FIGHT IN CINCINNATI
PROMISES To Be CLOSE
President Ingalls,. of the Big Four Rail
road, Has a Chance

CINCINNATI. April although the
chances are seemingly. from an unbiased
point against the election tomorrow of
President ingalls,, of the Big Four Rail-
road. as mayor of Cincinnati, his friends
and followers are hopeful II IS pretty
generally conceded that no other man in
local Republican circles but Julius
Fleischmann. the young millionaire dis
tfIIer and yeast manufacturer, whose ad-
ministration OF the Office for the last
three years has won him the stanch
loyalty Of the voters with so-called lib
eraI views. would have had more than a
fghtfng chance with ingalls,.
As indicating that there may be
marked surprises in store for today is
the fact of the widely differing bets that
have been made Two weeks ago bets
we're freely offered and not so freely
taken that FIeischmann would beat IN
gals by 1900. Wagers recently have
been made that ingalls, would win by 600
to 5000.
The local elections throughout Ohio
today will be especially important, be-
cause of the new municipal code enacted
recently by the Legislature, which re-
organizes every municipality There
will be no officers holding over. and for
this reason the party advantage obtained
viii be great.
Many charges of fraudulent reglstra-
ton have been made Several hundred
warrants were prepared in Cincinnati
yesterday for service tomorrow It i
charged that more than thousand false
registrations have been made IN single
ward. The present registration has
broken all April records also in other
cities The election tomorrow will be
watched closely. On account Of its bear
ing on the candidacy Of Myron T Her
rick, of Cleveland, for the Republican
nomination for governor and on the re-
election Of United States Senator Hanna
/ The Legislature selected next November
will elect Senator Hanna's successor.

GENERAL CORBIN TO BE
SECOND CHIEF OF STAFF
General Chaffee Expected 10 De
cline Position.

There is good reason to believe thay
Adjt- Cen H, c. Corbin will be the
second chief of staff OF the army. and
that he will assume that position within
a year.
General Young viii be the first chief
of staff when it is organized, as it soon
will be. under the new army bill. He
will become lieutenant general Of the
army upon the retirement of Lieutenant
General Miles next August His own
retirement will follow few months
later.
It is conceded that Major General
ChafIee. now in command of the Depart
ment of the East. will succeed General
Young as the lieutenant general Of the
army. Under ordinary conditions this
rank would make him the chief of staff
1t is said. however, that General Chat
/ fee has no desire to assume that posi-
lion. He wishes to remain in command
of the Department Of the East, where
he can be in closer touch with the army
! itself than he could be in purely eX-
( ecutive position in the War Department.
Office work is not tasteful to him, and
it is. therefore. expected that he will
remain at his present command until the
/ time of his retirement
! It is well known that General Young
/ General Chafee. and General Corbin are
warm personal friends. and among OIL
! Gals at the War Department the belief
prevails that an understanding has been
( reached whereby tthe plan here outlined
will be carried out
General Corbin is ambitious to be
come the chief OF staff. his strong grasI
upon the affairs of the department and
/ his particular executive ability qualify
him for the position.

The climax came Saturday night, when
i23 policemen and detectives we're dis
missed from the force because they had
not voted for Recorder Hays and hiz
ticket. Many Of the men who we're on

TOLEDO" JONES WILL
PROBABLY WIN AGAIN
Golden Rule" Mayor Has to Make the
Hardest Fight of His Life.

TOLEDO, Ohio. April s.-Several quiet
meetings and much silent work over the
city closed one of the most pyrotechnie
campaigns in Toledo's history, Golden
Rule Mayor Sam Jones, tabooed by
every paper in the city. and opposed by
every party, has made the hardest fight
of HIS life for reelection, the fourth
time. as mayor.
Pitted against him are Socialist, Re
publican, and Democratic candidates.
The fight is really three-cornered be-
tween the present mayor, John A. Dowd,
Republican, and Charles NJ Edison, Dem
oerat, although It is believed Edison will
be third in the finish.
The result is in doubt, although odds
at TO l are offered by Jones hackers
who have money 10 wager.
It looks now as though Jones would
win again. and the Democrats have \
good prospect of electing the city So
licitor, city police Judge. and one mem
Der of the board of public services.

CARROLL D. WRIGHT SAYS
He WILL NOT RESIGN
Candidacy of E. E. Clark to Cover His
Aspirations fer Another Position.

Political gossip which has been set
afioat in the past few days TO the eff
feet that E E. Clark. grand chief of the
order Of Railway Conductors and
member of the late anthracite coal
strike commission. is likely to become
Commissioner of Labor within few
months" has suddenly struck an i'm
movable snag. Commissioner Carroll
D. Wright has no intention OF resign
ing now. or at any time in the near fu-
ture. That official himself is the au-
thority for this statement
Commissioner Wright, when asked
yesterday regarding his official inten-
tions, said:
When I accepted the presidency of
Clark University, In Worcester, Mass,
last year, I did so with the under
standing that my duties there should
not be such as would interfere with
the completion OF certain important
work now In process of completion by
the Department Of Labor. It was also
understood that this official work would
take about two years. or at least until
/ the summer of 1904. I see no reason
! for changing the estimate then made
as to the length of time necessary for
completing this work in Washington.
II am not surprised that new names
are mentioned from time to time for the
| Office Of commissioner. II is always so
j in politics The work now in hand is
| OF a nature such that one man can
/ handle it in the end better than two or
more men, and I expect to see it finish

According to a political authority in
Washington. the agitation OF Mr.. Clark 3

missionership is for the purpose of di-

/ for the post Of Assistant Secretary OF
! Commerce and Labor For the latter
| position he has been indorsed strongly
/ by Judge Gray. president of the strike
commission. The latter recommended
Mr.. Clark not only because Of personal
fitness. but as a good political move. in
recognition of the organized labor in
terests Of the country.
Mr.. CIark's appointment to a Govern
ment position would please not only the
railroad conductors organization, but
nearly half dozen similar brotherhood:
closely allied It, and probably The
labor world in general. On this account
it has been regarded with favor by many
men high in the political councils of the
Republican party.
