jOrlty the democrats will have to win
tifty.eight districts now held by the
republicans. The democrats have one
advantage in 100 seats from the south
which will not be contested because
political contests have not been al.

Joint Statehood Rejected

PENIX, Ariz., Nov. THE vote
for joint statehood in Arizona is esti.
mated not to exceed Is per cent. of the
total vote, and may be even less.
This calculation is made on partial
returns from ten out of Ii counties.
Maricopa, with five county precincts
missing, voted: For jointure, 300:
against, 1858. The legislature is
strongly Democratic. Mark Smith,
democrat, is elected delegate to con.
gress.
SANTA FE, N. NJ, Nov. 7.-Returns
are still too few and too scattered to
give any estimates of the majority for
Joint statehood and Delegate W. H.
Andrews, but they will be between l..
600 and 1000 for each. The statehood
vote seems to be only one.half of the
vote polled on local tickets, the apathy
being even more pronounced than at
first reported.

WARM IN NEW YORK.
Election DAY Incidents Cause Excitement
In Big Metropolis.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Exceptionally
favorable weather conditions came af-
ter a campaign of almost unpre-
cedented activity on the part of the
two leading candidates for governor.
In this city the balloting started with
a rush as soon as the polls we're
opened, and in many sections new
o for the early hours were made.
10 one district ir the Bronx 1872 bal.
lots were deposited in the first ninety
minutes OF voting.
Service of the thousands of the war.
rants worn out by Superintendent of
Elections Morgan was begun early in
the day and there was a ste ady stream
OF prisoners from the polling places
to the police courts. In nearly every
case in the first three hours, the pris.
oners proved their right to vote and
were permitted to go back and de.
posit their ballots.
One OF the features Of the election
was the extreme vigilance of officers
at the polls throughout the state. In
many towns and villages herds of
private detectives guarded every bal
lot box to prevent illegal voting.
In New York City more than POO
arrests had been made before noon,
but IN nearly every case the prisoners
we're able to prove their right to vote
and were released. Among those ar.
rested were many we'll known men,
whose winter homes were found closed
when the police sought to verify their
registrations. All Of these were per.
mitted to vote after proving their resi-.
dence.
While driving in a closed carriage
at Columbia and Livingston streets,
Mr.. Schoenfeld, manager for the
Hughes volunteer campaigners, and
his son Abraham we're attacked by q
gang of roughs who threw rocks and
bricks at the carriage. One brick
crashed through the glass window and
smashed Mr.. Schoenfeld's hat. At
the same time Samuel Maltz, a repub-
lican worker, was attacked while
standing near the carriage and beaten
about the head.
