DOWN WITH 437
Liner Arabia With Passengers
Sunk in Mediterranean.
Two Lives LOst-Was 499 Foot
Vessel, 1888 Tonnage.

London, Nov. s.-The Peninsular
& Oriental liner, Arabia, sunk by O.
submarine, was torpedoed without
warning, the British admiralty an
nounced today. Two lives were lost
when the vessel went down.
The Arabia was torpedoed Monday
noon in the Mediterranean, the ad-
miralty statement said. The Arabia
carried 437 passengers, the admiralty
statement said. They included 1863
women and children. The passengers
were picked up by various vessels
which hurried to the scene and so far
as now known only two persons per-
ished.
The Arabia was last reported en-
route to London from Sydney, South
Wales. She sailed from Adelaide, Oc-
tober 5. The Arabia was a twin screw
steamer of 1888 tons gross, was 499
feet long and fifty-four feet beam
Altho the facts of the Arabia sinking
were known in London early yester-
day, the censors would not permit
publication of them, it being presum-
ably the governments purpose to
avoid even an appearance of attempt
to influence or sway the American
presidential election.
Officials hinted that they wanted
to eliminate any possible chance of it
affecting yesterdays balloting in
America. if the attack was made with
this in mind.

LIKE SIX RINGS
The state journal Entertained Enor-
nous Crowds.

There have been many crowds in
front of the State Journal building on
previous election nights, but never be-
last evening. The returns came early
and the results were favorable for
Hughes and Capper at the start.
The State Journal presented the cleo
ton news like a six-ring entertain
ment. ard the crowd was kept busy
looking right and left with their eyes
and listening intently with both ears.
From one upper window Chas.
Crews, the auctioneer, read in a loud
voice that was heard to the utter
most parts of the throng.
J. B. Doncyson, with his machine,
wrote in an almost uncanny manner
the bulletins, his pencil on the ma
chine being repeated in letters and fig
ures on the sheet in front of him on
the State Journal building.
Lew Nathanson, on the opposite side
of the entrance, displayed other bull
letins, written with the typewriter on
films.
On the bulletin window were COM
piled, from tine to time, total big fig
ures of the various candidates. Mean
while, telephones in the State Jour
nal office were busy all the time.
The State Journal issued a COM
plete night extra at O'Clock.
with another night extra, still more
comprehensive. Issued at 9:15 and
ahead of any other paper. The last
night edition indicating Wilson had
carried Kansas was the third night
extra at 10 o'clock.

n. Y. Democrats Go Wild as
Wilson Figures Grow.
McAdOO Passes Out New Dimes
by HandfulS to Crowds.

New York, Nov. s.-Confined joy
had no room at Democratic headquar-
ters this afternoon. AS the trend to-
ward President Wilson grew more
strongly defined during the early aft
ernoon, the crowd in the Fifty second
street building headquarters increased
in both noise and size.
By one o'clock the lid was ripped
off and thrown into the discard.
Just before The hour Chairman Nc
Cormick received from o. x. Cush-
ing, California state chairman a tele-
gram saying the Democrats out there
believed they had carried the state.
Men and women stampeded for the
exits and led by hurriedly hired
band, started toward Fifth Avenue,
where Republican headquarters are
located.
The Democrats remembered the
serenade they got from their friends
the enemy Tuesday night when it
looked all Hughes. Secretary of the
Tre aSury McAdoo was so delighted by
late returns that he suddenly started
passing out haDdfuls of the new
dimes.

Struggling returns this afternoon
fail to cut down the Wilson lead in
Kansas and final results will probably
show a Democrat presidential plural
ity of 10000 to $4,000. Contrasted
with he landslide to President Will
son. the state has given Governor Cap
per majority of 100000 to 125,00C
over w. c. Lansdon, his Democrat op-
ponent. The remainder of the state
ticket below governor is safely Re-
publican by $4,000. to $4,000. Both
branches of the state legislature are
Republican.
More than half of the vote of the
state has been reported to Topeka.
Returns on the presidential contest
came this afternoon from 1,449 of the
=
precincts Wilson has a lead of 1928
votes over Hughes. These precincts
gave Wilson 17S,254 and Hughes 165,-
O21.
Governor Cappers lead has already
passed the 10000 mark with more
than 1000 precincts to hear from.
The governorship vote has been re-
ported from 1,124 precincts. They
give Capper 16S,554, Lansdon 95,625.
Chances for success of the Republi-
can presidential nominee were upset
In returns from former Republican
strongholds. The first evidence of the
swing to Wilson came in early reports
from rural districts with nominally
heavy Republican majorities. Chau-
tauqua county-one of the very few
Taft fortress in Kansas in 1872
was one of the first to show a jump
to the Wilson column. Mcpherson
Cloud, Smith and other big counties
Fell in line.
Legislature Strongly Republican.
Republicans are probably in control
of both branches of the state legisla-
ture, altho returns on legislative mem
bers have been meagre. There will
seemingly be four and probably five
former members of the senate return
ed. They are Senators Huffman,

New York, Nov s.-If President
Wilson carries either Minnesota or
California, he is reelected president
of the United States
Returns up to noon gathered by tho
United Press today apparently estab-
lished 256 votes for Wilson against
23S for Hughes, 81 being classified as
doubtful. Wilson on this basis has
only ten votes to gain before obtaining
the necessary 266 in the electoral COL
lege.
In the doubtful column at noon
were classified the states of CaIifor-
MIA, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New
Mexico and Oregon California's thsr-
teen or Minnesota's twelve would
mean victory to Wilson. II he car
ries the three others, his election Is
assured.
In the hour before noon North Dst-
kota's returns justified placing that
state in the Democratic list and the
state Republican committee conceded
Wyoming to the opposition.
Republicans Still Confident.
New York, Nov. s.-Chairman Will
cox of the Republican national COM
mittee at 1880 O'Clock issued this
statement: California and Mime
sofa are surely for Hughes. This
means Hughes is elected"

Des Moines, Nov. s.-Returns today

candidate for governor by 125,oee.
The congressional delegation will
probably be unchanged.
Owing to bitter state fight over pro-
hibition several Republican strong
holds. including Des Moines, gave plu-
ralities to Wilson, while many DEM
ocratic counties voted as much as two
to one for Harding, charged with be-
ing friendly to the liquor interests.

Washington, Nov. THE king of
Poland will be a Catholic, it is de-
clared on high authority here today.
The choice lies, it was said, between
the Austrian archduke and a Bavarian
prince.
Leopold of Bavaria, it was believed,
will be chosen, as he has two sons,
and his wife, Princess GiseIa, is the
daughter of Emperor Franz Joseph of
Austria Hungary. In her veins, it
was said, flows the blood of the an
cient kings of Poland, with whom the
house of Hapsburg formed a marriage
alliance
