New York. Nov. —Tammany Hall
was the busiest political spot In the
country today. Thle I* "dough day" at
the hall, and the dletrlct leaders came
la carriages bringing with them
several canvass bags. Seventy thous
and dollars Is said to be the size of the
pile which will be used to bring up the
Tammany vote.

The betting today Is 4 to 1 on Hugh-
es.
Chairman of the republican state
Woodruff, nearing one of his most
gorgeous vests and a confident air,
predicted today that Hughes would
have over 200.000 plurality In the state.
Tiny Tim was gratified because the
weather man had promised a fair day,
which means the farmers wilt come
out and vote.
"A line day up-state." said Wood'-
ruff, "means a landslide tor Hughes."
New York, Nov. 6.—Ordinarily a
campaign for governor closes on the
Saturday night before election, but
there has been nothing ordinary about
this campaign, and on neither side
will the work of addressing and exhort-
Ing the voters be abandoned until a
few hours before the polls are actually
opened tomorrow morning.
The Tammany people did not even
take n rest over Sunday, and last night
several mass meetings were being held
to advocate the candidacy of William
R. Hearst for governor. One of the
speakers at the Bowery meeting le

Sullivan, better known as "Big Tim.”
who Is supposed to control more votes
than any othsr single politician In
New York. He Is virtually the Demo
cratic leader of all the Tammany forces
Hying In Manhattan south of four
teenth. street, and the fact that he
speaks for Mr. Hearst from the public
.platform will insure a good majority In
that tsrrltory for the candidate. The
Republican* hold meetings toillglit at
which Charles E. Hughes will speak,
winding Up with n demonstration In
Borland's Riding Academy.
Hearst Claims 200,000 Plurality.
But the main question here Is: "Who
l« going to be elected?” One can get
all sorts of answers to this question.
Never was there such a wide dissimi
larity In the opinions of the election
prophets. Mr. Hearst ts still declaring
that he will be elected by a plurality
of 100.000. He arrived at this conclu
sion from studying the returns In
■ ireful way of every county In the
state, ns well as numerous polls.

Washington. D. C„ Nov. t.—J. G.
Rawlins, the Georgia preacher who la
accused of hiring a negro man, Alt
Moore, to assassinate a family named
Carter, must hang.
The United States supreme court to
day, In a decision announced by Chief
Justice Fuller, affirmed the verdict of
the lower court.
The chief Justice directed that the
mandate of the court be Issued at once.
With till! decree of the United States
supreme court the last hope, save one.
for J. Q. Rawlins Is gone. The Anal
hope Is so remote that tt hardly exists
—the Intercession of the prison com
mission.
When the mandate of the higher
court reaches Georgia .the judge of the
superior court will he-sentehce Half'
lins and Alf Moore to be hnnged.
Attorney John R. Cooper haa made a
wonderful fight for his client, carrying
the case twice to the highest tribunal,
but he lost out finally and now haa
only the prison commission to depend
upon.
On next Tuesday the commission wiy
taka up the petitions for commutation
of sentences of Jesse and Milton Raw
lins. Argument on them has been
heard, but the commission reserved
■ts decision until the courts had dis
posed of the case against the father of
the boys.
Whether Attorney Cooper will make
any fight or not to save the elder Raw
lins remains to he seen, but It Is be
Ileved that be would not Jeopardize any
chance for the boys by making an ap
peal for the old man.

IN NIC CASE
The United States supreme court
handed down a decision Monday, hold

date for hearing the case on Its merits.
This Is a signal victory for Georgia,
and means that the famous case will
now go before the court on Its merits.

FOR HEARST
There has seldom been so much un
certainty In a great campaign as In
that between Hearst and Hughes In
New York. Both sides are. In an atti
tude of dread. Each elds is In dread of
a landslide. The great silent vote Is
tbs element of danger. But It Is to be
reasonably expected that this vote will

OF MAN SHE LOVED
AFTER SHOOTING SELF
Democratic candidate will have a plu
rality of 200,000, of which he expects
that New York will furnish 150,000.
1 halrman William J. Conners, of the
Democratic state committee, figures
that Hearst will be elected by 100.000.
HI* estimate credit* Hughes with a
plurality of 80,000 above the Bronx.
Mr. Conners thinks It will be a Hearst

Charles F. Murphy still Insists that
Hearst will have from. 80,000 to 100,000
In the greater city, 'and that If he
does as well up state as reports Indi
cate, he will by elected sure. Many of
'he district leaders who made reports
in Murphy do not agree with him and
point to the fact that Mr. Murphy has
refused to make public the figures
turned In by the district leaders.
It is the belief of some of these men
Hist Hearst will not have more than
10,000 plurality In the whole city. They
also believe that Hearst will lose

Claims 200,000 for Hughesl
William Barnes, Jr., state commit
teeman from Albany, gives ss as his
"Pinion that Hughes will have a plu-
' silty of 200,000. He says Ills predic
tion Is based on reports from every
■ "uniy in the state. Chairman Timo
thy L. Woodruff, however, Is giving out
n > figures, hut declares that Hughes
"ml the rest of the state ticket will be
elected by a safe plurality.
There Is no use of claiming every
thing 111 Sight." said he In his last for
mal statement, "so long as one Is sure
the result. I might say that the
election of Mr. Hughes would be unan
imous with about as much reason as
'he other side makes Its extravagant
claims for Mr. Hearst."
Newspaper Polls Abandoned.
■Most of the newspapers have ceased
making polls, owing to the misleading
' *.ults of the canvasses they made In
I soi. when Judge Parker waa run
ning for president against Mr. Roose-
''lt The Herald, however, presents a
anvssa made through the state which
ndlrates that Mr. Hughes, will have a
Plurality of about 114,000 In the fifty-

Alpharetta, Ga., Nov.* 5.—Told by the
man she loved that his affection for
her was gone, Miss Nellie Webb, the
pretty 19-year-old daughter of Henry
Webb, one of the leading farmer* of
this section, shot herself yesterday aft
ernoon at .1 o'clock, with a single-bar
relled shotgun, the load taking effect
tn her breast.
After shooting herself, the gill sent
for her sweetheart, Upper Stone, who Is
the son of Mr. anti Mrs. George Stone,
a near neighbor, and In his arms nt 8
o'clock last night she died.

be expected were constantly together.

when they attended the village church.

Colonel John Temple Graves re
turned from New York Monday morn
ing. He has been In the thick of the
campaign with Hearst for the past
we#k. He believes that Mr. Hearst
will be the next governor of New York.
"What Impressed me more than any
thing elee," continued Colonel Graves,
“is the wonderful regard the people of
New York have for Mr. Hearst. It ts
not tits "fealty of partisans to their
chieftain, but the regard of friends for
u friend. He addressed thousands
upon thousands -of men of every class.
He spoke sixteen times In one night,
und from the crowds the expressions
of regard which , were flung at him
were wonderful.
•• 'You did It: you did It for us.' was
flung at him from boxes and gallery.
He was cheered by the thousands of
Russian Jews In the Ghetto—he was
cheered by the great audience, drawn
from the beet of New York, which
waited In Carnegie hall until after mid
night for Mr. Hearet to begin hie ad
drese.
Wonderful Enthusiaim.
I have never seen anything like the
enthusiasm of the people for Mr.
Hearst. We talk about our Bouthero
audiences and their enthusiasm, hut
the crowds that heard Mr. Hearst wore
worshippers of him.

District Attorney Moran, Democratic
nominee for governor of Massachu

District Attorney Jerome to eecure pos

Not satisfied with the result of the
Investigations of Councilman Oldknow,
it Is now said that some of the wit
nesses who testified before council and
the grand Jury In hla behalf, or rather,
not In behalf of the other side, will be
arraigned for perjury.
It seems that the Oldknow matter
will not down. It Is known that the
action of the special committee on
whisky licenses, in denying applications
from certain dealers, and In granting
the applications of others, has created
a great deal of dissatisfaction.
This dissatisfaction haa already twice
shown Itself In the form of official In
vestigations of the conduct of Council
man Oldknow, chairman of the commit
tee, once by the grand Jury and another
time by council Itself. Mr. Oldknow
asked for the Investigation by council
anil paid half the expense of sums.
No specific chnrges have been made
against Mr., Oldknow. The charge,
generally understood, which I* made
against hint, is that hn allowed hie
business interests to dictate his actions
In voting for certuln applications and
ngalnat others.
In the Investigations there was more
than one Instance where one man swore
one way nnd another a contrary way
on the same matter*. This diametrical
ly.opposed testimony. It Is quite au
thoritatively stated, will lead to the
swearing out of warrants for perjury
against certain of these witnesses.
No names are given, as no warrants
have yet been aworn out.

ARRESTED FOR BURGLARY;
BOUND OVER TO COURTS
rumor Is afloat tn local railroad
circles to the effect that the Atlantic
Coast Line will Inaugurate at an early
date a fast mall from New York to
New* Orleans to compete with the
Southern's "97." an exclusive mall and
express train.
While nothing official is known. It Is
believed that some action will be taken
by the Coast Line officials and an an
nouncement may be made soon to this
effect. The proposed route ts via the
Atlantic Coast Line from Washington
to Augusta, Ga, where the Georgia
road will be used to Atlanta. The At
lanta and West Point will take the
mall out of Atlantn us far as Mont
gomery where It will be taken up by
the- Louisville and Nashville and run
over the Short Line to New Orleans.
, Now on Southern.
The present service over the South
ern Is subsidized by congress, hut the
road Is penalized when the mall Is de
livered late. The contract calls for eo
many miles an hour, nnd when the road
falls to make schedule, tt only receive*
pay for carrying the mall. Recent de
lays IiHve caused much dissatisfaction,
and the Coast Line people are said to
be ready to take advantage of the situ
ation.
fact that the Atlanta and West
ifflcos will be located with those
Louisville and Nashville upon
th* completion of the six-story freight
depot and office building of the latter
road at Waverley Way I* thought lo
be of some significance, as the Louis
ville and Naahvllle and the Atlantic
Coast Line are known to be very close
ly affiliated.
Should the rumor of the proposed ac
tion of the Coast Line develop Into a
fact the belt line from the Georgia
road around to the tracks of the At
lanta and Weat Point will be used, uti
les* arrangements arc made by which
tracks from the old union depot to the
right of way of the Atlanta and West
Point can be used. The right of way
of the Atlanta and West Point ends at
the Nelson street bridge.
Chicago Fast Mail.
It Is entirely probable that a fast
mall from Chicago will also be put on
by the roads handling th* "Dixie
Flyer," soon to be Inaugurated through
Atlanta on account of tourist travel t<<
winter resorts In Florida. The mall
from the northwest has increased con
siderably, and postal cltrks on roads
from that direction frequently come In
to the city "stuck," and are forced to
remain In their cars and work the
heavy malls.
