NEW YORK STREETS HAVE
BIGGEST ELECTION CROWD.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4-Never in Its
history has Broadway held such a mass
of people as slowly moved up and down
its sidewalks from early last evening
until dawn today. Between the Fiat
iron, from Madison Square to Lon
acre Square, the walks and the street
were filled with q densely packed mass
of people, and the police worked the
crowd into some sort OF order by
compelling them to keep moving.
Those bound uptown were herded
on the east side of the street, while the
west side was reserved for those going
in the opposite direction. Noise was the
most prominent characteristic, and 1T
was equalled only by the good nature
of the people. There was not a theatre
in New York that could not have
doubled the size of its audience II there
had been room. The streets around tne
newspaper offices were jammed. Prac-
tically every Stock Exchange house
having an uptown branch kept It open
last night, but it was reported that only
a very small amount Of business was
DONE.

mad throng of enthusiasts, who cheered
to the echo all favorable reports, with
out regard to party utilization.
All the means OF amusement peculiar
to such gatherings were brought into
play, including stentorian horns, tick

one that received anything but an en-
thusiastic welcome from its victims,
was The use Of grease paint. which
was daubed on the face of many a girl,
who wandered along the streets after

Also Moving Pictures.
To say hal all hugely enjoyed them
selves would be putting 1t mildly, and
nothing but words of praise were heard
for the magnificent service furnished
by THE STARS bulletins. When the
returns Jagged, moving pictures were
thrown on the huge canva directly
opposite THE STAR office on Broad

fully as much attention as did the

Early in the evening 1t became APP

were no desertions from the ranks, ano
at II o'clock the crowd reached Its

local contests, and every bulletin an
