HITCHCOCK SURE

Postmaster General Solid With Taft on Account of His
 Business Methods
Especial from United Press.)

NSp6Cldl OIltSo CSS.(
 Washington, Nov. 1-Postmaster General Hitchcock is permanent fix ture in the Taft cabinet. The Presi- dent is delighted with the progress of the postal work and credits the head of that department with such unusual business acumen that he in tends to hold onto him. This is the authoritative answer, today, to recent rumors that President Taft contem- plated recognizing the cabinet and relegating Hitchcock to the back ground.
 Hitchcock has reduced the postal de- felt by more than s11, 100000 by the introduction of modern business meth ods. new plan for which legisla- tion will be asked by President Taft, this winter, is the introduction of one cost of operation, will be offset by a new scheme in second class matter. Fraternal and religious magazines are to be carried at the old rate of one cent a pound. In the cases of fiction and general magazines, the reading matter and advertising are to be sep arated, the former to pay the old cent a pound rate and the latter to De charged several cents additional.
 The government has always lost money on the second class mail mat ter The new plan is credited With the merit of taxing the magazines according to the degree of the pros- perity, as represented in the amount of advertising"

President Taft believes that all local Federal officials, collectors of customs, internal revenue officers of all classes, etc, should be under the classified service and their tenure of office dependent on economy and efficiency, instead of political pull.

NORWALK RECOUNT CASE,
 IS NOT YET DECIDED

Uncertainty still hovers over the Norwalk ballot recount. Yesterday afternoon the question of the dis puted ballots was again brought be- fore Judge William H. Williams in the Superior court. No decision was reached, the case being continued till Friday afternoon following the com pletion of the short calendar list for that day. The case may be settled that day if counsel in the case can be prevailed upon to stop arguing. There is so much involved, and the future politics of the city at stake, that the barristers never miss a point. Attorney J. B. Hurlbutt talk ed at great length on the 21 points raised, it being for that number of reasons why the counters held out 341 ballots. Attorney John J. Walsh went over the same grounds pointing out where he differed with his broth CT counsel. In the few remarks which the court made. he is of the opinion that the instructions on the stub on the ballot were not clear, and do not fully cover the splitting of ticket. The court does not con- tend that ballots are void where the voter made a cross before the name on the ballot and outside the voting space, the intention of the voter be- ing quite clear.
