SHOWER Of BALLOTS
! N MANY STATES TUESDAY.

come from Washington, It IS admitted !
here that the president and his polit- |!
ical friends are deeply interested In
the probable election Of John PuTroy
Mitchell, az mayor and the possible
accompanying elimination Of Boss
Chas. r. Murphy as the dominating
power OF Tammany Hall, and the New
York City and state democracy. Late
advices that Edward 3. Mccall, Muir
phys candidate, is likely to be de-
feated, have caused considerable sat
sisfaction here There is also great
curiosity to see whether Ex-Governor
Sulzer Of New York is to be elected
to the state assembly.
The election Of one United States
senator in Maryland and one con-
gressn1an to succeed Congressman
KONG are also considered Of import
ance. Secretary Bryan by request OF
the president has campaigned for
Blair Lee, the democratic senatorial
candidate and his election or defeat
will be taken here as barometer OF
! public opinion on what President Will
son has done and what he had tried
to do in national politics.
In Ohio, nve amendments to the
state Legislation are to be voted on
which will make the governor and
lieutenant governor the only elected
officials. The short ballot will be
used for the first time In the state.
In several other states there are
elections Of local Importance. Indi
ana's first class cities will nearly all
elect city tickets. Pittsburgh has a
j hot fight on for mayor between
Joseph G. Armstrong Penrose, repub
lican, and Stephen G. Porter, progress
siye.

fusion and Tammany forces for th

usual conference called just befos

I this afternoon but the statemer
which has followed In years before wa
not forthcoming. Various dfstrit
Headers called at the wigwam o
Fourteenth street, made their report
= and went away. There was little II
!, dication Of confidence and general r
: joicing that has marked these confe
ences before.
Usually figures are available pr
dieting the vote to within fe
thousand OF just what the organic
tion's candidate will receive, but t
: day such an estimate was not fort
coming. Robert Adamson, campais
r manager for John P. Mitchell, toda
