today by as great and enthusiastic an
audience as that which listened to
Judge w. H. Taft on the opening day.

by David R. Francis, Of st. Louis, was
the signal for applause that forced

section was there such demonstration
as greeted Governor Curry and Dele
gate Andews at Wagon Mound yes
terday afternoon and evening. 1t had
been planned to hold but one meet
ing and that in the evening but the
demand for words from the candidate
and the governor were so great that
two gatherings were held. More than
four hundred people, half Of whom
were from the country, were present
at each meeting. The governor ex-
planned the advantages of statehood
and how the only sure way to secure
it was by sending Delegate Andrews
back to Congress for anoIner term.
Mr.. Andrews, who was greeted with
a spontaneous outburst of applause,
explained that if elected he never
expected to take his seat, for the ter
ritory would become a state before
he could do so. The party left at an
early hour this morning for Ration,
where a meeting was held today. Hon.
Eugenio Romero was brought to
Las Vegas last evening and is report

of Belgrade. This morning thousands
of demonstrators forced their way to
the precincts of the Palace and de-
manded to see King Peter. The crowd
became SO threatening that troops and
the gendarmes were finally called out.
They surrounded the Palace and had
to charge the crowd several times be-
fore the war-fevered patriots were
dispersed. The patriots are much
dissatisfied with the tone of the pro-
test made by Servia against the oc.
cupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

not represent the true feelings of the
nation, which would rather 60 to war
than acquiesce in this act Of Austro-

the government of liberal support in
the shape of money, men and arms in
the event of hostilities.

The record attendance at the Polo
Grounds is a shade over 10000, but
this was far exceeded today and it is
estimated that no less than 100000
people witnessed the game. So dense
was the crowd that ground rules were
made necessary, a hit into the crowd
counting but for two bases. The
weather conditions were ideal.
The members of the Chicago club
arrived on an early morning train
from the West. They were in fine
condition and cheerful spirits for the
supreme struggle and everyone felt
confident of winning the game. They
were welcomed by a large crowd at
tho station.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31-In his fore
cast Of the composition of the electoral
college made public at the republican
headquarters last night National
Chairman Hitchcock claims 325 repub-
lican members, or S3 more than will
be required to elect their candidates.
For the republican ticket Hitchcock
is sure of New York, Ohio and Indi-
ana. He also includes in the republi-
can column Nebraska Montana, Mary
land and Nevada. In explaining
his list Hitchcock said he believed the
chances were even in Kentucky and
Missouri, with their thirteen and eigh-
teen votes respectively. II by any
chance any of the states claimed
should go democratic he said they
would be Maryland, Montana, and Ne
vada, with total Of IA votes. This
would leave republican margin Of
SO and of this advantage he expressed
himself perfectly confident. The ma
| tional chairman does not include Ten
nessee and Oklahoma in his list and
comedies the chances in these states
are against the republican ticket. His
forecast, Hitchcock said, was based
upon information received by him up
to last night from party leaders
I throughout the United States.

Not to Hurt Taft's Candidacy.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 31.--A relative of
close associates of Rockefeller declare
the announcement of his support to
Taft is tae logical outcome of state
ments early last fall. W. c. Rudd, a
brother-in-law of Rockefeller, declared
it was foolish to suppose the announce
ment was for the purpose of hurting
Taft. He referred to Rockefeller's
statement early in the campaign OF
approval to Taft's candidacy as he has
always been Republican. His support
is merely that of party man.
