HUGHES FAR BEHIND
COLONEL IN POLL
Continued from page I

ballots and tally sheets were touched
were kept under lock at night.
Only eight or ten ballots without
names and addresses were received,
and they are counted in with the irreg-
ular votes coming in on unofficial
paper. Among these irregular votes
there were several instances in which
lists Of names were sent in the form
Of a petition on a single sheet. Some
were accompanied by letters. In some
cases several votes were written in on
single ballot, but according TO the
rules only the first was counted as reg
ular.
One letter came from Glasgow. Mont,
in which the writer, having read the
advance notices of the contest, asked
to have a ballot marked for him for
Roosevelt, as If he waited for The Sun
day Tribune 20 reach him he was afraid
he could not get il back here in time.
Another note. written on n ballot
margin, from Westbury, n. Y, said:
There were twenty-five men readers OF
your paper unable 10 secure one here,
all for Roosevelt, first and second
choiceP Another marginal note on a
Roosevelt ballot was: my only regret
is that have but one vote TO cast for
him"
A considerable number of ballots
stated that the voter was a Democrat
and voted for Wilson in 1912. and one

West Virginia said this: CAS- | am q

Painter, Rushed with Orders

Times were too prosperous for Al

For a long time Fuller had COM

Fourteen brides plighted troth in q

teen young men departed with the
blessing of Father Nikolas Podhorecki,

The dealers in wedding garments on
the East Side reported the biggest

In addition to the multiple ceremony
there were two other services at st.

PLANS TO QUIT CITY
Request for independence May

"The City Separation League" Of
Staten Island wants 20 be divorced
from New York by the next state Leg
islature.
Edward P. Doyle. one of the big tax
payers on the North Shore, and the
organizer Of the league, said last night
that it was far from advantageous to
Staten Island TO remain part OF
greater New York.
"The cost of running Richmond in
1885," he said, twas in the neighbor-
hood Of S450,000 Last year we paid
indirect taxes amounting TO S2,050,000.
I'VE do not belong TO greater New
York. We are home loving and home
owning community. The greater city is
neither. In a population Of 100000
there are only 10000 property owners.
That is why property owners are robbed
and insulted with impunity. We have
only one-fortieth Of the vote, and that
is why we are not considered"

CANADA RECRUITING
DROPS; DRAFT URGED
Belief Grows That Only Con-
scriptiOn viii Answer.

Winnipeg, Canada. May Recruit
ing in this and many other provinces
Of Canada is 81 low ebb, according 70
authorities here. and the feeling IS
growing that only conscription will
bring forth tie number of men de-
sired by the government.
During March recruiting figures for
this district we're the largest record
ed in a like period since the opening
Of the war, while the figures for April
were the lowest.
Various plans have been resorted to
in an effort to stimulate recruiting,
but with little effect. Certain units
are offering recruiting privates a
days holiday for every recruit they
bring in. Through the recruiting or
ganization of the 203d Battalion every
woman IN New Ontario, Manitoba and
Saskatche van provinces has been
asked to aid in the recruiting cam
palgn.
Failure Of the Province Of Quebec
to recruit more than 5000 men, de-
spite its male population OF one
million, has sharpened the desire Tor
CONSUMPTION in other provinces. Chief
Justice Mathers, president Of the Re
cruiting League, said that the 100000
men required for active service from
Canada represented Is per cent OF the
total male population Of Canada.
Quebec had a male population of
I,Ol1,247 at the last census. Thirteen
per cent equals 1871 1852. Only 5,S37
have enlisted.
In Military District No. 10, in which
Winnipeg is located, the census shows
5s4.079 males, - per cent Of which Is
1890. This district recruited 63,l96
men. and needs only 1874 to con-
tribute its proportionate share.
Ontario Province has recruited
more than $4,000 men.

Wilson Democrats Favor

MURPHY MAY GAIN
A MAYOR BY DEAL
House Polk F. d. Roosevelt
Lineup Due to Wipe Out
Seabury's Chances.

Tammany Hall politicians heard yes
terday that James ". Gerard. tho
american Ambassador at Berlin. will
have the backing of the newly formed
House olk-F. u. Roosevelt combina-
ton of Wilson Democrats for the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor of
New York next fall. Charles F. Muir
ply or any of the other Tammany
satellites have no intention Of inter
fering in the nomination OF a candi-
date for Governor; their sole interest
centres in the election of TTammany
Mayor in 1917.
Any candidate the Federal crowd Sc
lects for the nomination for Governor
will be acceptable, the modus vivendi
calling for a hands-of policy on the
part of the Federal crowd when a can
didate for Mayor is chosen.
Justice Samuel Seabury, OF the Court
Of Appeals. strongly backed by Will
lam r. Hearst and the remnants OF the
Independence League, is already in tho
field for the Democratic nomination
for Governor.
The advocacy OF the nomination OF
Ambassador Gerard somewhat sur
prised Tammany. the general under
standing being that Mr.. Polk himself
had his eve on the nomination. They
were assured. however. that the Coun-
sellor Of the State Department likes
Washington so we'll that he has aspira-
tons in another direction.
One Of the interesting ramifications
OF the new lineup Of Wilson Demo
Gratis is the pushing Of Secretary Nc
Adoo TO the side lines, so far as being
the official dispenser Of New York
patronage is concerned. Mr.. Polk has
assumed that post. He, it is said, In
sisted that practical politics must be
played if the President was to have
the good will of New York.
Secretary McAdoo always has been a
thorn in the side of the Democratic or
ranization. because, Tammany men
say. Murphy once refused to take him
seriously IS q candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor. His
elimination as chief Federal dispenser,
it is needless to say, is pleasing to the
boys" in the organization.
Ambassador Gerard would have the
hearty support of the Braves. Despite
statements to the contrary, Murphy is
not tied up to the nomination Of JUS
tice Seabury.
Murphy is not going TO underwrite
any more candidates for Governor"
was the way one Of his confdants put
il yesterday, with q smile as If to refer
to his last effort-Sulzer.

finley HITS SCHOOL DRILL
Favors Physical but Not State Military
Training Drill.

John NJ. Finley, State Commissioner
of Education, in a signed editorial IN
the current issue Of the Bulletin to
the Schools Of the State Department Of
Education" declares himself heartily in
accord with the bill, now in Governor
Whitman's hands, providing physical
training for all school boys and girls
in the state. He is opposed, however,
TO the military training bill, likewise
in the Governors hands. Regarding
the latter he saws:
"This bill makes provision for mill
tary training, under tho supervision Of
the Military Training Commission, but
outside Of the schools, and for all boys
between the ages Of sixteen and nine
teen, except those who are regularly
ana lawfully at work My contention
is that the obligation should be upon
all boys of an age, whether at work in
the shop or in the schools, if IL is put
on any"

Justices Forces Give Fig
ures Differing from Root
Mems Estimates.
PRESENT SITUATION
PUZZLES VETERANS
Whites Statement Cheers Ex-
Senator's AdherentS - No
Roosevelt Claims Yet.

Justice Hughes will have more than
sixty Of the delegates from this state
back Of his nomination at Chicago. &C
cording to one Of the best known
Hughes men in the state. He said
last night that ex-senator Root would
have only twenty-one delegates and
Colonel Roosevelt not more than half
q dozen. These figures, however, are
at variance with those advanced by
the supporters Of Mr.. Root, who as
sert that he has now forty-four votes
in his column and is gaining every
day. Colonel Roosevelt's friends have
made no claim yet.
AS result Of these figures a big
surprise Is awaiting some Of the sup
posedly shrewd politicians when the
delegates begin ballotinc at Chicago.
The Hughes men are certain they have
no less than sixty, while the Root sup
porters are equally positive that the
votes Of no less than forty,four Of the
delegates are theirs.
According TO the Hughes forces, the
Root adherents are using the ex-Sen-
ator's name as foil TO Colonel Roose-
welt. Delegates have been asked TO
express choice between the ex-Sen-
ator and the Colonel, they say, and
those favoring Mr.. Root are placed
in his column regardless Of the fact
that Justice Hughes may be their first
choice.
Situation Puzzles Veterans.
Regardless of all claims, the nomi-
nee continues 10 be in doubt. Vet
eran politicians frankly admit that the
situation is a puzzler-that IT is al
most any mans race now.
The cold guard" believes Colonel
Roosevelt has practically been peck
eted, and they have centred their forces
on Justice Hughes. One significant
thing about the "old guard" is that
several of the men who make up this
isoteric coterie are beginning TO sus-
pect that the others are playing a deep
political game.
Most of this suspicion is due to the
feeling that Barnes and the other Root
supporters are not "On the level" in
advocating his candidacy. II is be
lieved to be the intention TO gather a
big group of delegates behind the ex
Senator and then, if things are not
right ct convention time, TO swing them
TO the support of some other candidate.
Whites Statement Pleases.
Mr.. Roots friends who signed the
petition advocating his nomination in
sist that his name is going before the
conySSltion. Every one Of the dele
gates is going TO vote for his nomina-
tion, on the first ballot, at least.
Root supporters were particularly
pleased yesterday at a statement from
Andrew d. White, ex-Ambassador 20
Germany, in which he declared that If
Mr. Root had been at the head of our
national affairs for the last three years
cit is my strong conviction that we
should now be in a condition of hon
orable peace with all the world, and
that all the meddling and muddling
which have resulted in our worse than
doubtful relations with Mexico, Ger
many and Great Britain would have
been avoided"
