we're about to catch the early morning
folk.
Another factor that helped In tiS
morning vote was the small group OF
men who left home for a holiday, ow-
Ing to the little storm. The Orange
contests have been progressing with an
absence Of friction, but both sides are
hustling their vote out In splendid
fashion. About the only vote that
could be cleaned was that on the board
of freeholders and the civil Bervice plan
for the county. The latter seems popu-
lar and the reduction of the county
board will probably get a fair majority
in Orange.
DIR. Woodrow Wilson appeared to be
getting more ballots thai hie opponent.
Mayor Arthur q. Seymour, Democrat.
and Colonel Austen Colgate, his oppo-
nent, are having a close contest, with
both sides claiming victory. The ward
contests for councilmen are also ex-
citing and the leaders are In doubt as

stiff effort to return to Office, and
that fight has aroused ON attention.
The Assembly ticket Of the Demo-
cratic party seems to get a preference,
by expressions Of voters.
Henry B. Vaughn, Of Reynolds ter
race, Orange, who had another difficulty
with the election officers Of the third

which resulted in his arrest and fur
nishing OF 81, 900 bail on q technical
charge, had his usual "fy'' this morn
ing with the board, and hurried to
Justice Joseph p. Bray for word as to
his rights in the premises. Mr.. Vaughn,
who Is rated a millionaire, started for
the ballot-boy, folding his ticket as he
travelled.
Here" said one Of the election #
hcers, you must prepare your ballot
inside the booth"
Mr.. Vaughn promptly affirmed he
would do nothing of the sort, but would
prepare his ballot where he stood.
When he sought to vote he was not
permitted to do so. and. In anger, had
his chauffeur take him to the Orange
police station.
Judge Bray gave him no comfort,
said the election officers were clearly
obeying the law when they directed
MI. Vaughn to prepare his ballot in
side the secret booth. He left court
and said he would pass up the vote.
His other row was on primary day
three years ago, according to the police.
and his coachInan went on his bond
following his arrest for putting his bal
lot in the box, declining to await the
OF an election inspector who had
outside. There was no sequel
to the arrest. however. The case was
not prosecuted.
In West Orange the voters had diff
Guilty in the first district of the First
ward. and in the single polling place in
the Third ward. The machinery OF the
ballot-boxes did not work properly. and
there was delay until Town Clerk Jo-
seph McDonough had the machinery
repaired. Save for an apparent senti-
ment favoring DIR. s. A. Muta over l..

other Oranges the voting for gov
was apparently favoring DR.. Will
as against Vivian M. Lewis.
