| BosTox, Nov. 3. The rainy weather is
not very propitious for heavy vote and re-
ports from the polling precincts state that a
very light vote is being cast. There is some
animation in South Boston ward, but dizziness
reigns. No count is made OF the ballots cast
in Boston during Tuesday, which is re-
quirement Of the new law. 1t will be very
late before the vote of Boston will be ascer-
tanned With rare exception no crowds are
around the polling places. Locally. much
scratching and FASTING is going on and there
are some hybrid tickets.
WORCESTER, Nov. 8. Voting here today,
is very light for Senator. Hastings, repub-
lican, is likely to draw more from the demo-
Gratis than Very, democrat, does from the
republicans. Hastings will probably be
elected

The vote of the city of Boston. as given by
the city messenger and subject to slight
changes, creates some surprise. The returns
show a republican gain of some 1900 votes
over last year, when the democrats had 800
plurality. The vote of all the precincts gives
Long l6. 25s; Thompson l3, 434. This is a
falling off abont 5000 from the total vote OF
last year.
