NO ELECTION EXCITEMENT
VISIBLE AT WHITE HOUSE
Most of Employees, However, Willing
to Risk Their Cash on
President Wilson.

The White House today showed little
signs of election excitement. There was
much speculation among the employees and
police force assigned to the offices and
grounds. The majority of employees are
steadfast in their belief that the President
will be reelected and several of them
have backed their opinions with small
sums of money. One man, who has taken
may straw. votes of strangers passing
through the White House and grounds.
and who declares that this vote shows
that Wilson will win. has put up all the
cash he had at the prevailing odds.
One young man attached to the White
House was understood to have been
commissioned by leading New York
democrat to put as high as $4,000 on
the President if there were Washington
men desirous of covering the money. A
wealthy Washingtonian who has bet
much money on Hughes and has more
to bet was sought by the White House
man. but the two had not yet met this
afternoon.
One of the telegraph operators in the
telegraph room of the White House will
receive the returns tomorrow night for
the benefit of employees, but no Invita-
tion has been extended to cabinet Off
GERS or others to be present. Officials
of the administration may drop in dur
ing the evening, but this is not ex-
pected. 1t will be mighty quiet cleo

price of coal will be under the formal
investigation of both the Kings and
Queens counties district attorneys be

subject secured by agents of the De

in New York only and was disclosed
through the demand upon retailers for
extraordinary high prices by operators
who had coal in storage within the

Because the coal affected has already
been brought into the state, the federal

cation and If any conspiracy of an in.
