McCREARY CONFIDENT.
Republicans Believe They Have Carried
Philadelphia.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.-The bright weather
during the day has cheered republicans and
democrats alike. Voting is being done rapidly
this afternoon. A number of largo industrial
establishments here shut down at 8 O'Clock.
The active men Of both parties talk confidently
Of the res tnd seemed determined not to lose
IL vote - lalf of their favoritea Though
neither 81, willing to predict majorities il
is a goOd-natured struggle though there has
been much challenging during the day.
Judge Finletter made an important decision
this IN ,rning. holding that persons having re-
ceipts paid for by the political committees
should not be entitled to vote. This ruling
has been observed. A number Of precincts
and many men are thus disfranchised.
There is much comment favorable to Mayor
Stuart. The police OF the city have had an
immemsriai habit Of interfering in the cleo
tious in behalf of the republican ticket. They
are standing far from :he polls today and
show no disposition to do work for the csudi-
dates.
Mr.. MeCreary. in an interview at 4 O'Clock,
felt confident that the returns tonight would
show his election as city treasurer The politi-
cal headquarters are deserted and will be until
the pole close. News from all over the state is
to the effect that Morrison is being scratched
in favor Of Tilden and that Gregg is polling the
usual party vote.

NEW YOBk IN DOUBT.
Democrats Claim Flowers Election by

10000
Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star
NEw YORK. Nov. 3-Late this afternoon
after all the vote had been cast. all factions
agreed that it had been very heavy one in
this city and in Brooklyn. At the headquarters
the republicans made the more en-
phatic claims of having gained the
advantage, but these were based
chiefly on information Of results in
the interior Of the state. These reports were
undoubtedly favorable to Fassett. Coming as
they did. however. from enthusiastic leaders in
the up state districts. they were not accepted as
varranting strong belief in the success of the
party.
OF the vote in the city practically nothing
could be known That there had been free use
Of pastors and combinations of ballots was GER
tain. but how the irregular votes went no one
could tell The Tammany men seemed quietly
confident Probably the County Democracy
vote was divided almost equally.
Sheehan suffered severely in BROOKLYN.
The folded ballots were used with little
trouble, and the success of the new system was
more completely demonstrated than last year.
The total number of arrests was about the
same a. usual for the same causes.
FLOWER CLAIMED By TEN THOUSAND.
Al i:30 o'clock the best informed democrats
declared their belief that Flower would be
elected by io, 900 plurality.
Richard Croker refused to give figures, but
said Flower had won.
The republicans satisfied themselves with
loud assertions that Fassett was elected. The
best information obtainable by your CORE
ypondent leads him TO believe that Flower will
be elected by majority within 10. 900. But it
is very uncertain election There was no
betting late n the afternoon.

reported at any Of the polls. John McLaugn-

jority of about 10. 900 and Shields (republican)
for register Of wills about $1,000.
Reports from points in the state are coming
in very slowly. A dispatch from Reading saws
that up to noon light vote had been polled;
that good many democrats were voting for
Gen. Gregg (republican) for auditor general
and the indications were that the city, nomi-
naily democratic by 500, would give Gregg .
small majority.

one of Mr.. Potter's assignees, expressed an
opinion today that no other banks would be
affected by the failure Of the Maverick Bank,
and that with the exception of possible in

made that there was to be private conference
between the court and counsel in the cases OF
Messrs. Potter, French and Dana, and nothing
would be given to the press except such as

ever, that no additional arrests have been made
and as yet neither Potter. French nor Dana
have given bonds. 1t is understood that the
conference is fight over the amount of bonds
to be required, the district attorney insisting
upon $500, 600 for each of the accused, while
their counsel are asking that only $40, 900 each
shall be required. Their is a belief that il the
district attorney carries his point the three men
will have to go to jail.
AT 2 o'clock the situation was this: Mr. Pot

Just been brought into court. Mr.. Dana had Sc
cured continuance of his case. his bail had
been reduced from $4,000 to $50, 600. and Mr..

Potter's assignees says no other bank will be
affected. A member Of the committee of asso-
ciated banks says the Maverick depositors will
ultimately receive about 20 per cent.
