than Bryan.
NEVADA.
Reno-Weather clear and cool: Just
the kind of day 10 bring out full vote:
at a. m. not many people on the streets;
expected that a larger vote will be polled
today than two years ago.
Reno-Returns from the state at large
are very meagre, but indications are that
the fusion ticket will carry by a large
majority. At noon half OF the local vote
had been polled.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Manchester-Weather conditions IN
this part OF the state this morning could
hardly be improved upon for an ideal
election day; air clear and crisp; sun
shining and the temperature just of the
sort to tempt the population, voting and
otherwise, out of doors.
NEW JERSEY.
Trenton-Weather for election fine; ear
" morning reports from different parts
of the state indicate an extremely heavy
vote: in Trenton as many votes cast at
10 O'Clock in the morning as had been poll
ed at noon four years ago.
Jersey 'City-The election in this city
is progressing rapidly and quietly. At
10 O'Clock it was estimated that nearly
5000 votes had been recorded. The reg
istration in the city was IS 600 and OF that
number it is believed that all but a
thousand viii vote. Republicans are
confident of carrying the county by q
comfortable majority. They say they
will elect McEwan for congress.
NEW YORK.
New York-Exceptionally fine weather
for the season makes the casting of an
unusually large vote in this city lively
probability. The 1929 polling places in
New York opened al 6 O'Clock and even
at that hour there We're people waiting
in most OF the polling booths. In fact,
early voting appeared TO be the general
rule. In one of the uptown precincts,
where there were Us names registered,
81 ballots had been cast al $50 O'clock.
In another precinct out Of 242 registered,
81 had voted by o'clock. Party lead
ers and watchers at the polls were max
ing all sorts of claims as 20 what the
early vote meant. The Bryanites claim
ed that the early vote was the dor vote
and that it was going for their candidate.
The Republicans, on the other hand, saw
in the rush the desire OF the people to
lose no time in asserting that they were
for the Republican ticket and platform.
As the counting of ballots does not be-
gin until 5 O'Clock, at which hour the
polls close, and as the voting is under
system that affords the greatest secrecy,
there can only be conjecture beyond
the narrow bounds within which voters
may choose to inform the watchers at
the polls of the way in which they have
chosen 10 cast their ballots. Up to 10
o'clock no word had reached police head
quarters OF any disorder. Interest GEN.
tiers principally in the national ticket.
The indications are that the voting is on
lines which leave little to be told by the
of previous elections.
Brookiyn-With a fine, late-autumn
morning, the early voting in this city
was unusually large today. Something
like 50 per cent of the registered voters
OF the city had cast their ballots by
O'Clock and the indications point 10 the
total vote OF the day being considerably
larger than that was cast four years ago.
1t is particularly the case in the precln-
cts where working people reside that the
voting has been done early. The polls
are open from a. m. until p. m. No
disturbances have been reported up TO 10
clock this forenoon.
Albany-Weather perfect. crisp and
vote being polled in a phenom-
snally rapid manner; by Q o'clock in some
districts half the registered vote had
been cast.
Syracuse-Wea ther ideal for election:
early vote unusually heavy in this city
and in the towns Of Onondaga county.
BuffalO-Sky today clOudless; atmos-
Dhere balrny and conditions favorable for
4 full vote; polling booths crowded from
the opening hour to noon; great interest
little excitement.
