asked for some contribution toward a fund for a small church, char itable society, destitute or sick people In distress. He was ever ready to as sist worthy cuuses and never turned any applicants away empty-handed.

Emma High, of this city. His estate Is valued at $400,000. Hi* life was Insured for $55,000. He was thrifty and economical and his accu mulations represent the result of hi* own efforts. His life Is a story of ap plication and honest dealings. Great Popularity. Mr. High’s great popularity was at tested by the thousands of inquiries us to his condition during the last few days of his life which came into tho store by telephone and by the shoppers. Every clerk In the store answered ques tions of anxious shoppers from the time the store opened until it closed. One of the department managers 1* quoted as saying that he alono was asked at least 500 times by as many different people of Mr. High’s condi tion. ’’He was known alt over the South.’’ snld this dejiartment manager, “and had friends In nearly every town of any size. The number of people lie has helped In a financial way could not be estimated. He bus given away thousands of dollars to people who came to the store to see him. He never turned a worthy one away emp ty-handed. ‘Til venture to say that there has not been a charitable movement started In Atlanta but what he was In sonic way Identified with It.
