SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4.-The election
today caused a general suspension of
business, and all the state, municipal
and federal offices were closed, either
wholly or during the larger portion of
the day. The weather being clear and
bright, large vote was polled early in
the day. Chief of Police Crowley had
an officer at each polling place, and one
hundred men were held in reserve to
promptly suppress any disturbance. Six
arrests were made during the forenoon
for attempted illegal voting, all being in
the water front districts. There was
much scratching OF tickets, and as less
OF this than usual was done openly, the
progress Of the vote remained in doubt
during the day.
Scattering Returns.
Up to 9:30 O'Clock the count had been
completed in only few scattering pre-
cincts in California, and the data is not
sufficient to predicate any statement as
. to the general result. kilograms re-
ceived up to this hour show that the
total vote will closely approach that Of
the presidential year. Scattering re-
turns from the southern portion Of the
state indicate that Markham is leading
the other candidates on the state ticket
in that portion of the state.
AT 9:30p. m., 22,318 votes had been
counted in 81 precincts, out of total of
the 80 precincts in the city of San
Francisco. The total number Of Repub-
lican votes in this preliminary count is
1908, and Democratic votes 9278, show
ing Republican majority of 1925.
AS p. m.-The count of the Republi-
can and Democratic ballots, both
straight and scratched, has been COM
pleted in 1872 out OF 80 precincts in this
city. The result is as follows: Repub-
lican, 1902; Democratic, 13, ,426.
The count in 22S out Of $40 precincts
shows: Republican vote, 23,521; DEM
ocratic vote, 81 ,457. The count also
shows that the Reform Democracy
polled very light vote, and that O'Don-
nell, Independent, received large vote
for mayor.
iA 1880 p. M Fifteen scattering pre-.
cincts in California outside of this city,
completed vote, give Markham $50;
Pond, 677. Owing to the changes made
in the precincts since 1888, it is impOs-
sible to compare this vote with that of
two years ago until more complete re-
turne are received.
2:l5 a. Incomplete returns have
been received from 252 out of 1883 pre-
cincts in California, outside of San Fran

vassed, it is impossible to tell which OF
the candidates is ahead.
