THE ELECTION
IN NEW YORK
HEARST CALLS ON THE COVER.
NOR FOR THE USE OF
TROOPS.

New York, Nov. 13.-Attorney Gen.
eral Mayer announced tonight that
cases of illegal acts in the recent elec-
ton had been reported to both his
and Superintendent Morgan's office in
such number that he had appointed
Jay S. Jones, of Brooklyn, and James
H Lehmaner, of New York, as spec
ial deputy attorneys general to assist
the regular staff in the investigation
and prosecution of the election cases
reported.
Neither the attorney general nor
superintendent Morgan would discuss
the situation tonight. 1t was learned,
however, as a result Of the investiga-
ton that evidence had been secured
which will be taken to the grand jury
next week. The investigation so far
has resulted in revelations of the most
sensational character as to the igno-
rance and incompetency Of the cleo
all the state officers that the irregular
tiles developed were not SO much of
fraud as of pure and simple ignorance.
1t was learned today that the bal
lot boxes found in the barber shop in
the Twenty-first assembly district were
only for mutilated ballots, and the re-
port of the canvass shows that ten
defective ballots were recorder, the
same number that was found in the
box. Another similar box was found
today at polling place on West Thir
ty-eighth street.

NAVAL PROBLEMS.

The visit of Prince Louis of Batten-
berg with his squadron to American
waters is in way recognition of one
great naval power by another. Twen-
ty years ago such a call would have
looked more like a menace than a COM
plimcnt. The American navy was
then in the formation period. The
United States had no standing among
great powers as naval unit, says the
Minneapolis Journal
But the United States has progress
ed. We sent navy against the Span
ish power in 1898 that astonished the
Santiago wiped out the remnant Of the
Spanish power on water without the
loss of a ship and with scarcely the
loss of man. The efficiency as we'll
as the strength of the American navy
was demonstrated. Thereafter this
country sent squadron to British wa
tiers for the coronation of King Ed
ward.
Our ships have been on friendly Wis
its TO French ports and German ports
ana everywhere the flag of this coun-
try has been respected. Indeed, until
the Japanese give their almost mirac-
ulous exhibition of naval superiority
we had the only fleet of ironclads
which had been tested in action
So today a visit from a British
squadron is not bit of patronage nor
does ii fill us with dread of what might
happen to us because we realize that
the British navy is more numerous
than ours: it is not so certain that we
could not beat them with iron ships
as we once beat them in wooden hulls.
The problem of the American navy
today is not one of construction. De-
spite some vagaries on the part of con-
gress the naval experts get out of it
orders for as many ships as they can
we'll build and generally for the kind
of ships they want. The problem is
one of manning the vessels. Of Meth.

whole navy is 1000 men and officers

not alarming. How is the young Amer
lean TO be induced to take to the sea
The question is a complicated one
but promotions, pay and social statu:
have 1t great deal to do with it's solu
ton. Congress can handle the frs
two; the third must be left with tn,
navy itself. But the solution of tn
first two would go far toward solvin
the third. If promotions from the rank
were encouraged and pay We're ade
quate the American sailor man woul

Governor ToOle, in keeping with the
chief executive of the nation, has des.
ignated Thursday, the 30th inst. as the
day for general thanksgiving in this
state. The governor eloquently mar
shals the many blessings for which we
should feel grateful. He says, in part:
"As a state We are entering upon a
new era of material prosperity. Our
population is rapidly increasing; our
mineral wealth is being more fully
exploited; our agricultural resources,
heretofore neglected, are being extern
s:vely and intelligently developed;
our cities and towns are leaping into
generous and healthy rivalry for COM
mercial and social supremacy; our
public school system is firmly estab-
lshed in the confidence and affection
OF the people; no less sacred and Sc
cure should be our higher educational
institutions which, under the control
OF the state, are moving forward ma
jestically to their manifest destiny;
religion flourishes, charity abounds
and state pride is well nigh lniver

Who murdered old man StudzinsN
is likely to ever remain mystery.
The failure of a PinkertOn detective
to find evidence sufficient to bind
over the young men arrested and sus-
pected of having something to do with
the crime was anticipated. While the
public was anxious that the perpetra-
tors of this foul crime should be
brought to light and punished, it SEEM
cd to be just as indignant lest an in
nocent man should be made to suffer
for an offense of which he was not
guilty. While we sincerely believe that
those placed under arrest were false
ly accused or suspicioned we must
consider that the task of detective
is not an easy one and that the ar
rests were made on transformation
MIR. Lavigne. as is frequently the case
found witnesses who were quite sure
on certain points until brought into
court. Testifying under oath made
them more cautious, and weakened
the case and the whole proceeding
fell to the ground for lack of evidence
The authorities have shown a COM
mendable spirit in making an effort to
bring the criminals to justice and
whether any other detective would
have met with better success is clear
ly matter of conjecture.
