TUMOR ON THE BRAIN
Ends Life OF Congressman HOar,
Son of Late Senator

Son of Late Senator
Worcester, Mass, Nov. 2.-Congress-
loan lockwood Hoar, son Of the late
Senator George F. Hoar, died last night
at his home here after an illness of
about five weeks. He was taken i'll on
Sept. 20 and since that time he has been
confined to his bed. At the time of his
denomination his written letter of ac-
ceptance was presented to the district
convention.
The illness of Hoar was diagnosed
by physicians as neuralgia of the head
and was not thought at first to be Of a
serious nature. Later, however, the
symptoms became alarming, the pa
tient growing steadily weaker, and five
days ago an operation was performed
as last resort. In spite of this opera
ton, the patient continued to fail and
during the last few days his condition
had been regarded as practically hope
less. A tumor on the brain was the
cause of death.
Congressman Hoar's nomination for
congress followed very closely the
death of his father in 1904. He had
been previously district attorney in
Worcester county and had held various
offices of political preferment He was
born in Worcester in 1866. His wife

kThe Bay State Contest


-EaZ-6+==A- new and remark.
bter in the political history Of
Ehusetts has been made by the
tate canvass which was closed last
night. 1t is a story of a bitter conflict
IL public opinion over the radical move
ment, inspired and carried out by one
man. John B. Moran. the district attor-
ney of Suffolk county, who has been
three times nominated for governor
and the traditional conservatism in
Massachusetts politics, represented IN
this case by the Republican party,
which has renominated for governor
Curtis Guild, Jr., of Boston
Unprecedented issues and unprece-
denied interest have featured this eX-
traordnary contest. Moran, who was
nominated by the Democratic, Prohi-
biton parties and the independence
League, has been greeted in his tour
Of the state by an outpouring of the
people and by demonstrations every
where. Guild has likewise received
ovatiOnS.
All signs point to record breaking
vote being cast in Massachusetts. The
heated campaign has drawn the inter-
est of the stay-at-homes, and both sides
expect the voters will turn out as never
before. The Republicans have made a
special effort to get out the vote III the
western part of the state.
Victory is claimed by both sides.
Chairman Feeney of the Democratic
state committee thinks Moran will
carry the state by 10000, while Chair
man Talbot of the Republican state
committee puts Guilds high mark at
$4,000
Great interest centres III the vote Of
Boston. For some days ruulors have
been afloat to the effect that Moran
might be cut in the city, but the Demo
cratic leaders stoutly deny this. Mayor
Fitzgerald issued a statement last night
claiming 10000 plurality for Moran in
Boston. This estimate is somewhat
smaller than was expected, since some
Of the Moran men claim the city by
10000.
The silent vote will have a big factor
in deciding the situation. 1t will be
more potent than ever this year and that
is why political prophets are more or
less at sea.

PROPHETS AT SEA
No Positive Prediction on the
Election In New York
BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT
Wall Street Bets Favor Hughes,
but Party Lines Cannot Be
Depended Upon to Deliver Vote
--Up-State Is Doubtful

New York, Nov. 6-Predictions can
not be said to throw any helpful light
on the political situation in this state
Republican state headquarters conf
IDENTIFY expect plurality of not less
than 100000, while the managers OF
the Independence League and Demo
cratic joint campaign anticipate l5O,-
600 votes to spare in Greater New
York and to which they add plurality
of $4,000 above the Harlem river.
The political thermometer in Wall
street has varied from odds of 31s to
on the election of Republican govern
or to to l and back to 4 to l, at which
figures the greater number of bets on
the curb were placed.
In spite of the confidence expressed
OIL both sides, none will deny that
never before could party lines be less
confidently depended upon to deliver
the regular vote.
Mr.. Hughes, named by the Republi-
cans for governor, has received the en-
dorsement of many old line Democrats
who objected to the action of the Demo
cratic convention at Buffalo. On the
other hand, Mr. Hearst, the candidate
OF the independence League and Of the
Democratic organization, has invaded
the upstate strongholds. That he will
draw from the Republican vote in GER
tain sections is generally conceded.
The Republicans have always count
cd upon the upstate counties to roll up
a vote to more than offset the Demo
cratic plurality in Greater New York,
but this year upstate can hardly be
described as pitted against the metropo-
lis.
The final word of each standard
bearer last night was promise to his
supporters of a great victory.
Late last night State Chairman
Woodruff gave out this final message
from Republican headquarters: "a
glorious victory will have been won if
every voter does his duty as we'll as Mr..
Hughes and his associates ON the anti
Hearst-Murphy-C Corners state ticket
have done during the campaign"
Chairman Ihmsen of the Independ-
ence League state committee at late
hour last night issued the following:
II have no reason to change my mind
as to the result of the election. Mr..
Hearst will be elected governor of the
state of New York by 100000 plurality
Our friends up the state are not at all
dismayed by the great sums of money
that the Republican managers have
seat up there"

Few people fully appreciate the
great size of the Chesapeake bay. 1t
is the largest indentation on the At

called the Mediterranean Of America.
On its bosom the navies of the world
could easily float. 1t is 200 miles long,
and in some places it is forty miles
broad. 1t has an area of over 1000
square miles, and it shoots off into
