IN A SEA OF BALLOTS.
Voters Likely to lie Confused on
Election Day.

Voters this fall will need the skill of
detectives to be able to pick out the
ballots they want from the mass that
will be handed them at the polls.
At the office OF Martin b. Brown, the
printer, this morning 1t was stated that
In some districts. II the Constitutional
amendments are submitted under three
separate headings. there will be at least
eighteen separate ballots. out OF which
the voters will have to select six to cast.
The largest of these will be 6xl2 inches.
and on each party ballot will be printed
the names OF the candidates for State
County. Assembly and Congressional dis
tricts.
The printer expects that in a majority
OF the Assembly districts eight parties
Will require separate tickets. In all the
districts there will be ballots for the fol-
| lowing regular parties:
| Republican, Democratic, Prohibition,
Peoples and Standardization. And in
many districts, the printer expects, there
will be in addition tickets for "A Citizens
dependent Democrats. This Will be rue
| in all cases where Independent candidates
make proper application.
In addition to these tickets there will
be ballots for and against rapid transit;
| for and against a Greater New York, and
| for and against the adoption OF Constitu-
| tiOnal amendments.
! The latter may he submitted under
three different headings-iudiCiary, APP
portionment and general II this is done
six ballots will be required. three for and
three against.
The Rapid Transit. Greater New York
and Constitutional amendment ballots
will be printed on paper 6X6 inches in
size.
on account OF the number OF candid
ates and questions to be voted on, poll
ticians believe there will be "A great deal
OF confusion at the polls, and wise dis
trict leaders will commence coaching
constituents early in the campaign.
II is likely. too, that returns will come
in very slowly, and that in cases where
the vote Is close there will be innumer-
able charges OF irregularities made.

WRECKAGE WASHED ASHORE,
Life-Savers Keeping n Sharp Look
out for Vessels in Distress.
(By Associated Pres

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., Sept. 2S.-
The storm is somewhat diminished, al
though heavy gales still prevail. The
surf is very rough.
A big piece of wreckage, believed to
be the keel of a steamer. was washed
ashore late yesterday afternoon, and
the Government lfe-saving crews are
keeping sharp lookout for vessels in
distress.
The Government wires north of Allan
tic City station are down, and there is
no means of communication with the
coast stations. The meadows between
this city and the mainland are sub
merged, but 1t is believed that railroad
traffic will not be interfered with.
