MAY LET DOWN
 BARS AT YALE

It is stated semi-offcially that the Sheffield Scientific School, the second largest department of Yale University, favors the abrogation of the rule which compels a candidate for admis- sion to pass his preliminary examina- ton in at least five subjects or other wise repeat his work. The change which Is of the highest importance for the candidates and for the preparatory schools cannot be carried through un- less adopted also by the other under graduate brapch. the academic depart ment, but a similar movement Is ac- lively in progress in the academic de- partment and in both departments the change of the rule is looked for be- fore long,
 The movement for abolishing the rule has been immediately due to the returns from the entrance examina- tions for the two departments held last June and September. These show that in the academic branch no less than A per cent. of the preliminary candidates failed to receive preliminary certificates as they failed to pass in at least five subjects and must there fore repeat their work. In 1908 the per centage was but 31 per cent. and the highest during any one of the eight years previous to 1909 was 37 per cent, sinking to 19 per cent. in 1903.

NEW B. X NJ. TALK
New Haven Road Acquiring Stock to
 Give Control to HJIding Co.

The Boston News Bureau notes that some undisclosed interest" has been buying considerable amounts of Bos- ton & Maine stock at between S154 and Sl55 per share and says that it Is un- derstood that the purchaser is the New Haven & Hartford railroad, which will turn the stock thus acquired over to the Boston Holding Company at a price to be agreed upon later. The object is to give to the Holding Com rany an actual 51 per cent. control of Boston & Maine stock At present the Holding Company owns SIS. .155. 900 or AIS per cent. of the s31. .421. 900 Bos- ton & Maine preferred and common outstanding. To secure 51 per cent of Boston & Maine stock would require the acquisition of S2,s6s.S10 more stock or 2s,6SS shares.
 It is believed that the New Haven will continue the rate of dividend of the B. & M. at per cent.

GOVERNOR HUGHES
 TO CONTROL STATE
Death of Comptroller Gaus Forces Him to Become Party Leader, His
 Friends Say.

New York. Nov. 1.-Governor Hughes is to-day in a position to secure con- trol of the New York State Repub ican organization and to have at his back when the next Republican National Convention meets. the united delega- tion from his own state. For the first time since he was ''pitchforked into play" through his good work in end- ing the Insurance steals. Hughes has been able to take over the state leader ship. If he will name a politician to succeed Charles H. Gaus. state comp troller. who died yesterday in his Can adian hunting camp. Hughes will con trol nearly all of the real patronage in the state and through this patron age he can get the machine. Inasmuch as 1t is admitted President Taft's ad- vocacy of Senator Aldrfch on his west ern trip has stirred up real opposition to the President in the middle west. several of the state delegations from there are likely to be anti-Taft. Hughes friends assert that now he must act and take the machine as President Roosevelt is likely one of these days to intimate that he might like to become a candidate. And the comptroller's office patronage Is fully as good as that of Governor. Through it anti-Hughes leaders have kept their organizations in line.
 It will also gives Hughes control of the state legislature and will mean that the legislature which meets in January will have to pass a direct primaries bill acceptable to the Gov ernor. The death of Gaus. friends of Pushes insist to-day. means that Hughes must become the party leader in the state. that he must wipe out the old leaders who opposed him in the past by their favorite weapon-patron- age-and that he must take position as a reform Republican and clean up the state congressional delegation which is now hoDelessly reactionary. This the men who are intimate with Hughes delare he can depend on to do.
