NO TROUBLE AT POLLS

NEW YORK, November g. noon.-Dfs-
patches from all parts of New York state
received by the Associated Press report the
election proceeding under conditions favor
able to a large vote. In some of the manu-
featuring cities the voting was slow in the
early hours, but that condition will be re-
versed in the afternoon when all the fac
tories and workshops will be closed TO give
employees an opportunity to go to the polls.
The country roads are uniformly dry and
in good condition. Nowhere was there in
dtcation of weather that would interfere
with the getting out of the farmer vote.

to predict that the vote outside of New
York city will be as large as has been cast
in any recent year.

has been represented in dispatches to the
Associated Press. all Indicating an unusual
~ fun vote. Until the ballots are counted

ber of arrests on suspicion Of Illegal voting

be attribute bic to the carelessness of reg
istratiOn clerks. No rioting has been re-
ported anywhere in the state up TO this
hour.
