ROOM RIDDLED
 WITH BULLETS

ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12.-A thrilling six-hour battle t,etween six ty police and George Nelson aged twenty five, who is wanted for com plicity in the robbery last month of a Los Angeles bank, ended at dawn when Nelsons bullet-riddled body was found stretched on q cot in a room ing house. He had ended his own life by sending a bullet through his head. The house where the bandit successfully held the police at bay since before midnight is in a popu- lous residential district.
 Hugh Macbeth, a lodger who at tempted to escape from the building when the battle between the bandit and the police began was shot twice through the head. probably fatally. by cross fire. Policeman Hammond was shot through the arms and legs by Nelson. All night long the police directed an intermittent fire into Nel- sons room from an upper window of the home of Bishop Hughes of the Methodist Episcopal church. across the street, and from adjacent win dOws and housetops.
 A powerful searchlight was placed in the window of the Hughes home. directly facing the bandits room, and by it's glare the police centered their fire more, or less accurately. Shot guns. repeating rifles. and revolvers were used, and hardly a square inch of Nelson's room escaped the raking fire. Shortly before four the police heard a single shot, then no further response from Nelson.
 At daybreak the room was rushed. Three automatic revolvers and quantity of ammunition were on -abie near the body. The floor was Uttered with glass and splintered wood. and the walls was riddled by shot.
 Nelson had been wounded in the right elbow. Four hundred dollars of the loot of the bank were found in the room.
 The police learned of Nelson's whereabouts through the arrest of William Juber. a companion in the robbery. who the police say made a complete confession.

Halloween Mssoue
Parade of Motnrcvcle
Club to Be Held Tonight

The members of the New Jersey
Motorcycle Club were unable TO hold
their motorcycle masquerade parade
Saturday night after elaborate prepa-
rations had been made. At the last
minute Wilbur w Walden. chairman
of the committee. was informed by
Chief of Police Michael r. Long that
they could not hold the parade due to
an ordinance governing holidays
which fell on Sunday. This ordinance
stipulates that holidays which fall
on Sunday must be celebrated on
Monday"
AS soon as the committee in charge
became aware of the fact that they
would not be permitted to parade
many members were acquainted of
the fact by telephone, but a large
number arrived at the club rooms on
Broad street with gaily decorated mo-
torcycles and sidecars.
The committee announced that the
parade will be held tonight and will
start from in front of the club rooms,
S47 Broad street. promptly at 1880
O'Clock. Six prizes viii be awarded
to the winners in the best decorated
classes.

LISTS
TO Be WATCHED
BY DETECTIVES
Prosecutors Men Report Only
a Few Suspicious Places, but
Will Be on Guard.

Comparatively few Irregularities in
the registry lists for tomorrow's cleo
tlon have been discovered by the
prosecutors detectives, who have
conducted their usual prediction in
vestigation. AS far as the detectives
have gone they have found suspicious
registry lists In only few places.
and these places will be well covered
should the alleged Illegal voters at
tempt to cast a ballot.
Probably not more than $50 war
rants will be issued In advance and
placed in the hands Of the police for
service II an attempt Is made by any
of those under suspicion to vote. In
former years, especially last year, the
prosecutors staR swore out warrants
by the wholesale. and in many cases
the warrants, while not used. served
their purpose by keeping fioaters
away from the polls.
Detective Alfred J. HargaIl. who
has charge of the election cases, has
been quietly going over registry lists
and police returns for the last week
and will finish his work tonight. Then
the warrants win be made out and
distributed to the various precincts to
Re given to the policemen going to
the polling places in the morning.
Prosecutor Frederick f. Guild said
as far as the investigation showed,
the election tomorrow would be one
of the cleanest in years. "Of course,
we examine the registry lists and
check them up every year, so that
this investigation doesn't mean there
is anything out of the ordinary" de-
clared Mr. Guild.
The last opportunity for voter to
get on the registry lists will be given
this afternoon, when Judge Martin
viii sit at o'clock to hear applica-
lions Of voters to have their names
nut on the lists.
Good and SUFFICIENT reasons will
s,ave to be given tho court to get a
name on. Mere forgetfulness or
pressure of business on the registra-
tion days will not do. Few names
are ever added by the courts. and
those few are In exceptional cases.
Transfers will be granted by the
judges today and tomorrow.

To get control OF the next Senate
the Democrats tomorrow must win in
all six contests for the seats In the
upper house. They now have five
hold-over members. II requires eleven
10 control the Senate The Repub-
ilcans. on the other hand. have now
ten seats, and need to win but in one
contest tomorrow to retain the ma
jority of one they had last winter.
To secure the House OF Assembly
It is necessary to capture thirty-one
seats. Hudson county will without
doubt give the Democrats twelve TO
start, and they will also secure SCAT
terinn support from several other
sfronrboItis such as Hunterdon, Sus-
sex and Warren. Counties like Pas
sale. which elects five; Camden
three. and Mercer, three assembly
men are usually found in the Re-
publican column.
Tfnon the outcome in Essex, which
will elect twelve members TO the new
House seems to depend the political
comnIexion of the next Assembly ana
nrobablv the Legislature on joint ball
lot. The strength of the independent
ticket and the accuracy OF the mar
mony reports concerning Ihe ". y.
orsanization and Raymond followers
are the FACTORS which apparently viii
determine the result In this county,
which means so much to both sides.
Other debatable counties and how
they went last year are Union, Re-
publican; Middlesex, Democrat: Ber-
gen. Democrat; Monmouth, split. In
ali except the latter three members
are to be chosen. Monmouth elects
two assemblymen.
Among the units of the State ex-
pected to return Republicans are At
iantic, Burlington, Cape May. Cum
berland, Gloucester, Morris, Ocean
and salem. Each is entitled to one
representative, except Morris and At
lantic, which by reason Of population
get two apiece.
In Somerset will be staged the real
local option battle. Assemblyman
ogden H. Hammond is a candidate
for reelection on the Republican
ticket. He was supported last year
by the local optionists, but failed to
vote for their bill in the House. Now
they're opposing him. Former As
semblyman Samuel S. Swackhamer,
the Democratic sspirant, is an avowed
supporter of the "drys," and Is ex-
pected to run strong.

Victory VIII Give Winners the

Next Year.
CONTROL or LEGISLATURE
is THE IMMEDIATE STAKE
From = star Correspondent.

TRENTON, Nov. 1.--Control of the
next Legislators. which on joint bal
lot will choose a State treasurer. Is
the stake In tomorrow's "off year"
election in New Jersey. Six State sem
ators from as many divisions of the
state and sixty members of the

the voters to comprise the next law
making body Of this commonwealth.
along with the fifteen holdover MEM
bers Of the upper branch. The coun-
ties that are to choose Senators are
Burlington, Cape May, Hunterdon,
Mfddlesex, Passaic and Sussex. The
winners will serve for three years.
Assembiymen will be elected In every
county, and they will hold office for
one year, a new House being elected
annually.
The Legislature will convene on the
second Tuesday of next January. The
State Constitution, that to which
three amendments were proposed at
the recent special election and re-
jected, provides that the iaw-madng
body shall elect State treasurer,
whose term shall be for three years.
Edward e. Grosscup, Democratic
State chairman, the incumbent. be-
gan his term as head of the treasury
department on March 1. 1918. and his
term, therefore, will expire on the first
day of March, 1915. A Democratic
Legislature on joint ballot, that is the
convening of the Senate and Assem-
bly, together, will undoubtedly result
in the reelection of Mr.. Grossup. If
the G. o. p. wins a majority of the
seats to be contested tomorrow, the
incumbent will go out of office and
a Republican be selected in his place.
The custom is to award the office to
the State chairman of the party in
the ascendency at the time for the
election of treasurer. Newton A.
K. Bugbee, of this city, is the head
of the Republican State Committee
at this time.
Both sides want victory tomorrow
In order to secure the prestige which
1t will lend for the big battle of 1915.
A year from tomorrow New Jersey,
for the first time in her history, win
vote for a President of the United
States, United States Senator and
governor, all at one and the same
time. BY reason of the fact that un-
doubtedly President Wilson will
again be the Standard bearer OF his
party for the presidency and that he
is a New Jerseyman, together with
the first experience in voting directly
under the new amendment to the
Constitution Of the United States. for
a senator to succeed James e. Mar
tine, and the election of State ex-
ecutive to fill the chair now occupied
by James F. Fielder. the greatest
battle in the history OF the State viii
be fought out.
The edge" therefore, will go to the
side winning tomorrow. and upon the
conduct of the next Legislature will
depend much of the chances for sue
cess a year hence.

the Democratic party was the party
of true American liberty. He spoke
in part:
The adoption OF the Constitution
of the United States marks the birth
of the Democratic party and 1t has
come down to us through all these
years representing the same prin-
ciples upon which 1t was founded.
Every young man believes in his

believes In civil freedom. believes in
human freedom, in freedom of

form his opinion in freedom of

to give utterance to his thoughts

molestation or hinderance.
"The Democratic party believes In
religious liberty, the right of every
individual to regulate his own religi-
GUS activities; to adopt any or no
form of worship without interference.
when this nation was founded, an
attempt was made to institute the
Church of England as the established
church of this country. But the
founder of our party, Thomas Jeffer-
son, would not countenance this ac-
tion, he fought against it and we to-
day are able to worship God accord

SUFFS WIND UP
THEIR CAMP PAIGN
IN EMPIRE STATE
Women Battle to last Hour for
Cause-Both Sides Sure
of Victory.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The suf-
fragists of New York State will close
their fight for the ballot today with
all their campaign machinery run
ming full speed. Undismayed by the
defeat of the suffrage amendment

State of New Jersey, their leaders de-
clared today that the largest State in
the Union would grant votes to wom-
en-.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, chair
man Of the Empire State campaign
committee said that the suffragists
had made an actual house-to-house
campaign all over the State, and that
this was the basis for their declara-
ton that 100000 women In New York
State wanted to vote. Mrs. Harriet
Stanton Blatch, president OF the
Women's Political Union, said that
they expected to overcome a small
adverse majority in New York city py
success upstate.
The leaders of the women's organi-
zations against suffrage predicted the
defeat of the amendment by large
majority. Mrs Arthur NJ. Dodge,
president of the National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage, and Miss
Alice Hill Chittenden, president of the
New York State Anti-Suffrage Asso-
citation, thought that New York city
would give a majority of 100000
against the proposition, with much
smaller majority outside this city.
Mrs Dodge announced that they
were sure of success in Buffalo.
Rochester, Utica, Albany and Water
town,
Sixty automobiles loaded with
speakers for suffrage left the Bat
terry this morning for final effort,
which win continue until midnight.
Ten vans carrying huge signs let
tered with suffrage appeals traversed
the streets. One Of the features of
the day was a debate before the

between Mrs. Raymond Brown. presi-
dent Of the New York State Woman's
Suffrage Association, and Mrs. Frank
