Large Number on
The Lists
Already.
ABOUT 5000

Tomorrow Is the last registration
day and any whose names are not on
the lists by 8 o'clock tomorrow night
cannot vote on election day without
first obtaining a court order. Con-
sidering that this is not a presiden-
tial year, the registrations have been
very large, as about 5000 voters are
enrolled at present, and several hum
dred more will, in all probability, be
added tomorrow
There has been large registra-
tion all over the county. which indi-
Gates that large vote will be polled,
and incidentally shows that the
workers of both sides have. been
active. Last year the total vote in
this city was nearly 1000, but from
the number of registrations it is
likely to exceed that number by
more than 500 at the coming cleo
ton. Efforts are being made on both
sides to get out large vote.
The polls will open at / o'clock
tomorrow afternoon and remain
open until o'clock tomorrow night
and during the intervening hours the
election boards will be on duty to
add the names of voters who have
not as yet been enrolled The cleo
tion laws provide that the Judge of
the supreme court and court of COM
mon pleas shall sit on the Monday
preceding election day and on cleo
ton day to receive applications of
persons who have not been register
ed. The judges will sit on Monday
from o'clock in the morning to 8
in the afternoon and on election day
from in the morning to in the
evening. If the judges determine
that the applicant is qualified to
vote they give him an order and add
his name to the registry lists. Such
a procedure neceesitates considerable
trouble and trip to New Brunswick.
where the judges will sit. In view
of this fact there are not likely to be
very many who will fail to register
tomorrow. -

Special to the EVENING NEWS
New Brunswick, Oct. 25:-rhe
girls employed In the handmade de-
partment of the Hirshhorn- Mack
cigar factory continued to make
trouble at the plant today. This
morning the Hungarian girls tried
to prevent the American girls, of
whom there are about fifty. from en-
tering the plant. The police were
summoned and they tried to make a
way for Miss Wallace, the foreiady,
to get through the mob and inside
the building. The police were sur
rounded by the strikers, however.
and were unsuccessful. Miss Wal
lace went home.
The girls attacked the police and
some of the strikers were trampled
on in the melee. The police finally
were forced to draw their clubs and
beat their way into the street.
The striking girls continue to stay
about the plant and at noon they
held up several children who were
carrying dinner to some employed
inside, and refused to let them enter.

ssidings. It contains total area Of
1702 acres.
The property has every facility and
advantage for a big industry, including
unusual railroad facilities and a fine
water supply. One of the great ad-
vantages, and an influencing factor in
the purchase, is the fact that the com
pany can clear its cargoes at Perth
Amboy and save more than eleven
miles each way in outgoing and ineom-
ing shipments. In addition to this its
vessels viii avoid the crowded shipping
Of New York harbor. The Arthur Kill
has depth of twenty-one feet at low
tide.
These purchases are at what is
known as Tuft Point, Carteret, near
Port Reading, ON the New Jersey shore
of Staten Island sound This water
way affords deep water facilities for
ocean-going vessels, with connection
with three railroads, and these proper
ties lie somewhat to the south of the
extensive purchases made by the Stand
ard Oil Company, on which its large
refining is now in process Of erection.

FATALLY
HURT IN CRASH

A horse and wagon owned by
Sigmund Splitter, proprietor Of the
Hotel Central at Smith and State
streets, were struck by a westbound
trolley car about fifty feet east of
the Florida Grove switch shortly af-
ter o'clock Saturday night. The
horse was SO badly injured that 1t
was shot by Patrolman Lybeck and
the wagon was demolished.
The wagon was a new one used
for delivering orders and the horse
was the one which has made a num-
ber of sensational fights about town.
Mr.. Splitter has engaged Joseph E.
Stricker to look after his interests in
the matter and, unless the trolley
company settles for the damage, a
suit is likely to be instituted Will
