Hughes will bo elected President of' the United States next Tuesday, commanding a majority approaching twenty-flvo in the electoral .college." That statement' is made upon tha au thority of the most aatute polltlpalobserver ill i-iio avcpuujiuaii ruuKB, wiiu, ill u icic phone message from' New" York to the Eveningi Ledger correspondent at noon toddy, said that Indiana, Illinois and Mew York- were certain to cast their electoral votes for Hughes, assuring his electtgn. This Republican manager has been actively at the head of the doubtful States, and his Information Is tho very best obtainable. He declared that the people of these doubtful States had now "obtained their second sober thoughts" and were convinced that the con tinuation of the Domocratlo p'arty In power would be Injurious to tho country when tho war ended. CQNGItESS TO BE DIVIDED The next Congress will be divided polit ical, and if Mr. Hughes Is elected, even by a majority exceeding tho estimated fig ures, ho will not have his party entirely in control In Congress. Indications point to a Democratic ma jority of at least three, and probably Ave, In the Senate. This Bcant majority, how ever, will disappear on tariff measures, as there are five Southern Senators who, for local tariff reasons, usually vote with tho Republicans. Both congressional campaign managers are claiming control of the next House, Representative Frank P. Woods", chairman of the Republican Congressional Committee, announced today that the Republicans would have a majority of twenty-seven In the House., while Representative Frank E. Doremus, directing the Democratic cam paign, said that President Wilson would be re-elected and that a Democratic House would be behind him the next four years. As accurate canvasses as are obtainable nhow that the Republicans are leading In tho race for control of the House. The situation as revealed by returns Is that the Republicans lead by five for control of the House, with .twenty-three districts doubtful. There are many disturbing Influences In congressional districts, such as labor and the women's vpte, that jnake analysis very dlfflcult. The contest for tho House, be caUse of these cross currents,, la admittedly close, but with' Hughes gaining In the piv otal States, the struggle for control of the House would seem to favor the Republi cans, i Indications are that the political com plexion ot the Pennsylvania congressional ENGINEERS HOME FROM BORDER Members of Company B Welcomed by Relatives and Officials Join in Parade and Banquet Company B, Engineers, Philadelphia's small but efficient khakl-clad contribution to tho nation's defense, arrived in this city at noon today.

Only One Survivor Is Reported LONDON, Nov. 4 At least one hundreC Uvea wero lost In the Irish Sea last night, when the ferry steamship Connemara and the ocean steamship Hotrlever were In col llslon during a hurricane off Carllngfor 1-ouKh, off the coast of Ireland. Early re ports said there were 300 passengers on the Connemara, but a telegram from the super intendent of the London and Northwestern Hallway, owners of the vessel, received thla, nfternoon, says that there were only fifty seven passengers, all British subjects, on board, noth steamships sank before life boats could be lowered. Only one survivor is reported thus far. A man named lloyle, a member or the Re-, tr(ever' crew, miraculously escaped death. Ho brought back tho story of the greatest sea disaster since the sinking of the Lusl tanla and prevented the disappearance of tho two ships, with their passengers and crew, from becoming an untold mystery. Only fragmentary reports of the disaster had reached London this afternoon. From these accounts It appears that the Conne mara, n ferry liner of the London and Northwestern Hallway Line, left Orcenore, Ireland, at about dusk yesterday evening for Holyhead, England, and collided with the Inward-Aound steamship Retriever a few miles off the Irish coast Tho Connemara was carrying fifty-one passengers. So far as known' here none of ' them was an American. Whether the IXe trlevcr carried passengers Is not known. Leaving Oreenore the ferry steamship ran Into the teeth of a violent hurricane. Plunglno along through the darknesa and storm with even greater difficulty th smaller Itetrlever, ihbound for her home port ot Newry, In Carllngford Lough, crnshed Into the Connemara. Apparently few of the Conncmara's passengers had retired when tho collision occurred. Admiralty vessels were ordered to thi scene of t?:a disaster to search for possible victims. The majorityof the passengers., It Is stated, were men. Later reports Indicate that the Retriever LaJeo,(n)-wJthln a very few moments after,-' -" I ff a n a n -am. J- -.- . - "' -. JitU ,...v..... wcm uuwn. -me tatter vessel .e was owned by the London and NortwesttrA nallway Company and was used for tha transfer of passengers between England and Ireland. ' Agents of the line were hopeful that the list of saved might lie Increased when de tails are known. This is believed doubtful. however, as the early reports say that the Connemara Bank bo quickly that it waa impossible to lower her lifeboats and the water was so cpld that there is virtually no chance of any one surviving, even though they were nble to attach life pre servers before the vessel went down, Reports from the scene of the disaster, which Lloyd's places at a point off Car llngford, Lough, on the Irish coast, IndlcaU that the- collision took place In darkness, the Retriever striking the Connemara almost amidships and smashing her holds, so that the water-tight gates were useless. A dispatch from Dublin says that reports received there say that bodies of the vic tims are coming ashore on the coast of County Down. Unless survivors have been picked up by the destroyers and coast-guard vessels sent, to the scene. It now seems likely that the crews of both' vessels, as well as all of tha passengers but one of the Connemara, per ished. v One of the causes of the disaster Is tha fact that all vessels now plying the Irish J Sea have been Instructed to dim all lights excepting thosa absolutely essential for running, and even they are reduced In strength. This ruling of the Admiralty ha been responsible for a number of miner collisions from time to 'time, but has bees) enforced by the authorities. 'l JV '..
