Things are very quiet in Hoboken to-
day. Voting was running slowly in the
Ninth and Tenth districts this morning
up to noon. In the Ninth especially was
the voting slack. In the First precinct
OF the First ward. Coyle's own borough,
the challeugers made frequent attempts
to prevent legal voters from casting in
their ballots Mayor Fsgan's detectives
were on guard. and they officiously in
tercepted about every tenth vote, but
not one challenge was granted.
About noon time they became dis
gusted aud tired and let up on the fun.
The ch ancss ara that Coyle Will run up
splendid majority in the Ninth. AS
far as things showed at noon in the
Tenth, ErlenkOetter was running even
with Meyer. Up in Simon Kelly's town
1t Is generally conceded thau Stanton's
majority will be sure enough, and that
the Weehawken portion OF the Tenth
will prove its allegiance to the Demo-
cratic candidates. About noon time
things began to liyen up.
Stanton is polling q full vote in Ho-
boken.
