DELAY IN OPENING POLL
One Inspector in Thirty-six Dis
tricts Disappoints Voters

Fully 30 per cent of the registered voters OF
districts rs, 90 30 81 and SO cast their ballots
at the respective voting places: but. peculiar
feature of the ballotng was the fact that the
heaviest part of the voting took place. after the
noon hour Throughout these districts the repuoli-
can vote was about three to over the democrat
ic The estimated total balloting until shortly
before clock stood about 1.20O republicans
and 450 democrats with about nine independenee
leayrers Between $40 and o'clock the yot-
ing became heavy in many of the precincts, due
to the fact that the voters. being laboring men,
we're then leaving their places OF employment
and taking advantage of their first opportuni-
ties to cast their ballots.
Incidents which relieved the monotony of tie
day were scarce in all of the voting places in
the districts referred 10. The official Inspector
of the voting places of precincts and 5 OF
district &c failed to show up at the prescribed
opening hour. 0 O'Clock in the morning, and as
result there WIS long line OF anxious voters
outside the entrance of the store at 1925 Mar
ket street for fully half an hour. The greater
number of those who had waited declared they
would not return on account OF the negligence
shown them After considerable trouble one or
the deputy registrars was called te the scene
and II was after 80 O'clock before matters had
been adjusted. 1t was intmated that the regu-
lar official inspector of the polling place mad
indulged in a little too much premature -eele-
bration.

and hundreds of people gathered on the
hills that line the shore.
The Ocean Shore railroad carried an
excursion party to. Pedro terrace, Is
miles below the city. There a great
fire was lighted on a peak overlooking
the ocean and as the battleships passed
an answering display came from the
searchlights Rockaway, vallemar
Brighton beach, Salada and Edgemar
were alight with fires which cast a
greeting out across the water. Mon
taro, Pigeon point. Halfmoon bay and
Pescadero made carnival Of the oc-
casion, sending torches from the hills
into the clouds.
The Ocean Shore excursion party
was afforded rare spectacle from
Pedro terrace. A few cinnamon clouds
smudged the blue and crescent moon
cast silver rays upon the water. The
bonfires traced glowing paths into the
deep, preparing a veritable carpet of
light for the great ships to tread upon.
At $3.50 O'Clock, half an hour before the
feet came in sight. the broad sweep Of
the searchlights lighted the bleak hills
and painted white the dark reaches of
the sky. The lights grew in bright
ness as the vessels neared the scene
zling dress, appeared around the point
In fast succession they followed, one
after the other, until in perfect align
ment there appeared the 16 ships, about
mile between each.
Suddenly there came a mad interplay
of scarchlights. Together and across
they flashed, two from each ship. until
their combined power illumined the
sea to the glow of day.
AS they stood abreast OF the point
they signaled to the city, Is miles
away. From Point Bonita and Mount
Tamalpais came flashes in reply. Pass
ling majestically onward the Connecti-
cut neared the lightship. Then in the
telegraphic code 1t sent a message to
its comrades, calling upon them to
prepare for anchorage. The big white
lights were darkened and only the in
candescents told of the presence of the
ships. Gently the mist descended and
the armada was lost from view
