ly. No information has yet been

ton as to results.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Nov. g.
From the best information obtainable a
this hour throughout the district, the
democrats are polling their full vote
and the election of Jones is assured. Ir
this city the voLe polled is about the
same as heretofore and the Walton law
is complimented by both parties. There
are some few kickers, but they are
mainly the floating vote, and the So
called heretofore workers whose alb
sence from the polls with tickets is very
conspicuous, which is great relief, as
also the crowds which gathered around
them. The weather is perfect through
out the district, and if the usual vote
is cast, which at present there is all
probability, Jones's majority will
reach nearly two thousand.

this morning is bright and clear with a
very cold westerly wind. The polls
opened at six o'clock and full vote is
being polled. The heavy storm of last
night wrecked all the wires running
east from New York and the telegraph
companies are unable to reach Boston
this morning. The wires in all other
directions are in good condition.
At 1920 Superintendent Byrnes said:
"From present indications it will be
difficult to get two thirds Of the vote
polled, even if that much. In the
Third assembly district many voters
lost their votes altogether because
they could not manipulate their bal
lots in the time prescribed by law. 1t
was expected that there would be
serious falling Off the total vote in
consequence.
By s o'clock in most of the uptown
districts one-fifth of the registered vote
had been cast and at that hour most of
the voting places were crowded. 1t
was generally claimed that two thirds
of the vote at least would be cast by
noon.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Congressman
Lemuel E. Quigg, was conceded by
democrats to be far ahead in the rec-
