U, $, SHIP SUNK
BY SUBMARINE
International News Service,
LONDON, Nov. 6.—A dispatch to
! Lloyd’s says that on October 2Sth
j the Germans sank by submrarlne at
i tack the American steamship Lanao.
This ship was under American reg
istry at Manilla and was used mostly
in plying the Pacific. Owing to the
fact that she was an American ship
with a neutral cargo and was sunk
without warning and without the
slightest excuse It Is expected here
that the United States will be com
pelled to take a firmer stand on Its
neutral rights than has so far been
manifested.
Thirty members of the crew reach
ed land safely and gave an account
of the ship’s loss.

HUGHES IS PROBABLE WINNER
IH TOMORROW’S ELECTION
-
International News Service.
CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—Hcadquaralrs
managers of each party are making
| strong claims for their respective
candidates.
Straw votes sometimes favor
Hughes and sometimes Wilson de
fendant on how they arc conducted
end the particular class, anpealed 10.
'I ho betting here and all over the
country, however, favors Hughes with
'r.e average odds ranging about ten
to eight.
The betting men and their political
forecasters put some states as cer
tain for Wilson and other sure for
Hughes. Then with the best evl
' denee they are able to gather form
| iratr final conclusion. They have thus
Lecome convinced that Hughes will
be the winner on Tuesday.
It Is generally conceded that Wil
son will carry Alabama. Arizona,
Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware,
(icorgla, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Mississippi, North Caro
lina, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. This
would make 169 electoral votes sure
tor Wilson.
The doubtful states are thought to
be Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota,
Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Washing
■on and Wisconsin. All the others
are supposed to be solid for Hughes.
if this latter supposition is correct,
is good Judges maintain, then it is
apparent that Mr. Wilson will have
to carry every one of the doubtful
stales in order to get the requisite 266
t kctoral votes. Students of the sit
uation declare that this Is most un
likely. The state of Washington for
instance is normally overwhelmingly
republican and will most likely be In
that column this year. So with Min
nesota, Nebraska. Wisconsin, Ohio,
Illinois and Michigan.
If the states today goneraly son
3cded to Hughes, all go as they 'ire
expected to go, he will have to win
only one or two of th? so-called doubt
ful states 1h order to be elected.
These calculations tnny be upset
entirely by the silent vote and the
women vote the majority of whom
are thought to favor peace at almost
any price But all things considered
Hughes is now expected to be the
choice of the people tomorrow.
Before you cast your ballot remem
ber that Wickersham is now engaged
in defending you in the matter of
reduction of freight rates. Are you
going to dismiss your attorney in this
important suit before you have l.ad
the trial. Consider what effect it
will have on the interstate commerce
if you should return your attorney
with a small endorsement in the way
of votes.
