received here Tuesday afternoon:
NEW YORK
NEw YORK, Nov To-day is per-
feet autumn day. Many of the voters were
out early and in the first hour or two after
the polls We're opened the voting was very
brisk. In the down town wards below Hous-
ton street, west of the Bowery, there was the
quietest election that has ever been known for
many years. Excepting a small row at Null
berry and Hester streets there was ''no fun"
as the boys said. One reason for this was the
fact that the men who had usually
been relied upon to get up the
rows were sober, and peddling George
tickets The henchmen of that candidate
were not numerous excepting in the early
morning, but the fact was that much fewer
votes than usual had been polle,l, the state
ment being made that if the polls had been
closed at 9 O'Clock, George would have been
elected hy handsome majority In many
OF the election districts the Hewitt men seem
disappointed in the tes they had expected
to control ard which were plumbed for the
labor candidate The unknown quantity was
the ruling quantity i'll the First, Second and
Fifth assembly districts. Arrests for Illegal
voting in many districts are frequent and he
fore nightfall in some of the lower districts
trouble Is anticipated.
The George workers are having a great
deal OF trouble at the polls owing TO inexpe-
rience. Many of them insist on standing at
the ballot-boxes. but are driven ont by the
unltel States marshals At Georges head
quarters at 10 O'Clock complaints were made
of a lack of tickets at many down town vot-
ing places. Congressman 5. $. Cox gave
the following estimate Of the vote in New
York to-day: Georges strength is un-
known and can only be sIrmised He will
probably poll 81 0ou votes, Roosevelt ~, 600,
and Hewitt vpudn The Prohihitim STRENGTH
