The temperature was several degrees

which discouraged any record outpouring

And another Encouragement to that
section of the population which prefers
TO attest It's interest in politics through

that Mitchell would win by a handsome
plurality. Nevertheless. I'm front of The
Tribunes board a vast assemblage gath
cred. whose assortment of noise produc-
ing instruments could be heard in Jersey
City.
A sea Of faces upturned to watch the
figures flashed stretched from Spruce
street along Park Row until merged with
the restless throng ever TO be found about
the Brooklyn Bridge entrance. The police
kept a clear space in front OF the news

A similar crowd filed Herald Square
and faded away UP Broadway until II was
hard to say where the Herald Square
crowd stopped and the Times Square
crowd began. Here some "ticklers" were
in evidence: sidewalk vendors were openly

were reproduced. When the returns
halted moving pictures were flashed on
the screens and pictures of the candidates.
Mitchers won the most applause, with
Suffers a close second. Murphy's was
everywhere Kissed.
The only serious disturbance occurred at
103d street and Third avenue, where two
rival bands of boys were nursing bon
fires. In one of the clashes between these
two gangs, in which one tried TO steal the
others fuel, James Cleary, sixteen years
old, of No. 1896 Second avenue. a telegraph
messenger boy. was shot in the groin.
