 SEIzES CUSTOMS
ROOSEVELT GOES
 HOME TO VOTE
AT WEST PHILADELPHIA RAIL ROAD EMPLoYES CLIMB ON THE PLATFORM OF GAR AND SHAKE HANDS WITH THE PRESIDENT.

New York, November 4.-President and Mrs. Roosevelt and party arrived in New York at 6:2O o'clock tonight. The party remained in New York over night and to- morrow will be taken to Oyster Bay, L. l., where the President will cast his vote. He will remain scarcely more than an hour in Oyster Bay, going in time to take an afternoon train tomorrow out of the Jersey City depot of the Pennsylvania Railroad for Washington. Owing to the care with which the exact itinerary of the trip was guarded from the public. there were but a few people along the line waiting to see the President until New ark was reached. There a crowd pressed the depot gates.
 The only untoward incident of the jour ney was the delay due to a freight wreck at Claymont, Del, which made it necessary to shift the train to the Bal timore and Ohio. tracks, whence 1t ran as far as West Philadelphia. As the train lay in the yards for some minutes the President stepped to the platform and smilngly greeted a group of railroad employees who climbed on the platform and shook hands with him. He told them IHdl ne WaS Bldu 10 see Ine1r interest m politics. as evidenced by the municipal campaign buttons they wore.
 When the train pulled into the Jersey City depot a big crowd had gathered, and a number of secret-service men, detec- tives and newspaper men followed the party to the ferry boat where carriages were waiting.
 Arrived at New York, the President and party were driven to the residence of the Presidents aunt, Mrs. James H. Roosevelt
 Tonight the President attended an in- formal reception at the Century Club, given by dozen of his personal friends.
 On his way to and from the club the President was closely guarded by de- tectives, a dozen in all. and detectives and police guarded the house in which he slept throughout the night

MARYLAND.
Both Parties Claim Situation, But Re-
 fuse to Give Figures.


 Baltimore. November 4.-On the eve of election in this State both parties claim to have the better of the situation but the leaders refuse to give any figures.
 A State comptroller and clerk of the Court of Appeals are the only State off, cers to be chosen. and most interest at taches to the election of a Legislature. which will choose a United States Sena- tor to succeed George L. Wellington, who was chosen as Republican and whose term will expire on March B. 1903.
 The campaign. which was one of the shortest on record was marked with apathy on the part of the voters that has puzzled the leaders of both parties and left the result considerably in doubt.
 In Baltimore especially the situation is anything but clear. The Republican managers claim they will elect the city ticket and will carry all three legislative districts. The Democrats say their city ticket is safe and that they will win their legislative ticket in two districts.
 In the counties the outcome is also ex- ceedingly doubtful. The Democrats un- occasionally believe that they will carry several of the counties heretofore con- sidered hopelessly Republican. and this belief is largely based upon the expecta- ton that the new arrangement of the ballot will disfranchise the greater part of the illiterate colored voters.
 Republican leaders from the county claim that they have succeeded in drill- ing their vote, and that their loss will be very small Nobody has as yet been able to forecast the exact effect of the new ballot law, and each side claims that the other will suffer heaviest through its op- erations.

ELECTION CLOSE IN NEW YORK:
 BETTING IS IN FAVOR OF LOW
REPUBLICANS ARE SURE
 THEY WILL WIN IN OHIO

indications are that it will continue cold and threatening tomorrow.
 Advices from different parts of Ohio tonight indicate great interest in doubt full counties for members of the Legisla- ture. There are no holding-over members. Senator Foraker is interested now in all the Republican legislative candidates, as he is a candidate for reelection. There is precedent to give members the en dorsement of a second term, and this makes the junior Senator also interested in all Republican candidates who are running for their first terms, as they will be, if successful tomorrow, the Repuh- lican nominees in the same districts and counties two years hence, when Senator Hanna stands for reelection. The two Ohio Senators have appeared repeatedly on the same platform and co-operat"d with Chairman Dick for both the stats and legislative tickets. The state admin istration has always been potent fac tor in Senatorial contests in Ohio
 It is conceded that the late John Sher- man would have been defeated by For aker in the formers last contest for the Senatorship, but for the assistance of Mo- Kinley, who was then Governor. In like manner Governor Hoadly supported Sem ator Payne. Governor Campbell support ed Senator Brice and Governor Bushnell supported Senator Foraker. When Gov ernor Bushnell, during his second term, opposed Hann9 for Senator, the success of the latter by one vote was an exesp- tion to the rule, and 1t was said that the national administration then overcame the state administration. a
 Governor Nash's Long Term.
 If elected tomorrow Governor Nash will be in power some months after the elec- tion at which members of the Legisla- ture are elected to choose a successor to Senator Hanna. It is reported that Con- gressman Dick; who has been chairman of the State committee for many years, is likely to be the Republican candidate for Governor two years hence. and the aftermath" in many respects is as in- teresting to politicians as the result of the election itself tomorrow. z
 The vote tomorrow will be compared with that for Governor two years ago. when 920872 votes w<re cast for Governor Nash, Republican, who had plurality of .023 over John R. Mclean, Democrat. Two years ago 106.721 votes were cast for Mayor Jones of Toledo, non-partisan candidate, and 16,063 votes for other mi- nor candidates. The latter will be about the same tomorrow. The Jones vote in 1899 will materially affect the compari- sons especially in Cleveland and Toledo, as Jones then carried both Cuyahoga and Lucas counties.
 ity will be substantially lower this year and that the Democrats will gain many county offices. The prohibitionists are still sanguine that their party will cast not less than 25.000 votes this year asf a protest to the nomination of MT. Cummins by the Republicans for Governor.

COLORADO.
Election Is Doubtful and includes Only
 County Officers.

Denver, November 4-Both the Demo- cratic and Republican party leaders to- night express confidence in tomorrow's s election. The Democrats control several of the county offices. The sheriff. how ever. supports the Republican ticket, and 1t is asserted that he will appoint large number of deputies for duty at the polls, while on the other hand the fire and po- lice board. composed of Democrats, is charged with appointing large force of special police to counteract the action of the sheriff.
 Two years ago a collision occurred be- tween the police and the deputy sheriffs in which several men were killed and wounded, and similar trouble is expected this year if the same tactics be followed.
 The election throughout the State in- cludes only county offices.

 Chairman Lindsay. of the Republican committee said tonight:
 "We have a larger majority in Nebras- ka right now than we had in the last campaign, and if we do not elect Judge Sedwick by an increased majority it will be simply because the voters are not brought out.'
 Vice Chairman Scott for the Democrats predicted the election of the fusion ticket. Chairman Defrance of the Popu- list committee coincided with MT. Scott. He said:
 "I look for from zvO.0O0 to 2050OO votes for the head of the ticket. Sedwick, Re- publican. will have about 94,000 to 96, 900. and Hollenback fusion, from 106, 900 to 1Os- 0O0"
