For eleven years Etienne Burbans, .
French cook, and Margaret StOck-at least

week ago Margaret met John Stock, whom
she knew years ago, and she was married
to him the same day. The two began to

Twenty-sixth street.
Thither went Burbans yesterday after
spending a week at the Columbia lodging

BY this time all the women in the house

CHEN4NgO sTRONG ron HUGHES
Predicted That He WIN Get About the Same
Plurality There ~ Roosevelt.

Plurality There ~ ROOaeVelt.
NoRwIcH, N. Y, Oct. S0.-Hughes, eco;
Hearst and the Socialists, $500; plurality
for Hughes, 2,6S1-this is what the canvass
books OF the Republican chairman forecast
for Chenango county. This Is within y
votes OF what Roosevelt drew. Whether
the Hughes plurality will come up to the
forecast depends upon how extensive is
the Republican dislike of Senator Aids,
Republican, who has been renominRted.
Some Republicans will cut Aids, and some
will vote the full Democratic ticket as
protest against Republican conduct at
Albany. seq,
Numerous split tickets are likely. The
proportion Of boiling Democrats is greater
than in the Bryan campaign; in fact, many
earnest Bryan Democrats have come out
against Hearst. As an Indication OF the
Democratic feeling there is a true copy OF
the canvass OF Democrats in n district
OF Norwich who will vote Republican:
A. E. Bradley. dentist; W. b. Benton,
clergyman: B. F. Berrager, William H.
Conway, station master; William W. Daily
shop foreman; Walter Foster, merchant;
h. p. Holmes, merchant; w. G. Harttgan,
superintendent Ontario and Western; Frank
Harrington, quarter; William Mason, cash
lawyer; E. s. Reynolds, drummer; w. N.
Rockets, Government employee; II. b.
Smith, undertaken; A. B. Stuart, book
keeper, and Z. A. Wood, retired. Charles
W. Ollandorf, who has voted the Demo
cratic ticket for sixty-one years, since the
campaign Of James X. Polk, has changed
this yea most reluctantly. Other we'll
known Norwich Democrats who have done
likewise are p. X. Moxsey, NJ. W. Cox,
George o. Munson OF Smyrna, W. II. Sulli-
van,t the last county chairman, and Michael
Finegan.
No campaign at all is being made by the
Democrats for the head of The ticket. As
in st. Lawrence county, acompact has been
entered into between the Democrats and
Republicans to the effect that neither shall
pay out money as extra inducement TO
voters to vote. At the Independence
League headquarters there is a torpor be-
cause OF the lack OF funds.

Special Cable Despatch 10 TIM sun.
LONDON, Oct. 3l.-The Berlin correspon-
dent OF the Times says he has authority
for asserting that according to the con-
vention which, it is expected, will be urani-
mously adopted by the International Wire
less Telegraph Conference the choice of
systems will be absolutely free.
There will be no question Of imposing
any particular system on the world by this
or any other conference. All reports Of
attempts to coerce. out vote or cajole the
British delegation are untrue. The British
delegates from the first took a strong atti-
tude and made il clear that they would re-
turn home without a convention II the points
they considered essential were not arranged
satisfactorily.
The correspondent denies the stories OF
Great Britain being deprived Of colonial
representation and reduced to the same
position as Servia. He says that at future
conferences Great Britain and her colonies
will have six votes compared with one vote
allowed TO Russia and n to other co1n-
tries that do not nave colonies.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3D. M. Del
mas, the California lawyer engaged
as chief counsel for Harry K. Thaw,
said today that he had visited Thaw
in his cell in the Tombs prison and
found him nervous wreck. Mr.. Del
mas said:
Judging from my single interview
with him, which took place yesterda5
afternoon, the young man is 1aboring
under great excitement and is evident
iy of a highly nervous temperament.
1T is true that some time ago Jo-
seph H Choate was approached in
behalf Of Mr.. Thaw by his Pittsburg
attorney, David B. Watson. Mr.. Choate
declined a retainer. John e. Parsons
also was approached, but he declined to
take the case on the ground that he
was too old for such active service.
Now, so far as I know, there will
be no other New York lawyer con-
cerned."
Mr.. Delmas said he had not been in
formed as to when the case would be
called, but believed it would come up
in December.
Regardless of what may be the out
come of the trial, Mr.. Delmas, ac-
cording to the World, will abandon his
residence in California and continue
the practice of his profession in New
York.
The California lawyer viii dominate
the trial throughout, it is understood,
with the full consent of Clifford W.
Hartridge, the attorney of record, and
personal counsel of Thaw.
AS to the retaining fee, the estimate
of eastern lawyers who know the
western lawyers ability is that it
could not have been far short of $780,
0O0
Mr.. Delmas has a striking personal
ity, He has been called the Napoleon
of the Bar in the west, not only be-
cause OF his resourcefulness and his
courage, but because of his facial and
bodily resemblance to the First Con-
sui. He is 55 years of age.

NEW YORK. Nov. 13.--B. B. Odell
of Newburgh, former governor and
ex-chairman of the state Republican
committee, said today that the man.
agement of the Republican state cam
paign was the most JASMINE" that
he ever knew.
The whole state ticket, he said,
might Just as well have been elected.
AS the result stands it looks like
Democratic victory and leaves the
Republican party in bad shape with
a national campaign coming on. The
Republicans, he declared, made no
campaign at all, but put it all on Mr..
Hughes shoulders.
'T heard absolutely nothing about
any state campaign up my way" said
Mr.. Odell. 1--WE did not know there
was a headquarters down here. 1 was
not informed of anything that was
going on.
MY advice was never asked once.
Many of my friends all over the state
have the same experience.
"Even though Mr.. Hughes was tour
ing my county 1 was not notified or
consulted. 1 was not informed of the
smallest Details"
Continuing, Mr.. Odell said:
1.-The people of this state have al
ways resented the interference of a
president of the United States in their
local elections They have done so
since the days of Dewitt Clinton. 1
think that the interference of Presi-
dent Roosevelt did more harm than
good.
II do not wish to appear in the role
of general critic of the conduct of the
campaign, but so far as I can make
out there was no real campaign. No
use was made of the record of the
Republican party. 1t was all a case
of personalities between the candi-
dates for governor"
ct believe" said Mr.. Odell, "that with
intelligent management the entire Re-
publican state ticket could have been
elected.
'I am not knocking, but I am very
much concerned for the future Of the
Republican party
81 believe that by the exercise of
mutual forbearance and consideration
the Republican party can be put in
shape to make a successful campaign
In 19OS."
