Unless an unusual and surprising
number of voters have delayed their
voting until evening it viii be seen
when the result is figured up that the
vote is the lightest in years.
A tour of the Ironbound district de-
veloped the fact that little interest Is
being taken in the election in the Fifth
the Tenth and the Twelfth wards. A
large demand for Shoenthal pastors was
noticeable There is a strong suspicion
that the Progressive Republican vote s
not coming out in this district, and it IS
not expected it will be out. There is
some pasting for William Mungle, Re-
publican candidate for Board of Works
Commissioner. at the expense of Thomas
IF. Halpia.
The lethergy in the Ironbound Dis
tricf is partially explained by the fact
that the election of aldermen IS ex-
citing the only interest. That interest
is not great, as the Democrats do not
hope to elect the twelve aldermen.

the Council, while they have no fear
that they will be able TO elect the six,
which will make it impossible for the
Republicans 10 have working plural
ity of two-thirds of the Council.
Almost the normal vote had been cast
in the Fourth ward by noon. Both the
Democrats and Republicans claim they
are getting out their normal vote, but
the suspicion that the Progressive Re-
publican vote was not coming out
cropped up again here. Conditions N
the Fourth ward are duplicated in the
First and Eighth wards.
About nalf the vote of the Sixteenth
ward had been cast before noon II
the Sixth, Eleventh, Thirteenth anu
Fourteenth wards the morning vote
was very light.
The first arrest for illegal voting
came in the Seventh ward, wher7 Harry
Clark. % years old. of 277 Warren
street. was taken into custody.
Judge Herr telephoned to Sergeant
jacques, of the Fifth precinct. that he
had been Informed by Health Commits
sfoner Foyle that Clarll's arrest was
due to a mistake and the prisoner was
raroled in Foyles custody until tomof-
row. W hen he is to be examined.

leaders are among the first men to vote
on a general election day. That Is

election district after breakfast and
cast a ballot for the men they favor
