Thousands of Warrants to Be Issued
TO Head OFF Repeaters

New York, Nov. MANY thousand
warrants for illegal regi 'tration will
be issued to-day. Not in many years
has there been sunch perfect sys-
tenn of illegal voting as will be at
tempted Tuesday. AS there will be
many watchers" at the polls to pre-
vent Illegal voters from casting their
ballots. trouble is feared. 1t is known
| to Morgan's deputies that men have
| registered from fifteen to twenty times
| in various election districts, and ac-
| cording to the Hearst Managers, more
than $4,000 illegal votes may be cast.
George w. Morgan, state superin-
tendent of elections. will appear at the
various police courts to-day and apply
for 1000 warrants for illegal voters.
Besides this. Morgan has issued COR
der-of-arrest" lists, containing the
names of 1000 more alleged illegal
voters on warrants which he has him
self issued under his own signature.
In addition to the warrants and the
arrest tests the election inspectors
will have the challenge lists, contain
ing the names of 5000 more illegal
voters.
Net Drawn Tight.
These warrants and arrests will be
entirely independent of those of the
police. To-day the police will apply
for several thousand more warrants
for illegal voters. Under a system ar
ranged by Morgan, the arrests made
by the deputies in his office and thise
made by the police will not conflict as
they did year ago.
Mr. Morgan said that he had drawn
fraudulent voters and that he would
have them in his custody. He said he
would have $50 deputies at the polls
with the descriptions Of the men who
have registered many times and cause
their arrest.
