 Public Opinion.

Newspaper Statement Is Given and Influence
 Hereafter Is for
 Woodrow Wilson.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-The Chicago Herald, independent, which began the campaign with leanings toward Hughes, today came out strongly for the reelection of President Woodrow Wilson.
 The Herald frankly admits that it has been influenced in this action by the sentiment of its readers. For weeks it has been devoting two columns of it's editorial page daily to letters from its readers, These letters have shown an overwhelm- ing preference for Wilson. The Herald says: That a large ma iority of the big family of Herald readers are for Wilson has been made plain, and it has had a great influence in causing this pare: to change from its independent attitude to one of support for the President.

Destroyers of BritisherS and Germany Have a Sharp Fight as a
 Big Preliminary.
BOTH SIDES ARE LOSERS
WarShip Fleets Do Not Get in Fight and the Ger man Fleet Goes
 Back.

LONDON, Oct. 27.-British and German destroyers engaged in a sharp naval engagement in the English channel late last night and a gigantic raid of the Germany Kiel fleet is believed to have been frus- trated at least for the present.
 Early in the evening the Admir- alty was advised of inumerable German destroyers suddenly appear ing in various parts of the Eng fish channel. Wireless commands were sent out to all parts of the channel, the scouting fleets of the North Sea squadron were notified and the coast patrol fleet were commanded to be on guard and prepared for immediate attack.
 Hardly had the movement of the German destroyers been discovered before adyices were received that 1t was believed that the German fleet was out on the channel that as many warships, under cover of the dark ness and with lights extinguished, had been seen quickly moving on the waters.
 The Admiralty, shortly after mid night received advices that British and German destroyers were engag- ed in a battle. Then came word that the German warships were mixing in the engagement. At two o'clock this morning the Admiralty an- nounced that the German fleet had retired without appearing to have taken any important part in the engagement, that two German de- stroyers had been sunk in the en- gagement and also added: It is feared that one British destroyer with the entire crew was lost. An other report is that a British coast patrol cruiser has been disabled"

PEOPLE SEEM TO
 BELIEVE EMPIRES
 "FAKE" TELEGRAMS
Plenty of Money Is in Juneau to Wager on Wilson that He Will Be the Next President of the
 United States; No Hughes Money.

The Empire is accused of "fak- ing" the telegrams which tell of the rowing swing to Wilson, and of the change within the last week from odds against Wilson to odds on Wilson, yet the money that is being offered in Juneau to bet on the election is all Wilson money. Evidently those with money do not believe the charges.
 At several places in this city there is even money offered that Wilson will be elected one week from Tuesday, but there is no mon ey offered anywhere on Hughes, so it is claimed.
 Several people who made several trips from one end of Front street to the other seeking Hughes money were unable to find any.
 Apparently people have more con fdence in Empire telegraphlc news than in the Dispatch's articles on Hughes Landslldes."
 Several hundred dollars has been placed with George c. Burford to bet on Wilson at even.
