The campaign conducted by the repub-

Mayor Weaver today estimated the city
party majority at 100000 Speaking of the
campaign William T. Tilden, chairman of
the city party's campaign committee, said:
Our battle has been the battle of the
taxpayer against the thug, the honest man
against the CRATER. the vice hater against
the vice protector. John Weayer's manly
stand for the people opened and has kept
open the way for them TO fight their battle.
They have done so manfully, and predict
an overwhelming majority for reform
throughout the city and into the treasury
office in the state"

TO EsCHEW STATE ISSUES.
Shaw to Talk on Party Principles at
Cleveland TONIGHT.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. November 4.-Secre-
tary Shaw arrived here today and will
deliver a campaign address at Central
Armory tonight.
That the secretary will not discuss Ohio
issues in his speech was made plain In an
interview given out during the day. He
declared that his mission to the state was
not of a missionary character. He came as
a republican, he said, to discuss the prin-
ciples of the republican party. He added
that he thought 1t would be inappropriate
and in very bad taste for a citizen of Iowa
to assume to instruct the people of Ohio in
the management of their local affairs.
In saying this the Secretary disavowed
any intention of minimizing the national
Importance of the Ohio state campaign.
IF voting for men instead of measures
becomes popular, concluded Mr.. Shaw
'then the man most fluent in speech or the
man who has the most newspapers will
probably be the next President of the
United States, and unless the republicans
Of Ohio desire this logical, II not inevitable
result. they should not take lead in oblit-
Grating party lines"

RECRUITING FISHING FLEETS.
Right to Engage New
foundlanders Questioned.

In anticipation of the receipt of complaints
from the Gloucester fishermen against the
action of the Newfoundland authorities
in preventing the captains OF the American
fishing smacks from recruiting their crews
from the natives OF Newfoundland the au-
thorites here have been giving some at
tention to this phase of the general ques-
ton of American fishing rights In New
foundland waters. BY a local statute the
Observation-Disclosures are forbidden to ship as
members of the crews of American fishing
vessels There is nothing to prevent "a
state or government from exercising such
a power as this against its own citizens.
provided the act is limited in its enforce
ment to the territory, land and sea. of that
power.
The only question that might rise would
be in case an effort were made by Cana
dian cruiser or government vessel to op-
crate beyond the three-miie limit, to pre-
vent the transshipment Of sailors in the
open sea or to exercise right of search
In the case Of American vessels The official
opinion is that this could not be permitted.
but upon cursory examination of the
issue the officials here incline to a belief
that the Newfoundland authorities are
within their rights in preventing their own
sailormen from going aboard Newfound-
land vessel in Newfoundland waters with
the intention of going just beyond the ter
rtoriai waters to ship on American smacks.

The second round of match play yesterday

1t was thought that Mr.. DalzelI had an
excellent chance of winning out this fall on
the first try for the cup, as he has been

a nice handicap. captured the match by

time ranked as very fair golfer. but

went back. This resulted In the green
committee giving him a nice handicap for
this fall. During the past summer the doc

courses with the result that he is now in his
old form.
DIR. Glazebrook also defeated Mr.. King
