Three days before the presidential election, candidate
Woodrow Wilson sustained a head injury when his limousine struck a hole in the street and threw him against the car's ceiling. The accident took place in

November 3, 1912 (Sunday)
At
Urga,
Mongolia, the
Russian Empire concluded a treaty with the country. The Russian Minister to

China, the Mongolian government would give
Russia "most favored nation" status for trade and mining and timber rights.[11]

The
Greek Army reached the
Aegean Seaport city of
Salonika (in Turkish, Selanik) hours ahead of the

Ottoman Empire forces without firing a shot. Although
Salonika was prepared for an attack from the sea, it had no fortification to defend against an assault from the surrounding land.[36] Both
Bulgaria and
Greece had historical claims to the port city, which had been Thessalonica in ancient Greece, and Solun in the Bulgarian Empire in medieval times; "the Bulgarians were outraged at having been deprived of their prize", which would have given Bulgaria a port on the Aegean and access to the Mediterranean Sea, and the loss of Salonika would lead to the
Second Balkan War, with Bulgaria fighting Greece and Serbia.[37]

Piltdown Man, which reported the discovery by

England of the earliest known ancestor of man under the headline, "The Earliest Man? A Skull Millions of Years Old- One of the Most Important of Our Time". The discovery would be exposed as a hoax in 1953.[51]

Hong KongGovernorFrancis Henry May directed the British colony's two streetcar companies and the Star Ferry company to stop accepting Chinese coins for payment of its fares, and to accept only Hong Kong coins. Since there were relatively few Hong Kong coins in circulation, many passengers were unable to pay their fares and the response was a public boycott of mass transportation. Ultimately, Governor May would succeed in ridding the colony of foreign coinage and currency.[71]
An earthquake killed more than 70 people in and around
Acambay,
Mexico. Most died in the collapse of a church, where the victims were women attending mass, and the male priests.[73]
The
hurricane that struck
Jamaica two days earlier weakened to a minor storm south of
Cuba before dissipating two days later north on
Honduras.[43] In total, the storm killed 105 people throughout the

President of the United States on the Socialist Party ticket, was indicted by a federal grand jury in
Fort Scott, Kansas, on charges of obstruction of justice. Charged also were Fred D. Warren, editor of the
Girard, Kansas, newspaper The Appeal to Reason, and Warren's lawyer, J. I. Sheppard. All three were accused of having paid $200 to a federal witness, to induce him to avoid testifying in their trial for misuse of the postal system.[87]
An explosion at a starch factory in
Waukegan, Illinois, killed 8 people and injured 27, while four other employees of the Corn Products Company were missing.[94]
Three delegates each from Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire met at the Turkish town of Bahçeköy, near
Çatalca,
Turkey to discuss peace. Nazim Pasha, the commander of the Turkish forces, shook hands with his counterpart, General Savoff of Bulgaria.[95]
In
Salem, Massachusetts, leaders of the
Lawrence textile strike were acquitted of charges of murder resulting from the strike. Joseph Caruso had been indicted for the killing of

treaty dividing
Morocco into two separate protectorates, with a 350 square mile zone around

Sir
Edward Henry, the Police Commissioner for London, was wounded by a man who shot him three times as the chief was returning from

United States.[110]
Greek poet
Lorentzos Mavilis, 52, who had volunteered for the Greek Army to fight in the
First Balkan War, was killed in battle at
Driskos. Reportedly, his last words were, "I expected many honors from this war, but not the added honor that I offer my life for my Greece."[111]
