One More Vote Added on the Demo-
cratic Side by Mistake In
Doors.

United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Simultan-
eous with the news from Maine came
today the announcement from demo-
cratic national headquarters that the
committee has closed contract for a
special combination club car for the
use of Governor Wilson from now I'M
that the car would be held on side
track at Sea Girt, when not in use,
it was also declared at headquarters
that it was not expected it would be
idle very much longer.
The governor left in his car at
1910 today for Atlantic City where
tonight he will address the United
Spanish-American war veterans. He
expressed himself as well pleased with
his reception during his stay in New
York, characterizing the various meet
ings as wonderful He was telling
with appreciation as he started for his
train of an incident that pleased him
earlier. With Acting Chairman Nc
Adoo he had gone to the top of the
Fifth avenue building where his head
quarters are located for chat, away
from the crowds. Coming down, the
two inadvertently entered an express
elevator which made no stop at the
fifth floor headquarters. Before it
started McAdoo saw the mistake and
told the governor to get out and the
reason. Before the candidate could
move the elevator operator broke in:
There is one man in this car for
whom the elevator will stop any
where"
He started downward, and, reach
ing the fifth floor told Wilson that he
hoped to vote for him and believed
he would be elected.
well, just had to delay traffic
while we shook hands on that hope, .
was the way Wilson expressed it.
