New York.
New York, November 2, II a. m.-The
weather to-day is clear, and not q cloud is
to be seen. Magnificent weather is reported
from all parts OF the State. In this city a
large vote is being polled, and the excite
ment around voting places seems as great
as in 'S4. The George men claim that in
districts extending along north OF the river
from the battery to the canal streets,
they will receive almost every vote. 1t is
conceded that in many sections of the city
the George vote will be large, but in other
sections this will be offset by other votes.
In many Harlem districts there are no
George tickets to be found at the polls. In
that portion of the city known as the
"Brownstone Front District" George will
get few votes, as it is admitted on ali sides
that the result depends on the number of
votes George is able to draw from the
Democratic party.
At the Central Labor Union headuuart.
ers to-day there was great activity. From
an early hour this morning the managers
spoke confident OF the success OF the
George ticket. Henry George, Rev. DR.. Nc
Glynn, Rev. DR.. Kramer and Z. V. Pow
derby drove about to the polls in a car
riage. DR.. McGlynn said he was delighted
at the strength which the George vote had
developed, and he was sanguine that the
labor candidate would be the next Mayor.
Mr.. George appeared iubilant.
At Tammany Hall it was said every
thing looked well for the Democratic ticket
From the t~wenty-third assembly district
word came that the united Democrats
were holding their own, and the same was
the cas- in the twentieth district. 1t was
said that it looked very much as if George
was running ahead of Roosevelt, but
that there was no fear of his equaling
Hewitt's vote. In the east and west dis
tricts George was polling a heavier vote
than was expected, but these are
districts principally inhabited by the
laboring classes. Reports received at Irv-
ing Hall headquarters professed a big sue
cess for the George ticket. At the head
quarters of the County Democracy it was
estimated that George would only poll 49,
600 votes and that Roosevelt would be be-
hind George. At Roosevelt's headquarters
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Elihu Root, the
Chairman OF the Republican County Com
nittee, gave instructions to a special COM
mittee OF twenty Republican clubs, who
then scattered over the city to sec how
things were going on. BY IL o'clock Root
had heard from most OF the gentlemen, and
said from all reports received Roosevelt
was receiving hearty support from the
party all through the city. Root admitted
that from two assembly districts he had
received dispatches stating that parts of
the ticket were being sold out, but in
neither of these districts, he asserted,
would this affect Roosevelt. Reports have
also been received that George is polling a
heavy vote, and as this is said to be COM
ing almost entirely from the Democrats,
the feeling at the Republican HEADQUARTERS
is hopeful. The people there are very hap
py over the fine weather, and Roosevelt,
who came down early, is confident. Roose-
welt spent an hour or O answering mes
sages OF good cheer which he had received,
one OF them from ex-President Arthur.
At the democratic state committee head
quarters, at the Hoffman House, nothing
has been received up to noon from the in
terror OF the State. The few who were pres
ent were confident that Peckham was elect
ed. All reports received up to noon in the
city indicated that Hewitt, for mayor, was
running ahead OF his ticket. Democrats
are cOnf1dent OF his election.
One hundred and five election districts
outside of New York and Kings county,
give Peckham 1900; Daniels, 17,772.
Hill got in these districts last year 1851
and Davenport 21,612.
of New York and Kings county show that
Daniels, Republican, is getting about 80
per cent. OF the vote given to Davenport
last year while Peckham, Democrat, is get
ting about 80 per cent. of the vote given to
Hill.
New YORK, November 2.-In view.of the
few visitors at the Republican h%eaduuar-
ters to-day a dispatch from Albany said
Daniels was running ahead OF the ticket
and a large vote is being polled. The
County Committees head
quarters was crowded all the morning.
was on band early with Chaun.
cey N. Depew, Eli Root and others. He
was as confident as usual. He said he did
not think Mr.. Blaine would arrive to-day.
He said he had not heard of any republic
can defections in any OF the districts and
rumors to that effect. Georges
men are working quietly but with entire
confidence in their powerful knights OF La
Dor. At the headquarters of the labor
party Chairman McMackin asserted George
would receive 10000 votes and be elected.
.bram S. Hewitt called at the Democratic
headquarters this noon. The Democratic
claim to be still confident of
his election. 1t is rumored that 9 900 Re.
votes are being held back
and if at 3 p. m. George is ahead
will be cast for Hewitt.
At the Hoffman House betting is $25 to 80
n favor OF Hewitt. In the ninth Congress
district where S. s. Cox, Democrat,
md August P. Wagenor, are running for
Congress it is conceded that Cox is more
than holding his own. In this district the
George vote is disappointing. his friends on
he east side of Second Avenue failing to
support him. but on the west side, he is
loing better. The Republicans, however,
till claim that George will hold nearly the
ull vote accorded him. and that the result
'ill be a plurality for Roosevelt in the dis
riot. The Republicans claim that Bowie
;ochrane's election in the twelveth district
by no means certain, although the nomi-
al majority for the Democrats is about
200. The Democrats, however, believe
Cochrane's victory, claiming that the one
God effect OF the George movement is that
bringing out votes is in favor of Cochrane,
that his majority will reach 1000.
S. S. Cox has telegraphed a friend in
as follows: Georges strength
an unknown quantity and can only be
lrmised. He will probably poll $4,000
otes, Roose 7elt 20, 1000, and Hewitt 80, 900.
he prohibition strength is unknown, say
900 votes, making a total of 23O, 900.
The Mail and Express, (Republican) says,
Importers of Roosevelt all over the city
ere confident and happy.
Hewitt men were, on the other hand,
laky and uncertain, being imbued by the ]
ca that nothing short Of herculean ef- ,
rts could saw their ticket. The George !
e n say when they got a chance to ponder l
ey were content over the thought that if =
ey we're not e]ecting their men, they were
'e the boy with the bird, at least making 4.
ings lively for the Hewitt crowd.
The Post (Hewltt) in it's headlines, ex-
esses the opinion that Hewitt is elected.
