Committee:
Thorough and accurate canvasssa
which have been made throughout the
State Of New YORK indicate that Taft's
plurality outside Of the city win exceed

these returns. In which have absolute
confidence. I now am ready to predict
that the State win give q sure plurality
Of over eo.ooo for President Taft.
This outcome will be due to the we'll
considered and fixed belief that Mr..
Wilson IL q man Of uncertain mind.
with no practical conception of public
a6airs. and that. II elected. with q
Democratic Senate and q Democratic
House. his radical tendencies and the
slant Of the Democratic party. imbued
with the ideas Of Mr.. Bryan, win lead
to Industrial depression and material
distress to all.
Rosssvelt No Contender.
The vote for Mr.. Roosevelt In New
York will not exceed one-sixth of the
total vote, but, representing as It does,
similar radicalism to that Of Mr. Wilson,
It is drawing heavily from that element
In the State which otherwise would sup
port the Democratic ticket The attack
made by the Progressive forces upon

tunately. In this State. are not of sum-
ciept numbers to subvert our American

LARGE HANGARS ERECTED

An aeroplane station has been
established at Soldiers Beach by R.
j. Collier, the magazine man, of
New York The first flight of the
hydroplane of the Wright type was
postponed on account of the rain
this afternoon. Men worked all
morning assembling the machine
under the direction of Walter
Brookins and o. G. Simmons, the
noted aviators, and it would have
been tested this afternoon had
weather been favorable.
The machine which Mr.. Collier
will soon handle is the first of It's
kind ever used in this country. In
construction it is somewhat similar
to the one used by Coffin at New
York. 1t has more power and from
all reports has many features which
the Wright Brothers alone can use
on machines. Two hangers have
been erected by Charles Davidson,
of Keyport, besides a shed twenty
feet high, fifty feet wide and forty
feet deep.
Mr.. Collier, who resides at Wick
atunk, will be at his station every
uay when weather permits of flight.
Mr.. Collier, although not expert
enced in the game, has secured the
services of Walter Brookins, who
will teach him to handle his own
craft. Mr.. Simmons has just return
ed from the west, where he was in
charge of the Wright stations
The first party of newspapermen
to be given the honor of using the
machine will be entertained at the
hotel the early part of next week,
after which a flight will be made.
Mr.. Simmons will be personally in
charge. In the party will be James
Elverson, Jr., proprietor of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, and H. G.
Harkins, a magazine writer. The
EVENING NEWS has been invited
to have a representative in the
plane.
Mr.. simmons in an interview with
a NEWS writer this morning stated
that Soldiers Beach was an ideal
spot for aeroplanes, especially the
type to be used by Mr.. Collier. Be
sides ample room over marshland
the broad expanse of the bay can be
used by the Wright hydro-aeroplane,
