TODAY'S ELECTION.
VIRGINIA.

in this city up 10 noon was q little
heavier than under ordinary conditions.
The amendments to the constitution
are bringing out many votes. The be-
lief here is that the treasurers and COM
missioners of the revenue will win out
and that the other amendment will be
defeated.
Richmond, Va, Nov. S.-With the
weather generally fair and not too cold
throughout the state, early indications
we're that an enormous vote would be
polled in all the congressional districts.
In the Ninth, Fifth and Second dis
tricts, where the contest is closest, the
vote will be heaviest. Elsewhere the
ballots will be mere expressions OF con-
6denca in the democratic nominees.
Nevertheless, it is probable that the
balloting will exceed that OF the last
election by several thousand.
MARYLAND.
Baltimore, Nov. Solicitations at
10 o'clock this morning were that the
heaviest vote ever polled in, the state
was being cast for an "off year." The
day is ideal for voting, clear, and just
d total poll OF the city will exceed 22O,-
900. The democrats are already
claiming five cut OF the six districts.
The republicans declare that they will
have at least three Of the six congress-
men. In the third district the vote Of
George KONG, democratic congressional
candidate, is being heavily cut down by
Robert ]. Fields, socialist.
NEW YORK
New York, Nov. 8.-Early hours at
the polls here today indicated that the
vote will be one of the heaviest cast in
years. In spite Of cold, blustry
morning, in which the first snow OF the
season changed into rain and then back
into snow, the polls had hardly opened
at O'Clock before lines OF voters be-
gan to form. Within half an hour OF
the opening, many Of the voting places
were crowded 10 the limit. Notwith-
standing the deep interest in the cleo
ton as indicated by the carly voting,
betting is declared TO have been lighter
in this city than for years past. Wall
street authorities today declared that
not over $500, 900 has been laid on the
result. At the close Of betting last
night odds were running from 2 IL to
8 in favor of Dix, with very little
money, however, at the latter figure.
One OF the greatest surprises was the
eleventh hour admission OF Mr.. Roose-
Yelt that he is not counting on ma
jority of more than %, 900 for Stimson.
Chairman Prentice, OF the republican
state committee, has been claiming
victory by over 100000.
In Brooklyn the early voting showed
a slight falling off from last year. The
Bronx, too, developed light early vote.
Cincinnati, Nov. a.-The early vote
was heavy. Indications are that Gov

Cleveland, O., Nov. County
Recorder Maurice Maschke, recognized

Cincinnati, Nov. s.-The Times Star
comedies the election OF
Pr se,utor Hunt, and that Governor
Harmon will carry Hamilton County
by a larger vote than he had two years
ago. The Times Star is owned by

dent.
Pennsylvania
Philadelphia, Nov. S.-Republican
