MAY FILE TICKETS MONDAY.
Election Commissioners Extend Time
some Registration Precincts
Still Missing.

The board of election commissioners yes
terday extended the time in which official
tickets to be voted in the coming election
can be filed to include Monday morning.
VI to 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon none of
the official tickets had been filed, It being
announced that this formality would take
place Monday. Thu official figures for Tues
days registration are still incomplete. The
judges and clerks charged with this duty in
the Twelfth precinct of the Eighth ward.
the Fifth of the Ninth ward. and the Fifth
of the Fourteenth ward lave failed thus far
to vouchsafe any Information as to the re-
suit. in their precincts.
The law explicitly demands that all re-
turns must be in by noon tomorrow. At
the office of the commissioners yesterday
the hope was expressed that the officials
in these precincts would obey it and send
in returns. A penalty attaches to failure
to comply with the law. and it is hoped hat
this will induce the officials in the pre-
cincts named to at least communicate with
the commissioners. 1t is estimated how
ever. that the total of Tuesdays reeistra-
ton will be 1900. of which fully 10000. if
not l., 1000. will represent changes in res
licences.
