NEW YORK.
LCADING CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNOR.
Republican—Charles E. Hughes.
Democrat—William R. Hsarst.
Independence League—William R.
Hearat.
New York, Nov. 3.—The political
cnmpalp'. In New York close* tonight
with many nteeiloge on both aides, and
prediction* of success by both the
Hearat and Hughe* manager*. At beat
the result Is purely a matter of guess
work. Supporter* of Mr. Hughes, the
Republican candidate, are confidently
claiming hi* election. The same con
fidence I* show by the follower* of
William R. Hearst. Betting atilt fa-
Tor* Hughes, but not much reliance Is
to be placed in this speculative fea
ture at the campaign. Briefly put, the
result of neat 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
county?
Will McCarran forces bolt Hearat In
Brooklyn?
Has Hears: got the labor vote ns
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.
Dsmocrstio—John B. Moran.
Boaton. Mann., Nov. 3.—Unbiased on
lookers believe the outcome of the
5 resent campaign In Massachusetts to
e more In doubt than has been the
case Ip this state In many year*. 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 nnd Prohibitionists.
The platform of Moron Is a radical
fine, aimed chiefly against the cor-
|mnations. Governor Guild, a tariff
reformer, is running on a stand-pat
platform. Jn Governor Guild’s favor
are the state’s normal large Republi
can majority nnd his own creditable
record ns governor. Moran’s strength
lies chiefly In his personality nnd 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 as
more of a product of Henrstlsm than of
Democracy. National questions have
played no part in the contest. It may
fairly be said that the predominating
Issues are the two candidates them
selves.
PENNSYLVANIA.

attention lias been paid as usual t<> lo

COLORADO.
LEADING CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNOR.
Republican—Henry A. Buchtel.
Damooratio—Alva Adam*.
Independent—Ban B. Lindsay.
Denver, Colo., Nov. 3.—The present
campaign In Colorado Is one of tha
most picturesque waged anywhere In
the country this year. Corporation
domination and other Issues are to the
fore. The Democratic candidate for
governor Is Alva Adam*, who has held
the sent before. The KepubUcnn < andl-
bcrnatorlal conleet. Is overshadowed by
the fight for the senalorshlp.
CALIFORUIA.
LEADING CANDIDATES

Republican—James M. Gillett.
Democratic—Theodore A. Boll.
Independence Loaguo—W. H. Lang-

orshlp of California Is on, with former
Congressman James N. Glltett, Repub
lican; former Congressman Theodore
A. Bell, Democrat, and W. H. I-sngcion,

In the field In the person of Judge Hen
B. Lindsey, famous as the Judge of the
Juvenile court. . Judge Lindsey has pur
sued u vigorous campaign and he Is
undoubtedly a factor to he 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 la within the range of
possibilities that their votes will de
termine the result of,the contest. Chief
Justice Oabbert, Republican, Is a can
didate for re-election. He ha* been
charged with being under corporation
Influence, and his presence on the tick
et la believed lo weaken the chsnce*
of Republican success.
MINNESOTA.
LEADING CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNOR
Democratic—John A. Johnson.
Republican—A. L. Colo. #
Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 3.—The
campaign In Minnesota hit* not arous
ed any vast amount of enthusiasm.
The Republicans appear to tie unusu
ally nputhetlc. 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 nnd
his re-election would cause no great
amount of surprise. The Republicans
probably will flit the minor state of
fices.
WISCONSIN.-
LEADING CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNOR
Republican—James 0, Davidson.
Democratic—John A. Aylward.
Milwaukee. Wl*., Nov. 3.—Despite
the strife which IJiFollette stirred up

doubtful. The Republicans have united

the chief Issue of the campaign. The
’ Democrats and the Lincoln Republi
cans, which last named party wus
given birth by tho political reform
movement that upset Philadelphia a
year ago, have fused In an effort to
rid the state of tho so-called Republi
can machine. The Fusion candidate Is
Lewis Emery. Jr. The ticket of the
regular Republicans Is heuded by Ed
win 8. Stuart. Gharges und counter
charges of graft ami corruption have
been the chief feature of the cam
paign. Charges of colossal graft Jn
connection with the building of the
new state capltnl have been sprung
on the Republicans. On the other
hand ( Emery, the Fusion candidate, has
been embarrassed by his connection
with the Pure Oil Company. The Fu-
alonists have made a hard fight und
the victory of their forces at the polls
next Tuesday would not greutly sur
prise those best acquainted with the
situation.

Summerville, Ga., Nov. 3.—Although
ore than fifty witnesses have been
examined by the prosecution of the
Mrs. Hooks murder mystery, nothing of
sensational nature developed In the
first day’s hearing.
The c\nse was called here yesterday
morning, when tho preliminary hearing
of ex-Vos*muster G. L. Groover, of
Chelsea, this county, charged with
sending n bottle of medicine through
the mail to Mrs. R. K. Hooks, a doso
from the contents of which, It Is al
leged. caused her death October 2. Mr.
Groover, who Is a prominent merchant
if this place, was arrested on October
10, charged with the' crime, and has
been held since, awaiting a preliminary
hearing.
Three Justices Hearing Case.
The case was called yesterday morn
ing anil is being heard before three
justices, namely, J. - M. Rush, C. C.
’aineron and G. A. Ragland.
The prosecution Is being conducted
by Solicitor General \V. A. Denny, as
sisted by Hon. Scab Wright, of Rome,
and Lumpkin & Wright, of Rome.
The defendant , Is represented by
Judge Cullen, of Summerville, nnd
Judge Frank Copeland, of Rome.
When the case was called yesterday
the court house was thronged with
people from the surrounding neighbor
hood eager to hear what might develop
of a sensastlonal nature.
Fifty Witnesses Examined.
The case was continued over till this
morning, after 60 witnesses had beet*
examined by the prosecution. The
witnesses were all neighbors, and the
testimony was directed along the line
of establishing a chain of circum
stances which would show the relation
existing between Groover and the dead
woman, and a cause for him being sus
pected of the deed.
No expert testimony was Introduce**
duping the day and nothing of a sen*'
national nature developed. The prose
cution will continue the examination
of witnesses today.
Both Were Young.
Groover is a young man several years
tinder thirty, who has prospered well
and whose prospects seemed bright. He
has enjoyed the general confidence of
the people, has conducted a good mer
cantile business, and has been u man,
so far ns known, of exemplary habits.
He has been married several years, but
has no children.
Mrs. Hooks, the alleged murdered
woman, was also young, ■ not over
twenty-five. However, sho had been
married about nine years, havi ig en
tered that state at a very early age.
She left five or six children. She wn
well known and well liked In the coni
munlty, and until recently, when th#
sensational suit against Groover for
$10,000 damage became known, nothing
against her good name was ever heard.

With the death of Mr. High. -Atlanta
loses one of Its pioneer department
store merchants, and one of Jts most
public spirited and enterprising citi
zens. His death will be a distinct loss
to the mercantile world. Living as he
did in a community whore he built up
his business within the past twenty-
six years, his nutue became a house
hold word and It was known to every
child In Atlantu.
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 nnd
his trade nnd 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
gan business In Atlanta twenty-three
years ago at 40 YY’hltehall street.
Buzinoss Principles.
In his transactions in tho commercral
world Mr. High was a close adherent
to business principles and from this
course he never deviated. Being thor
oughly business-like in all of Ills deal
ings never made him enemies and he
was well liked by all with whom ho
came In contact. The customers of
his store can be found all over the
South.
Next to Mr. High’s immediate Inter
ests the interests of Atlanta were al
ways next. He took a pride In Ills
home city In which he made his suc
cess as a merchant. Ho was Identified
with every public movement for the
upbuilding and betterment of Atlantu.
He was n contributor to every fund
for furthering the city's Interests and
responded readily and liberally to ev
ery subscription started.
Mr. High was one of the principal
promoters and founders of the North
Avenue Presbyterian Church and the

one of the handsomest stone edifices In
this city was begun with a subscrip
tion of $1,000 made by him. The be

a public speech.
Air. High was charitable, 'but little
Is known of Ills charitable deeds except
in a general way. It is known, however,
that he has helped substantially hun
dreds and hundreds of people who have
applied to him at the store. Those
who were closely associated with him
say that hardly a day passed but what
he was asked for sonio 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 causes and never turned
