PROGRESSIVES OF
MASSACHUSETTS

Boston, Nov. 5.-The outcome in
Massachusetts on Tuesday will depend
largely on the trend of the Progressive
vote of 1912. Up to that year, while &C.

ernor the state had been solidly Re-
publican in political contests. Presi-
dent Wilson received 173,40S votes
against combined vote of 29S,176 for
Taft and Roosevelt.
This year the Progressive party has
disappeared from the official ballot Be-
lieving that a majority of its former
membership has returned to the Re-
publican ranks, Republican State
Chairman Edward A. ,Thurston claims
everything with the exception of the
present Democratic state minority in
Congress, with pluralities for Hughes
and state candidates of from $4,000 to
100000.
Democratic Chairman Michael A.
O'Leary comedies nothing beyond a
majority for Congress and the state
Legislature He looks for Democratic
pluralities on the national, senatorial
and state tickets, varying from 5000 to

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARkET wAs IRREeuLAR.
Recognized War specialties Were
 Lower By a Point or Two.

New York, May 23.-The same con ditions and tendencies which char aeteried the recent advance in quot ed values were prevalent again to- day. Speculation ran largely to the railway list, with new high record for Reading and best prices of a year or more for other issues of the same class.
 There was a wider movement in specialties which reflecred all of their recent irregularities. Recog- nied war contract shares were lower by point or two most of the active session and shipping stocks were sim ilarly affected, likewise the so-called distilling issues.
 Mexicans were restored to specu- lative favor largely as a result of the absence of further disturbing ad- vices from that country, Mexican Pe- troleum gaining over two points, with almost three for American Smelling. Coppers as a group continue back ward. however, and the zinc issues shaded after some early strength.
 Automobile shares were the spec ulative features, General Mo- tors advancing 55 points to SIS with 5 3-4 for Stakeholder, while Willys- Overland on it's 1-2 point gain to 276 1-2 and Chandler Motors 3 1-2 rise to 100 .1-4 constituted new rec ords.
 Readings gyrations were the cause of much unsettlement among stand ard stocks. following it's early rise to the new maximum of no 3-4. a point over it's previous record. Before noon Reading fell back almost three points, recovered about two points and after much irregularity closed at 1O8 B., almost a point off the day Its contributions to the high total was again out of all proportion, aggregat- ing about 130.O00 shares, or fifteen per cent.
 Other dividends paying rails, includ- ed Union Pacific, St. Paul, Atchison, Baltimore and Ohio, Atlantic Coast Line and Illinois Central were high CT by one to two points at their best, but succumbed to steady profit talk ing and short selling in the afternoon.
 U. S. Steel seemed to be singled out by the short interest, at no time keeping pace with other favorites. Bethlehem Steel also was heavy on limited dealings. Total sales amount ed to S40,OO0 shares.
 Incidents bearing upon the market included Southern Paciflc's April statement, showing a net gain of $1,- 40S, 900 and an additional gold i'm port from Canada. The bond mar ket was firm but without feature. To- tai sales, par value, aggregated $4,- 650.0o0.

CORNELL \ FAvORITE

Cornell, with It's star track team. winner of the intercollegiate meet for the past two seasons, is again picked as the winner of the affair which will be staged at the Harvard stadium EId- day and Saturday. Cornell will prolb- ably not have the services of its star, Alma Richards. but Coach A2oakley's team Is of sufficient calfber to win the meet, according to the present outlook without the services of it's lone first place winner last year. The meet it. self, 1t seems, Is certain to produce new records with the many stars which are entered.
 The track events will lind innuner- able athletes capable of record per- formances competing for the different institutions which will be represented in the meet. Unfortunately Andrew ran the 100 and 220 yard daSneS in near worlds record time. will not be entered, as Holy Cross is not member of the association. There will be in these two events such stars as Tesch- ner of Harvard, considered by some the favorite in both dashes; Murray of Leland Stanford, Smith of Michigan, Treadway of Yale, Kaufman of Cor nell, OsBrien of Michigan and Rice of Maine. Records may go in these events with such capable runners in competition against each other.
 In the short distances 1t is almost certain that at least one record is ex- pected to go. Ted Meredith of Penn sylvanfa. who recently lowered the worlds mark for the half mile, while considered the favorite in this event, would have plenty of competition to spur him on to even better time than he recently established. Bill Bingham of Harvard, Johnny Overton of Yale, Windnagle of Cornell, Carroll and Mur- phy of Michigan and many others who already this season nave made fine time in this distance are counted on to make the Penn star hustle to win this event. The field in the 440 yard run is equally as fast. Meredith, Overton, W3Ilcox of Harvard, Bingham, Riley of Dartmouth, Grimm of Cornell, Richard son and Moore of Princeton are some of the entrants in this event
 The mile and two mile runs are also expected to be great races. The fields in each include some of the best track men in these events that have ap-

FINDING OCCUPATIONS FOR
 DISABLED CANADIAN SOLDIERS
An Industrial Survey of Winnipeg Be-
 ing Made for That Purpose.

Winnipeg. Canada, May 23.-with a view to finding suitable occupations for disabled Canadian soldiers who have returned from Europe, arrange ments have been made for an indus trial survey of Winnipeg and many other large cities of Canada.
 At a joint meeting here of the Re turned Soldiers Association, the Mil itary Hospitals Commission and the Industrial Bureau for Trade Expan- sion, it was decided to have male teachers from the industrial and tech nical schools make the survey. Places are to be found not only for men who are disabled by the loss of limbs, but for those who have suffered shattered nerves and are unfit for shop work Many of the maimed soldiers are handicapped by the lack of education The officials are trying to overcome this by establishing schools at the various conva1escent homes.
