WILSON'S PARTY
FOES DOOMED
Bosses Who Knitted PreSi-
dent Marked for
Slaughter

Now that victory finally has perched
upon Democratic banners, national
leaders still in New York have discov-
cred that the Democratic party is in
dire need of something more than sue
cess at the polls. Victory. in fact, has
reversed the usual order of things, and
instead Of bringing party unity and
content has resulted in disorganization
and discomfort.
Those who paused from the work of
removing national headquarters from
the Forty-secOnd Street Building long
enough to discuss the situation freely
admitted that President Wilson's cleo
ton would bring about an almost com
plete reorganization of the party. j:
was limited, moreover. that one of the
main objects of this reorganization
would be to prevent the faithless Dem
ocratic bosses credited with knitting the
President on Election Day from enjoy
ing the fruits of victory.
Chief among those tentatively named
for the slaughter are Charles F.
Murphy, the Tammany leader, whose
promises of aid dwindled to the disap-
pearing point; Roger Sullivan, the llli-
nois gas magnate, who is charged with
having maintained a lukewarm atti-
tude throughout the campaign, and
Tom Taggart, the Indiana leader. VINO
never has approved President Wilson.
Probably the first result of this
planned reorganization will be the
Withholding of all patronage from the
three organizations under suspicion. If
the President carries out the pro-
gramme already attributed to him by
those in position to know, Tammany
Will have an opportunity to change its
campaign slogan, "He kept us out of
the postoffice," to read, "He kept us out
of all the jobs"
Another feature of the situation that
is not being overlooked is the fact that
states that have been looked upon az
Republican terrtory-not even fight.
ing ground-have passed into the Dem
Ccratic column to the extent of being
eligible to recognition when patronage
is dispensed. New Hampshire, for in
stance, was not even considered when
Vance Mccormick outlined his cam
paign plans. No money was sent to the
state for campaign purposes, practi-
cally no speakers were assigned for
work there, and it was left almost en-
tirely to the local organization. Vic
tory in New Hampshire came as a shock
to the supposedly wise campaign lead
ers as completely as defeat did in
other states.
"Why, if we had had the slightest
idea that the race would be close in
that state we would have sent horde
of speakers up there and won it hands
down." said one representative of the
Democratic National Committee yes
terday. THE fact is that both parties
let it decide for itself just how it
would vote. and its decision for the
President is one of the numerous evil
dences that the result is vote of con-
fdence for Wilson"
Still another of the surprising feat
ures of the campaign has to do with
the fact that a President has been
elected without the aid of New York,

S25o,o0o SPENT
ELECTION NIGHT
Hotel Men Say Drink and
Food Cost City's Voters
This Amount

When Mr.. Voter crawls out of his
she'll, puts on his evening clothes and
decides to do the town, he cares no
more for a nickel than if it were 20
cents.
With the knowledge that Mr. Voter
comes out on election night en- masse
and with the ratio Of his pecuniary
vision raised to about 4 to 1, a canvass
was made yesterday of the hotels and
restaurants in the district bounded by
Fifth Avenue, Broadway, Forty-second
and Fifty-ninth Streets in an attempt
to discover just how much had been
spent in that one woolly night.
The canvass led to this conclusion:
There was spent along the Gay White
Way for food and drink approximately
a quarter of a million dollars. And
this is exclusive of theatres.
Official figures are difficult to obtain,
for hotels and restaurants have an in
herent dislike of letting other hotels
know how much they make. But they
were to be had from various persons
who had spent election night in the
hotels. -
Take, for example, the Waldorf. The
crowd accommodated here was the
largest, with the possible exception or
the Biltmore and the Plaza. Every
dining room in the house was filled.
The dinner crowd, at S. cover, mum.
bered about 1,500-S7,500 exclusive 81
wine.
There were during the course of the
evening, conservatively estimated. 1000
more people in the dining and supper,
rooms. Suppose they ate only 3
worth each-S4, 1000. The bar on big
nights usually does $1,000 or more.
And extra champagne (Which sells from
IS TO SIC bottle) must have totailed
at least $4,000. Ergo, one hotel SIG, 900.
Multiply this by the number OF big
hotels in that district; multiply II
again land add for extra drinks by
the number of restaurants and cab
arets. and add the cost of reserving
tables. Yes, s250,O0o is fairly con-
servative.

"The evidence they got ought TO and,
I expect, will send several politicians

'S7,0O0,0O0 IN BETS
HELD BY WALL ST.
Payment Awaits Official
Election Announcement;
Other Wagers Paid

Tie millions wagered in the financial
district on the outcome Of this years
Presidential election will not be paid
until it has been officially decided who
will occupy the White House after
March 4 next. This decision was
reached yesterday by the shareholders
on the Broad Street curb market who
have handled a large part Of the bets
placed. The two leading betting COM
missioners, L. J. Stokes and Edward
McQusde, united in the following an
nouncement:
until there is more definite an :.
nouncement we do not feel warranted
in payment of wagers on the Presiden-
tial election. We shall await some
form of official declaration of the re.
suit or acknowledgment by the defeated
party. Wagers on states like New
York, New Jersey and Illinois, where
there is no doubt, may be settled. Cab.
fornia and Minnesota are not out OF
the doubtful class so far as wagers are
concerned"
Wagers Aggregate 100000
Before the close of business last
Monday it was estimated that nearly
S6,000,000 had been bet in Wall Street
on the election. On Wednesday and
Thursday, with the result still in
doubt, but with indications Of Will
son victory, approximately another ST.
100000 was put up by many who
wished to reduce their losses by hedg-
ing.
It was generally conceded yesterday
that President Wilson had been re-
elected, and as a consequence the bet
ting commissioners were idle for the
first time in many days.
Just how much election betting was
bona fide and just how much was talk
and gesticulation is becoming known
and wagers made outside of the iinan-
cal district are beginning to be settled.
With the exception of the Waldorf,
there was little real betting in hotels.
A few hundred dollars changed hands
at the Vanderbilt, the McAlpin and
several other places.
100000 Bet at Waldorf
II was estimated yesterday by a
broker at the Waldorf through whom
many wagers were laid that the amount
bet at that hotel was 100000.
Tex Richard, the fight promoter,
placed 100000 on Ohio and perhaps
half as much again on the general cleo
ton. He himself bet little on the cleo
ton, contenting himself this year with
placing funds for his friends. Captain
Cushman Rice is said to have won
about s4.1O0-this, too, after he had
kissed his money goodby on Election
night. when Democratic papers an
nounced the election of the Republican
candidates. And the manager OF the
cigar department at the Waldorf IS
holding $4,000 until the return OF a
man who went to Minnesota and left
no address. This was bet on Wilson
to carry Ohio.

Pierre. S. D., Nov. 1O.-Latest re-

This is the first campaign for

A 6-inch naval gun occupied promi-

deck as she steamed up the Bay yester-
day morning. Shortly after war was
declared between Great Britain ana
Germany the Adriatic arrived WIN TOUT
6-inch guns-two forward and two aft
but all were dismounted on the fol-
lowing trip because Of protest lodged
with the State Department. A newly
invented explosive shrapnel shell is
fired from the present gun, which has
a range of ten miles. The she'll Is said
TO level everything within a radius OF
100 yards.

DECLINE IN FRENCH POETRY
Prose Has Superseded II In the Favor
Of the People, Is an Opinion
Given.

1t is fact that the French mind
uses prose as its reader instrument,
and it is also fact that at this pres
ent moment, when the French spirit
reasserts itself, poetry is far in the
background compared with what it
was at the beginning of Romanti-
cism, when Hugo, Lamartine, Musset
and Vigny occupied the front part
of the stage.
There are more poets than there
we're at any period of French litera-
ture, and their average work is SUI
perior to what it was in the nine
tenth century; but poetry is not
popular, and the best known poets,
the most successful-say, Henri de
Regnier and the Comtesse de Noail-
les-do not reach the twentieth part
