New York. Nov. 5.-Enthusiastic

Hippodrome and at Madison Square
Garden marked the close of the politi-
cal campaign tonight. An audience Of
of women and children surrounded the
building. clamoring for admittance and
defying the efforts Of 400 policemen to
preserve order. 1t was only after a
troop of mounted men had slowly fore
ed the crowd back that Madison Ave-
nue. in front of the Garden was
cleared.
There were similar scenes outside the
Hippodrome where after the building
had been packed to its fullest capacity
and the doors closed, crowd of more
than 10000 persons filled the adjacent
street and fought to enter the building.
Throughout the disorder both at the
Hippodrome and the Garden, the police
refrained from using their clubs so no
one was seriously hurt and no arrests
were made.
william Randolph Hearst was the
principal speaker at the Garden and
was received with an outbreak of
cheering which continued for nearly
twenty minutes. Mr.. Hearst evoked
another great demonstration when he
assured the audience that his election
was beyond question.
At the Hippodrome the principal adj
dress was made by Congressman w.
Bourke Cochran.
Final statements were issued tonight
by Mr.. Wins and Mr.. Jerome. and the
managers of the latter also sent out
an appeal for $4,000 to be raised for
the campaign fund by noon tomorrow.

Of the situation and in justification of
the organization, declare that the
morals of the organizations workers,
bred of confidence in MY leadership and
with victory in sight, has never been
better than 1t 10 today.
There are not more than 100000
Democratic voters in this city division
between the two Democratic candi-
dates. They cannot be divided in such
way as to render possible the election
of either. If the Republicans themselves
do not fall into the trap spread for
them by their foes"
Mr.. Jerome said:
las this campaign closes 1 have but
one feeling In my heart and that is
of overwhelming gratitude and / have
been permitted to be part of a move
ment so stirring and significant. All
over the country they see it as we do
in New York-a fight on the part of
the people to resume the power that
justly resides in them and which I'M
justly has been taken away from
them"
William Halpin, Of the Republican
committee, issued a statement tonight,
saying:
The maximum number of effective
votes, judging from registrations,
which will be cast for WINS, Hearst and
Mcclellan will aggregate $4,000. Mr..
WINS will receive a total vote in the
great city of $4,000. Hearst and Nc
Clellan will divide the other $4,000 be-
tween them, Hearst having 204,000 and
Mcclellan 10000. Mr.. Jerome will be
1t Ia not at all improbable but that he
will have a majority over all other

tration, especially in the down town
sections of the city. has been discov-
cred by the agents of State Superin-
