Granite itself was isolated. Hundreds
of mechanics were at work renairing
the various lines of broken wire and
replacing oVerthrown. poles. But the
work had not yet sufficiently pro-
crossed to allow the full transmission
of election returns from the upstate
counties.
Train service remained .unimpaired,
save for an occasional broken trestle
one or two of the minor branches
of the G. G. & x. And since nightfall
some of the returns had been brought
to Granite by rail, but these merely
proved the closeness of the conflict,
and gave no true-hint as to the actual
outcome. The Granite vote was all
in, hours ago. From the slums and
the dark places of the city's under
world the long-trained servants of the
Machine had swarmed to the polls,
overwhelming all opposition from the
smaller and more respectable element,
and had carried Granite unanimously
for Conover.
