The second floor Of the Hotel Victoria
was given over to the III ouac Of the dead
ones last night, Among those present
we're Mr.. Fingy Corners of Buffalo. who
arrived from his home town becomingly
CARRIED In black about 7 o'clock in the even
ing; Lewis Nixon, Lewis Stuyvesant Chan
Ter. Mr.. and Mrs. john Sherman Crosby,
a girl in a white het. another In gray coat
and Mr.. Shadow Green.
Mr.. Shadow Green. who told the reporters
that he got his first name because of his
, sometime intimacy with Big Tim Sullivan
he il, Or was. a Hearst man now, however,
was the first TO arrive. just as the shades
Of night were falling fast. Shadow sail
ne had bet SIS with Marty Grogan of 81
Bowery that Hoist would AIRY New York
city by $50, 900 and naturally Shadow was
interested He showed m ore interest, in
fact, than the rest OF the statesmen and
stateswomen combined. At a late hour
Snauow was still waiting.
! Lewis Nixon came in only for a
early in the evening and gave his time
totalking to a little boy that h ad also wan-
| dered in. Whether the discussion was about
politics cannot be said authoritatively,
as the political writer's didn't like TO butt
in. Lewis Stuyvesant CHAMBER came in
with Mr.. Nixon and seemed quite clipper.
Bob Chanler' was elected Sheriff up in
Duchess county, Lewis CHAMBER said
, he believed. but wasn't certain. Nothing
certain about anything. Still he an
nouncement about Bob's carrying PoIIgh-
! keepsie, or at least the rumor that Bob had
won. helped some.
Everybody shifted and crossed his legs
the other way when the news of Bob's
probable election came in, and one old
man with a dapple gray beard even went
SO far as to get up from his chair as II to
take a drink of water over at the other
side of the room. He lost his nerve, how
ever, and sat down again.
Mr.. Conners refused 20 be quoted for
publication until something definite comes
in There were definite things coming in
right along, but they were altogether too
definite. The only real enthusiasm of the
evening was at half past \ O'Clock when a
bulletin came in announcing that tingy
had given out an official statement that
Hearst was elected.
IT'S a damn lie." yelled Fingy.
Assistant Sergeant-at-arms DAILY APP
plauded when Fp.gy said how much OF a
lie the alleged statement was and DAILY
observed that now would he a good time
to give three cheers for Mr.. Hearst. About
one and one-half cheers were then given as
a solo.

volunteered a guess as to the outcome:
Hughes will come down to the Bronx
with 10000. Hearst will carry Greater
New York by $4,000. Hearst will be elected
g~uesswork,r concluded the mathematician.
But If Hughes will get 10000 up State
and Hearst Is, 900 in the city how can Hearst
be elected by" somebody started to ask.
Mr.. Corners scratched his head over his
mathematics.
You're right he admitted. Il guess 1
put the Hughes upstate figures too high
Mrs. Crosby, no is the wife Of one of
the Hearst spell! inders and is president
of the Women's Jeffersonian Club, started
To talk about the Chanler lithograghs
scattered atout the room, but the dis
cusSion never really came TO anything.
II had TO do purely with aesthetics. Maurice
Fitzgerald. whose Paderewski locks lent
a touch Of picturesqueness TO the little
family PARTY, had nothing to say except
once late in the evening, when he came
over. to the reporters to ask them II they
had his name.
At twenty minutes to II the girl with the
gray coat and the girl with the white hat
went home, so there was really no reason
that any of the others should stay. Some
did remain until "A late hour reading the
bulletins handed over to Ftngy by h
t~elegrapher, but no one ventured TO offe
a statement. After the girls left the only
touch of color amid the gloom was Fingy's
red cravat with the yellow spots in it. IT.
Is more than probable that Fingy also went
home later, still with nothing to say.
CJnners revived enough at half past IL
this morning to send out the following
TELEGRAM to all his county chairmen'
Election close result in doubt. Guard
the returns. See We get every vote polled
for Hearst and the Democratic ticket,
and that no frauds are perpetrate1 by our
opponents. An honest election will give
US a great yict DRY.
w. j. CONNFRs. Chairman"
I IF late returns do not change tn re-
turns" said Mr.. Couners after midnight,
Hearst is elected. The result on the rest
of the ticket is close.
"The Republican managers resorted 70
everything in the way of using money.
In probably every district up the State
they bought everything they could pur-
chase, They had money, we did not. We
ran this election on a straight and honest
J basis.
