Republican Gain 10000 to

the Claim.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-with a big
corps Of workers IN the field making
personal appeals 10 workingmen, and
especially TO members Of trade unions.
arguing with them that their real
interest lies in supporting the Repub-
liCan ticket. the Republican managers
are getting returns on their hard fight
10 line up the labor vote.
They are especially pleased with the
fact that New York city's registration
has shown a gain Of 10000 in Repub-
licsn districts and loss Of $4,000 in
Democratic districts in the city Va
riOus explanations are made by the
Democrats. but none is so satisfac- ory
as would be a reversal Of these Ilg-
Ures.
Polls and straw votes in factories.
stores. etc. are being reported con-
stantly, and the Republicans derive
great satisfaction from them. The
story was told today of q series Of polls
very carefully taken. cmong g-oups Of
worlSingnen Of various trades; a total
of about 1,y0O men were roIIed giving
their Presidential votes four years ago
ana their intended vote this year. The
result was so surprising that some Of
the people in charge Of it who had been
firmly convinced that there was really q
drift 10 Bryan would hardly believe the
figures.
Taft Stronger Than Teddy.
They showed a larger vote this year
for Taft than was given four years ago
to Roosevelt. In the entire number
polled, the Tart vote showed about C
per cent larger than was the Roosevelt
vote in 1901 That there should have
been such ar increase was considered
at first 10 indicate that something must
be wrong with the poll
But further investigation convinced
those IN charge that the poll was cor
rect. for the same people voted. on the
same cards. on governor Of New York
The vote on governor showed a loss OF
Hughes, votes about three times as large
aS tha gain Of Taft comparing Hughes
vote for this year with that cast on
governor two years ago
If this poll is r,pOrt Of conditions
among the working people in the city.
1t indicates q great sweep 10 Taft. and
su even greater one against Hughes II
would point TO Taft carrying New
York by a huge majority and 70 the
certain defeat of Hughes.

Logan made the following statement
about the affair:
In view OF developments, possibly
my daughter and myself will be
charged with prosecuting or persecut-
ing a dying man. and in contradiction
Of this / want to say that 1t is through
the efforts OF Mrs Tucker and myself
that Colonel Tucker was being trans
ferred from private sanitariuIl to al
army hospital. where he might receive
better attention. We applied to the
War Department to have Colonel
Tucker removed 10 an army hospital.
where he might receive the treatment
20 which he is entitled"
TLe records Of the War Department
show that such an application was
made and that the department had
acted upon II.
Mrs. Logan expressed the hope that
the removal OF Colonel Tucker to an
army hospital would cause him 10 cease
his alleged attentions 10 Mrs. Platte,
who is alleged by Mrs. Logan and her
daughter as having been the cause OF
the marital troubles between the colonel
and his wife. She said that Mrs
Tucker had never sued for a divorce
and never intended 10 do so: that she
had merely asked for an examination
OF Colonel fuckers conduct while in
Lue Fhlnpplnes, where he is said to
have met Mrs. Platte
The records of the department show
ulal such an investigation WSs held
and that the department had found
nothing in Colonel fuckers private life
ot which II might take co~nizance.
Mrs. Tucker says she has not seen her
husband In more than a year. nor has
she received one cent from him. Her
husband, she alleged, does not visit her
him.
Although it is possible that court
martia! might be held in the event
colonel Tucker is found guilty OF wife

AT the War Department today, that
such a course is unlikely. in view Of the

Ignores Servian Claim.
Austria has indicated that she will ab-

tory. She argues that as Servia was
not a signatory to the treaty, the latter
should have no voice in the conference.
Austria's stubbornness on this point
Is only matched by Servia's insistence,
and diplomats here see no way OF
avoiding a rupture.

day that she was ready for any move
