With both Tammany and fusion lead-
ers predicting a landslide today for
their respective candidates, the munici-
pal campaign, described by old-time
politicians as the liveliest of a genera-
tion, came to a close last night with
speechmaking in every part of the city.
Murphy, Tammany leader, claimed a
majority of 8150,000, while fusion lead-
ers, more conservative, estimated ma-
jorities ranging from 75,000 to 125,000.
The police are planning unusual ef-
forts both for the protection of voters
and for the prevention of repeaters. In-
formation at police headquarters last
night was that “strong arm" men, gun-
men, guerrilas and thugs generally are
to be employed to intimidate voters. To
prevent thia 700 picked policemen, fa-
miliar with underworld characters, are
assigned todaj; to all parts of all bor-
oughs. At midnight every police cap-
tain was shifted from his regular pre-
cict to another for twenty-four hours.
9,000 Warrants Issued.
In addition warrants were last night,
issued for the arrest pt 9,000 persons, to

NO COMMENT FROM BRYAN
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—The Associ-
ated Press dispatches from the City
of Mexico were read to Secretary Bryan
over the telephone shortly after mid-
night. He manifested much interest,
but said he would make no official
comment.
All during the evening the Secretary
had been expecting new developments
and prepared to stay up late to receive
dispatches.
Early in the evening an intimation
was conveyed to Secretary Bryan by
the press hat some announcement was
expected in the City of Mexico. He
acquainted President Wilson with-the
fact, but the President had retired
when the news dispatches came and he
was not awakened.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4 —All officials
here were silent today over the notice
delivered to Provisional President
Huerta yesterday that he must vacate
the provisional presidency of Mexico
and seat no partisan of bis In hi*
stead. The understanding was that
government officials here were to make
no announcements and to await the
next step. President Wilson let the
Mexican situation simmer today while
he went to Princeton to vote.
Air of Confidence Shown.
The air of confidence prevailing to-
(day in official circles is taken to indi-
cate that the United States is satisfied
that practically all of the great powers
have agreed to support the Administra-
tion’s policy, at least to the extent of
observing a strictly neutral attitude,
/and it is believed that Huerta has been
informed of this fact.
No Word from Huerta.
No report has been made public of
the jfesults of the conference with
diplomats hastily called by Huerta
when the United Stales’ ultimatum was
delivered last night. Secretary Bryan
today flatly refused to discuss the de-
mand for the immediate retirement of
Huerta.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 4.—Special pre-
cautions were taken today to prevent
violence in the street car strike, which
has completely tied up traffic since
Friday. Almost the entire police force
was kept on duty and the special depu-
ties summoned from among the busi-
ness men yesterday by the sheriff were
on guard. Mayor Shank today issued a
warning to dealer** against selling fire
arms. No attempts were made to run
the cars today.
Thirty policemen turned In their
badges today rather than ride on the
street cars and protect strikebreakers.
A squad of fifty other policemen, de-
tailed to guard a car which was pre-
paring to start, protested so strongly
that the attempt to resume traffic was
abandoned.

ing himself and Mrs. Ellie Lake in the
Florence Brown murder.
so much of the Story to confirm that
action was not expected today.
A olcal newspaper man was today
sent to jail for one day because he
published the proceedings he heard tn
the Grand Jury room during the inves-
tigation.
Mrs. Lake’s Counsel Issues Statement.
A statement by counsel for Mrs. Ellie
M. Lake, held for alleged complicity in
the murder of Florence Brown by Barr,
issued last night, declared that Mrs.
Lake was w’holly innocent of any con-
nection with the crime and that her
only acquaintance with Barr was when
he was living with his sister, who with
her husband occupied the same apart-
ment house with the Lakes, her hus-
band being at that time alive. Counsel
said they had advised their client to
talk freely before the Grand Jury and
to tell everything she knew in regard
to the matter or Barr.
Contempt Hearing On.
A motion in contempt was filed yes-
terday by County Attorney McCutcheon
against E. F. McDaniels, a reporter for
the Dallas Dispatch, charging him with
eavesdropping the proceedings of the
Grand Jury during its investigation of
the Barr confession.
Believes Barr Innocent
A former employer of Barr here in-
sists that Barr is quite innocent and
that his alleged confession is only an
hallucination. Barr was always a big
braggart, this man says, who was often
relating crime stories in which he was
a participant, and was, he says, a user
of drugs, under the influence of which
he took part In many fictitious affairs.

WASHINGTON, i Nov. 4.—Ttie "war
plans” of the Artny Ordnance Depart-
ment are completed, and for the firsf
time in the history of the country Un-
cle Sam is in readiness, at a moment’s
notice, to arm and equip 500,000 men
to send into the field in event of war
with a first-class power. These plans
have been worked out during the last
six years through the systematic and
unremitting labor of Lieut. Col. J. T.
Thompson of the Ordnance Department
under the direction of Brig. Gen. Wil-
liam Crozier,, chief of the bureau.
Basis of Plans.
Two hundred and-twenty-eight dol-
lars and forty-eight cents, the exact
amount taken in by the Daughters of
the Confederacy on “Tag Day" yester-
day, exceeded the highest hopes by
juftt 828.48. The success of the day,
due to the enthusiastic co-operation
and energetIB work of the committee
* assistants, and to the generosity of the
tag purchasers as well, is highly ap-
preciated by the daughters in the Katie
Daffan Chapter, and is taken as a fair
sign of the success of the whole under-
taking—the raising of the 85,000.
After cheeking up Monday evening
it was found that Miss Lottie Owsley
"had turned in the largest individual
amount of any committee assistant,
having collected 825.35, and later in the
day a lovely prize box of candy was
awarded Miss Owsley for her success.
Mrs E <H. Smith’s committee won
*honorable mention, turning In 856, teas
a few cents, the greatest amount turn-
ed in by any committee, and nearly
one^half of the entire amount collected.
On the committee were Misses Ruth
Adkisson, Johnnie King, Lola Harper
and Mrs. Charles Smith. Mar-
garet Bass, who only worked a couple
of hours in the morning and turned tn
817 and some cents, deserved especial
mention, that being the greatest
amount in proportion to the time em-
ployed.
At night all of the committee assist-
ants were entertained at the Princess
