CU. ?. staff correspondent.l

NEW YORK, Nov. To-day the
men of New York, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts will say by ballot
whether their women shall be given
the vote.
A heavy vote in New York and Mas
sachusetts and a light vote in Penn
sylvania have been forecasted. Whirl-
wind finish campaigns ended last
night. Early this morning suffragists
we're at every polling place to button
hole the men as they arrived, and to
make thea final plea for favorable
decision.
The antis also were represented gen
orally, but their campaign has taken
more the form of billboard, street car
and handbill statements than personal
propaganda work
Should Pennsylvania vote for suf-
frage, the Justice Bell duplicate of
the Liberty Bell which hiss been car
ried about the state Tor months with
its shaekled clapper prominently dis
played. will be rung in Philadelphia.
If suffrage is defeated. it cannot be
voted on again in Pennsylvania until
1920.
Submission OF the suffrage question
to New York voters today comes 81
years after Susan B. Anthony first
took up the fight for votes for
women" The constitutional amend
ments has passed the legislature and
the vote today is a legislative refer
endum to the people. Governor Whit
man will vote yes" and Mrs. Whit
man has been prominent in the pro
suffrage campaign.
In Massachusetts the men are tc

giving women the right to vote. The
suffragists' campaign in this state has
been more conservative than in the
other two, although several big pa
rades have been staged in Boston, sim

those in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia

Lansing Sends Note to American
Diplomat; Wants to Know
Reason for Seizure of
American Steamer
By United Press.

By United Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-Secretary
Lansing today sent note to Ambas-
sador Page at London directing him to
obtain from the British government an
explanation of the seizure of the Amer
ican ship Hooking at Halifax.
The prompt action Of the state de-
partment is accepted as a challenge to
the new British policy of questioning
the validity of transfers of ships to the
American flag. It is officially stated
that a vigorous protest will be made
contesting the British ship seizure
policy.
American Consul Young at Halifax
reported that the British authorities
had given no explanation officially
concerning the seizure
The state department announced
that it had begun an inquiry concern
ing the former ownership of the Hook
ing. The case was aggravated by the
fact that the Hooking was en- route
from New York to Norfolk when il
was seized.

Following this disposition of the Lu
cile road matter, for the time being,
after allowing c. F. Dorton to pay
taxes on the undivided one-half inter
est of northwest one-fourth 1857, the
commissioners adjourned until 1880
o'clock p. m.
At the evening session salaries
amounting to $2.0l6 we're allowed and
the county clerk ordered to draw war
rants in payment for the same.
Miscellaneous accounts and claims
against the county were allowed in the
sum of approximately $1,000. These
claims we're allowed from the road and
bridge, the poor and insane, the con-
tingent, the court and other funds.
A number of arguments between the
commissioners and the special exam
iner, present from the state inspection
department, as to what claims should
be allowed or disallowed,
were INDUCED in. In one claim in
which in addition to the burial charges
Of pauper, a charge of five dollars
had been made for digging the grave,
the inspector alleged this last claim
should not be allowed, whereupon one
Of the commissioners stated that he
it might be as well to state
that in all cases wherein the deceased
dug his own grave no charges
we're made or paid by the county.
Practically this mornings entire ses-
sion was spent in executive session
With the inspector.
Regular routine business may be
cached by tomorrow, but it now |
seems the commissioners win be in
session continuously for the greater
,art Of the present week.

sides are not obtainable at this hour
