WILSON STILL LEADS
ANDCOLONEL SECOND
New York Herald's Forecast Shows Taft il
Third Place, but Gaining in Many
Parts of C(untry.

New York. October 20.-FollowtnG u

to-day:
Governor Wilson still In the lead.
Mr.. Roosevelt second and gaining

upon Kim in Milwaukee. but apparent

Each of the three principal rivals
for the great Office is gaining in SEINE
sections. All are losing in some. Pres
dent Taft has made marked advances
in some sections OF the Far West. He
has made further gains in Psnnsyl-
vania- The Republicans in several
States have replaced indifference with
activity. and are making q real cam
paign Tor their nominee. This sudden
reversal Of form on the part OF organi-
cation managers has greatly stiffened
hope.
Mr.. Roosevelt has made gains in H.

holding his own in practically all the

ernor Wilson has gained also. but, on
the whole has just about held his o~n.
This IL accounted for by the theory

situatiOn N . Nstsheu.
In Q nutshell. the situation. a. re-
vealed in the Herald's 100000 and
more test ballots and reports from
scores Of correspondents. 10 a. follows:
Governor Wilson has touched his
high mark. Mr. Roosevelt has reached
the flood tide and Is slightly ebbins.
President Taft Is making slight but
steady gains.
From what can be learned. the at
tempted assassination OF Mr.. Roosevelt
will not greatly strengthen him. IN
dications are that there will be an ad-
d.tional sympathetic or sentimental
vote for him in many sections. but not
SUFFICIENT to affect tie electoral vote.
One result. however. which Is highly
important from the Roosevelt point OF
view, is that the attack upon him has
Draced up wavering Bull Moosers." as
they term themselves. and they are
backing the nominee. Mr.. Roosevelt.

Just how extensive the sympathetic
vote will be II is impo 1sible TO tell
This feature becomes the leading mys-
terry of the campaign Just now. and
every one is striving to solve It. The

They are beginning to ask one another
also II all the straw votes and all the
personal opinions. which agree in
many instances. are to be upset BY
some element which has not yet come
anto the campaign.
Interesting changes In the situation
are shown by the Herald's figures.
Since the tables were published last
Sunday more than $4,000 new votes
have been Incorporated in the comDu-
tations. making q grand total Of 205.3S2
ballots thus far cast. They represent
every class Of voter in every part OF
the country. OF this number President
Taft has received 45.50l. Mr.. Roosevelt

Governor Wilson ranged from "A

third and AZ and the same fraction On

How the states stand.
In polls made i'm thirty-three States
Governor Wilson led in twenty six. Or.
Roosevelt in Ave and the President N
two-Utah and Wyoming. The four In
which Mr.. Roosevelt took the lead are
Illinois, Michigan. Idaho and Wasn-
in1ton. On the surface II would ap-
pear that the margin between me
President and nrst place II too VIDE
to be overcome. It would appear also
that he has considerable distance to 30
to be assured Of second place.
In the first table Of pereentages ne
was nine points behind Mr.. Roosevelt.
On the second ballot he was still
nine points behind. On the third bal
lot he was eight points behind. and on
the last ballot thus far taken he was
six points behind.
Inquiries during the week do not
disclose any great spread OF the feel-
ing among Republicans that the
President cannot be elected. and that,
therefore, to Assure the defeat OF Mr..
Roosevelt. they would vote for Cover

was no sign Of life on board. Whether
OF not the crew OF the Inflated vessel
escaped was not known. II Is be-
lieved. however. they may have
escaped Ia n dory or perhaps have
been picked up BY tug.
The barge was sighted by Captain
Appieby as the Puritan was rounding
