thusias,n without limit. The crowd
on Park row and City Hall square was
the biggest that ever gathered In New
York This on the authority of In
spector Schmittberger and every pol
iceman with experience In handling

taxed all the police resources of the
city, nearly Swamped the elevated and
gave the subway the time Of its short
life.

Long Acre square.
Start Up "A Hot Time"
When the returns hour by hour in
dicated that Roosevelt had swept the
country and carried New York by a
tremendous plurality, a man in Madi-

rumble of pipe organ started up the
battle anthem Of Ell Caney:
"There'll be hot time in the old
town tonight"
Five thousand voices took 1t up and

to Greeley square, where the crowd
there were singing "Ain't Dat q
Shame a Measly Shame?"

man house said that they believed that
they had the Bryan men in line. Evil
