been written or that Mr., Spooner con
templated resigning did NOT become
known in the senate until late Sunday,
when it created great surprise and the

New York Life Insurance company
have sent preliminary report to the
New York superintendent of insur
ance, Otto Kelsey. These figures, which
are not final, however, indicate vie
tory for the administration ticket at
the recent election. The total vote
cast was 407,7ll, of which the policy
holders candidates received l2l, 644
and the administration candidates 273,.

made no attempt yet to act on the
challenged votes or to throw out the
duplicates or test the validity of the
ballots and proxies. This work will
consume many weeks and materially
reduce the figures in all classes.
