The question was raised by A. NJ

Wilmington. Del Nov. 3.-The polls
opened ia this state between 8 and 8
o clock this morning the weather being
beautiful Most of the industrial estab-
hshments are closed. There is every in
dlcation that the vote viii be the larg-
est ever polled in Delaware
at Georgetown in Sussex county ac-
cording to a special to The Despatch,
the Addicks Republicans took posses
sion Of the polling place. The Sheriff
an Addicks adherent, refused to clear
the room whereupon Judge Culletn and
Attorney General White were called
upon and restored order.
Wilmington, Del, Nov 3.-The vote
in Wilmington is heavy and at noon it
was estimated that half of the vote of
the city had been pOlled. The voting is
progressing quietly. Three negroes
were arrested on charges Of attempting
to vote illegally Republicans com
plain that election officers in Demo-
cratic divisions are preventing quail
fed negro Scitizens from voting, but
there are not enough facts to prove any
concerted movement in this direction.
Reports from the state are that the
Addicks Republicans are freely supplied
with money and are using it prOmis-
cuOusly.
Indications at p. M, are that the
Mckinley electors viii win by at least
1000 majority but that the Democrats
viii elect their candidates for governor.
