NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Claims and
counter-claims marked the early stag
es of election day in New York, and as
the day advances the assertions OF
certain victory by both the Demo.
cratic and Republican party leaders
become more confident in tone. Little
business is being transacted in the
metropolis to-day ana politics Is the
sole subject of discussion. Many big
bets have been made, according to ru.
NOR, with Taft and Chanler ruling as
favorites. Many special police are M.
trolling the streets and polling places.
1t Is feared that many voters in some
OF the congested districts will be dis.
franchised, owing to inability OF the
election officials to carry on the bal.
loting expeditiously under the new
law. chanler is apparently running
far ahead Of Hughes in this city, and
a big Hughes vote upstate will be
necessary totsave the governor from
defeat. Reports received from over
the State early this afternoon indi.
Gated that Taft has a small lead over
Bryan, but the result is still highly
doubtful. The independence party vote
will likely cut little figure, but the So.
cialists r casting a heavy vote in
some sections of the city. The Social.
lists claim that Hfllquit. the candidate
for congress from the Ninth district,
is far ahead and that he will certainly
be elected. The police department is
