BIGGEST WAGER IN NEW YORK
$4,000 TO $4,000 Is BET ON
CHANLER.
Stock Broker Takes Hughes End.
Probably Represents q
Syndicate.

NEW YORK, October 23.-The biggest
election bet made since the famous pool
formed by the republicans in 1892 to stem
the tide of sentiment toward the demo-
cratic party was reported yesterday.
1t was a bet Of $4,000 on Chanler
against $4,000 on Hughes. and was ar
ranged just before the closing Of the
stock exchange.
The bet was not made in the exchange,
but the Hughes end was taken by one Of
the biggest traders there. 1t is probable
it represents the pooling Of a syndicate.
1t was agreed that certified checks for
600 to make valid the wager should be
deposited at O'Clock last night with
probably the best known stakeholder OF
election bets In this country.
This man denied he had heard anything
about 1t, although he was at the appoint
ed place at the time named, and the de-
NAL probably was technical. 1t is beyond
doubt that arrangements for this wager
were made. that the amount named 10
correct and that ii was agreed upon yes
terday afternoon.
Just now. because OF the anti-public
berring bill. there is a hesitancy about
the announcing Of any kind Of wagers.
The rate represented by the big bet was
the generally prevailing rate yesterday.
whether the speculation was in small or
large volume. One bet Of 81 600 on Chan
Ter against $500 on Hughes was reported
from Brooklyn.
In one of the large cafes near the city
hall there is a pool of $4,000. OF which
money. This is only being nibbled at. as
men with means can do better by seeking
individual enthusiasts whose judgment ID
contrary to their own.
