BUSINESS MEN SEEK TO
IMPROVE GEARY STREET

large number of Geary-street
business men met last night at
Vaughan & Keith's studio and formed
the Progressive Geary-Street Improve
ment Club and outlined plans for the
proposed Improvement of Geary
street. The club is composed mostly
Of prominent merchants on that thor
oughfare and their object is to make
Geary street second to none in the
city. The meeting was inaugurated
by the election of H. G. Vaughan as
president and H. Schessler secretary
and treasurer.
Horace Platt of the Geary-street
railroad was present and offered a few
valuable suggestions. He said that If
the company could secure a franchise
from the Board of Supervisors he
would guarantee to transform the
present cable system into a modern
underground trolley electric system
and arrange with the United Rail-
roads so that passengers from the
Geary-street line might travel to all
part OF the city on one fare.
1t was decided to bring the matter
before the Supervisors at the earliest
opportunity. An effort will be made
to light the street in the business sec
ton with thirty arc lights on every
block and also to have a concert at
Union square every Saturday after
noon. The following committees were
appointed at last nights meeting:
Lighting-T. e. Valentine of the John
Breuner Company, S. B. Hicks of the
Kirk. Geary Company. H. P. Bristol
of the Bohm- Bristol Company; fran
chise-H. ]. Mulcreary of the Cordes

NEITHER SIDE BEATEN
BY MORE THAN 100 VOTES.

Baltimore, Nov. 10.-The official re-
turns received here up to late hour
tonight indicate that the vote for the
presidential candidates last Tuesday
was very close-possibly 100 on either
side. 1t is probable that Secretary of
State Oswald Tilghman will be called
upon to decide which of the electors
will be entitled to cast their votes in
Washington. -..........t
The board of canvassers in Baltimore
city and in the twenty-three counties
of the state met at noon to-day. In
Baltimore city the votes cast in the
Third Congressional district, were
counted, but the totals were not made
public. While Congressman Frank c.
Wachter was admittedly reelected the
vote on the presidential ticket is left
in doubt.
From the official returns thus far
received, the indications are that the
Republicans have elected seven and
the Democrats one of the electors of
the state.
Returns received from eleven coun-
ties of the state give the Republican
electors a plurality of II. Until the
canvassing boards of the several coun-
ties and of Baltimore city shall have
examined and counted the ballots, it
will be impossible to say which of the
presidential candidates will receive
Maryland's electoral vote.
There is no change in the Congress-
ional situation, the Democrats and Re-
publicans each having elected three
members of the next House.

Albany, N. Y. Nov. 10.-Judge d.
Cady Herrick, the defeated candidate
of the Democratic party for Governor,
will leave tomorrow for an extended
visit to Havana for his health. Upon
his return he will resume the practice
of law.
In discussing the result Of the elec-
tion, Judge Herrick said:
Perhaps the Republican party would
have won this election in any event.
But the magnitude of their victory is
due to the personality of President
Roosevelt and it is his victory, and
not that of the party. Ever since he
entered public life as a member of the
assembly soon after his graduation
from college he has had a picturesque
career, and his personality has been
an exceedingly attractive one to the
people. More than a year ago, stat
ed that l thought him the most skill
1ul politician that had occupied the
Whlte House in my time. Recent
events have strengthened my opinion
him.
This is no time for Democrats to
weep and moan. Those who are Dem
oocrats on principle will continue the
nght. Any one can fight when he is
a winner. Let the Democratic party
snow that it can keep it UP when beat
defeat.
TO Democrats I say: Keep UP the
organizations we have and strength

IN The BALANCE
1T is NOT KNOWN AS YET

2,OOO.OO0.
New York, Nov. 10.-After-election
interest was to-day suddenly centered
upon Maryland by the announcement
that that state, yesterday conceded to
the Republicans. is now in doubt.
Late returns have reduced Roose-
velt's plurality to the narrow margin
of 126 and it will take the official count
to determine whether Maryland will
be placed in the Republican or Demo-
cratic column. There is a possibility
that the states electoral vote will be
divided.
Beyond the situation in Maryland
and the fact that is now admitted that
Roosevelt carried Missouri, in which
state the Legislature is also Repub-
lican, to-day's election news is devoid
of feature.
Returns show steadily increasing
Republican pluralities and it now
seems probable that Roosevelt's plu-
rality in the popular vote will be in
round numbers 100000.
In Colorado both parties are claim
ing success on the state ticket.
