New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1912-10-28


York County, together with the canVasses
received from the other boroughs' snow,
as above stated, that neither wilson nor
Sulzer will receive a plurality OF O,OU
In greater New York.
County Chairman Koenig issued his
statement after receiving reports from
leaders as to the results Of preliminary
election district canvasses, which, he
said, indicated that the vote In New YORK
County would be evenly split both on
the national and the state tickets
Mr.. Koenig's statement was as follows
According TO the figures received. Presi-
dent Taft will run slightly ahead OF Mr..
Hedges Straus will of course, run ahead
of Mr.. Roosevelt, and the Democratic
ticket heads will be very close together.
Thoroughly Reliable.
The figures of the few election districts
which have 50 far been thoroushly can
yassed in New York County indicate
plurality for Wilson Of about 1000 ana
a plurality for Sulzer Of about a,lO0
These election district canvass hgures
have been taken with the utmost care
and ] believe are thoroughly reliable.
Our canvassers did not in any election
district pretend TO see all the voters-such
q proceeding would be practically an i'm
possibility.
one thing stands out in the figures and
reports which / have received, and that
IS that a large percentage Of the men
who signed the Third Term party petit
tions i'm this county are not registered
voters.
These preliminary figures, compared
carefully with the figures from the same
election districts on the 1910 vote, show
a Tammany loss of from to l21z per
cent.
AS an instance OF the actual voting
value OF the Third Term party enthusiasm
An enthusiasm which seems TO run more
toward signing petitions than signing
registration books-the following check
ing up of the Bull Moose petitions In The
18th Election District OF the 7th Assem-
bly, District are given
Number Of names signed 10 nominating
xI,vbar Of the iii not registered. ......... IS
Number OF the Ill registered .............. 80
Six of the thirty-three signers who can
vote have since reported that they slgneo
the petitions understanding that they
were Republican petitions, and that they
will vote the Republican ticket.
In a lower West Side district, the 7th
Assembly District, a poll ,6 of the 9th Eie &c
Election District. shows loss OF %
votes 10 the Democratic ticket and Re
publican gain of 30, and the balance or
the vote, including the Independence
League vote Of 16 going 70 Straus: Inc
Dix and 1G for Hopper. The total vote
cast I'm that district was 1896. The canvass
made this year was Of 1856 votes out OF a
total registration OF i6S and shows the
following figures: Taft, 155; Wilson, lSb;
Roosevelt 49, Ten more voters stated
whom they would vote for for Governor
and the result of the canvass was Sso out
OF 46s, divided as follows Hedges, l5i;
SulZcr, 1875, and Straus, l44
II Is an interesting commentary on the
value OF the claims of the Bull Moose
that this same district was reported by
a Bull Moose canvasseT a week ago rs
follows. Of AS out of 46S said to be can
vassed: Roosevelt, l57; Wilson, 1853; Taft.
lO5: doubtful. 90
In an East Side district where the popu-
lation is strongly Jewish. these figures,
OF course. will not hold. but the canvass
shows that Taft is leading Wilson ana
Roosevelt, while Straus is leading Sulzer
and Hedges. In one election district II
showed that Sulzer would run only 10
