CAREFUL CANVASS
SHOWS TAFT WINS
His Plurality in New York
State Will Reach
100000.
COMMITTEE SURPRISED.
BRYAN WILL CARRY NEW YORK
CITY, IT Is SHOWN BOTH
HITCHCOCK AND ROOSEVELT
ARE CONFIDENT.

New York, Oct. 29-The Brooklyn
Eagle last night published the follow
ing:
Taft's plurality in New York, $780,
600.
Hughes's plurality, $4,000.
Bryan's plurality in Greater New
York, 1900.
Bryan to lose Queens county.
Debs to run ahead of Hisgen in this
state.
Shearn to get twice as many votes
as Hisgen in New York.
The foregoing is summary of the
result of what is perhaps the most sys-
tematic canvass that has been taken
in New York state in this campaign.
1t was conducted under the direction
of the republican national committee,
and the results are largely responsible
for the conviction which President
Roosevelt and Chairman Hitchcock
have that Taft will carry this state and
be elected.
The biggest surprise which the men
who handled this canvass got was in
New York city. They could hardly
believe the indicated vote for Bryan.
If their returns are at all reliable the
democratic candidates is going to get
a pitifully small vote IN Manhattan.
The estimate of $1,000 plurality is de-
clared to be liberal.
The same canvass indicated that
Debs, the Socialist candidate. will get
a much larger vote than most persons
look for. He is expected to run ahead
of Hisgen. the presidential candidate
on the Independence party ticket.
Chairman Hitchcock believes that
New York is the pivotal state. and
that as it goes so the election goes.
The president and Hitchcock are both
absolutely confident that Taft will
carry New York with more than 1OO.-
600 plurality, and that this will clinch
victory. Those who talk for few
moments with the cautious and ultra
conservative Mr.. Hitchcock are left in
no doubt regarding his opinion of the
result

Jsil-Breaker Captured.

George Germaine, 2s, alias Geo. Ro- gers, alias Geo. Vain, who was await ing trial for grand larceny, in Hudson, N. N who broke Jail there May ao,h, but was captured in thls city early last Saturday morning and turned over to the New York State officials Sunday.
 Word was received tn police circles ot the mans escape, with card on which was printed his photograph, to- gethef with an offer of siD0 reward for his capture. The letter stated that Ger maine had relatives In this city and would he likely tn show up here sooner or later. He was finally located tn a house In the upper part of the city, and about one o'clock Saturday morn ing officers surrounded the house and took him into custody, locking him in the cage at headquarters.
 Hudson officers were notified, and In reply said they would come on imme- diaiely.
 Germaine has had bad record of ,io- ings crowded into the last half dozen years. He left Putnam when h years old, and inside one year was landed In the Refofmatory at Elmifa, \. Y, He escaped from that institution after a brief stay, but was feeapturd aud finally paroled. Later he enlisted tn the army and says he served out his time. He has done short sentences In various places for minor crimes, and his latest arrest does nol break his spir- il in the least degree.
 He was taken back io Hudson Mon- day. He was shnckled to one of the officers.
 The Hudson sheriff told the local of- iicers that Germaine was one of the toughest propositions that he has en- conntered In many day, and 1t was necessary to watch him every minute. In speaking of his escape from the jail at Hudson the sheriff said that Ger maine had not been allowed out of his cell for three weeks previous to May aD, the day of his sensational escape. On that day Germaine pleaded so hard to be allowed il bath that he was taken up to the bath room by a keeper and locked in. Once inside and alone Ger maine climbed up the sides of the room, made what seemed an impossible swing for rafter, smashed out an nnproteet- ed skylighi and dropped 8o fees to the ground and liberty. Ills escape was almost immediately discovered and posse sent la pursuit. Germaine crawl cd Into an empty freight car Of train standing al the station, eluding crowd of twenty-five pursners.
 Hid away in a dark corner of the car he escaped detection by the prison otli- cial, who peered into hls hiding place from the open door, and minute later the train pulled out and he was safe. Germaine says he went to Albany, where he loitered around for week, and then beat his way out to Chicago, and finally came back to Putnam.

Uniting the Talent and Energy of New
 England 10 Improve its Condition.

| w ssssfaVF& US SOu0stiUus
 The idea of bringing together New
 England States in an effort to further the welfare of this most needy seeton of the country, is spreading and gaining strength. The Springfield Board of Trade, this week, adopted resolutions on the subject, which were sent to Governor Guild.
 Alter pointing out that States in oth- CT parts of the country are uniting to promote their severel interests, and that as New England possesses com eination of agricultural, industrial, ed ueationai advantages surpassed by no other section of the country, it should do the same, and then adopted the fol- lowing resolutions.
 Resolved, That In the judgment of the Springfield Board of Trade, it is high time that the New England States sgot together in an earnest effort to do something for New England
 z Resolved, that the Springfield Board of Trade is strongly of the opinion that conference should be called for the purpose of considering the question of how the interests of New England can best be promoted.
 The PATRIOT is a believer in the DOW er of combination 10 accomplish great things-things never yet dreamed of, not only for the good of the general world, but any section of that world.
 If New England should select it's best men, in whom the people had con- tidenee. to meet together in council to concert measures to develop to greater degree it's varied known and latent resources for the benefit, comfort and elevation of it's people, it would not follow they could, individually or col actively, advance those interests one step. It shouldn't be expected of them When Congress meets to make proNis- ion for its navy, it's army, agricultural or any of the many other departments into which the government k divided, the members do not plan or suggest what should be done. They call upon the ablest. wisest, talented and most ex- perienced men not only in the country but in the world, to offer plans and efficiency any and all the great needs of the country. They call upon Edison to offer suggestions for anything need ed in his line; to advance our agfical- tural interests, Secretary Wilson and the experts in his Department are call ed upon, and so on to get the best sug then nothing practical has been accom-. plished. Ne call on eNpe perienced ship builders To construct our navies. the great foundries to east and construct artillery, expert meehanicians to make guns and everything needed in their line, until the government needs are there is to be found.
 Somewhere in the nation there exists men, with natural talents 10 produce whatever is required that is to be made or devised, whether Il is to sail through the air under oceans or travel under ground, or to construct new devices for any imaginable purpose.
 such a Council as that suggested have but 10 meet, ask the world to make suggestions to aid their delibera- tions-ofiering to pay well for every thing that proves useful or valuable. It will prove amazing to learn how many and how simple are the unknown ways of increasing the prosperity of New England.

WILL WALK TO
PHILADELPHIA
IN BARE FEET
Peter BiISrav Must Walk to
Quaker CRY in Three Days,
According 10 Agreement.
$Io0 IF HE DOES IT
Start Will Be Made Saturday
Morning at 8:I5 O'clock From
II2 Fayefle Street.

His winning of wager Tuesday
when he walked barefoot through
the principal streets has prompted
Peter Bilgrav, of 203 Elm street, a
boss painter, to undertake a much
more difficult feat. He has agreed
to start on tramp to Philadelphia
in his bare feet Saturday morning.
Among Bilgrav and some friends
yesterday afternoon the task which
Bilgrav performed Tuesday afternoon
was the main topic of discussion and
Bilgrav said he would be willing to
bet he could walk to Philadelphia,
within three days without shoes or
stockings, and not feel any i'll effects.
Peter Kaas and Peter Damn
placed 500 in the hands of Carl
Cartensen, Of 112 Fayette street, as
wager that Bilgrav could not do as
he said. Bilgrav was game, and a
contract was drawn up and was sign
ed by him and Kaas, and 1t has now
been agreed to start from Carten-
sens cafe at. 8:15 o'clock Saturday
morning. The terms of the contract,
which was shown to a NEWS report
er, are that, If Bilgrav walks from
this city to 80 Philadelphia within
seventy-two hours, in his bare feet,
he Is to receive 500.
In Philadelphia Bilgrav is to re-
port to the Office of the Police Gazette
and on the trip he is to stop at diff
ferent places. In Metuchen he will
stop at the police station, and in New
Brunswick at the Office of the Home
News. Bilgrav will be accompanied
by Peter Damn, and another man
and Damn Is to call up the Office of
the EVENING NEWS from every
city through which they pass and tell
of the progress they have made, and,
when they arrive In Philadelphia, the
NEWS will be notified.
The friends of Bilgrav and those
with whom the bet was made declare
that the start will be made on time
and that Bilgrav will not back out
despite the condition of the weather.
