New York, March 22.--The Financier
says today:
Despite the fact that the New York
clearing house banks decreased their cash
hoi.ings 900 during the week, re-
flecting the loss Of gold exports, the In
stitutes increased their surplus reserve by
81, ,31S, $50, and reported an excess above
the 25 per cent minimum reserve on Sat-
urady amounting to s13,556,2 300
This strengthening of position was
brought about by the familiar opera
tion of decreasing loan commitments,
the shrinkage in that item for the week
having been $35,550,000.
1t is quite probable in view of the
prevailing rates. however, that outside
institutions are lending literally in this
market as the trust companies of New
York also reported for the week a
shrinkage of s14,553200 in their loans
The decrease In loans was reflected
directly in the shrinkage of $36,445,O 900
in deposits. This lessened reserve re-
qurements by something over $4,000
900 so that not only was the loss in
cash counteracted. but surplus rose in
the amount just cited. Considering the
continued loss of gold through exports,
the associated banks are in a remark
ably strong position. They hold $780,
900, 900 less cash than reported the first
week in February, but their surplus
reserve Is to be considered as normal
for this season. The flow of cash at
present is from the interior in the d.
rection of New York. In view of the
conflicting factors in the way of in
terror needs for money and the strain
on New York banks by reason of the
gold export demand. the future of the
money market over the next month or
so affords an interesting problem.

ARREST ON HEELS
OF A CONFESSION
Warrants for Two Jersey City
G. O. P. Leaders on Election
Judges Statement.

JERSEY CITY, Oct. 28.-Bench
warrants were issued yesterday by
County Judge George G. Tenant for
the arrest of Leon C. Hart and
Ernest F. Erxmeyer on the charge of
aiding and abetting the preparation
of false returns from the primary
election in the Third District of the
First Ward, Hoboken. Both men are
Republican county committeeman
from the Third Ward, Hoboken, and
their arrest was sought following a
confession made Sunday by Arthur
Reich, judge of election, from the
district, who is under indictment for
classifying the returns and for con-
spring with the other members of
the board to violate the election law.
Reich declared that Hart mad called
him outside the polling place and told
him to put over as many votes, as ne
could for Stokes and Rotterdam. CIV
ing Carey and Decker, a few. Just to
make it look good, Erxmeyer it is
alleged was present when Alexander
T. kittredge, Democratic county COM
mitteeman from the district, took con-
troll of the counting of the ballots
after the polls closed primary night.
Erxmeyer was arrested yesterday
by Detective Thomas Mcdonald,
of the prosecutors staff, and on being
brought before Judge Tenant plead
not guilty and was released on $500
bail furnished by his father. Harlan
Besson, counsel for Kittredge, told
the prosecutor that Hart would be in
court today to plead not guilty
and waive examination. He will
also give $500 bail. Hart is en-
ployed in Harrison, but when Detec-
tive Mcdonald went there Hart had
gone to Hoboken

st candidate the Democrats of Pat

est candidate the Democrats of Pat
erson have ever had.
1t is probable that some of the reg
ular Republicans who for years have
held such a tight grip IN affairs in
the country court house will lose out
this year. Seven freeholders are to
be elected. All sides are willing to
admit the ticket will be a mixed one
and the predictions vary widely.
Due to the fact that the Progress
sives have a strong Assembly ticket
in the field the likelihood Is that Pas
sale county will send Democratic
delegation to the Legislature this
year. The Democrats expect to send
at least four of their Ave candidates
to Trenton.
Considerable pressure has been
brought to bear in the Democratic
ranks to defeat John r. Nolan, one of
the Democratic candidates for Assem-
bly,. Because of his attitude in last
years election in openly supporting
a Republican, he has incurred the dis
pleasure of hundreds in the Demo-
cratic party. The Democratic County
Committee, it is said, does not take
kindly to his candidacy and will give
him little support.

Stokes Apparently Sure
of Majority in Passaic
rsnecIaI TO tho Newark start


PATERSON, Oct. 2S.-According to
local predictions, Passaic county will
give Edward Casper Stokes a sub
stantial majority at the election
next week. This Is practically ad-
mitted by some of the most promi-
nent Democrats in the county Esti-
mates as to the majority Stokes will
get range from 1900 to 1900. The
latter figure Is the normal Republican
majority, although this figure was
nearly doubled in the gubernatorial
campaign three years ago. This is
accounted for by the fact that Pas
sale county is the home county of
Vivian M. Lewis, Woodrow Wilson's
opponent.
Next in the line of Importance In
this county is the election of a mayor
in this city. The Democrats have
Robert Roe as their candidate His
regular Republican opponent is
Robert F'ordyce. James G.. Blauvelt
will represent the Progressives in this
contest, and recently Edward Mohrle
got in the race as an Independent
Democrat.
Indications point strongly to the
election of Fordyce by a small ma
jority. Roe, it is said, is regarded by
some in his own party as a weak cam
Mohrle in the race his election was
conceded on all sides. 1t was argued
that Blauvelt would pull enough votes
away from the regular Republican for
Roe to win. With Mohrle in the race,
Democrats fear he will offset enough
of the Blauvelt vote to let Fordyce
slip through.
Besides the vote the Independent
candidate will pull away from the
| regular Democrat, the Democrats
have the Socialist problem to contend
with. The recent silk strike here ap-
| parently has made votes for the
Socialists. Last year the combined
vote of the Socialist and Socialist
Labor parties In the county was
something like 1900. Prominent
Democrats here predict that the com
| bined vote this year will be almost
doubled. Many of these votes have
been taken away from the Democratic
party. The attitude of Mayor An
drew f. Mcbride toward the silk
I strike was unfavorable to them, the
strikers believe, and as a result g.
concentrated effort has been made or
the office of mayor.
