CANUIDATES WITH FAMILIES WILL RECEIVE THE RESULTS AT THEIR SECLUDED QUARTERS

If the present favorable weather continues tomorrow both Republican and Democratic organizations are anticipating the polling of practically the entire registered vote of Wayne county. These two organizations have each completed arrangements for Tues

day's battle of ballots.' Final meetings were being held with party workers at the two party headquarters to impart instructions and political scouts were kept busy throughout the day running down the thousand and one rumors of "eleventh hour" coups only

to find them, in practically every instance, baseless. Late Pow Wows, Called. Colonization of foreign voters in a vertain north end precinct on the part of the Democrats was a report that Continued On Page Fourteen.

MEN MUST HANDLE BALLOTS WITH CARE; PAPER TEARS EASILY

State and national ballots which will be handed Wayne county voters tomorrow v hen they enter the election booth? will require particularly careful handling. They are printed on thin paper not. of the best quality. Almost everybody knows how the paper situation has been altered. Quality of paper has tumbled in direct proportion to the ascent of the price. It is said with apparent authority that the sheets which the state and national ballots are printed on are thin and that a rough stroke of a sharp pencil or a sudden twitching of the hands would mutilate the ballot so that It would have to be thrown out. The point to be remembered Is this the voter who mutilates his ballot has a right to hand it back and call for another. "No voter should take a chance of raising a ballot which he believes is

mutilated. If he is in doubt, he should get another," said an election com

missioner today.

BEFORE NEW YORK IS AWAKE CANDIDATE HUGHES WILL VOTE

NEW YORK, Nov. 6. Charles Evans Hughes' father taught him the best way to vote is to vote before breakfast. The Republican nominee is a stickler to earl yteachings so, long before breakfast, before most of New York is out of bed, Mr. Hughes will be on his way to the polls tomorrow morning. Mr. Hughes will vote In a laundry in the rear of the Astor hotel, his legal residence. Except for the interruption of his voting while he was on the supreme bench, Mr. Hughes has voted at the same place for many years. His voting tomorrow will be void of ceremony. He will go to the voting booth unaccompanied except by his bodyguard. Catches Up Lost Sleep. S

Undisturbed by straw votes and rival I

political predictions, the Republican nominee is staying close to his hotel today devoting his time largely to catching up on some of the sleep he lost while campaigning, particularly during the strenuous finishing of his stumping tours. After his Madison Square Garden speech Saturday night he climbed into bed and did ten hours and a half sleep, getting up too late for church, and he almost equalled that record again last night He had no plans for today, except to go motoring and perhaps hold several informal

conferences with his campaign managers.

Physically, Mr. Hughes is fitter than when he was nominated in June. To Mrs. Hughes, more than to the physicians who have stayed constantly with him during the campaign, i3 due the credit for the Republican nominees good health. Throughout the 30,000 Continued on Page fourteen. NEW HEARING GIVEN

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 6. Operating officers of the railroads entering Pittsburgh were all on duty today in an effort to prevent what some of them asserted would . become the greatest freight blockade ever known if the

long streams of traffic pouring into the

district were halted for as much as half an hour. . ,

It was saidjthat 10,000 loaded cars!

were- moving Detween onicago ana Pittsburg on the Pennsylvania Northwest system alone, and the situation

on the southwest system and the Penn

sylvania railroad was equally interest

ing. Every precaution known to modern railroading, it was asserted had

been taken and barring such possible

eventualities as heavy fogs in the valleys or a sudden drop in temperature there would be no stoppage. In the Pittsburgh district proper freight offerings have been so heavy that every engine and car obtainable has been pressed into service and freight is being moved. It was feared, however, by some manufacturers that they would be compelled to curtain operations if the supply of empty cars was not soon increased..

NEW YORK, Nov. 6. President Woodrow Wilson and Charles E. Hughes, candidates of the dominant parties for president, remained quietly at their homes today recuperating from the labors of the long campaign. The last word sent forward by them to the people was an expression that each felt confident of victory. President Wilson planned to remain quietly at home today and his only activity tomorrow will be a trip to Princeton to cast his ballot. Tomorrow night, wiih only the members of

were killed and forty wounded. Meanwhile companies of infantry

and artillery of the National Guard and naval militia are held under arms here pending orders to go to Everett to police the city, if necessary. Word from Adjt-Gen.'

hundreds of shots which followed their attempt to land in Everett with the avowed intention of taking part in the labor tronbles. They also say several of their number fell , overboard during the battle and were drowned.

Long Interval Follows. After a long interval the resumption of active operations in Dobrudja is reported and it announced a Roumanian victory. The Roumanians are declared . to have taken the offensive and driven back the forces of Field Marshall Von Hindenberg.

of the most powerful character by the British and French along a twelve mile front but that it accomplished nothing except a small gain for the-French. The Germans captured about 400 prisoners and eleven machine guns. Regarding the fighting on the Roumanian frontier Berlin reports Teutonic gains. The Roumanians were repulsed and lost a total of more, than 450 men in prisoners in the day's fighting.

With anticipated satisfactory Republican majorities in the two largest

counties of the district, Wayne and Henry, Republicans are today claiming victories for the G. O. P. national, state and congressional tickets. Reports received from Palladium correspondents in the county seat of six of the district counties, Union, Fayette, Rush, Franklin, Shelby and Hancock, would give the Democratic national, state and congressional tickets a total approximate majority of 500 on estimates made by the Republican leaders in those counties. These same counties will roll up a total majority of 1,200 for the Democrats in the event the Democratic figures are accurate. However, the Republicans are confident of carrying Wayne by majorities ranging from 1,200 to 2,000 and of carrying Henry by majorities ranging from 1,000 to 1,500. Democrats have conceded Republican victories in Wayne and Henry counties but by majorities so low as to be insufficient to offset the anticipated Democratic majority of the other six counties. . UNION COUNTY LIBERTY, Ind., Nov. 6. Republicans today are claiming majorities for the G. O. P. national, state and con

gressional tickets by majorities not less than 250 and the Democratic organization in Union county is not disputing this claim. The Democrats are claiming the victory of only one of their candidates for county office, Elmer Post for sheriff. He is opposed by Ward Long, Republican. The Republicans claim the election of their entire county ticket.
