FEELING OF UNCERTAINTY
STRIKES CAMP OF HUGHES;
W.R. HEARST IS CONFIDENT
Both Sides Are Doing
Great Deal of
Bluffing.
New York, Oct. 31.—As the state
campaign draws to a close, there is a
feeling of growing confidence on the
part of the Hearst managers, and In
creasing feeling of uncertdlnty on the
part of the Republican leaders. ,
The reports which the latter are se
curing from up the state are not reas
suring, and while openly proclaiming
satisfaction with the situation, State
Chairman Woodruff and his assistant!-,
in the management of the Hughes cam.
pklgn privately admit their dispieas
ure with many things, and their un
certainty as to the outcome.
Both Sides Are Bluffing.
Both sides are playing the usual
game of bluff at this time. Chairman
Woodruff protends to believe that
Hughes will obtain a plurality of 150,-
000 votes outside of New York city, and
also declares that the Democratic plu
rsllty In Greater New York will be
held down to 25,000, and may be wiped
out altogether.
Chairman Conners, of the Democratic
state commltte. and Max F. Ihmsen,
Hearst’s personal manager, rush to the
other extreme. They profese the be
lief that Hearst will carry the sections
north of the city by 25,000 to 60,000,
and will carry the city Itself by some
thing like 100,000 plurality.
Murphy Won’t Make Estimate.
Charles F. Murphy, the leader of
Tammany Hall, declines to state open,
ly any estimates, but expresses his sat
isfaction In the situation, and predicts
Hearst’s election by a big vote.
These things are Interesting only as
campaign figures, and Instead of being
accepted as news, should be regarded
as contributions to the comic weeklies.
There Is absolutely nothing In fact or
In reason to Justify the Republican be
lief that there Is any chance of wiping
nut a Democratic plurality In Greater
New York, nor Is there any basis for
the Hearst dream that Hughes .will be
beaten In the sections up the state.

DR. THOMAS, CAUGHT IN NET,
HURLED THROUGH THE AIR,
LANDS SAFELY MILES AWAY
This picture shows Dr. Julian Thomas, the famous New York aeoronaut, formerly of Atlanta, as he appear
ed standing in the basket of his balloon. The doctor’! son is shown standing by the basket.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 31.—Clinging to
the rigging of his escaped balloon, Dr.
Julian Thomas, the aeronaut, was car
ried thousands of yards into the, air
here this afternoon, buffeted about^by
the upper currents, blown six miles in
a southeasterly direction, and after he
reached the ground, dragged for a long
distance before he Anally became un
tangled from his wild aerial convey
ance.
Of all the exciting Incidents of this
fearless air-navigator’s varied career,
this was the most exciting and came
the nearest to fatal results. As It was.
Dr. Thomas was badly bruised by his
contact with the ground and the re
sults of his dragglrig across rough
fields, but the Is not In a serious condi
tion and hopes to attempt another as
cent tomorrow.
The accident was primarily due to
the fact that the balloon Nirvana be
came entangled in some wires as the
doctor started to make a short trial
ascent, near the fair grounds. As the
balloon dashed up when released It
swung Into the wires and the car be
came entangled. For n brief Instant
the doctor was threatened with the
double peril of electrocution and of be
ing dashed from the, overturned basket
to the ground.
Without an Instant’s hesitation Dr.
Thomas jumped beneath the ropes
which held the basket the the balloon
and drawing from a sheath the big
knife he carried, he hacked away at
the stout hemp until It was severed.

rated and dropped to the earth the

balloon dashed upward with terrific
speed, carrying In the rope network
the adventurous doctor.
A cry of consternation went up from
those who saw the accident, for
looked as though death were certain.
But Dr. Thomas retained his hold on
the ropes and was soon carried out of
sight. In an instant crowds started in
pursuit, but even those In the fastest
conveyances were outdistanced by the
flying balloon, which rapidly carried Ita
human freight toward the southeast.
The gradual escaping of the gas
brought the balloon at length back to
earth and It came down with great ve
locity. Dr. Thomas was dashed to the
ground with terrific force and then
dragged for a long distance. He was
not seriously Injured, however, and

cans are apt to be^/oefnlly disappoint
ed In their up-state vote, and that the
Hearst people will be by no means sat
isfied with the showing in Greater New
York.
With all the facts at hand, the writer
expresses the unbiased belief that
Hughes wur come down to New York
city from up the state with a plurality
neighborhood of 50.000, possibly sllgh-
ly under that figure; while Hearst will
carry New York city with a plurality of
approximately 50,000; possibly slightly
over that figure.
Hearst a Slight Favorite.
There Is good reuson to believe that
the election is ap close as that of 1902,
when Odell. Republican candidate for
governor, defeated Bird S. Ooler, Dem
ocrat, by less than 10,000 votes.
There is about as much uncertainty
In picking the winner as there Is in
a horse race,, with two strong entries,
but the result promises, to be mighty
close, with Hearst a slight favorite.
Although the betting makes Hughes a
favorite still, the odds are shortening
and the two candidates are likely to
show up nearly on even terms in the

Prisoner Is Trying to
Rival Harry
Thaw.
J. H. Crutchfield, held In the Tower
for shooting and beating his wife, Mrs,
Sallle Crutchfield, Is about to rival
Harry K. Thaw, the celebrated million
alre prisoner In the Tombs in New
York, as to “princely” Jail life.
Following phonograph concerts
the Tower on Tuesday and Tuesday
night, Crutchfield announced Wednes
day morning that he would be host
Wednesday night at a Hallowe'en ’pos
sum supper, to be served In his apart
ments In the Jail hospital ward on the
fifth floor of the big prison. The pris
oner extended an Invitation to repre
sentatives of the press to partake of
the delicious spread and stated that a
few of his friends would also
present.
” ’Possum and ’taters, with cider on
the side will be the menu,” explained
Crutchfield.
Will Be w 8ocisty” Affair.
He said he had already made ar
rangements to have the supper pre
pared at one of the local restaurants.
Crutchfield gave out no further de
tails of h|s supper, but It Is understood
the table will be artistically arranged
to represent a heavily barred door, with
great slices of Juicy ’possum peeping
through the bars. The central decora
tion will be a padlock, tastily caught
In white and blue ribbon. To further
carry out the appropriate effect of the
supper, souvenirs of the occasion will
be attractive little keys.
In fact, the supper Is to be a jail
society affair.
Crutchfield gave another phonograph
concert Tuesday night, placing his
machine on the balcony In front of the
hospital ward. By this arrangement,
all of the prisoners In the jail were
given a musical treat, which they
greatly enjoyed.
Crutchfield has made himself a
prince of good fellows among the pris
oners and they are anticipating with
regret the time when he Is to leave the
Tower, he having announced that he
imposed to apply for bond as soon as
ils wife Is declared out of danger.

GRIGGS SAYS GAIN
EMBEDS
NOW IS CERTAIN
Washington, Oct. 31.—“I have not
seen a political situation turn as It lias
in this campaign since 1892," said Con
gressman Griggs, of Georgia, chair
man of the Democratic congressional
committee. In discussing’ the outlook
for next Tuesday's election. "Every
thing has been coming our way for the
last thirty days.”
Mr. Griggs was asked about the es
timates that hav6 been given out by
some Democratic authorities claiming
gains of sixty-seven members of the
house. He looked over the list and
said:
"The claim of a gain of ten In New
York Is safe. Hearst Is sure of elec
tion; I think likely by 100,000 major
ity, The claim of one gain each in
Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ken
tucky, Montana, Delaware, hRcde Is
land, Connecticut, Idaho and Virginia
are all good, but we will not gain six
In Pennsylvania. We will gain more
than that number. Similarly, tho claim
of a Democratic gain of six in Illinois
is too conservative. We will gain eight
In Missouri. Concessions of live or
six are made in Ohio, but we know bet
ter. Iowa, Nebraska and California
ran be counted on for gains and the
computation that puta us down to gain
only three In Indiana Is in error.”

and buy anything he desires. In pay
ing for some article that had been sent
him at the Tower, he carelessly pulled
from his vest pocket a roll of green
backs as big as an ordinary forearm,
the roll composed mainly of 320 bills.
When asked Wednesday how he was
ellng, the prisoner replied;
“Just say that I am feeling so highly
elated over the Improvement In my
wife’s condition that I have nothing .to
say today.”
And he certainly looked the part.
Since It was announced that his wife

Dr. John A. McLeay
Probably the Ap
pointee.
There Is a strong probability that a
British consulate will be established in
Atlanta at an early date and that an
Atlanta tnan will be the British consul.
Dr. John A. McLeay, who came to
this city a short while ago from Can
ada. his native country, has been
strongly • urged for the position and
he hus the recommendation of many
prominent men In Canada, besides Gov
ernor Terrell, of Georgiu, and Sam D.
Jones, president of the Atlanta Cham
ber of Commerce.
Dr. McLeay has made formal appli
cation for the position as British con
sul. He Is strongly In favor of Atlanta
as the consulate, and embodied this
suggestion In his application to the
British ambassador.
Dr. McLeay Is well known In At
lanta. His offices are In “ the Fourth
National Bank building.
Governor Terrell wrote the British
ambassador at Washington some time
ago, strongly urging the establishment
of a consulate In Atlanta, and recom
mending Dr. McLeay as consul. The
httinber of Commerce, through the
president, Hon. Sam D. Jones, followed
this up with a letter to the British
ambassador.
From the Ambassador.
A letter Just received by Hon. Sam D.
Jones, in reply to his to the British
ambassador, says that the matter has
been referred to the foreign office. The
letter Is from the secretary of legation,
Hon. Cecil Higgins.
It is as follows:

POLICE NEWS CENSORIZED;
CHIEF JENNINGS OBJECTS
TO TOO MUCH PUBLICITY
Reporters Will Be Re
fused News From
Patrolmen.
Following the next regular meeting
of the board of police commissioners,
all Atlanta police news Is to be under
strict censorship.
Chief Jennings will be the omiclal
censor. All news for the press will be
given out by the chief. The mouths of
all other members of the department
will be sealed to reporters. The news
gatherers will not even be permitted to
scan (he police books and records, as
has been their privilege In the past.
A movement to this effect Is on foot
In the police department, and haa as
sumed dellnlte shape. It will be brought
to the attention of the police commis
sion, st its next meeting, by Chief Jen
nings.
The commission, about two years
ago, adopted rules embracing the plans
for an official censor, and it Is under
stood the chief will order the rules rig
idly enforced. It Is said he will not
put the rules Into effect ffntll after
he confers with the commission.
Although this notion was taken by
the commission, the rules have never
been enforced, the police reporters hav
ing the privilege of looking over the
books and records at any time they de
sired.
What Caused It.
The proposition to put the censorship
Into effect is said to be the direct result
of the tecent controversy between the
police reporters of The Atlanta Journal
and Tile Atlunta News and Miss San
derson, police matron, the differences
between the newspaper men and the
matron never having been settled. It
is also believed that the presentments
of the Fulton county grand Jury, re
turned Tuesday, in which the police
were criticised for their conduct dur
ing the recent riot, hnd something to
do with the movement.

said, thla conference resulted In the ■
determination to establish the censor- i

Chairman Terry la known to be in
favor of the plan, although Wednesday 1
morning he declined to discuss it for
publication. It Is understood he lias
expressed himself as favoring a restric

news, on the ground, it is said, that h«
considers it better irnllcy to havo all
news emanate from the chief direct.
The first step toward the censorship
was taken Wednesday morning, when
Chief Jennings Informed the police re

that no newspaper men would be per

the present situation cpuld be brought

Atlanta Needs Consul.
Tlte appointment of a Rritlah consul
In Atlanta Is regarded as being doubly
important because of the geographical
location of the city relative to the cot
ton belt. England gets all of its cot
ton practically from the South and has
many Interests In this section.
The duties of the consulate would be
to look after the interests of English
subjects In the South, encourage and
develop trade relations between the
two countries and give personal atten
tion to suclt official matters that might
develop. The recent announcement
that un English colony might be es
tablished In this section Is believed will
be seriously regarded by the British
government In making the appoint
ment.
Mr. McLeay Is a registered physician
nfid surgeon In Edinburgh, a licentiate
of Apothecaries' hall, Dublin: graduate
of the Colleges of Physicians and
Surgeons In Ontario and Quebec, and
n graduate of the Toronto University.
Dr. McLeay's citizenship in Atlanta
is regarded by hint as an accident. In
Merch 1904, he was en route to Ashe
ville, N. C., from Palm Beach, Fla.,
where he had been spending the win
ter, and had occasion to stop over In
Atlanta. He became impressed with
the city, and the people, and, as the

the country," said Dr. McLeay Wed
nesday, "and my residence of two
years here has Iran most'‘pleasant. I
was not here long before I discovered
what the "Atlanta spirit” was. I
found it was not a myth. Atlanta has
the hustle and enterprise of a North
ern city and I expect to remain here.”
Dr, McLeay Is a brother of the late
Franklin McLeay, an eminent English
actor for many years with Beerbohm
Tree In London. The actor waa re
garded as being one of the foremost
In his profession, and'the English stage
suffered a distinct loss when he died
two years ago. Dr. McLeay Is also a
close friend of H. Cooper Cllffe, an
English actor with the "Squaw Man"
Company. Mr. Cllffe will be a guest of
Dr. McLeay during his coming visit to
Atlanta.
