Gotham Still In the Clutches of the
rammary Ring,

NEW YORK, November 4-Interest in one
of the liveliest municipal caDvasses recently
held here was increased by desire to learn
the effect of the new ballot reform law on the
masses of the people. The law worked
smoothly as a rule throughout the city. The
novel conditions of the secret ballot did not
have the pronounced effect on the vote of
certain classes that many political prophets
anticipated. This was largely the result of
educating the voters in the intricacies of the
law before the election. 1t is not thought
that want of learning kept many from the
polls, and, once there. it kept none from vot-
ing, as all were instructed, who desired, by
the poll clerks. Opinions differed as to some
of the provisions of the law and this caused
number of misunderstandings and recourse
to the courts. There was very little delay in
polling ballots and nothing occurred to ma
terially detract from the general success of
the law.
When the hour for closing the polls came
there were still In line at many of the polling
places number OF voters. According to in-
structions given by the police commission
ers, those who were then actually in line
waiting to vote were permitted to do so. No
others were allowed to go in the line. From
estimates made 1t is thought the total vote
polled will be 2250OO. The total number
registered is 245,l64
