League state that an enormous vote is
being cast in upstate manufacturing

Reports received BY Mr.. Clarence
Shearn at the Independence League
headquarters state that between 5000
and 5000 voters who cast their ballots
this morning between the time the polls
opened and o'clock, because of mis-
take on the part Of the board of elections,
were either precluded from casting their
ballots at all or used the wrong ballots
Althcuy this does not affect the val
idity OF their bsllot 50 far as their votes
for Governor is concerned, it precludsd
them from casting proper ballots for Inc
choice OF the senatorial. assembly and
perhaps congressional candidates.
If the districts affected are far as Manhat-
tan aud Queens it may sfect their ballot con-
cerring the judiciary ticket.
Phlladelpbis, Nov. 6--lntense inter-
est in the election had the effect Of
bringing out q very large vote this morn
ing. Voting is heavy all over the State
aud from indications the result will be
close and not known until late. The
campaign closed list uight with much
bitterness and raDcor. The ISSUE is the
Penrose machine which received bump
last year when State Treasurer Berry, the
fusion candidate, WAS elected. Berry
delved into the State accounts and dis
covered large extrsvagances 10 the fur
nisbiDg Of the new State capitol. The
democrats made those extrsyagances an
issne and were joined by many republic
csns. Lewis Emery, jr., is the demo-
cratic candidate who has been endorsed
BY the Lincoln republicans.

went up from the Moran headquarters to-
day, before the polls had been open four
hours. Granville S. MacFarlsnd, who
has deem 10 charge of the Moran cam
paign was the one who raised it. "They
are going 10 knife us sure" declared
MacFarlsnd, referring TO the situation
10 Boston. He said that some of the
"Old Guard" democrats we're out to do
bis candidate.
The published estimate Of Mayor Fitz
geral who says Moran will cary Boston,
by 90 000is not satisfactory.
Chicago, Nov. Election day began
Wits sunshine and balmy air, but later
the sky became overcast, although the
temp nature remained pleasant. The

357 candidates and in a few precincts
there will be more names to pick from.
The total number OF candidates in the
field, including sll who are running for
Congress, and the legislature in The
different districts, is we'll over 100. If

his own fate as he was last night.

beiny polled here today, and indications
point to the election of Thomas l. Ell

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 6.-There is
no doubt as TO the result in the State,
The only question being as to the size { f
the republican plurality. Republicans

unlikely that the representation in Con-
yress will be changed from IL republi-
cans to two democrats, although the
democrats may elect Congressman 10
he Second district.
