SUFFRAGETTE HEARING.

Buoyed up by assurances from all
sides that the 18th Legislature will
pass q bill granting equal suffrage, the
patient, tireless workers for the cause
again descended upon the capitol,
Wednesday afternoon, to plead for
equal rights.
The hearing was held before the
committee on judiciary in the hall Of
representatives. Nearly 1000 persons
made up the audience, the chairs be-
ing given up to the women--a visional
forecast, perhaps. of not far dis
tart session.

The suffragists and their friends

of partisan opponents in the sidelines,
the suffragists, by their dignity. in
telligence and faith in the justice of
their cause, held the respect of all.

erwise, were in attendance
George H. Allan.
George H Allan of Portland upheld
the women's side and made the OPP
ening address, suggesting to the chair
that any opposition to the act be in
dicated in order to facilitate time, but
there was no opposition shown.
Mr. Allan said in opening that he
did not ask the committee to pass
upon the act but simply allow it to be
submitted to the people as consti-
titional amendment in special cleo
ton. Other great questions such as
the prohibitory law, good roads. and
debt limits of cities had been submit
ted to the people and the cause of
woman's suffrage should be treated as
equally important. MIR. Allan briefly
outlined what had been accomplished
in other states for the cause and that
in the name of social progress nine
states with ten millions of people were
already in favor of the cause.
In Maine he said that the w. C. 7.
T.. Grange and the labor organiza-
lions were in favor of the act to con-
fer upon women the same right Of
suffrage as upon men and instanced
the act of giving negroes the right
to vote. Woman has to pay taxes and
should be allowed to say something
about how the money should be ex-
pended By their education, conduct,
character and interest in the human
welfare. as mothers and makers and
moulders of children they should take
part in the government.

ADDING ID FLEET
 AT VERA CRUZ United States Answers Huerta's Demand by Sand ing More Battleships THE CLIMAX COMING This Government Makes Ready For Any Expected Emergency on
 the Border.
THE CLIMAX COMING

Washington, Nov. 1.-The startling conviction today in all the depart ments is that the United States fleet at Vera Cruz is being reinforced to an- ticpate some overt act ion of Huerta which will demand physical action by the United States. !,
 Evidence of this apprehension was seen today in the announcement by Secretary of the Navy Daniels for tho first time tha the ships at Vera Cruz and the ships on the way to reinforce them, would not be removed from Mexican waters by any power except that of the President of the United States.
 Up to today the official announce ment has always been that the four battleships now on the way to Mexi- can ports, where they are due to ar rive tomorrow night, were simply go. ing to relieve the ships which have done duty for six months or more in Mexican waters.
 There is officially before this gov ernment the insinuation by Huerta that American ships should leave his ports before the twenty-fifth of Oc- tober. The announcement of Secre- tary Daniels today is on it's face a complet answer to the apparent threat of Huerta.
 Officials who talked othe Inter- national News Service today. say there could be only one purpose in keeping the three ships at Vera Cruz SO long and now reinforcing them and that was to be ready for any expected emergency.
 Secretary Bryan today. gave a sweeping and comprehensive denial to the report that an alleged ultimatum to Huerta that he and Blanquet must get out, has been presented. In order to clinch his denial he sent copy of his official statement to the powers represented in Mexico.
 Besides this there is absolutely mo- thing new in the statement that the President is insisting on the elimina- ton of Huerta and Blanquet.

New York, Nov. 4.-John Purroy Mitchell has been elected mayor by a plurality of at least 100000. His elec- tion was conceded by Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, at 8:10 p. m. Murphy, however, said he hoped to elect the county ticket. Fu- sion leaders, on the other hand, ex- pressed confidence that the county nominees would be swept into office ythe Mitchell wave.
 Indications are that Meta, Tammany candidate for comptfoller, had swamp ed Prendergast, thes Illusion candidate. who was opposed by the Independence League. It was also predicted that Goulden. the Democratic candidate for president of the Boar dof Aldermen, would have good lead over McAneny. the Fusion candidate, who was also opposed by the Independence League.
 It Is believed that the Assembly will be strongly Republican. Early returns indicated that the voters throughout the state had arisen in protest against Tammany methods as shown by the disclosures incident to the impeachment of Governor Sulzer. Incidentally early returns indicate that Sulzer has been elected to the Assembly from the Sixth District ot Aanhattan. of which he was not a resident and where he could not vote.
 In this city the Tammany guerrilla vote cropped up early in the day but was pounded down by the activity of he influences working for fair cleo ion. The District Attorneys office which had prepared for rush of ar. ests. found itself with relatively It, le to do because of perfect work of be watchers for the Independence

WILSON MAN WINS IN NEW JURSEY Governor Fielder Re Elect ed Governor Over Stokes
 and Colby.
REPUBLICANS SPLIT
Democrat Mayor of Cleveland and Republican Mayor of Cincinnati-
 Women Vote Anti.Liqour.

Trenton, N. J., Nov. 4.-Returns received from all sections of the state up to Il p. m. indicate the election of James r. Fielder, Democratic can didate for governor, by 10000 plural lty. MT. Fielder is the present gov ernor, having succeeded to the office upon the resignation of Woodrow Wilson. Edward c. Stokes, the Re- publican candidate, ran strong in South Jersey. The vote cast io' the Progressive candidate, Everitt proved surprise to Republicans and Democrats alike.
 Because of the late closing of the poll it is not believed that the full state vote will be known before to- morrow. Republicans concede the election of Democratic assembly. The Democrats claim the election of ofur senators, which will give them majority in the upperh ouse.
 The election of Fielder, who was endorsed and supported by President Wilson, is not regarded as a victory for the presidential politices, but is due rather to the split in the epub- lican ranks, Colby, the Progressive candidate, taking hundreds of votes from. Stokes, the Republican cardi- date. who was declared to be lacked by the railroads which have hereto fore yeilded a strong influence in New Jersey politics.
 Fielder was cut heavily in Essex county, the stronghold of former United States Senator James Smith Jr., and James R. Nugent, who for years have fought against Woodrow Wilson.

Blair Lee, College Mate and Candidate of President Wilson, Elected U. s., Senator In Maryland.
WALSH WINS IN /,
 MASSACHUSETTS,
Democratic Ticket Also Victorious In Kentucky - Baltimore Republican Commission To GO When DemOs
  crats Go In. [

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 4-There has been a Democratic landslide in Mary land. Blair Lee, the candidate and college mate of President Wilson, has been elected United States senator over Thomas Parran, Republican, and George l.. Wellington, Progress i've, and stands committed to carry out the Wilson policies.
 AS the vote went for Lee, so it did for all the other state and city Democratic candidates. McNulty, at one time an Insurge2t, was elected sheriff despite the belief that hd would be slaughtered by the rank and file. Coady. the Democratic can- didate for Congress. was elected by an overwhelming majority, while the Democratic legislative ticket is safe in the First, Seconf and Third Dis- trict and 1t is believed has a chance in the Fourth District heretofore a Republican stronghold.
 All the constitutional amendments were endorsed. Today's election insures the Democrats sufficient votes to overrule any vote of Governor Goldsborough, the Republican execu- tive. Some drastic legislation Is slated that has for its design the making of Maryland one party state for years to come. Some days ago the Public Service Commission decid- ed that 1t had the right overrule an ordinance of the mayor and the city council and 1t Is now believed that the Democratic party now in power will egislate the Commission out of power. thereby cutting off the heads of the Republican majority of the Commission. It is then planned to create another Commission with Democratic majority. but to restrict it's powers so far as the power of the mayor and city council of Baltimore Is concerned.

 During the campaign MT. Mitchell and Mayor Gaynor never met. When the Mayor was holding his reception at the City Hall, MT. Mitchell, the president of the Board of Alderman came along the line.
 Well, well!" exclaimed the Mayor. "So you are Mitchell. Dear me. You are just young man. But always like to see young man get on, and you seem to be getting along all right"
 Soon after. MT. Mitchell startled the Aldermen by announcing that they were useless and anarchatic insti- tuition and ought to be abolished. He set up new offices at No. 51 Chambers street, and began to investigate the Aldermen in cooperation with the Board of Estimate, of which he was member.
 When Mayor Gaynor was struck
 
 down by the bullet of would-be-as. sassin on shipboard at Hoboken, on August, 1910, MT. Mitchell became act ing Mayor. Relations between Mayor Gaynor and himself had not been cor. dial and important matters were pend- ing. MT. Mitchell, however. moved cau- tiously and consulted the Mayors sec- retary in almost everything he did. and it was not until Mayor Gaynor be- gan to get we'll, at Deepwellis, Long Island, that he took up the police sit uation. When Mayor Gaynor returned to office Police Commissioner Baker was removed and Commissioner Crop. sey was selected by the Mayor to suc- ceed him.
 Mr. Michel was married in April 1909, to Miss Alice D. Child, daughter of Franklin D. Child. of No. West Ninety-second street.
 President Wilson appointed MT. Mitchell collector of the Port to suc- ceed William Loeb last spring, and he took office on June 1st, with the un. derstanding however, that his appoint ment othe Federal office should not interfere with his running for Mayor Through his appointment as Collector of the Port and by other tokens strength was given to the general be- lief that MT. Mitchell stood firmly with the Democratic administration at Washington in President Wilson's fight against Tammany Hall and the leadership of Charles F. Murphy, belief which gave great prestige to him in the contest for the Fusion nom- inaiton as Mayor.
