MAY BE MRS. HARTRIDGE.
Body Found in East River Partly An
swers Her Description.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The body OF a
woman of refined appearance. found yes
terday hoating in the East River, answers
in some particulars the description of Mrs.
Clifford w. Hartridge. the missing wife
of Harry K. Thaw's counsel. The body
Will be viewed today by a member of the
family to determine IL 1t is Mrs Hartridge.
Mrs. Leslie w. Russell, the missing wom-
ans mother, said last night at her home
that she was impressed with the similarity
Of the description of the body in the Ford
ham morgue with that of her daughter.
The only difference seems to be that Mrs.
Hartridge wore black skirt when she went
away. while the skirt OF the woman found
In the river Is a dark gray
The wife of the lawyer could be positively
identified by mole behind her right ear,
but there Is an abrasion behind the right
ear Of the body, which might have easily
removed such mark. The woman's nails
were inanicured and she bore every evil
dence OF having come from good surround
ings. Coroner Schwannecle said that the
body might prove to be that OF Mrs Hart
ridge. She has been missing nineteen days.
Mrs, Russell said last night that Mr.
Hartrldge was under the care OF a physi-
clan, and that ii would be impossible for
him 70 endeavor TO make an Identification
According to the description sent to the
police when Mrs. Hartridge SO strangely
disappeared she had perfect set OF teeth,
but the teeth Of the woman found In the
river are filled with gold, and this has
caused some doubt as to hor identity.

lice Monohan is receiving reports to-
day from the police of the failure OF
election boards to hang out in front OF
each polling place. as required by law,
list of the names of all the persons
entitled to vote at the coming election.
The law requires such a complete list
to be posted in conspicuous place
outside the polling place Immediately
after the last day of registration.
The police have experienced great
difficulty in investigating the registry
of the two days preceding yesterday
because of the alleged wilful neglect
of many election boards, composed of
men controlled by the two political
parties to hang out the list of names.
The registry books could not be OBJ
tanned by the police, and determined
effort was made to keep the police in
the dark as to who had been regis
tered as eligible voters
Supporters of Mayor Fagan claimed
that the action of many election boards,
particularly in the downtown districts,

had been padded to enable repeaters to
vote on election day against the Mayor
for reelection.
Andrew j. Corcoran called on the po-
lice to compel the election boards to
obey the law and today Police Captains
Kelly, of the City Hall station, and
McDevitt, of the Seventh street station,
are having each place of registry Wis

nomination. One election board in the
First Ward may find itself behind the
bars. soon if the registry list is not dis
