 New York, Nov. 7.-George w. Nor gan, superintendent of elections, has prepared to arrest 14OOO illegal voters tomorrow. The natural storm center is found, of course. in the lower part of the city and in the area covered by the Second, the Sixth and the Eighth assembly districts.
 For the first time to-day the full ex- tent of the operations of superintend- ent of Elections George w. Morgan in the prevention of Tammany coloniza- tion was made known.
 MT. Morgan announced that as a re- suit of the combined work of Commis- sioner McAdoo and the police force and his own army of young deputies IA 900 would-be voters will be put under arrest, on warrants. on the very mo- ment of presenting themselves at the polls.
 Those who have noticed the weary worn aspect of Magistrates Poole, Bar low and Cornell in the last few days now know the reason. For these. three magistrates have collectively dealt with ;,. II, remaining warrants are divided between their brother magistrates, including those who are actually off duty this month, the special sessions justices. and some judges of higher rank.
 The accumulation of cases is the re- suit of more than four weeks Of inves- tigation. Acting alone has been spe- cial force of 200 deputies and headquar- ters detectives, who have now prepared and perfected cases of repeated regis trations and colonization in the Second and Sixth assembly districts. They profess to have unearthed plot among number of election district captains to provide organizers, each of whom has registered thirty times in these two assembly districts.
 Tammany, on it's side, is ready for the battle. MT. Morgan and his men. chagrined by the failure of many of their best cases, and the refusal of the supreme court justices to entertain 1 their applications, are angered. The response of the district leaders, or rather, their aides, to MT. Morgan's challenge has been prompt About soc athletic young men are to be imported 1 into the downtown districts. Many of the election district captains, acting on ftheir own responsibility, in all proba bility have already, according to the rank and file of their supporters, quiet 1y engaged the services of pugilists. Each party is entitled to two watchers, and in certain election districts of the the Second, the Sixth and the Eighth they will fight over nearly every voter i who enters the polling place. In these polling places and in the po- l lice courts, as MT. Knox, chairman of the law committee of Tammany Hall has already pointed out, will be law yers and bondsmen for the arrested voter
 Asked to-day how MT. Morgan pro- posed to serve 14,000 warrants in ona day, MT. Fuchs replied: 'sThe warrants will be served by the police. For this purpose Commissioner McAdoo has placed an extra force of men at each of the election districts in which the number of warrants to be served is aby normally large.
 aWe needed extra police" said Mir. Fuchs, and we got them.
