 will not be any lid on in New York election night. There won't even be a lid. but if there were any attempt to put 1t on would simply result in its being shattered into thousand pieces by the surging mobs.
 Election night here is always a Bac- chanalian affair where every sort of regulation is thrown to the winds, and no one who has not seen 1t can con- ceive of the tumult caused by 100000 people flowing through the streets in 8 screaming. showing. prank-playing tide. This year election night prom ises to far curpass anytnlng of the sort in the past largely because of the in- tense feeling over the choise of Gov ernor. The police will be satisfied if they can keep the crowds moving. and no method of surface locomotion ex- cept walking will be possible. Along Broadway, which is naturally the cen- ter of excitement, every table at every hotel and cafe has long ago been sold and the lucky holders are being of- fered anywhere from $25 to $bO0 Tor their rights according to location. Hotel proprietors have, requested pat rons to arrive before certain hour, since after that time the doors will be closed to prevent Lurtnes ansTsss Sas, made by all the hotels and theatres to keep their patrons posted as to the returns. At the city headquarters of 9overnor Hughes, the Hotel Astor will
 probably be the center or interest along the Great White Way, and the election returns will be announced m inc famous orangerie restaurant ana EVGEX hOtGl iE certain to be full however, as elab- crate preparations have been made for d,strfbutfIe returns. Probably SlOsy 1 n0l1 lyd wiff be spent by the revelers in 1 food and arink and the seftlement or vvawes. and the New Years Eve ceie- bration which usually Is the noisest or fine wear on Broadway will be outdane.
 According to reports that have been
 in circulation here during the past few dava some of the big corporations
 whtcb have been the subject of attacks in the courts are considering the plan of taking out charters in Great BTU zeal of prosecutors in the various states. A prominent corporation law. yar connected with the combination or packers known as the Beef Trust, ad- mtta that these interests have been considering the Idea Of estaolisnlng baadouarters abroad and having their business in the various States conoucteo -, comnanies entirely. independent of ons another, all books and correspond ence being kept in the European ohice' xyhera they would eb beyond the reach of prytnE Attorneys General and ens othar executors of antitrust ieSlsia~ tion. .,..
 Iii Is said here that no definite action of this sort is likely to be taken lmme- h9An discussed as a result of the recent decision soainst one of the subsidiary compa- nIes of the combination in the Calitor- mia courts. ,-... ,.,,,,. liar laws against combinations ana 'h several States, as In New XorK' suits agaInst the Trust are alredy under
