New York Parade an Indication
Of How Votes Will Be
Cast Tuesday.
WILSON'S w1NDUP GLOOMY

New York, Nov. 6.--(Special Tele-
gram. )-Voters OF Manhattan Island,
marching in thousands up Fifth ave-
nue. for more than six hours last night
made an incontestable demonstration
that this state is for Hughes, and gave
their significant and unmistakable
answer to the rainbow claims Of the
+ democrats about carrying New York
and the election for Wilson.
Not since the great sound money
parade in the Mckinley campaign,
twenty years ago, has there been such
political demonstration in New
York or. for that matter, in the
United States. Sixty-five thousand
Manhattan voters swung along in time
to the music of blaring bands. They
had to step right in order to get
through with the parade by Sunday
morning, and even at that. although
they marched at pace that suggested
race, it was half an hour past mid
night when the last organization had
reached the point Of dismissal, and the
great Hughes parade was over.
Democrats Chasing Dreams.
1t was striking contrast to the
Tammany-Wilson parade that also
marched down the same avenue only
two nights before, numbering less
than $4,000, including almost 5000
boys, and requiring less than two
hours to display the democratic en-
thusiasm for Wilson.
There were more than $1,000
Hughes voters in the republican pa
rade last night, and everyone OF them
may be counted on to go to the polls
on Tuesday and cast his ballot. The
Wilson parade was typical of the clos
ing days of the Wilson campaign, all
sound and fury. As their fight has
waned, the democratic claims Of VIC
tory have grown to incredible and ab-
surd prope. tons, until this morning
they come out with an alleged "esti-
mate" that shows conclusiyely they
are still thinking and talking in terms
Of 1912, and have been unable to
recognize the fact that this is 1916,
and that the division which made VIII
son president four years ago is healed

President Wilson's last stroke in
his own behalf was tinged with the
hue OF failure. For several days the
New York newspapers had carried ad-
vertisemcnts that special trains were

Lawn to hear MI. Wilson's last
speech of the campaign. At, first the
number OF these specials was put As
high as eight and it was announced
that $4,000 Or more Wilson enthusi-
asts would make the journey to get
this final word OF encouragement
from their candidate. But Is the day

GUARD TRAGEDY UNcoNFIRMEr
Published Reports Of Private Brady's
Death Apparently Unfounded.

Des Moines, Dec. Decentralization
was lacking here today of the pub
lished reports that Private William
BRADY, of Muscatine, Battery c.. First
artillery Iowa National Guard. had
been killed while en- route from
Brownsville, Tex, to Davenport Iowa,
on troop train.
( Investigation at Muscatine, where
the item is said to have originated, de-
veloped no basis of fact for the story.
The Associated Press correspondent
at Brownsville, Tex, said Brady left
there early today on troop train and
that no report of an accident had been
received there. The office of the
adjutant general here had not been ad-
vised Of the accident, and General
Logan advised his department from
Davenport that he had no information
rega riding the reported death.
Major Whitley, commander Of the
First artillery, is in Wausau, Wis, on
a.furlough, and could not be reached.
Statements by persons who investi-
gated the reported death at Muscatine
said that in their opinion the story was
started by idle gossip.
According to published accounts,
Brady was decapitated by "a bridge
girder when he. thrust his head thru a
car window.

the federal commission
The first regulation provides that a
consignee may have the usual two
days to unload car and that there
after demurrage shall be charged at
the rate OF 81 for the first day. 81 for
the second, SO for the third and IS for
the fourth and each succeeding day.
Heretofore the charge has been uni
formly 81 day and many consignees.
notably automobile firms and coal
dealers, are declared to have been glad
to permit shipments to stand for long
periods because the penalty was so
small that it compared favorably with
warehouse charges.
Shortage Cause Of Coal Rise.
The rise in the price Of coal Is at
trlbuted almost wholly to the car
shortage aided by activity Of specu-
lators. While the east was paying
panic prices for coal the mines of the
middle west and to less degree Of the
anthracite section were working with
reduced forces or on part time, in
many instances because there was not
supply of cars to handle the output
An order for the return of coal cars to
