PHILADELPHIA WANTS
TO BE RESERVE CITY.
Asks Comptroller Of Currency to Make
1t Depository Like Chicago, New
York and st. Louis.

> PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 27.-with two
exceptions, every leading bank in the city
has signed a petition asking the Comptrol-
Ter of the Currency to designate Philadel-
phia as a central reserve city for the de-
posit of national bank funds.
1t is necessary under the law to have
the assent of ~three-quarters of the banks
in an3 one city in order TO get this
privilege.
Richard H. Rushton, chairman of the
Philadelphia Clearing House committee,
today aid
philadelphia banks have on an
average SIS, 900, coo to $4,000, 600 In New
York all the year around. The law
provides that a bank can keep half of
its Is per cent legal reserve in a CEN
trail. reserve city. These cities are
Chicago, New York and st. Louis. 1t
will therefore be seen that If Philadel-
phia is added to this Ast IT. would be
able to hold its reserve in its own
vaults. Its lending capacity would not
be any greater, but 1t would be much
more comfortable In cash."

WRIGHT LEADS
IN RECOUNT
OF BALLOTS
So Far Tabulatiou FavOrS
Him in Contest With
MaSker--Ends Tonight.

With the tabulating of the ballots
of the sixth and seventh districts OF
the First Ward tonight by the Essex
County Board of Elections the Wright
Masker recount will have been COM
pleted.
Last night was devoted to the bal
lots of the fifth district. BY the rejec-
ton of five ballots and the referring of
five more to Chief Justice Gummere
as TO whether they are marked or
not. William u. Masker, whose right to
an aldermanic seat from the First
Ward Alderman Wright is contesting,
apparently lost ten votes as compared
with the returns compiled at the City
Clerks Office.
Alderman Wright lost four votes ac-
cording to the comparison, three by
reference and one in the count. That
gives Mr.. Wright a lead of six votes
inrthis district which added to h lead
of twenty-three he has gathered from
the other four districts counted, makes
his present lead twenty-nine. Indica-
lions at this time favor Mr.. Wright.
The count of the fifth district, which
alone constituted three and one-half
AiOui0 NOlhg CloA L
Wright in the lead by twenty-three
votes.
After five Masker ballots had been
rejected and three of Alderman
Wright's had met the same fate and
five more of Masker's had been referred
to the courts, the tally of the county
board, which is official. made the totals:
Wright, 1872; Masker, 219.
The figures compiled by the City
Clerks Office had the two contestants
totals as follows: Wright, 236; Mas
ker, 229.
This represented ten less for Masker,
since Ave of his had been rejected and
five referred. With his Democratic OPP
ponent, however, it meant only four
lost. three rejected and n shy of the
City Clerks total. The nervousness of
Chairman Enos Runyon, many who
kept separate tallies said, was respon-
sible for the loss of the n vote for
Alderman Wright. Several made Al
derman Wright's total 23S. City Coun-
sci James R. Nugent, who is looking
out for the interests of Alderman
Wright, did not pay much attention to
the mistake, because of his clients in
creasing lead, and, of course, former
Alderman William Pennington, Mask
er's counsel, would say nothing.
The rejected ballots were thrown out
because of distinct marks, blue pencil
marks and blue ink marks.

Are AGAINST
THE HUGE ROAD LOAN

Throughout thee ntire state sentl-
ment among the farmers is overwhelm-
ingly against the pernicious s5OO0O0
loan bill which certain interested
parties tried to jam through the House
and Senate at Dover a few days ago,
which effort was aborted by reason Of
the watchfulness and interest in the
peoples welfare manifested by some
of the lawmakers.
In order to test the sentiment in
New Castle county, a tour OF the farm
ers' markets was made on Saturday
by q reporter. and many representa-
tive farmers We're asked to express
themselves on the measure. All ex-
pressed indignation that a bill 81
manifestly unjust had been introduced
at Dover, and all declared themselves
as unalterably opposer to it. Some oi
the men stated that the measure would
last about as long as an icicle in a hot
sun if it were put before the people
for their vote.
With no exceptions. the farmers al
declare emphatically in favort OF road
improvements, but not at the expense
OF an immense indebtedness which
would take years to liquidate, and fol
which the people would still be paying
long after the roads constructed by the
bond issue were Worn out In other
words, the sentiment seemed to be tC
