i Oct. 10, 1901
The work OF the police In the census will
unquestionably result In q Federal recount
Of New lork. The city's count OF the popu-
lation shows two hundred thousand more
names than the Republican count Aid uDs
der Mr.. Porter. The Washington Bureau
has already seen the necessity Of staving
of some Of the abuse that must come when
the result Is made public, and hence
the numerous dispatches front ex-
perts. Some Of the points are well
enough taken. Undoubtedly the po-
lice have succeeded IN getting more
names in the .enement-house districts than
| the crew Of young men whom the Burea u
sent around. This is due 10 their uniforms
and their personal knowledge OF the inhab-
itants Of the big tenement houses. But
even this and other similar excuses will
not explain the enormous shortage OF a0-
GOO names. The city expects an official re-
count, and IL looks ~ il II would have TO
be humored in the matter.

be forwarded In about week or two. The
request SO Tar Of the committee has been for
provisions ard clothing In preference TO
anything else.
