TROUBLE FEARED AT ELECTION
THE ASSEMBLY BILL PASSED ON WEDNEs-
DAY. IT Is SAID. WILL CAUSE
MUCH CONFUSION.

The Assembly bill which Senator Raines sue
cceded in having the Senate pass by unanimous
vote on Wednesday, providing for the estaohsn-
ment OF n separate election department In New
York City. II signed by the Governor and approved
by the Mayor will. according TO Republicans IN the
Brooklyn Bureau OF Elections. have demoraiizing
effect upon the general election next November
The bill as II came from the Assembly provided for
the appointment by the Mayor Of four election
commissioners on the recommendation OF the Dem
ocratc and Republican County Committees OF the
counties within the city OF New-Tork but IL old
not affect in any way the clerks and officials now
in the employ Of the Department. On motion OF
Senator Raines however. the bill was AMENDED py
inserting the following clause
The term OF office Of the Chief Of the Bureau or
Elections and Of all the officers. clerks assistants
and employees of the present Bureau OF Elections
and it's branches shall terminate sixty days after
the passage OF this act. unless such officials are
sooner removed. Within sixty days after their OPP
pointment the Board Of Elections shall appoint
such officers clerks assistants and employees. and
a chief for the Borough OF Manhattan. whose sal
airy shall be s, 900 per annun as may be necessary
r rea 'ns AND sha FIX their s}ss which shall not
be in excess OF those paid 10 officials filling Ike
places T--.-- 81
This clause makes It impossible for the Commits
sioners TO reappont any OF the present employees,
ard compels them to select their successors from
the Civil Service lists. This will happen at the be-
ginning Of the campaign. and at time when the
election department will be extremely busy with
the work preparatory 10 an election. Those who
are familiar with the details Of the Office say that
II will be absolutely impossible for an inexperienced
staff 10 cope with the work
There have been very few changes in the work
ing force Of the election department In brooklyn
since it's establishment, each set OF Commissioners
realizing that experience and skill are necessary IN
held their places for fifteen years and more. and
the most recent addition TO the stan was MADE ve
from the exercise Of political patronage.

BoBoKEy REPUBLICANS SCARCE.

From The Paterson Daily Press.
A curious state OF affairs Is the result of last
weeks election in Hoboken. The strong nde-
pendent movement In the Mayoralty contest re-
suited In most OF the Republicans supporting the
Citizens party candidate. Stuhr, so that Schell the
Republican candidate received but 261 votes out OF
a total OF over eight thousand In some precincts
bu, one Republican ballot voted though there
are supposed TO be two Republican election officers
and al least two chalengers OF that party at each
nolilnz -niace The result Is that the Republicans
have gone a good way toward ruling themselves
out Of standing. II the same percentage or votes
should be cast at the next general election the ne
nuhlican party will practically cease TO exist 10

as having failed TO poll a sufficient vote 20 be en-
titled 10 Official ballots or 10 be entitled 10 MAKE

non partisan combination TO overthrow the ma
chine and save the boss-ridden community from
the evils OF partisan rule.
