That the Minneapolis & st. Louis
railroad has been sold to the Canadian
Northern was current in Minneapolis
Thursday, but could not be verified
there owing to the absence from the
city of the officials of the road. An
other rumor places the Chicago &
Northwestern as the purchaser. A
marked rise in stock values was be-
iieved responsible for the belief that a
sale of the property had been made.
The Minneapolis Journal of Thurs
day evening contains the following
concerning the rumored purchase Of
the road:

A certain statement attributed to an
American Catholic official has been
cited by the liquor papers as repre-
senting the attitude of the Catholic
Church on the subject OF "Prohibi-
ton"
How far II Is to be taken as such
may be judged by the following let
ter which the Archbishop Of Montreal
wrote to the parishioners Of st. Rose
previous to a vote upon prohibition:
ITO the Faithful OF the Parish of ST.
Rose:
VERY Dear Brother,-There Is In
progress among you a campaign In
which you cannot be disinterested.

no hope of reaching such a result. the

Facts VIII he Brought Out In
Courts Of Justice.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The Depart
ment of Justice today sent squads OF
secret service men hurrying into
Minnesota and New Mexico. In the
States where the vote Is so close the
ballot count will be closely supervised.
1t is understood. too, that government Mt
agents will be very active in Cali
fornia. But the department preserved
great secrecy concerning all its in
designations.
Great attention will be paid Mime
sofa. The Mesaba sRange will be a
subject of closest supervision. During
the prolonged ore miners strike on
the range, the charge was frequently
made that st. Louis County. in which
the ore country is situated, was under
control of the steel trust. Democrats
profess to fear that the miners, who
would ordinarily vote against Re-
publican interests and for Wilson.
may have been Influenced to vote the
other way.
The special agents sent to New
Mexico left Denver under rush order
direct from Washington. There were
about twenty in the squad. Other
secret service men detailed from the
FL Paso division will cooperate with
the Denver operatives.
To Probe Frauds.
Word was received during the day
that the Chicago grand jury would
convene Monday to take up election
frauds in Illinois. Frank c. Bailey.
the special Federal attorney in charge
of the fraud investigation in the
Middle West was in Chicago today.
Department of Justice officials re-
fused to confirm the report that 1t
was by orders from Washington that
the Los Angeles ballots were locked
up in a vault all night and guarded
by United States marshals. The Of
ficias would not discuss the Calf
sorna situation at all, except to ex-
press confidence that President will
son would carry the State without
difficulty.
The department was said today to
have something up its sleeve in
Indiana" This vague reference is
taken to mean the alleged fraudulent
registration of imported negroes.
II the electoral vote il very close,

Iartment will make an issue of any

tigstion. 1t was said today.
The attitude OF some officials In tho
department was that the Republicans
would not make any election contests
These officials confidently anticipated
that Mr.. Wilson would be re- ele ted.
aud thus there would be no need for
any contests by the Democrats.

The Republicans are counting on the
national guard vote to play an impor-
tant part in the contests. The Hughes
campaign managers claim to have
made a poll of the troops on the bor-
der, and assert they are overwhelm-
lngly for Hughes.

MCCORMICK SAYS ALL
OVER BUT. SHOUTING

New York, Nov. s-"we have the
thing sewed up, President Wilson Is
reelected beyond the shadow of a
doubt"
Vance Mccormick. chairman of the
Democratic National Committee. made
this declaration tonight when he
heard President Wilson was leading In
California by 2.500 votes. with about
$50 precincts. mostly Democratic, to
be heard from. At the same time a
vote in 2sss precincts out of 3.402 gave
Hughes 1896; Wilson, 175,9o1
The Hughes gain. which had wiped
out Mr.. Wilson's earlier lead in the
State, seemed to be disappearing. and
Mr. Mccormick was confident that q
full count would show the President
in the lead New Mexico at the same
hour also showed the President in the
lead.
If all the other States which were
doubtful late this afternoon are thrown
into the Democratic column. the 2ss
votes which Mr. Mccormick made
Wednesday night and has stuck to
since will be proved correct. Demo
cratic national headquarters was top
sy-turvy today, with some Of the
| rooms being vacated for new tenants.
Wilson shouters poured in and out OF
the quarters all day. cheering each
fresh bulletin and each new edition
of the evening newspapers as the Will
son tide grew.
Many of the stan were weary and
red-eyed with loss Of sleep. but the
excitement kept them within reach OF
the telegraph bulletins.

tho Presidents chances after they were
assured that he had California safe.

LITTLE BITTERNESS
IS NOW APPARENT

New York. Nov. 9.-While recounts
probably will be demanded by either
party in several States where the
presidential vote Is close, feeling over
questions of error or fraud in the
count did not appear to be so bitter
today.
Vance Mccormick. national Demo-
cratic chairman. seemed TO think that
Mr.. Wilson's election would be so
far beyond question that recounts
would be requested only as a matter
of precaution. Orders were given to
State and county chairmen, in close
States, to watch the ballot boxes and
demand recounts If 1t seemed advis-
able.
The Democrats were first to talk
of recounts. when they seemed afraid
that error would affect their vote.
Today they did not seem so much
worried about 1t and some Repub-
licans were talking more about re-
might yet be secured for Mr.. Hughes
in that manner.
Prospect of such dangerous stu
alton as occurred in the Hayes-Tilden
campaign in 1876, which was suggest
ed In statements given out from the
two headquarters yesterday. faded
considerably today.
Mr.. Mccormick and Mr.. Wilcox
continued their instructions II State
leaders to retain counsel in the emer-
gency. but the Democratic chairman
did not seem so concerned about tho
matter.
Mr.. Mccormick had already re-
tanned Delancey Nicon and John B.
Stanchfleld as counsel and If the stu
alton becomes serious Alton B. Park
er, former chief Judge of the Court
Of Appeals, and Democratic candidate
for President in 1904, and Morgan
J. Obrien. former Supreme Court JUS
tice. were in consultation with him
for the same purpose.
Since the Hayes-Tilden dispute. in
which an electoral commission. Of
doubtful constitutionality. was Gre

After receiving assurances from his
aides in the executive offices this
morning, President Wilson spent his
time motoring and at golf. Mrs. VIII
son enjoyed the sports with him.
The President will remain in VIII
Jamestown Friday night. He plans to
return to the Mayfower at Rhineelin
and will set sail on the presidential
