Election In New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Almost per-
feet weather prevails in greater New
York and early indications point to
heavy vote. While perfect order
prevailed in most sections of the city
trouble began In some quarters al
most at the start and arrests for al
legged illegal voting began almost sim
ultaneously with the opening Of the
polls. In some cases the arrests were
accompanied by disorderly demon
Strations and at least two persons, a
policeman and citizen were injured
before the voting had progressed
twenty minutes The first surprise of
the day was sprung by State Superin-
tendent of Elections Morgan, when
he distributed nearly three Thousand
deputies representing his office
through the election precincts of the
city. 1t was expected that he would
employ about eight hundred but it
was disclosed that he discovered that
under the state law he is empowered
to call on any person TO assist him
in the performance Of his duties.
The presence of deputies was early
in evidence and hundreds of men
were challenged during the first few
hours.
Nearly one-third of the normal vote
had been cast during the first two
hours and the leaders predicted a rec
ord vote before the polls closed at {
o'clock. The magistrates were sit
ting in all sections of the city to give
immediate hearing to men arrested
on charges of illegal voting and the
prisoners were arraigned as soon as
they reached the station houses. A
