MARKET Is NERVOUS,
 BUT MORE STEADY
Sharp Rally Follows Decline and Close is 3 to 31 Points Up German Advance on Italian Front Inspired Some Selling.

New York, Nov 5.-While nervous and irregular, the cotton market showed a generally steadier tone to- day and rallied sharply, after an early decline, with the closing firm at a net advance of to 31 points. January rallied from 26.34c to 26.80c and closed at 2674c. The market opened steady at a decline of 10 to 23 points, under Southern selling and scattered pres sure, encouraged by good picking weather in the South and prospects for continued favorable weather for over the holiday tomorrow.
 Liverpool and domestic trade inter- ests bought at the decline, but rallies to about Saturdays closing figures, met increased offerings, partly from New Orleans and partly from local sources. These caused reactions dur ing the middle of the day. Weakness in the stock markets and reports of further German advances on the Ita- lian front probably inspired part of the selling, but the trade interests were good buyers on the decline and prices soon rallied on bullish spot ad- vices.
 Both Liverpool and New Orleans will be open for business tomrrow while the local market will be closed

AMER|CAN|SM ISSUE
 IN NEW YORK VOTING
Hillquit Opposed to War-Mit- chel Attacks Loyalty of Fly land, Tammany Candidate Gunmen Charges Made.

New York, Nov. 5.-One of the bit- terest political campaigns in this city's history came to a close tonight with the eyes of the nation looking toward New York City because two of the four candidates for mayor have injected war issues which make the outcome of tomorrow's election trans cend in interest the usual local con- troversies.
 Announcement today by District Attorney Swann that gunman had confessed to knowledge of a plot to intimidate those who sought to cast their ballots for John F. Hylan, Demo- cratic candidate, was followed by a statement from Emory R. Buckner, chairman of the fusion campaign com mittee, denying that gunmen were to be used. Mr. Buckner, whose con- mittee is seeking to re-elect Mayor John Purroy Mitchell, asserted that instead Thigh class detectives" of known and proven ability" had been engaged to prevent Tammany repeat CTS from voting.
 q have in my possession a confes- sion made by one of the men en- ployed as such that thugs and strong arm men, gorillas,' as he terms them, have been hired to assault voters at the polls," District Attorney Swann's statement says. "Their instructions are not to kill, but to disable. If the plans are carried out according to schedule there will not be enough ambulances in New York City to carry their victims to the hospitals"
 The statement charges that the thugs are under the leadership of a strike breaker who "has unlimited money to spend" and ''has been promised protection"
