Mr. Taft Although Mr.. Hitchcock has
declared himself out OF politics, it was
admitted that there were few OF the
presidents advisers so well qualified to
give political information that might be
useful to the Taft supporters. With the
postmaster general eliminated from the
cabinet, this information scarcely would
be available.
II became known tonight that many
Of the presidents close friends hold the

was made known, would not hesitate 10

the doctors said, was instantaneous.
Page was cndcavorins 10 turn on a
pivot at a height OF about 100 feet, when
the swell OF air over the hangers caught
his planes. Page made an effort to re-
gain his balance, but evidently fearing
that the acroplane was beyond control,
gave up. and when about sixty feet in the
air jumped clear of the machine as il was
dropping like a plummet, He cleared the
machine and fell fiat into the plowcd
ground According TO the doctors he was
crushed TO death,
Almost every bone in Pages body was
broken His neck was broken both legs
and arms and his chest crushed.

Page was flying ror the first time as a
licensed aviator. having been awarded his
license Saturday. His flying early today
was one of the spectacular features.
despite a puffy and treachcrous wind
which lent TO the free expression of pre-
dictions that the day would be marred
By accidents. Page was one OF the first
to leave the ground. In the first heat
of the five mile handicap. In which he
and Lincoln Beachey. the Curtiss vet
eran, were the contestants. Page thrilled
the crowd by his sensational maneuvers
All OF the dips and sharp turns made by
Beachey were duplicated by Page, who
was even moro daring than Beachey.
The more experienced aviators shook
their heads when they witnessed Pages
apps rently foolhardy evolutions, and when
he descended Glenn Curtiss. who taught
him to ly. cautioned him against attempt
ing TO perform feats OF flying at his first
meet that required much experience to
learn.
Page merely laughed and assured Cur
tiss that he was 'tall 10 the good Dur
ing the afternoon the young New Yorker
had told those about the hangers that
he would beat Beachey or break my
fool neck"

QUEER CRASH
OFF THE CITY

Coming in the wake Of several other
collisions. which have occurred within
month in the lower Delaware, a
crash OF steamships occurred on Sat
urday night which will be rigidly iu-
vestieated by the Federal steamship
inspectors.
The collision occurred off the Cherry
Island Flats. and the vessels which
ig7red i'm it were the British tank
steamer Suram. inward bound AndrOs-
sal England. and the American
Hawaiian freight steamer Kentuckian,
outward bound, for New York.
Captain w. j. Swartman, COM
m5nder of the Suram. declares that
his vessel, aboard which there was a
crow OF thirty-one men, narrowly
escaped being sunk AS it was. she
su ta'ned q great hole in the starboard
how, aud tho impact was so heavy
that her massive starboard anchor
was visited and crushed into a shape
less mass OF iron. Fortunately she
was travelling light, and the injury
was we'll above the water line. The
kcntuckian sustained only a dent.

PREDICTS WILSON

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-wllliam
Barnes, Jr.. chairman of the New
York Republican State Committee.
gave out the following statement to-
day realtive to the political situation
in New York State.
Thorough and accurate canvasses
which have been made throughout
the state Of New York indicate that
Tafts plurality outside Of the city
Will exceed 10000 and that Mr. WI
son cannot carry the county of New
York by $4,000 upon these returns in
which have absolute confidence
now am ready to predict that the
State will give a sure plurality Of
over 10000 for President TAFT
This outcome will be due to the
well considered and fixed belief that
Mr. Wilson is a man OF uncertain
mind with no practical conception of
public affairs and that if elected with
"a Democratic Senate and a Demo-
cratic House his radical tendencies
and the slant of the Democratic party
imbued with the ideas of Mr. Bryan
will lead TO industrial depression and
material distress TO all.
THE vote for Mr. Roosevelt in
New York will not exceed one sixth
of the total vote but representing as
10 does similar radicalism to that Oi
Mr. Wilson, il is drawing heavily from
that element in the state which other
wise would support the Democratic
ticket. The attack made by the Pro
gressiye forces upon the individual
liberty of every citizen of America,
guaranteed by the bill OF rights. has
made it impossible for them TO gather
real head way. leaving to them only
the hero worshippers. who, fortu-
nately i'm this date arc not of suf-
ficient numbers to survey our Ameri-
can form of governments and inter
fere with the prosperous condition
which will continue under second
administration by President Taft
This prediction is based on these
figures received from LOGS election
districts out of a total OF 3.105 out
side of Greater New York which re-
port through the canvasses completed,
Lne loiloWluE Nolc TOT pIeSlueul- 1 dil,
15S,O54; Wilson. 117.777; Debs. 1921 /;
Chain, 1863: Roosevelt. AZ .5SS Taft's
plurality, 4O.277
This ratio of vote If carried ont
throughout the Empire State indi-
Gates vote outside of Greater New
York for president as follows Taft,
459 $40; Wilson, 342.4S1; Debs, 1881
Chain. 1883; Roosevelt, 124 200
Taft's plurality. 117.059
"The canvass of Greater New
York indicates a plurality for Wilson
Of less than $4,000 in the city These
canvasses are carefully made and
have been a reliable guide to the Re-
Dublicn State Committee for the past
fifteen years"
