EXPECTING VICTORY IN
TUESDAY S ELECTION
President Will Visit Princeton i
to Vote, but Will Get Re
turns in His Study at
Shadow Lawn

By AMoeiated Frew.,
\EW YORK. Nov. 6.—President Wood
raw Wilson and Charlo* E. Hughes, can
didates -If the dominant parties for pres
ident. remained quietly at their homes
today recuperating from tae labors of a
long campaign The last word sent for
ward bv them to the people was an ex
pression that each felt confident of vlc-
Fresident Wilson planned to remain
j.iietlv at home at Shadow Laam today
.nd his only activity tomorrow will be
a trip to Princeton to cast his ballot.
Tomorrow night, with only the members
of his family about him. he will receive
the retur is in his study at Shadow Lawn.
Mr. Hughes remained at his hotel
early in the forenoon but later visited
the national Republican headquarters
chiefly, it was stated, to thank the work
ers for their efforts in his behalf.
He intended to take a drive through
the parks this afternoon and spend the
rest of the dt£ quietly at his hotel.
Tomorrow he will vote in his home ais-(
trict here and tomorrow night he will
get -the returns in his hotel rooms. Like
Hr. Wilson he plans to have only im
mediate members of his family with
him when the returns come.
Political headquarters here still pre
sented scenes of activity today.
laist reports from the political bat
tlefield were received and final Instruc
tion sent. Both the chairmen had lit
tle to add to their forecasts issued Sat
urday night.
CLAIMS OF CHAIRMEN.
Republican Chairman Willcox then
predicted Hughes would receive at least
’OO majority in the electoral college
while Democratic Chairman McCormick
/gave Mr. Wilson 364 votes. The neces
-ary elective vote in the college is 266.
The larger participation of women as
voters in a presidential campaign and
the congressional elections are of keen
interest to politicians generally. The re
turns from the states in which women
will vote, it is admitted, will be closely
and anxiously scanned. So far as con
gress is concerned a full house of rep
resentatives and 33 United States sena
tors will be elected. The total member
ship of the house is 435 and the neces
sary majority is 318. In the senate the
present membership is 93 and the neces
sary majority is 94. In all 35 new sen
ators will take their seats next March.
<Jf these the Republicans elected two at
the September election in Maine.
Forty-two of the states will elect
state officials tomorrow in addition to
at tonal congressional candidates. Os
t.veaa -tales 35 will elect governors.
Fair weather and moderate tempera
ture is forecast generally for election
day and if thia prediction holds true vir
tually a full rote. It is expected, will be
•ast throughout the country.
STATE CANDIDATES BUSY.
The day before election found both
Repubican and Democratic candidates
*or the governorship making final ap
peals, although victory was claimed for
each by the respective - rial rm an. Both
-elected this city for the scene of their
ast campaign activity .
Governor Whitman nad on his pro
gram four noon-day speeches and five
onight. Samuel Seabury after after
noon talks in Rockland county, will
return to New York for an automobile
-’reel corner tour of the west side.
Still predicting heavy pluralities for
•heir respective tickets the state chair
men were busy today making final ar
rangements for watching the polls to
see that the election laws are observed.
The nnal forecast of Republican State
Chairman Tanner is that Governor
Whitman will carry the state by more
hat ’.00.09*. Democratic State Chair
man Harris and the Tammany leaders
are giving out no specific figures offl
'ally but claims that the Democratic
plurality* in New York city will be so
heavy that it will overcome the Re
publican plurality upstate.
Women of Illinois
Vote for First Time
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.—Although the
state. congressional and local cam
paigns in Illinois was practically closed
Saturday night, leaders and candidates
of the various parties spent today for
he moat part in perfecting organlza
ion in the wards and precincts. A
few of the candidates made speeches
out the chief activity was left to the
r-arty workers.
No statemepta were available from
.he chairmen of either the Republican
or Democratic state committees today.
Chairmen of both Rep u oilcan and Dem
u'ratic committees claim the state will
ast its vote for their respective can
didates for president by practically the
■<ame plurality. 159,000. The Republl

DDUBTFUL STITES TO
JOIN WILSON COLUMN
Democratic Chairman Says
Situation Looks Better Now
Than When Campaign
Closed Saturday Night
■Y. BAX.PH SMITH.
NEW YORK. Nov. 6.—“ Boys, it looks
even better today than it did Saturday,
when I issued my formal estimate giv
ing the president not less than 364 elec
toral votes,” saiu Cnairman Vance Mc-
Cormick, manager of the Democratic
campaign today. *‘l don’t make any re
vision in my formal but I
would not be surprised if a number of
the so-called doubtful states swing into
the Wilson column, increasing his ma
jority in the electoral college.”
Chairman McCormick means just that,
too. There is no question as to his con
fidence. As he pointed out this morn
ing. he refused absolutely to claim Maine
in the September election and invited at
tention to the fact that then his private
advices indicated a Republican plurality
of P.OOo votes in Maine. , .
“And now, fellows, I want to tell you,
my advices that Maine was going Repub
lican by 9.00 V were prety well vindi
cated. He continued, “The Republicans
carried the state by 9,3vt> votes.”
“It is unnecessary for me to comment
upon the accuracy of our private ad
vices. We missed the result of the
Maine election by only 300 votes.”
BELIEVES IN REPORTS.
Chairman McCormick added that the
same painstaking work had been done by
the orgfcnizat£>n bureau of the national
committee in its work throughout the
country that was done in Maine.
“I believe in the reports that the or
ganization has furnished me,” he said,
“and I believe absolutely that they will
be vindicated tomorrow by the re-elec
tion of the president.”
Chairman McCormick’s offices were
overrun today with jubilant Democrats
from New York and adjoining states.
Secretary McAdoo and Secretary Red
held were among the callers. They all
shared the optimism of the chairman
•nd I may state truthfully that anything
short of a big. substantial victory for
Wilson will be a source of genulnf sur
prise to McCormick and others connect
ed with the campaign.
The Republicans, also profess confi
dence today, but I have it from news
paper men who make daily visits to
Chairman Willcox that there are several
people around Republican headquarters
who privately entertain much appiehen
sion over the result.
It is the Democratic view that ail
of the electoral votes the president re
ceives east of th/e Allegheny mountain
will be velvet. In a word the Democrats
expect that the west and south will
furnish votes enough to re-elect Wil
son, though they expect also to capture
New York. New Jersey and Connecticut.
The Democrats believe confidehtly
that Wilson will not only carry Ohio,
Indiana, but also Illinois and Wis
consin. It is the expectation of the
Democratic managers that Wilson will
receive three out of every four woman
votes in Illinois. It is unquestionably
true that tne Wilson campaign with
respect to these new voters has been
much better conducted than has been
the Republican campaign.
HUGES SLIGHT FAVORITE.
Notwithstanding the newspaper polls
of yesterday, that were favorable to
Wilson, Hughes continued today to rule
a slight favorite in the Wall street
betting. With the opening of business,
>50.000 was wagered on IfTllson at seven
to ten. with the result that the odds
shortened up. The Democrats demand
ten to eight and the Republicans are
unwilling to lay better than ten to nine.
The indications are that the betting
will be even before the day is over.
The interest in the result in New
York is far out of proportion to the
importance of this great state, with its
forty-five electoral votes as deciding the
result. Wilson can win without New
York's votes. Hughes cannot possibly
win without it. and there you have a
possible explanation of the interest in
the fight here.
Leader Murphy of Tammany Hall be
lieves Wilson will carry the state. I
know this to be the truth and he Is not
disturbed seriously as to the Republi
can upstate plurality. He has given
no figures, but I have reason to suspect
that he counts on a Wilson plurality ex
ceeding 120,000 in the greater city.
That there lias been great Republi
can deflection upstate is not disputed
even by the Republican managers, but
they disagree to the Murphy view that
the Wilson plurality in the greater city
will be unusually large. Herbert Par
sons, Republican national committeeman,
thinks Wilson's plurality in the city
will be cut to 65.000 and that Hughes'
plurality upstate will exceed 100,000
votes.
If the relative ovations accorded
Hughes and Wilson In New York City
is a criterion of their popularity and
indicative of the vote each is to re
ceive. it seems certain that the ppresi
dent will have an overwhelming plu
rality In the greater city. There, was

CUBI ASKS PERMISSION
TO SUE NORTH CMM
Seeks Payment of Bonds
Worth $2,186,000 to Aid
Railroad Construction
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—ln what was
said to be the first suit ever begun in
the supreme court by a foreign nation
against one of the United States, at
torneys ior Cuba todaL asked the su
preme court for leave to file an Origi
nal petition against the state of North
Carolina to secure payment of bonds
valued at >2,186,000 to aid railroad con
struction in that state nearly fifty years
ago. Payment, it was alleged, has been
refused.
The original jurisdiction of the su
preme court was Invoked in the proceed
ings today under the constitutional pro
vision for initial procedure in that coyrt
of suits between foreign stages and the
United States, but Cuba’s attorneys
stated that there is no record of any
former suit by a foreign state against
an individual state of the union.
The bonds involved in the proceedings
begun today were issued by North Caro
lina in subscriptions to aid construction
of the Western North Carolina; Wil
liamston and Tarboro; Wilmington,
Charlotte and Rutherford and Western
railroads.

no comparison between the Wilson recep
tion last Thursday night and the Hughes
demonstration Saturday night. Thou
sands of peopl# were unable to get
within blocks of Madison Square Gar
den the night Wilson spoke, whereas
Saturday night no difficulty was expe
rienced in getting seats at the Garden
to hear Hughes.
HUGHES A DISAPPOINTMENT.
Tnursday evening, with Chairman Mc-
Cormick, 1 was unable to gain admit
tance to the Garden; Saturday evening it
was easy to obtain a seat.
But what the Republican cause has
lacked in enthusiasm, it has made up in
the extravagant use of money. In no
other campaign has any party been so
well supplied with funds, and at iu> other
time lias money been spent - with such
1 profigagey. Millions of dollars have been
invested by the Republicans in newspa
pers and magazine advertising, while
large sums have been sent to state com
mittees “to get out the vote On election
day.”
I The Republican campaign, however,
has suffered from bad management and
Mr. Hughes hasn’t made a good candi
date. He has been a disappointment all
over the country and has not strengthen
ed his case by his attacks upon the Wil
son administration. He has been handi
capped of course for the want of an is
sue, but he has not made the most of
his opportunities. There have been
I many Internal rows in the Republican
national committee.

POLES ARE ASKED
TO SEND AN ARMY

Central Powers Restore An

Polish Army Will Soon Be

* 1 ■
* (By Associated Breee.)
WARSAW, Sunday, Nov. s.—(Via
Berliig Nov. 5, au4 London, Nov. 6.)
The manifesto of William and
Emperor Francis Joseph again calling
into existence the ancient kingdom of
Poland was read at noon today to the
assembled Polish’representatives in the
royal palace by Governor General von
Beseler.
Outside in the great square before the
castle and in the spacious courtyard of
the venerable fourteenth century pile,
inhabitants of tl.e old Polish capital
gathered by the thousands to attend
the ceremony of what is designated as
ihe rebirth of .the Polish nation.
Quickest to realize the significance
of the day are the academic youth, stu
dents of the University of Warsaw, the
Polytechnic school and other higher in
stitutions of learning, who attended thf
ceremony in corporate units, bearing
banners and wearing the gay student
ribbons.
This afternoon they are leading pa
rades and demonstrations through
streets bright with red dags. There are
volunteers by the hundreds for the
Polish army, which the manifesto an
nounced will be called into existence.
CEREMONY IS SIMPLE.
The ceremony was short and simple.
Precisely at noon General von Beseler,
wearing the decorations granted for
the reduction of Antwerp and the
Polish fortresses, mounted the dais In
the gala ball room'of the old Jagellonian
castle, and in the name of Germany’s
sovereign, read the imperial manifesto.
When he ceased, the Polish Count Hut
. ten-Czapski, the palace commandant,
read from a leather-bound pamphlet to
the Polish notables a translation of the
manifesto in‘their own language.
Then came cheers from the hitherto
silent crowd: cheers for Poland, Emper
or William, Emperor Francis Joseph, for
Germany and the Germans, and for Gen
eral von Beseler. President Brudzinski,
of the'recently elected city council, rec
tor of the University of Warsaw, ad
vanced before the dais and in'the Polish
tongue gave thanks for the Imperial
decree. He asserted the determination
of the Poles would be found worthy
of the liberties conferred and msked
that as the first step toward the forma
tion of the government a regent be ap
pointed for the kingdom, since the time
was not ripe for the nomination of tne
hereditary sovereign.
General von Beseler replied that in the
midst of the world war had come the
moment of fulfillment of the long cher
ished Polish wish for're-establishment
of the Polish kingdom. i
SEEKS POLAND’S AID.
“Doubts as to the future,” 'he said,
• can find no place in Polish hearts. It
will be our task, shoulder to shoulder
with the residents of Poland, to carry
the war to a ’victorious conclusion and
to heal the wounds of the war. Take
| piaces ’at our side Bi confidence, which
!wc repay by the magnantmus decision
of the Austro-German monarchs who
■ place • their seal on the plans for the
‘ unity of Poland. We hope that soon a
Polish army will be fighting on our side
in token of the sentiment for develop
ment of the new kingdom. May all good
fortune attend the kingdom of Poland."
A band in an adjoining gallery struck
•up the strains of the ancient national
anthem, and after a few bars had been
prtlyed the Poles burst spontaneously
into the strains which recites the ancient
I gloifies, the fallen fortunes and the undy
-Ing hopes of Poland.
Twenty minutes saw the end of the
•eremony and the participants slowly
1 nade their way from the palace through
I’he crowded cohrtyard into the throng

GEORGIA GIVES S2l ,800
TO WILSON'S CAMPAIGN
Contributions Represent Tire
less Work of Three Men
and One Woman,
Twenty-one thousand dollars have
been raised in Georgia for the Wilson
campaign fund by three men and one
little woman. Before Monday’s sun
light begins to fade it is believed that
another thousand dollars will be added
to the sum already raised.
Under the direction of John D. Walk
er, chairman of the Georgia committee
or the. Democratic national committee.
Mrs. Emma T. Martin, Ben Lee Crew
and Neyle Colquitt have covered 411
corners of the state, and contributions
have been received from the big towns,
from the small but ■•ambitious towns,
and towns not yet sufficiently important
to win a position on the map.
Neyle Colquitt has led a patriotic
parade through south Georgia; Ben Lee
Crew has covered with extreme thor
oughness the northern part of the
state; Mrs. Emma T. Martin appealed to
Georgia’s loyal women, and John D.
Walker watched the whole proceeding
with the eye of a gerat general direct
ing a battle of vast significance.
EVERYBODY DONATES.
The men of the state responded; the
women answered the call with cash do
nations. People in tffb country were
liberal and people in the city gavei all
•they could afford to give.
Mr. Walker telegfaphed The Journal
Monday that efforts were being begun
to raise an additional JI,OOO and the
list wodld be kept open until Thurs
day.
Wood row Wilson will be elected presi
dent of the United States at a political
mans meeting to be held at Agnes Scott
college Monday night. The young ladies
have planned to make the occasion a
memorable one, and at the meeting dif
ferent girls will assume the roles of
the Democratic speech makers, and
campaign managers, and women fund
managers and one or two will wear the
raiment of the Republican party. It
will be strictly a democratic affair,
however, and the young ladies associated
with the G. O. P. will find themselves
singularly lonely and in a state of pro
found embarrassment.
When the “election" is ended and
the young ladles have decided that
Mr. Wilson is the right man to occupy
the White House for the next four
‘years, the ppresident will be so advised
of his election by telegraph.
