Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 31.—1 nan In tensely exciting and decidedly sensational football game, Harvard defeated the Car lisle Indians today. 12 to 11.

There is apparently no rule covering this trick, so the play stood. Other Games on the Checkerboard (By the Associated Press.) Princeton, N. J..

POLITICAL fOG BEIOSD PROPHETS All New York is One Huge Unhappy Squint. is it McClellan or low? And the Political Seers Adjust Their Monocles and B-hold Meruas Trees Walking, Dimly, and Stand Wonder ing Clos--Lipp*d. (By the Associated Press.) New York, Oct. 31. —Three days before the municipal election of 1903, well-in | formed men on either sale of the strug gle find themselves unable to predict tfie result of Tuesday’s election, li seems probable that the election Avill be very close and that a few thousand A'otes v 11 j decide AAhether Roth Low or George B. j McClellan will be at the head of tho city’s government for the next tAvo years, i William S. Devery, who is running incu.- j prudently, is not regarded seriously rs | a candidate. Tonight the campaign prac tically closed AA'ith the hundred or more political meetings on either side. All the leaders today issued estimates of large majorities for their tickets, | Charles F. Murphy claiming the electic-:: |oi the Democratic ticket bv 190,000. M. j Lvnn Bruce and R. Fulton Cutting de clared that Low Avill be elected by about 3,000, as many as in 1901. or perhaps more, and even Devery said his election Is re. tain. It is knoAvn. hoAvever. that noio of them has confidence in his published estimates and that either side looks frr the election of its candidate by n small plurality. The fate of minor candidates, for comptroller and president of the Board of Aldermen, especially, is even more in doubt. A Democratic majority in Manhattan is generally regarded as probable and the j Fusionists are expected to carry Brook j lyn, the other boroughs being in doubt j la Brooklyn the fusionists are claiming | forty thousand majority, but it is kn<Vn ! that the more conservative estimate | places it at 15,000 to 20,000. ! Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, has issued an estimate of 82.000 plurality in Manhattan, but it is understood that lu ; does not count on more than 35.000 to ! 38,000. The combined result promises to ;be so close that the votes Devery may b*' able to draAV . from the Tammany ! strength in Manhattan may decide the (election one way or the other. Not only the return of the Demounts ! to the control of the city's government, ' but also the leadership of Murphy in Tam many Hall is involved in the struggle. Murphy, it is generally believed, Avas placed in the leadership by Richard Cro ker, and it is thought that defeat would mean his deposition. WHAT THEY THINK IN OHIO. Repsblicans Will Elect State 'fickst Bui Democrats May Get the Legislature. (By the Associated Press.) Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 31.—The cam paign in Ohio practically closed tonight with rallies everywhere. The election Tuesday is for a full Stale ticket and members of the Legislature that selects the successor of Senator Hanna. For tho first time in Ohio the tA\o parties have had nominees tor Sen ator. John H. Clarke, of Cleveland, ana Senator Hanna have canvassed the entire State for Senator and tho Senatorial fight | has predominated over State affairs. John |H. Clarke has been known for years as , ano orator and his eloquent addresses have ! fiee ndirected against Senator Hanna, I Avhile Mayor Tom L. Johnson, the Derno ioratic candidate for Governor, and other jD< mocratic speakers have also made Hanna the target of their attacks. Sena i tor Hanna aimed his philippics at Mayor I Johnson more than at his Senatorial op ponent. Johnson Avas charged Avith In - mg the real candidate for Senator as Avcli as for Governo’*. and prospective'.; a j candidate for the Democratic nomination l for President next year. While Hanna i and Johnson are not candidates tor the j same place, yet the fight has been one throughout betAA-een these two men. The indications are that Johnson will f get most of the Socialist vote, which was over 17,000 last year, but it is very doubt ful if the whole of tfiat A'ote would equal his Democratic losses. All predictions arc that the Republicans will elect their State ticket by a large plurality and th*» or.iy claims of the Democrats are for the i Legislature. It is held by the Democrats lhat tho Republicans might elect then State ticket by fifty thousand plurality and yet lose the Legislature. Looks for Johnson's Election, (By the Associated Press.) Cleveland, Ohio. Oct. 31.—Charles P. Salen. chairman of the Democratic State Executive Committee, tonight issued the following statement: “At the close of the greatest campaign ever waged by the Democratic party ot Ohio, the issues A'/hich Mayor Johnson precipitated arc stronger and the forces s importing them more determined and better entrenched than at any time In the campaign “Those Republican voters Avho regard citizenship aboA'o party and aa ho reAolt against political commercialism Avill cast their votes for the Democratic nominees throughout the State. “In the contest for GoA-ernor.

Washington, Get. 31. —The President to day issued his annual Thanksgiving Pro clamation in the following terms: ' BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA—A , PROCLAMATION. The season is at head, when, according to the custom of our people, it falls upon the President to appoint a day of praise and thanksgiving to Go. During the last year the Lord has dealt bountiful with us, giving us peace at home and abroad and the chance lor our | citizens to work for their welfare, unhin dered by war, famine or plague. It be hooves us not onlj- to rejoice greatly be cause of Avhat has been given us, but to | accept it with a solemn sense of responsi bility, realizing that under Heaven it rests Avith us ourselves to show that we are worthy to use aright what has thus been entrusted to our care. In no other place and at no other time has the ex periment of gOA crnraent of the people, by the people, for the people, been tried on so vast a scale as here m our oAvn country in the opening years of the 20th century. Failure would not only be a dreadful j thing for us, but a dreadful thing for all I mankind, because it would mean loss of hope for all who believe in the poAAer and the righteousness of liberty. Therefore, in thanking God for the mercies extended to us in the past, avc beseech him that lie may not withhold them in the future, and jthat our hearts may be roused to war steadfastly for good and against all forces of evil, public and private. Wp pray for strength and light, so that in the coming i years Ave may fearless ness and wisdom do our allotted work on tho earth in such a manner as to show that we are not altogether unAVorthy of the blessings we have received. Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States, do hereby designate a.-- a day of general thanksgiv ing, Thursday, the tAventy-sixth of the coming November, and do recommend that throughout the land the people cease from their wonted occupations and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks unto Almighty God for his manifold mercies. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of "Washington, this 31st day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and three and (Seal) of the Independence of the United States and the one hundred and twenty-eighth.
