Hearst Wilt Contest Election of McClellan
McClcTlan's plurality is the minimum
on record for a successful mayorality

IN ROLE OF MARTYR
Defeated Candidate Will Be in the Run
ning for the Next Democratic Nomina
tion for President Armour Tax Case
in Superior Court
r. h. McNeill.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 8. Decided
interest was manifested in official circles
today in the result of yesterday's elec
tions. President Roosevelt received
messages until a late hour last night
and throughout this day. No statement
could be obtained from the White House
in relation to the President's views,
neither would Cabinet officials talk, but
it is known that the administration is
not dissatisfied with the rebuke admin
istered to some of the bosses, notably
in Pennsylvania and Ohio. Mr. Bona
parte was the only Cabinet officer who
did any talking. ',-He confined his re
marks to the result in Maryland, where
he did such effective work. : There is
much rejoicing here over the blow to
bossism and much of the credit is given
to Theodore RooBevelt for the lead that
he has taken in behalf of good govern
ment everywhere.
The fortunes of of Mr. Hearst arc also
regarded as being greatly agected. It
is believed by many here that Mr.
Hearst's large vote will result at least
in keeping him to the front in New
York politics. There are some Demo
crats who believe that Hearst is likely
to be made something of a martyr by
peopio wno nave voted lor nlra on the
ground that he has been deprived of a
square deal. That he will be prominent
in tne Democratic organization during
the next contest for the Democratic
presidential nomination goes without
saying.
Packing Company Tax Case Argued.
The case of the Armour Packing Com
pany against State Treasurer Lacy was
argued today before the Supreme Court
of the United States. Attorney General
lillmer spoke for more than an hour in
support of the North Carolina statute,
which imposes a $100 tax on packing
houses in every county where business
is carried on, and which is the oasis of
the suit. The constitutionality of the
North Carolina Legislation was assailed
by Attorney T. B. Felder, of the Armour
Company, who contended that hi cor
poration was denied the equal protection
of the laws. This case originated in
Buncombe, but it involves the payment
of the tax in question at Greensboro,
Asheville, Charlotte, Wilmington and
Fayetteville. The courts of North Caro
lina sustained the State law and the
Armour Company appealed. Attorney
General "Gilmer rested his case largely
upon a case very much like this one from
Georgia. It; was the case of Kehrer,
which also involved a statute imposing
a tax upon packing-house agents. The
court here sustained the statute and Mr.
Gilmer argued that tho Georgia case
covered the one before the court.
The Southern railway general pas
senger office announced today that it
would operate special trains over both of
the routes to Norfolk from Carolina
points on account of the football game
between the Universities of .North Caro
lina and Virginia on Thanksgiving day,
One train will bo operated from Chapel

Justice Gaynor In Brooklyn Signs the
Order, Which Was the Cause of Much
Surprise Ivins Declines to Act As
Counsel For Hearst, But Will Assist.
New York, Nov. 8. With the granting
of an order of the Supremo Court by
Justice Gaynor, in Brooklyn tonight,
compelling Police Commissioner McAdoo
to remove every ballot box from all the
precincts in Greater New York to the
Bureau of Elections, William R. Hearst,
the defeated Municipal Ownership
League candidate, took his first legal
step in a fight to secure a recount of the
votes cast on election day.
The order was granted after Justice
Gaynor had reviewed affidavits sub

halt an hour later Colonel Alexander S,
llacon and F. W. Brown, representing
Air. Jlearst, served the order on Commis
sioner McAdoo, who sent out a general
order to every precinct in Greater New
York, instructing the captains, or other
officers in charge, to send the ballot
boxes straightway to the Bureau of
Flections in Manhattan. In signing the
order Justice Gaynor said:
"The police have nothing whatever to
do with the ballot boxes, and it is most
astonishing that they should have pos
session of them. They have no right to
even touch them. The order is granted."
The granting of the order came un
expectedly and caused much surprise in
connection with the opinion of Justice
Gaynor that the police have no right to

result of an assault made upon him
while he was acting as a watcher for

an altercation with State Senator John

him, dislocated his jaw, attempted to
gouge his eye out, and broke four of his

A
SAFE PLURALITY
Democrats Have a Working Ma
jority in the Ohio Leg
islature. REST OF TIGKET IN A
STATE OF UNCERTAINTY
Depends On the Size of Pattison's Plural
ity With a Probability That the En
tire Democratic State Ticket Is Elected
With the Governor.
Columbus, O., Nov. 8. That John M.
Pattison (Dem.), of Cincinnati, has been
elected Governor of Ohio for three years
by a plurality running above 40,000 over
Governor Derrick, of Cleveland, (Repub
lican) is settled tonight, as also is the
Democratic working majority in both
houses of the State Legislature; but
there is still some Uncertainty as to
the rest of the State ticket.;
Earlier returns were apparently from
sections favorable to Governor Herrick,
for he held a lead over the remainder
of the Republican ticket today when
fuller returns from county regions cut
into Herrick's vote severely, and by the
middle of this afternoon Herrick seemed
to be 40,000 votes behind the rest of
the Republican ticket.. If that differ
ence stands the victory for offices other
than Governor will depend on the size
of the Pattison plurality, with the
chances in favor of the choice of the
entire Democratic roster.
Chairman Garber, of the Democratic
Committee, tonight figured pluralities
for Pattison that aggregated close to
85,000. Jf these figures hold true the en
tire Democratio ticket is elected.
Republican estimates tonight give the
Democrats from two to five majority in
the next Senate and from ten to fifteen
in the House. The Democratic claim
is a majority of five in the Senate and
of 27 in the House.
and the Black Hand, on one side, and
Cossacks and police on the other, fought
bloody battles,
. The descent of the butchers of Mos
cow with their knives and axes upon the
students was one of the most horrible
chapters, but not as pitiful, however, as
the attack of the Black Hundred on a
procession of school children carrying
red flags. When the children sought to
escape a cordon of police barred the
way. and the youthful martys were
beatent into insensibility, and in some
cases were actually torn to pieces.
Victims Lashed to Death.
In the Alexander Garden at Moscow
Cossacks lay in ambush in the shrub
bery and set upon their victims with
whips. Many were beaten to death and
others were hardly able to crawl away.
The reports from the Caucasus show
there is no immediate prospect of sup
pressing the present state of anarchy.
Battles between Tartars and Armenians
continue, and the destruction of the
railroads and lack of troops make it im
possible for the authorities to cope with
the situation.
SHOOTING IN MECKLENBURG
Six Affairs of the Kind Within the Past
Thirty Days.
Special to Daily Industrial News. t
Charlotte, N. C, Nov. 8. A carnival
of crime runs riot among the negroes
of Mecklenburg county. Another trag
edy was added to the long list last
night when Charlie Jackson was shot
and probably fatally wounded by. John
Barnes, both colored. The shooting
took place four miles south of the city
on the Pinevillo road, on the farm o't
W. D. Beattie. It was the. result of a
quarrel over the division of crops.
Only one shot was fired, after which
Barnes pocketed his pistol and disap
peared. Efforts to locate him have
been so far ineffectual. This is the
sixth negro shot in Mecklenburg within
the past thirty days, four of whom
have died. It is probable that Jack
son's wounds will also prove fatal.
With -two exceptions the murderers
have, escaped. Barring this last shoot
ing, all have resulted directly from
whiskey, which, it would seem, is very
plentiful, especially among the negroes;

Uprising Starts in a Movement Directed at President

Washington, Nov. 8. A revolutionary I
movement has developed in San , l)o-!
mingo. News of this uprising, the first j
in many months, came to the Slate Do- j
partment last night from one of its '
representatives from Santo Domingo.
There was a lack of details, the state
ment being merely that an uprising had
occurred at Macoris, directed against the
administration of President Morales.
Ibe news was immediately commnsl
cated to the Navy Department and m
order was dispatched by cable to Rear
Admira. Bradford, who is at Guantana
mo, Cuba, to send a warship at once
to tne scene of trouble. A ship can be
sent to Macoris in half a day.
