MISSOURI REMAINS
IN REPUBLICAN FOLD
THE VOTE.

st. Louis, Nov. 9.-Supplementary re-
turns early today failed to disturb ma
terially Taft's lead of 4,235 in Missouri.
The state legislature seems liked at a
democratic majority Of six on joint bal
lot, although this is subject to change.
What doubts now exist relate mostly
to minor state offices and the const
tutional amendments proposed for
adoption.
The returns compiled give Taft 317, 124
votes and Bryan 312, s89, a plurality for
Taft of 1925.
Hadley's plurality for governor is
16, 993. Returns, almost complete, give
Stone the democratic nomination for
senator yer Folk by 1899.
Stone Is assured of reelection to the
Senate provided all democrats in he
legislature abide by the advisory vote
of the primary. That they will do this
is by no means certain, and there are
predictions tonight of a senatorial
deadlock.
Lieutenant Governor John G. McKin-
ley has probably won the republican
senatorial nomination over Richard c..
Kerens by about $4,000 votes. The
doubt as to the state ticket other thar
governor is by no means removed.

MARYLAND VOTE DIVIDED;
NEGRO VOTERS ILLiTERATE

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 9.-Although
returns have been received from two
missing counties and the count in Bal
timore city is almost complete, the re-
suit of the election on president still
is in doubt. From the latest figures 1t
is certain that Bryan will nave six
electors and may be seven. Taft is
sure of one.
Baltimore, Md, Nov. 6.-The official
oun has not been completed, but 1T
now seems probable the electoral vote
of Maryland will be diveded, seven to
Bryan and one to Taft.
This result is a precise duplication
of what occurred in the presidential
election Of 1904, and the reason is that,
apparently more republicans than DEM
ocrats marked their ballots for the first
name in the electoral only.
1t is considered to be due chiefly to
the ballot law, which prohibits the
party emblem. The illiterate voter fire.
quently marks his ballot so that it
counts only for the first elector on the
ballot, and as the republican illiterate,
because of the large number of negroes
in that party. is greater than the dem
ocratic, there is always a considerable
discrepancy between the vote received
by the first republican elector han the
others.

New York, Nov. IO--Postmaster
Edward M. Morgan, While on the
way to his office. was shot through
the stomach at One Hundred and
Forty-sixth street and Broadway
today by Erich Fl. B. Mackey, a
fstenographer, who then shot and
killed himself.
At first it was feared Mr.. Nor
igan's wound was fatal, but upon
closer examination physicians be-
!Ilieye the postmaster has a chance
of recovery.
Mackey died instantly after fir
ing three shots into his head.
At the office of Hunt, Hill &
Belts, lawyers, where Mackey
Was employed, he was held in high
esteem. His employers say they
arc completely at a loss to explain
his act.
Clew in Letters.
The only clew thus far found
which may have bearing on the
tragedy is contained in a number
of letters found in Maclzey's desk.
These indicate that about a year
ago he had complained to the post
master that some of his mail had
not been properly delivered.
Mr.. Morgan regained conscious
ness while the physicians were
working on him. He said he never
saw his assailant until he con-
froffted him this morning. He
knows no reason for the attack.
Mr.. Morgan has been postmas-
ter of New York since 1907.
Course of Bullet.
The single bullet fired by Mackey at
Morgan struck the latter in the right
side of the abdomen and passed out at
the left side without penetrating the
walls. There was no Internal bleeding
and there is no apparer reason why
Morgan should not recover
Mackey's employers declared they
could account for the tragedy only on
the theory that he is insane. Besides
the revolver. 1t was found Mackey
carried a dagger and a sl%ungshot.
Daughter Is Witness.
Mackey is an Englishn.an, 81 years
old. The shooting took place in the
presence of Miss Dorothy Morgan, IA
years old, daughter of the postmaster,
who was accompanying him to the sub
way station on her way to school.
Mackey had been pacing up and
down the sidewalk neal the corner Of
Broadway Inc One Hundred and Forty
sixth street for two hours before the
shooting. When Morgan and his
daughter left their homo and walked
toward Broadway. Mackey turned down
The side street and met them. Evil
IDENTIFY he had never seen the postmas-
ter before. for. as he met Morgan. he
asked:
Shots Fired.
Are you Postmaster Morgan?" and
at Morgan's affirmative reply, Mackey
drew the revolver and fired one shot
into the postmaster's abdomen. The
wounded man fell to the sidewalk and,
as two witnesses to the shooting came
running up, Mackey lay down on the
sidewalk. opened his YES and sent one
bullet into his head and another into
his heart. He was dead when the first
man reached him. Mr.. Morgan was
carried into his own home and a ply
stefan vas hastily summoned.
