NO HOUSE AND
NO DEMOCRAT
ONE PRECINCT HAS TO CHASE
ITS VOTING PLACE AND AN
OTHER WOULDN'T SCRATCH
UP OPPOSITION.

There were two precincts In the
city at least in which the election
booths did not open sharply at IL
o'clock. One-of these was Aston
precinct, in the Fifth ward, and the
trouble was all on account of the
migration of house. According to
the advertised list of polling places
the voting place in Astor precinct
was to have been at real estate
office at Twenty-first avenue and
Grand street. When the man came
to deliver the booths he found that
the house had been moved away
and he started out OF locate 1t. He
chased 1t over several streets and
finally found 1t within the confines
of the precinct, and there he left
the booths. The judges and cleo
tors gathered at the old location of
the house and II was not until City
Clerk Fleming was called up that
the dilemma was Strengthened out
and the boths returned to the
proper places.
Out in Day precinct there was
serious hitch and one which City
Clerk Fleming did not attempt to
overcome. When the election Off
Gals met they found there was not
a democrat within gunshot to go
on the election board. The men
started to parley and rustic for
democrat but finally gave 1t up ana
telephoned to the city clerk. Elem
ing considered they had made an
honest effort--men who took the
trouble to hunt for a democrat
were not likely to job the returns
land they were told to go ahead
with the election.

Standard attorneys today filed q
brief outlining contentious of the
defense. The brief declares size
does not constitute monopoly or
even involve exclusive control un-
less such control Is the result OF
conspiracy or combination In re-
straint of trade. 1t says there is no
similarity between the present case
and the Northern Securities Co. or
American Tobacco Co., which were
cited by the government. It sets
forth that those cases were in-
stances of a combination of diverse
interests while the Standard is a
combination previously of similar
interests.

Judge and Attorneys up
for Contempt Plead
Lack of Law.

According to the contentious of
attorneys for Judge E. H. Sullivan,
Attorney N. e. Nuzum and AttOr-
ney P. G. Sullivan in contempt pro-
ceedings before Judge Huneke to-
day for violating grand jury room
secrets, it is permissible for an
attorney for one of the parties I'M

or other person to interrogate wit
nesses after they have appeared
before the grand jury as to what
they testified to.
The defendants in the latest SEN
sational development of the Root
Gordon inquiry today filed answers
admitting the charges of the grand
jury that they revealed their tes-
timony and taking refuge III the
absence of statutory provision
against it. They combatted the
secrecy ruling made by Judge
Huneke at the opening of the in
quiry on the ground that it is not
supported by law. This technically

Frank Graves, in arguing for

testimony is a right Of free speech
that cannot be abridged.
Deputy Prosecutor Kizer for the
state dwelt on the necessity of Sc

statute specifically defining obliga-

ceded throughout the city today
and the reason for the opinion is
that j. Grant Hinkle is going to
poll enough votes to make the NOM
nation of c. M. Fassett an impossi-
bility.
The Fasset forces have cried that
a vote for Hutchinson is vote for
ONO, but they now realize the
startling truth that vote for Hin
kle is a vote against Fassett. Even
money bets have been snapped up
that Hinkle polls 1000 votes in the
primaries. If he does there is no
chance for the favored son of the
tail tower
In the Second ward the Fassett
forces are looking for illegal voters
but so far without success. The
vote up to 2 o'clock in the Second
ward was light and there was little
excitement. There were no illegal
votes caught and apparently there
has been little effort to repeat the
trick of two years ago when all OF
the available floaters registered
and attempted to vote.
Hutchinson is reported as strong
in the First ward and there are
many who are positive that he will
carry the ward. If he does the
chances of Hutchinson to win are
cinched. His vote in the balance
of the city will be enough to carry
him through to victory.
The senator covered the First
ward and part of the Fifth this
morning. He will have covered all
of them by the time the polls close.
