Split in Electoral
 Vote of California
 is,Very Improbable

San Francisco, Nov. 11.-Analysls py the Democratic. leaders today of the popular presidential vote in San Fran cisco failed to give much encourage ment to the claim of the Republican state central committee that a split electoral vote would result from scratching the Democratic electors. In this city the low Democratic eiector, Mrs. Carrie l.. Tyler, received U,S3o, only All behind Francis J. Heney, hgh with 7S,231. If the same ratio should be maintained throughout the state, It was said, Mrs. Tyler would be approx- imately 2,466 votes behind the head or her ticket The present Democratic plurality, however, is 3,27S, leaving the Republicans approximately 800 short of even one elector.
 Louise Clark, low Republican cleo tor, ran PAP behind Britton, high, With 6, ,130 votes in San Francisco. Eighteen precincts still were missing early to- day from the state total of 5,S70 with the possibility that unofficial state count would not be complete before the official canvass which begins Mon day.

George Beers, jitney driver and former resident of East Bridgeport, is under arrest in Albany awaiting ex tradition papers which will bring him to this city for trial, charged with en- tering Feels garage in William street, stealing a touring car, the property of the garage owner, which he wrecked the same evening at Barnum avenue and Pembroke street while joy riding with several girls
 Since last August when the incident occurred, the police have suspected Beers Detectives James Bray finally located him in Albany and went yes- terday to that city, causing Beers ar rest. The jitney driver admitted he stole the car and that he wrecked the machine, which was valued at about $3,OOO.
 He told the detective that Miss Betty Templeton, 16 years, of 963 Con- necticut avenue, was one of the girls whom he and chum took joy riding. When Bray reached this city last night, he arrested Miss Templeton on charges of incorrigibility.
 The girl was closely questioned re- garding the stolen car, but she stoutly denied all knowledge of the accident and maintained she was not in the machine when the occupants fled the scene of the wreck. The authorities, who believed her story, assert Beers is lying Judge Frank Wilder released her on probation. b

UNDERSEA LINER READY FOR DASH FROM PORT HERE Cargo Aboard, Deutschland is Provisioned For Her
 Trip to Bremen. NO PATROLS SEEN
 AT SMILE LIMIT Expected That Submarine Will Leave New London Berth Tonight.

New London. Nov. 1.-The German undersea merchantmen Deutschland, ready to proceed to sea for it's return voyage to Germany, was still tied up at the state pier, under shelter of the steamer Willehad this forenoon. There were no signs of any immediate de- parture.
 No information was obtainable from a reliable source as to the probable time of sailing. Rumors spread that the Deutschland would leave in the early afternoon, and many persons went to the pier. There was nothing to see. Those who tried to get word with Captain Koenig, of the submersi- ble; Captain Hinsch, of the Willehad, and Captain I1ilken, of the Eastern Forwarding Co.,, had. no success.
 The impression they received was that the craft would sail when the right moment came, and that proba- bly, it would be down the harbor be- fore those on shore were aware of the fact of departure. >t
 The Deutschland is ready to leave. It was provisioned yesterday and the crew are aboard. Captain Koenig has the choice of three courses to reach the Atlantic ocean, one would be through the Race at Long Island Sound entrance, and either of two which would put his crAft into waters near Martha's Vineyard.
 No word was brought in today which indicated that any patrol boat of a foreign power was off the coast of Southern New England.

Make up of House
 is Chief Concern
 of President Now

Williamstown, Mass, Nov. H. President Wilson is not concerned to- day over the refusal of the Republi- can managers to concede his re-elec- tion. The chief thing worrying him is the political complexion of the next House of Representatives, because of it's effect on his plans for legislation. He has not yet received final informa- tion on this point.
 After his return to Washington to- morrow, the President will take up official business and in the near future will begin the preparation of his De- cember message to Congress. The President took a short walk this morning. On his return trip tonight the President will be given a reception at Albany, N. Y.

GREATEST LOAN
 IN HISTORY OF CITY EFFECTED
Bridgeport Savings Bank Takes Over Securities in
 The Stratfield.

The tide of prosperity which has set steadily towards Bridgeport during the last two years with. no indication of ebb brought today the most visible signs of a golden financial era yet thrown upon shores.
 Announcement made in banking circles disclosed that the Bridgeport Savings bank has taken up the securi- ties formerly held by the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York city on The Stratf1eld property, in Main street between Golden Hill and Chapel streets. amounting to half a million dollars, and had increased it by $100,000.
 In speaking of the big loan today, which is the biggest ever made by a. savings bank in the city of Bridgeport. and probably the biggest ever made by a similar institution in the state of Connecticut, Samuel M. I7awley, sec- retary and treasurer, said: we be- lieve in Bridgeport real estate. Our deposits come from the people of the City of Bridgeport and our money is going out to help develop real estate in Bridgeport. I think we have now shown that we are able to finance any venture in Bridgeport"
 The last remark of MT. Hawleys statement is believed to refer to the past. History discloses that when Samuel H. Wheeler tirst conceived the idea of improving Main street between Chapel and Golden Hill streets and broached his hotel idea to local f1nan- ciers it was impossible to raise $500,- 900 in a lump. In consequence MT. Wheeler was obliged to seek capital for shis venture in New York. The Mutual Life Insurance Go. loaned the money on what is known as the Fox properties with frontage of 400 feet in Main street and an average depth of 250 feet, with nearly an equal frontage in Chapel street to that in Main.
 With deposits rolling into the local savings banks of this city during the last two years, a complete change of situation has resulted. Building of much larger scope than heretofore has been financed by bankers, espec- tally the savings banks which have sought to place their deposits in Bridgeport rather than elsewhere.
 The Bridgeport Savings bank has loaned largely upon one and two fam fly houses, business blocks and other structures, upwards of 200 in number.
 MT. Hawley stated today that the present load, which upon it's face dis closes an expenditure of $600,000 in reality representing $2,000,000 in- crease in property values. This valua- ton is obtained upon the prevailing standard of loaning only $50 upon the appraised value of property.
 It was further asserted by banking officials that the present large loan was accomplished without in the least curtailing the extent of loans made or to be made to regular borrowers or prospective borrowers.
 Loans made during the past fiscal year of the Bridgeport Savings bank, ending Jan. 1, will, it is confidently expected, aggregate between 225 and 250 individual loans upon various properties, with probable aggregate of more than $1,100,000, or about 100

OLD 'CAS HOUSE, SOLD, PURCHASER MAY DESTROY IT
Famous Hotel in Water St. May Be Razed For De-
 Yelopments.

Among the realty transfers of the last fortnight, probably none is filled with more memories of the past, both pleasant and unpleasant, than the an- nounced sale of the Kaiserhof hotel property, located at 715 Waterstreet, and now occupied by Matt WieIer as a hotel.
 The property has been purchased by Edward Won Wettberg, of 140 Middle street, who stated today he development, the nature of which has not been decided upon but added that the old structure undoubtedly would be razed.
 For years the hotel was conducted by George Wagner and throughout New England and in New York city the place had an excellent reputation as Wagners hotel and summer gar den. Later, however, it developed less estimable standing when one after the other several prominent men committed suicide there and the place became known as the home of the Suicide club. From the name "Gast-Haus," which the German proprietor had styled his place, it be- came known as the Gas House." be- cause most of the suicides adopted this means of taking the short cut to eternity.
 The building was erected in 1859 and was originally intended for a store and tenement house. It's first known tenant was John Wentworth of New Milford, who conducted an oyster and eating house on the lower floor and used the upper rooms for his family renting a number to male 1odgers.
