ELECTION BETTING
BRISK HERE TODAY
Several Freak Bets Made
Patten-HiIker Contest is
Most Interesting.

Election betting was brisk through
out the city today. The main subject
OF conversation in all sections was
wagering on the various candidates.
These bets included all kinds of odds
and wagers. some freak bets entering
the contest, which. il carried out, will
make an amusing spectacle.
The betting on the Hilker- Patten
race in the third ward was the most
In evidence. Odds of two to one on
Hilker topped the list, but large
number of wagers were placed at
five to three, five to four, and at
even money. 1t was reported that one
wager of $500 on Hilker was awaiting
takers with none in evidence.
There was likewise considerable
betting on the race for surrogate. A
pool was formed this morning. to take
an even money bet on Spencer to de-
feat Clayton, the present incumbent.
During the early afternoon a Clayton
pool was being formed to cover the
bet, which was likewise for $500.
The general theme on the mayoral-
ity Is that betting on the winner is
poor business, as no bettors could be
found who had placed anything but
even money on the candidates.
Several bets were made last night,
during the progress of an automobile
parade in Keasbey. These were large

the innumerable family of Smiths
made proposition that he would
wheel friend one mile and a half up

will be wheeled an equal distance down

CHILD, MATCHES;
BLAZE; FIRE DEPT.
$500 Damage Done to Building
at 70 and 172 South
First St. Today.

A three-year- child playing with
matches started a fire at 1885 o'clock
this morning that did about $500 to
the building at 10 and 172 South
First street. The child was playing
near a clothes closet in the apart
ment occupied by Joseph Larkin
when the flames shot out and caught
the woodwork of the hallway and the
closet.
The child was rescued by Joseph
Arnheim of 316 Market street, who was
in the neighborhood at the time. He
and another young man rushed into
the house and through the smoke filled
hallway. They found the baby who
had started the fire sitting, badly
frightened and choking from the
smoke. Arnheim grasped the child
and carried her downstairs and out of
doors. He and his companion then re-
entered the house, and with firemen,
rescued great deal of the furniture
and clothing which were in danger.
Dense volumes of smoke were
pouring from the apartment when
the f1remen arrived in response to the
call from box 27 at Paterson street
and Madison avenue. Lines of hose
were Immediately put into play, and
In short time the fire had been sub
dued. The walls and the woodwork
of the dining room, the hall and
closet were badly damaged and the
water covered the floor, pouring
through the floor to the apartment Of
William J. Doyle below.
The damage was estimated at 5000
on the furniture of the apartment
and like amount on the house. An
other estimate of 500 was placed on
the damage done to adjacent apart
ments by water.
The fire was the usual election day
one, coming little early in the day.
Predictions that there would be a fire
before midnight were frequent among
hremen of the city, and If none de-
velops later In the day or night they
Will consider this mornings blaze as
filling the prediction
At this mornings blaze Alderman
William Q. Wilson, candidate for re-,
election on the Republican ticket,
and Victor Satter, the Democratic
nominee, worked at opposite ends of
the scene. They are both members
OF the same company so that no
horseplay resulted, as was expected.

MEANS CONTROL OF q
Reports of Heavy Vote Re-
celved from State and the
Country.

Importance of the election coupled
with ideal weather conditions brought
out many voters at early hours today.
Campaign work was brought to a
close and every side utilized its best
eHorts 10 muster in every available
vote. The results will not be known
until count Is taken tonight Indi-
cations were that Perth Amboy vot-
ers would divide their choice be-
tween Democrats and Republicans.
IL was claimed that a close race was
on between the gubernatorial candi-
dates, that Joseph S. Frelinghuysen
would poll greater vote than Sena-
tor MARITIME, that Scully would be
overwhelmingly supported through
out this district, that there would be
close sailing among the six assembly
candidates, and that Surrogate Clay
Ton would have an easy time beating
William A. Spencer.
The national race was looked upon
as an exceedingly close one as odds
IN betting frightened today. Givers of
ODDS on Republican Candidate
Charles E. Hughes vanished and ex-
cept In rare instances the betting was
even. 1t was concluded that the
West would go solidly for President
Wilson. Hughes was looked upon to
carry the upper parts of New York
state, but Wilson supporters hoped
that the Presidents majority in
metropolis would be sufficient to off,
set any great support for Hughes.
New Jersey, hailed as one of the
doubtful states of late, was today
looked upon as winner for Wilson.
There appeared to be warm con-
tests in this city. Former Alderman
at-large w. Guy Weaver and former
Assemblyman John F. Ten Broeck
appeared to be running neck and
neck in the mayoralty race. The re-
election of Alderman William c. Will
son in the first ward and John J.
Clark in the fifth ward were declared
to be a certainty. Leading Republi-
cans said Alderman F. William HiIk-
er was sure winner In the warm
race for the aldermanic position in
the third ward. The more eonserva-
tive ones said Hilker would be re-
elected by majority of from 100 to
l25. Democratic leaders predicted
Thomas Patterns election by a ma
5oriin of about 100 votes.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.

New York, Nov. 7.-Republican
Candidate Charles E. Hughes, voted
ballot No. 13, at 1903 this morning, in
the Victoria laundry voting booth, on
Eighth avenue, between Forty fourth
and Forty-ffth streets. He arose at
5:45, took an hour to dress, and left
the Astor hotel with Carl d. SHEPPARD,
his publicity agent, and two detectives
about $3.50. Mr.. Hughes walked three
blocks to the voting booth and re-
turned.
Only few stragglers and flock of
moving picture operators and news
paper men were on hand when he
went into the dingy little Eighth ave-
nue. building. Mr.. Hughes nodded to
several policemen and attendants as
he entered and went past counters
piled high with soiled shirts and other
linens. There were five booths which
had been partitioned off with sheets
which obviously had been borrowed
from the Victoria chenille.
The Republican candidate stepped
Into the first one and there he voted
the straight ticket. The sun had not
come out strong as Hughes stepped
from the booth and the room looked
mighty dingy. 1t was hardly large
enough for a man to change his mind
In, but that didn't stop a dozen cam
era and moving picture men from jam
ming themselves III. Mr.. Hughes saw
he was outnumbered SO he stood smil-
ing and choaking as click after click
of cameras were heard through the
gaseous haze produced by flashlight
explosions.
The smoke attracted a large crowd
who followed Hughes back to the hotel.
