BETTING EVEN ON
NEW YORK STATE
fspecIal to The Times-Dispatch..

II &
NEW YORK. September %. Betting on
the election became more lively In wall f
Street yesterday. following the noml-;
nation Of the Democratic State ticket.
Odds changed a little and the Democratic &C
candidate for President was a trifle weak
or. Instead Of betting ] to 2 on Parker
an heretofore, the Democratic bettors
were offering q to 10 on the curl. In
other quarters, however. better terms
we're reported. II. z. Haines, OF Phil
adelphia. offered 5000 to $500 on Ro 'r':
Welt. Several small bets were made at at
odds OF 10 to 4 on Roosevelt. Il. n
several bets were made at even money
on the result OF the State election, There
was great vlgor shown by the Demo-
cratic betters In this regard, and It was
appa1ent that there was a much larger
amount OF Democratic money waiting to
be placed than the Republicans could a 70.
sorb. Mr.. Haines also announced that
he had 5000 to bet on the Republican
candidate for Governor. e. II. BROOKS
made one bet OF $500 even on Herrick, and
said he had $1,000 more to wager on the
anne terms.

bore the following words:
Placed by the British group of the
Interparlanentary Union upon the tomb
of George Washington, son of their own
race. In respectful admiration Of his noble
life and illustrious services to his coun-
try and to the world"
A representative OF the Belgian Group

the national ticket four years hence. II

President Roosevelt has never intirnatcd
that the four years OF the presidency he
now seeks would satisfy his aspirations.
On the contrary, there are good reasons
for the assumption that he would 40 an
