Chicago, Oct. 7 Norman K.
Mack made known last night the rea
son upon which he bases his predic
tion than New York state may ijafely
be regarded as democratic this year.
Mr. Mack's statement regarding the
situation in the Empire State is hr
follOWs:
"The democratic party in New Yom
was never more united, not even :n
1892, than It Is this year. The state
is never doubtful when the demo
crats stand together. With a united
party we Had our opponents all shot
to pieces, some.republicnns are oppos
ing Roosevelt; others are against
Hughes, while another faction is set
against Taft. v
"As an instance of the union of the
democratic forces, the National Dem
ocratic Club of New York City, com
posed of 1,400 members, made up of
bunkers, merchants and professional
men, opposed Bryan almost to a man
In 1906 and 1900,.
"I am told that 95 pur cent, of the
club's membership Is ready to sup
port Bryan this year, and the club re
cently passed resolutions endorsing
him, and has contributed $2,500,
with a promise to contribute a like
amount later. With this situation I
feel thnt New -York is not only safe
for Bryan, but there' will he a demo
cratic landslide."

Convention Between Greece and

diplomatic Circles in England Re
ject the Idea of Wor.
(Special to The Times)
Constantinople, Oct. 7 The. re
port that Prince Constantine, of
Greece, was assassinated while
watching army manoeuvers, was cir
culated here today but It, is Impos
sible to verify the rumor.
The warlike aspect of the situation
Is greatly lessened today despite the
fact that, the minister of war can-. I
Unites to transport machine guns and j
munitions of war towards the fron-l
tier. His excuse for this is that of I
a defensive measure and not one of i
aggression. Unless the Bulgarian!
army crosses the frontier and invades
Turkish territory war is not immi
nent. '...' !
It is evident from the trend, of evi
dence that Turkey Is anxiously await
ing action of .the powers. Germany
is the cynosure of European eyes by
reason of her attitude of friendliness
toward Austria-Hungary, whilst the
latter empire is acquiring Turkish
territory by casual annextion. To
day Sees' AllstrluVHuTigary-s rule be
gan in Bosnia and Herzgonvia and
the results this may provoke are
large.
A military convention between
Greece and Turkey is expected as it
has been become known a conference
was held some weeks ago looking to
this end. However, this does not
have a powerful effect either one way
or another. Tho most influential
factor of the day is the action of Austria-Hungary.
But for the action of
the aged ruler Emperor Franz Josef,
tho situation would be much clearer.
Servla Is vitally interested in Bosnia
and Herzegovnia through racial ties
and the transition of government
over the provinces may provoke this
nation to action. Servla's army Is
held in readiness, it is reported here,
for quick use in case the government
sees fit to take warlike action. De
spite the fact that the people of the
nation are excited and reported to be
In favor of war, It is positive that
nothing will be done for some days
at least.
Conference Assured,
Paris. Oct. 7 An international
conference to consider the Bulgarian
situation Is assured. It will bo pro
posed by Great Britain, France and
Russia, acting together, instead of
by one power. These three powers
are in complete accord on the princi
pal of an immediate conference;
Italy is In favor of it, and even Ger
many is expected to acquiesce.
.Papers Denounce Austria.
London, Oct. 7 Excitement here
over the near eastern crisis continues
unabated in the newspapers, but the
diplomatic world rejects the Idea of
war. Turkey has nothing to gain by
war, while the young Turks know
that If war was not quickly and de
cisively successful they would lose
everything they: have won. No big
power has any interest In provoking
war at present.
The English press, eublimly un
mindful of Egypt's recent history,
are terribly severe in their com
ments on Austria's treachery and bad
faith in annexing Bosnia and Herzo
govrila. i
King Ferdinand Is said to be amaz
ed at English hostility to Bulgarian
independence. The English , papers
unite in denouncing. Austria.

NARROW ESCAPE
Pittsburg.- Pa.. Oct. 7 Roy. Knah

narrow escape with his machinist,
George Deuster, from being dashed
to --pieces on the streets of Pittsburg
while -making a trip over the city in
his airshop. When about half a mile
In i he air. directly over the high
Frlck building, one ti! the wires of
the second cylinder of his machine
broke and. the airship became unman
agoable. About 100,000 people, were
by this time watching the airship,
and they wildly applauded the dip
pings and twisting of the great
winged thing, thinking Knabenschuhe
was giving them a free exhibition.
It was not until one of the men in
the basket was seen to creep over the
edge of the basket like a fly and hang
suspended front some invisible wire
that the crowd know there was any
thing wrong. The human fly who
was performing this feat was Deus
ter, who made himself a human bal
lttRt, hanging to the broken wire to
steady the hanging, somersaulting,
dipping, runaway airship. Hanging
this was, Dettster was carried much
of the distance back to Schenley park,
three miles away, where the ship was
landed safely.
