tion. when il is expected that the proportion OF
voters enrolled will be larger than 1t was YESTERDAY
This wonld indicate a total enrolment about twice
os great as that of the old district associations.
DETAILS IN THE VARIOUS DIS 'RICTs.
Tn the Ist District 100 names were enrolled.
GOOD proportion of those were of persons not MEM
hers of the old association The greater number OF
those who went to the place of registration were
young men who had arrived at their majority since
the last Presidential election.
In the lid District q good share of those who en-
rolled their names were new members
OF those enrolled in the Hid District fifty per
cent were said by the inspectors to be not members
of the old association The first TO enroll his name
was the Rev. DR.. Howard Crosby. 81 guess that's
GOOD enough for me-" he sald reading over the
plan. :" / don't see how anybody can object to IT."
Following DR.. Crosby came Henry j. Scudder, ana
Charles G. Beaman, sOn-in-law OF William NJ
Evarts They expressed complete satisfaction with
tbo new measure as one that would prove beneficial
10 party organization.
The total number enrolled in tho IYth District
was 1874. Fully one-fourth of this number were
new voters, and there were also about the same
proportion of old voters who had never belonged to
the district association.
In the Vth District 2IG names were enrolled.
Most of these were well-lnOwn residents of the
district which polled q Republican vote of about
1900 IN the late election.
In the With Districtmuch interest appeared to be
taken in the enrolment. Most of those who en-
rolled were members of the old district association
In tie With District large number of cOlOred
men were enrolled several clubs Of cOlored voters
coming in L body to enroll their names.
In the With District 1877 men were enrolled,
142 of whom were members of the old district OF
ganization.
The enrolling place ii the IXth District was one
of the busiest in the city. At 10 o'clock 900 names
had been enrolled aud the Republicans were en-
thusiastc. They will send out circulars to every
member Of the party before next Tuesday and they
expect TO run up the number to 1900.
In the Xth District about 10 per cent Of the
names enrolled belonged to men who were not MEM
bers of the former association. OF those enrolled
sixteen reached their majority since the election of
1880, and four were not Republicans at that time.
In the XIth District the persons enrolled COM
prised some of the best residents. Many of them
have for the past two years been iden-
tilted with tho Citizens organization, but
expressed their intention Of hereafter
acting with the Republican party
In the XIIth District there were two factions in
the old Association, one of which was led by George
Hilhard and the other by Victor Hcmbcrgcr.
Last night Mr. Heimbcrger demanded that the
Chairman of the Enrolling Board permit ono of
Mr. HeimbergeT's friends to sit the inspectors
and witness the proceedings. This demand was
strongly demuued to at first, but was finally
granted. When $50 names had been
rolled several members of the Ilillard
faction demanded that a representative of
their side be also allowed to sit near the inspectors
This gave rise to much confusion that the chair
man ordered the police to clear the ROOM and this
was done. The men wishing to be enrolled were
then made to form in line and the enrolment pro-
ceeded the approach to the desk being guarded by
a strong force of police. When the books were
closed some forty men were yet in line. The
IIillard faction claim that of the 440 men enrolled
about 800 were members of the District Associ-
ton, while the HeimbeTger men say that not over
seventy were members Of the old association
The XIIIth District, which generally gives a
Republican majority, turned out in strong force,
and 1853 names were enrolled. Many Of these did
not appear on the old roll.
CHALLENGES ON THE EAST SIDE.
The enrolment in tho XIVth District assumed
a lively character, owing to the efforts of John
Nugent TO wrest the management of the
district from John II. Brady, whose manner
Of conducting the last campaign caused con-
siderable dissatisfaction. Eight or ten men were
challenged and hot words were exchanged by the
partIsans of both sides, hats were knocked oil and
the police had to eject some of the men 20 preserve
order TaeFe no was arrests h9 werG o
was claimed by some of the Nugcnt
men that fifty or sixty men were enrolled in
Brady's interest who had voted the Tamnany
ticket i'll the last election. These will be chal-
lenged at the meeting Of inspectors in December,
and it was asserted that many of them will not
tho challenge. There. were 241 men en-
rolled, about fifty per cent of whom
bered about 800. The place Of enrolment, No 139
First-ave., was crowded during the evening, there
being at one time if Il men in line.
There disturbance in the XVIII District,
the scene of so many crows" in the last few years
4. G. Lee, a prominent member of the old Republic
can Association, acted as chairman OF the enrolling
board. L. j. Mclaughlin and Others protested
against his acting in this capacity; Mr. Lee rather
than have any trouble, expressed his Willingness to
yacate the position, and Gilbert K Ha~es, a non
resident of the district, was chosen chairman.
When the enrolment books were closed ut 10 p III.
100 names had been recorded.
In the XVlth District 130 names were registered
equal to One-haf the membership of the old assO
citation.
In the XVIIth District the number of names en-
rolled was 374, about half of whom were young
men who had never registered before. Certain per-
sons wished TO get private roll, which was OBJ !
jected to by the Board, and an alteration took
place. II was settled by the persons getting the
roll, notwithstanding the Board.
The registration in the XVIllth District was 139 |
while the old association had 700 names on its |
kl
The enrolment in the XIXth District indicated
good deal of interest in the reorganization plan At

A large number of Republicans who were not mcm- |
hers of the old organization enrolled their names.
