Philadelphia Nov Happenings dur
ing the first few hours that the polls
were open this morning give every in
dication that before noghtfan Philadel-
phia will have witnessed one of the
most exciting election days in its his
tory.
Hardly had the clock handss reached
the quarter hour mark after when
there was trouble of all sorts in the
river front wards. All Of them-the
First, Second, Third. Fourth. Fifth.
Sixth, Eleventh and Sixteenth. and the
so-called tough" wards like the
Seventh. Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth
and Thirteenth-were overrun with
policemen.
In many instances there was as many
as fifteen policemen at one polling place
and they showed a strong disposition
TO run things to suit themselves when
ever they got the opportunity
SCORES OF ARRESTS MADE
Before an hour had elapsed there had
been forty arrests made in the Fifth
ward. where Thomas Sheeran is strug-
Cling for supremacy over Samuel Ma
both the Republican Organization and
the City Party there and arrests We're
frequent.
In the Eighth ward dozens Of police
men fiocked into polling places; when
ordered out by the judges of election
refused TO go and shut up the polls.
Among the division where this was
done were the First. Second. Third,
Eighth, Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Nine
teenth. 1t was evident that the police
had deliberately planned to shut the
places so that the officers would have
to appeal to court. While they were
doing so the Organization would be
losing just that many votes in this
ward where it is strong.
HARBOR MASTER ARRESTED
One of the incidents OF the day was
the arrest of the Harbor Master Samuel
G. Maloney. leader of the Fifth ward
He was taken TO the Delaney street
police station on the charge Of con-
spring to hold an illegal election.
