Candidates, party managers and political workers whose activities are centered in New York spent Sunday in comparative quiet preparing fdr the final "drive" tomorrow to make the most of the few remaining hours before election. While both Democratic and Republicans professed entire confidence in the outcome, of the voting Tuesday, they are taking no chances on making political slips or errors. Final orders have gone out from the headquarters here of the national committees to the chiefs in other states, but instructions will be transmitted tomorrow to sub chiefs and lieutenants all the way down to the precinct captains. Charles E.

Hughes, the Republican presidential candidate, who will remain here until after election, announced tonight that he considers his campaign closed and that he has no further statement to make. He told the few callers he had, however, that he felt sure of victory. Hughes Rests Mr. Hughes slept until 10.30 o'clock this morning and did not leave his hotel until after dinner tonight, when he went for a walk on Riverside Drive, calling later on the family of his son, Charles E. Hughes, where he had a visit also with his daughters, whom he had not seen since he left his summer home at Bridgehampton, N.

until they joined him at Madison Square Garden, where he spoke last night. The Republican nominee will rest again tomorrow and will vote Tues day morning from the hotel here, which is his legal residence. The polling place will be at an Eighth avenue laundry. Neither Vance C. McCormick, the Democratic national chairman, nor William F.

Wllllcox. the Republican chairman, had statements to make today. They were content with the forecasts of victory they made yesterday. Each spent part of the day at headquarters making plans for tomorrow. Wilson's East Message President Wilson's final message to state and county chairmen, wired from Long Branch, was made public at Democratic headquarters, without comment.

It was said to speak for itself. Its closing sentence was a warning against "sinister forces" which might resort "in desperation" to the'evil and insidious practices of a decade or more ago." Eleventh hour efforts of both parities will be bent to "swinging" the election of congressmen in doubtful districts throughout the country. Both presidential candidates in their campaigns have placed emphasis on the importance of electing a Congress that would be in sympathy with them and their appeals have carried weight with their managers. Frederick C. Tanner, chairman of the New York Republican state committee, issued a statement today predicting that 24 congressional candidates in this state will be elected 1 7TO 1(0 nttF sOfsJ 7 II 1 r7 SAY WLM tml 1 Master," the Academy HOME STRETCH (illj uu uiojj panunnoD) Again the Profit Sharing Club manager wishes to call your attention to the possibilities of a few wide awake men and women entering most any one of the eight districts and winning a valuable cash prize.

"Polish provinces occupied by troops of the Central Powers," says the Overseas News Agency, "were the scene today of a greats and momentous historic event. Germafiy and Austria Hungary by joint action proclaimed Warsaw and Lublin the kingdom of Poland and re established the right the Polish nation to control its own destinies, to live an independent national life and to govern itself by chosen representatives of the nation. "A few days ago a Polish delegation had called upon the Imperial Chancellor, Dr. Von Bethmann Hollweg. Its members were representative Poles of all classes, all par ties, all ranks of society and all creeds.

They transmitted to the German government the wishes of the Polish nation which now have been granted to them. The Manifesto The manifesto issued at Warsaw and Lublin reads as follows: "His Majesty, the German Emperor, and His Majesty, the Emperor of Austria and apostolic king of Hungary, Inspired by firm confidence in a final victory of their arms, and prompted by a desire to lead the districts conquered by their armies under heavy sacrifices from Russian domination towards a happy future, have agreed to form of these districts a national state with an hereditary monarchy and a constitutional government. The exact frontiers of the kingdom of Poland shall be outlined later. "The new kingdom will receive the guarantees needed for the free development of its own forces by its Intimate relations with both powers. The glorious traditions of the ancient Polish armies and the memory of the brave comradeship in the great war of our.

days shall revive in a national army. The organization, instruction and. command of this army shall be arranged by common agreement. "The allied monarchs express the confident hope that Polish wishes for the evolution of a Polish state and for the national development of Polish kingdom shall now be ful filled, taking due consideration of the general, political conditions pre vailing in Europe and of the welfare and the safety of their own countries and nations. "The great realm which the west tern neighbors of the kingdom of Poland shall have, on their eastern frontier shall be a free and happy state enjoying its own national life, and they shall welcome with' joy the birth and prosperous development of this state."
