PORTLAND, Me-. September IL
Names total vote in the state election
last Monday was the greatest ever cast
in a presidential midterm year. and was
exceeded only by the presidential elec-
ton years of 1880, 1884 and 1888
Complete returns show the states total
vote Monday to have been 1415S4, of
which Frederick w. Plaisted, the demo-
cratic candidate, received 73 801. and
Gov. Bert NJ. Fernald, republican, was
given 65,6S7, making Plaisted's plurality
STA.
Plaisted's vote Monday was almost
identical with that given his father. Har-
ris M. Plaisted. the last democratic gov

Many Sites offered.

Word was received last night from Bal
timore that since the announcement the
meet would be held q large number Of
letters have been received from persons
owning land between Baltimore and
Washington offering sites. Some OF these
are available, but the. majority are not.
Col. Joyce said today that in order to be
fitted for the purpose the land offered
must possess a course of fully twp miles,
and that 1t was almost absolutely neces-
sary for all the inclosed land to be
cleared. SO that the aviator could rise
and alight at will.
The definite announcement that the
National Council will sanction the meet,
with the news that the date had been
arranged. was received by Col. Joyce
from ]. c. Mccoy, chairman Of the con-
test committee. Col. Joyce applied for
the week starting October 81. He was
granted the week starting Wednesday.
November 2, which is more desirable be-
cause there will probably be postponed

mont Park, which will have to be COM

CavaIieri to Do Nothing Unless

WILL NOT BE FIRST TO SUE
Tailor's Suit Against Husband May
Provoke Crisis.
COMPROMISE Is TALKED OF
Family Said to Be Willing to Offer
Cash Settlement of $4,000
and $1,000 Annually.

NEW YORK, September 17.-Although
Nine. Lima Cavalier1 is coming to this
country to fight for her rights under the
prenuptial agreement, whereby her hus-
band, Robert Winthrop Chanler. turned
over to her his fortune, present indica-
tions are that it will be left to the hus-
band or his relatives or creditors to first
institute legal proceedings.
w. Russell Osborn. Cavalieri's attor-
ney. announced tonight that he would
take no further steps. unless the agree
ment is attacked or his client fails to re-
ceive the benefits to which 1t entities her.
The agreement was filed, he said, only
as measure Of protection.
Tailor's Suit May Make Crisis.
1t is generally admitted that interesting
questions win be raised in the trial Of a
suit. now pending. brought against Mr..
Chanler by his tailor to recover $3.50. One
of these questions will be the solvency
of Mr. Chanler. and another, it seems
likely, the legal worth of the agreement
itself as affecting his solvency.
Mr.. Chanler was seen today for the
first time in a week, taking spin in an
automobile with two friends through Cen
trail Park. Because OF the notoriety his
domestic affairs have brought him he has
kept much in seclusion since his return
to this country.
That a compromise between Cavalieri
and her husband would be the means of
settling the controversy was the sub
stance of the talk going on today among
those legally and otherwise connected
with the affair.
The statement by which Chanler gives
to his wife all of his known property,
both real and personal, Is classed as a
conveyance and subtitled miscellaneous.
Compromise Talked OF.
Although. peaceful settlement With
out resort to the courts is hoped for, the
diva showed legal caution in registering
the document.
1t has been rumored that members Of
the Chanler family. in their desire to
bring the matter to close and stop the
notoriety. have made an offer to the
opera singer by which she should cancel
the agreement filed yesterday aud re-
t;ncais: al claim to her husbands prop
erty.
1t is understood that her end Of the
deal under the possible new plan would
be a cash settlement Of $4,000 and an
annual income of half that amount. It Is
probable. however. that no definite agree
ment will come until Nine. Cavalieri-
Chanler reaches this country. since it is
thought that she intends managing the
case in person.
