TOMORROW ID SEE ELECTIONS HELD IN EIGHT STATES Statewide Prohibition Cam paign Is Now on in
 Ohio NEW YORK TO VOTE ON SUFFRAGE ISSUE Important Constitutional Issues to Be Decided in New York, Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio and
 Pennsylvania

Washington, October S1.-Eight states, New York, Massachusetts. Maryland. New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Kentucky. Ohio and Mississippi, will hold elections on Tues day, November ?.
 In four of these states Massachu- eetts, Maryland, Kentucky and Mtssis- sippi, governors are to be elected; in six states, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, Kentucky and Mississippi. the state legislatures. in whole or in part, are to be elected, and in five states. New York, Massa- chusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Ohio. important constitutional issues are to be decided.
 With few local exceptions, in. fact, these constitutional questions will be the dominant issues on election day, including as they do such fundamental matters as woman suffrage, municipal home rule, prohibition, state income taxes, referendum plans and some less- CT reforms.
 Woman Suffrage Issue
 The woman suffrage question will come up for decfsion in New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, which states will furnish, in point of popu- 1ation. the greatest test the suffrage issue has ever had in the United States. New Jersey, the first state in the east to vote on equal suffrage. defeated the proposition at special election given over exclusively to the suffrage question on October 19. While it has been held by some political observers that the result of the test in New Jer- sey would be reliably indicative of what might be expected in the three bigger neighboring states, the suffrage leaders have not been discouraged by the big majority with which the issue was defeated in New Jersey, and look forward to the bigger test with con fdence.
 The importance of this test is in dicated by the fact that, In point of population, the states of New York, will vote on suffrage November 2, in clude over 20,O0o,00o people-a fifth of the population of the entire United States-and these 20,000,000 are prac- tically double the population of the states in which equal suffrage has as yet been fully achieved.
 New York State
 In New York state, in additi ln to the suffrage issue, a dominant feature of the election will be the question of adopting a new state constitution as revised by a recent state constitu- tional convention, presided over by IElihu Root. The new constitution, at the request of the suffrage leaders. has mot been made to include the suffrage amendment, hence the constitution and ithe suffrage issue will be voted upon separately. neither question having

 Both the car Jumper and the loading tower are movable and can be shifted to serve different matches, so that when a. ship Is once tied up at the pier it is unnecessary to move 1t until full cargo has been received.
 The capacity of the plant Is from 15Oc to 2000 tons per hour. A car can be un- loaded in about two minutes and the plant will handle cars up to 100 tons ca pacity, though for the present 50-ton cars will be the heaviest sent to it. The plant can handle in one day as much coal as was exported through Charleston in the entire year 1913.
 The terminal is complete in itself but should business beyond its capacity de- velop provision has been made for the addition of similar units.
 In connection with the coal pier, a storage yard of 400 cars capacity has been constructed at Charleston and ad- ditional passing track facilities have been provided on the lines leading from the coal fields.

anything to do directly with the fate of the other.
 The features of the revised consti- tuition are measures designed to give the cities of the state greater latitude in the management of municipaT afS fairs and coincident1y to relieve the legislature of vast amount of local matters. to make the governor a more responsible individual by making the numerous executive arms of the ad- ministration more directly responsible to him; to reform the judiciary so as to eliminate some of the red tape that is declared to handicap the prompt execu- tion of the laws; and among other pro- visions the short ballot and the budget system Two important articles, re- lating to taxation and reapportionment

crats, republicans and prohibitionists have candidates for all the state off ces, with republican and democratic contestants for every place on the ball lot and the progressives are represent ed by candidates for nearly all the state offices and numerous seats in the general assembly. The socialist party has only a candidate for gov ernor.
 In the last presidential election the progressive party in Kentucky boiled approximately 12,000 more votes than the republicans, but the latter claim to have regained many of those who had left the ranks.
 Four years ago, when Governor Mc- Creary democrat was elected, his ma 1ority over his republican opponent was approximately 33000
 Former Congressman A. Q. Stanley of Henderson recently won the demo- cratic gubernatorial nomination in a three-sided contest by the largest plurality ever accorded candidate fp Kentucky. The runner-up declared In favor of statewide prohibition. MT. Stanley favored continuing in effect the county unit law, or local option. This stand later was incorporated In the democratic party platform. The platform also favors submitting to a vote of the people a constitutional amendment that would do away with the prison contract system and per- hitting the working of convicts on the county roads.
 Edwin P. Morrow of Somerset IS the republican nominee. Fred J. Drex- Ter, a Louisville man, heads the pro- gressive ticket.

Having disposed of the suffrage is- sue at the special election October 1a. New Jersey has left little of general interest for the election of November 2. Voting on this day will be confined to the election of six members of the state senate and full membership of 60 in the house. The campaign has been very quiet, no statewide issues being involved. In some legislative districts local option has been an is- sue.

COLLEGE CREWS ARE
 READY FOR RACES
Annual Regatta to be Held on
 Hudson This Afternoon !.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.. June 2s.- Twelve crews, representing five uni versailles, will compete today in the an- nual regatta of the intercollegiate rowing association on the Hudson. There was every indication of excel lent wind and water conditions for the race.
 Special trains, steamboats and hun dreds of automobiles began to deposit their human cargoes at depot and wharf before the town folks had fin ished their breakfasts Although the red of Cornell and the blue of Colum- bia apeared to predominate in the colors shown by the visiting thou sands, Pennsylvania, Syracuse and Stanford were not without followers to carry their hues and emblems.
 Close Races Predicted.
 While close and uncertain races were freely predicted in all three events. there was little wagering of former day type. The absence of professional commissioners and the wagering pools placed a handicap upon the betting proclivities of both alumni and undergraduates. Specula- tion was confined almost exclusively to bets between the packers of individual crews.
 Tn this informal way Cornell and Columbia were even money against each other and slight favorites over Syracuse, Pennsylvania and Stanford The Syracuse Freshmen led the field in the first year crew event, while Pennsylvania supporters showed dis position to lay strongly on their ju- nior shell.
 Everything in Readiness.
 The regatta officials made an early morning trip over the course and re- ported everything in readiness for the races. A ma jority of the oarsmen pad died their shells to the starting points early in the forenoon and then re- turned to quarters to await the call to the sweeps The juniors will race first, starting at 4:15 D. m. The freshmen eights have been ordered to the line at five D. m., and the four mile event for the varsity crews is scheduled for 6:15 D. m.

WILSON SILENT ON
 ARREST OF HUERTA
Says Case Is Being Handled from Washington and He Is Not Thor-
 oughly in Touch With It.

Cornish, N. H., June 2s.-President Wilson was notified today of the de- tention of General victoriano Huerta on the Mexican border, but made no comment on the ground that the case was being handled from Washington and that he was not thoroughly in touch with the situation. It was un- derstood among friends of the presl- dent, however, that Huerta's case would be handled just like that of any other persons charged with conspir- ing to incite from the United States a revolution against a friendly country and that he would be prosecuted if sufficient evidence should be found.
 The president was in communica- ton with the state department today and was kept advised of the situation. He returned to Harlakenden House. his summer home, shortly before noon after long automobile ride and 8 golf game and plunged at once into a mass of accumulated work.
 Many farmers, their wives and their children gathered along the road to see the president as he returned rom his golfing trip, and waved to him as he flashed by in his automobile. MT. Wilson frequently doced his cap and returned their sa,lutations.
 Many letters were received by the president today from persons who eyi- dentIy think he is more >accessib bie here than in Washington. He is att tepding only to business sent from Washington, however, and all letters received here are forWarded to the White House for attention there.
