Bring Results. tH TODAY DEFEAT SUFFRAGE Big Counties Likely to Cause Rejection of Measure. Both Sides Confident. TRENTON, Oct. 13.

If the woman suffrage amendment to the oontltution be toted flown In New Jersey next Tueeday it will be defeated by the political machines in north Jersey and Atlantic county without regard to party, and by the organised liqUormen. This is the charge of the suffragist leaders, and it is not disputed by anybody familiar with the eltuatlon. The suffragists have waged a cam-palgn that for picturesque features, thoro preparations and effective methods has hot been surpassed In the state bv Vote winning fight led by the males, ana is cmuneu -contest was to be decided solely on its merits without the interference of the politicians and the brewers, equal suffrage would win. The suffragist leaders claim they will carry the state by 25.000 majority. This Is disputed by those opposeu iu suffrage, and the leaders of the opposition declare that the votes for women amendment will be overwhelmingly defeated.

The suffragists admit that their hardest fights are in Hudson, TJ.cn in camden and Atlantic n'ntu. hut they say they will get majorities in the other counties large enough to overcome an adverse vote irftthe counties mentioned. Those who have given careful and unbiased alien-' tion to the situation think that the bis vote in Essex, Passaic and Atlantic counties against equai suras overcome the smaller favorable vote in the other smaller counties, but the out-; look is that If the amendment bs lost jt will be by a much smaller vote than the "antls" claim. Both sides are engaged this week in a whirlwind finish of the campaign with the suffragists havng many more speakers in the field ana conaueuua for the larger number of meetings. One of the last hour campaign features of those opposed to equal suffrage was the big ball held in the Second regiment armory, this city, last vening under the general direction i ui.

Robert C. Maxwell of Trenton, recording secretary of the New Jersey Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage. The ball was largely attended, and in addition to being an anti-suffrage eampagn feature was a fashonable social event. i Dlsoussins the situation today, Mrs. Maxwell said: "The equal suffrage amendment will 'foe overwhelmingly defeated at the polls next Tuesday.

The men of New Jersey realize that woman suffrage la an experiment in the east and that it has not been successful in the west and will not vote to give the ballot to the women of this state, i "There is no necessity for votes for women in New Jersey. The mon have glve'n us a good government and we are willing to trust our government to the men in the future. Let the women of the state solve some of their own problems, such as the servant question, before they endeavor to settle affairs of state. Women should not be forced into politics." Victory is sure to come to the suffrage cause, in the opinion of Miss ILavina Engle, one of the national field secretaries of the suffragists who has been the acting campaign manager in this state, particularly in the central section. "We expect to carry Hudson, Union, ilercer, Camden and Atlantic "counties," she aid today.

"Splendid campaign work has been done in Hudson county and the Wlttpenn faction is for us. Bayonne and Hoboken have given us some worry, but the campaign work there has counted and we are going to carry Hudson. "We admit that Atlantic is a hard county, but hard work has been done there, and we feel sure we will carry it. We hi.ve no doubt about the other counties mentioned being for us. Newark we are leaving to 'Jim' Nugent.

He Is openly against us and he has a mar-velous machine. However, we will carry the rest of Essex county easily, and we will win the state." In the opinion of Miss Engle and other suffragist leaders, the declaration of President Wilson in favor of equal suffrage will mean thousands of votes for women next Tuesday. ATTACK BULGARIA i (Continued From Page One.) elan force against Bulgaria at one of the Black sea ports, following the announcement yesterday of the premier, M. Vivlani, that Russia would be found today fighting in the Balkans for the defense of Serbia beside France and Great Britain.

The Black sea coast of Bul-j garia was reconnoitered last week, according to cable dispatches from Bul- garia by way of Bucharest, by the Russian fleet, with the aid of its aero-j plane detachment This is composed almost entirely of American flying boats, and their use was taught to the I 'Russian sailors by Charles C. Witmer, an American aviator. Besides the heavy guns that are being placed for the defense of Varna, the port is defended by two sub-, marines, according to recent reports. It is at the border of the Dobrudja territory, surrendered to Roumanla by Bulgaria in the second Balkan war and Bulgaria desires to regain. Varna is the terminus of the prin-' clpal railway line to Sofia in northern 1 Bulgaria.

There it Joins the main line the Orient route to Constantinople, over which the Germans are seeking to advance thru Serbia and Bulgaria to relief of the Turks. Burgas, another Bulgarian port some 60 miles south of Varna, is much near-j er to the Orient line, with which it is connected by a branch road, about 100 miles long. It was reported a few days ago that Turkey had sent 40,000 men to aid the Bulgarians In the defense lof this port, the possession of which RUSSIAN ARMY TO FRENCH CABINET PARIS.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13. At Liverpool covering ot shorts caused a strong tone in the wheat market. Traders were nervous, with supplies light. A good general inquiry was noted for Imported wheat with winters and Manitobas held tenaciously.

Arrivals were heavier, but Inadequate. Millers absorbed all farm offers. There Is a big demand for American flour, the shipments of which exceed those of a year ago. Countries outside of Europe will require a larger amount of flour than a year ago as their wheat Is Inferior and they are expected to take freely if prices are satisfactory, Many of these countries are poor and their Inhabitants will be compelled to economize rigidly. Roumanla and Bulgaria will not permit further exports.

Contracts closed In those countries recently have been canceled. It is reported that these purchases exceeded 35,000,000 bushels. The receipts at Minneapolis andDu-luth today were 867 cars, against 654 cars last year; at Winnipeg, 1,533 cars, against 303. at Chicago, 1,918 cars, against 464 cars. 1 Corn was firm on estimates of heavy loss to the new crop as a result of recent frost and on strength at Liverpool, where there was a good Inquiry, Cargoes there were up 6 to.
