WILSON MAKING
 DECISIVE GAINS
SHOWN NEW YORK HERALD POLL
Hughes Weaker Than the Party and Steadily Losing While Wilson Is Making Big Gains Throughout the Country.

NEW YORK. Oct. 24.-The New York Herald poll of the country yes terday shows that Wilson is gaining and Hughes is steadily losing ground. Hughes is making slight gains in New York, Idaho, Montana, Massachusetts, and South Dakota, and Wilson is lead ing in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ne braska. Ohio, Washington, Wisconsin, West Virginia.
 The poll of September 24th showed the candidates running practically neck and neck with Hughes gaining The present poll shows Hughes Is now weaker than his party and losing ground while Wilson is making over- whelming gains and is now even with the Republican candidate. Out of a total of 146,O67 straw votes Hughes has a majority of 3.727 while last week his majority was better than 5000. Indications point to Califor- mia probably giving the Republican candidate a majority. The RepubE- cans assert that the Democratic labor wave is swinging downward. and at the election will be much smaller than anticipated. The first tabulation gave Wilson but 45 per cent of the vote and Hughes 52 per ce..t, but present figures split the vote 6O-5O. Hughes got 50 per cent of the straw votes from the Progressives in Cali fornia, Delaware, Indiana, Maine. Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire. New Jersey, New Mexico. New York. North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota. Vermont. Wyoming. with 179 electorial votes. Pennsylva- mia with 3S and Utah with 4.
 Michigan shows the labor drift
 Detroit which is normally 10000 Re publican, and is now swinging into the Democratic column. The Repub llicans consider Indiana, Ohio. and Ill., inois off color, and the Illinois women very uncertain. Ohio Is unquestion- ably Wilsonian because of the S-hour law. The labor question is the chief issue on which both Republican and Democratic orators are centerin 7. Republicans are claiming Indiana fer Hughes by 3O,00O and Illinois h. l5O,OOO. In Wisconsin LaFollette. the republican candidate for U. s. Sena- tor, is hammering the Republicans and championing Wilson, injuring the Republican cause in that state. The Northeast is apparently strongly Re publican. New York states is doubt full, but Hughes is running behind the Republican candidate for governor, presenting an unprecedented situa- tion. The 8-hour issue upstate Is not as strong as expected and Wilson 5 strength there below what was an ticipated. In New York city Tam many is solidly for Wilson and is plan. hing to do the utmost to secure his election but may not offset united Re lpublicanism. Maryland Is Demo, cratic, Delaware Republican and Ten nessee, despite Republican congress men, is solidly Democratic. It Is in dicated that congress will follow the presidential trend.
