Englanders will be commissioned
November q, when the three months,

A total Of S04 men will receive com

active service beginning December
l5 Many will be sent to France. In
addition, 141 men will be designated
second lieutenants. They will be at
tached to different regiments until
vacancies actually occur
Thus, with approximately 1000 men
at Plattsburg, scarcely so per cent OF
the men will receive commissions. The
balance, a large majority of whom
have been certified by their officers
as capable of assuming commands,
will be placed on the reserve lists to
await call to services as vacancies oc
cur. This is due to a new policy
which has been adopted by the war
department but which is still to be
announced. The policy, which is ex
pected by department officials them
selves to result in many complaints,
will make possible the commissioning
at the present time of only half Of
the men actually recommended for
commissions.

TRueTEEs MEETING
Finances in Good Shape but Economy
Is Necessary.

The village trustees held their
regular monthly meeting last even
ing. President A. w. Braisted oc-
cupied the chair and Trustees Nash,
McGurn, Morrissey, Wills, Burt and
Harbour were present. q.
Clerk Hogan brought before the
meeting the proposal that some ar.
Tangement be made whereby the fire
trucks could be used in cases of fires
outside the corporation limits and the
plan was discussed at some length.
Inasmuch as Chairman North of the
fire committee was not present 1t was
decided to refer the matter to the
committee with instructions to con-
fer with the engineers and report at
the next meeting.
The clerk also made financial re-
port to date showing that 1t would
be necessary for the village to keep
down expenditures during the remain
ing months of the village year
Through an act OF the recent legisla-
ture the village loses $2500 formerly
received from licenses and there has
been no corresponding reduction in
fixed charges. Considering the in
creased cost of labor the members OF
the board feel that the affairs Of the
village have been conducted economi-
cally.
1t was voted that the street com.
mittee arrange with James F. Hogan
for the lease of the siding at his
stable on West Main street.
1t was voted that the matter OF fur.
nishing grades upon request be left
with the clerk. The clerk was in
siructed to draw his orders for the
folInwjuu hills.

The vote was light, but at that the
Governor made tremendous gains
Mansfield had majority of less than

Three amendments to the Constitu-

Along with Mr.. Hylan the entire

With 1875 election districts heard

For Comptroller, Charles l.. Craig,

in the race between Alfred f.. Smith,
Democrat and Robert Adamson, Flu
sion, for President of the Board of
Aldermen.
With las election districts report
ed, Craig is given 257,S20 and Prender
CAST 10000.
This Democratic victory will give
Mr. Hylan the entire Board of EST
mate
Mayor Mitchell is running neck and
neck with Norris Hillquit, Socialist
for second place About $4,000 votes
seperate the two.
So crushing is Mitchel's defeat that
even if he receives the entire soldier
vote he cannot win.
Senator William NJ. Bennett, Re
publican, is bad fourth.
Hillquit drew from Republicans
heavily in Brooklyn, the Bronx and
Manhattan. The 1916 Hughes vote
in Brooklyn was 1882, Against
this Hillquit received 40,439. Mitchell,
449O7, and Bennett, 24,64O, with the
returns at hand.
Mr.. Hughes got 4O.194 votes in the
Bronx, Hillquit received 27,439.
Mitchell, 1906 and Bennett, 4,S31.
In Manhattan Hughes ran 1887.
OF this Vote Mitchell gets 59,931, Hill
quit 43,997, and Bennett 11,216
The Socialist votes as credited to
Charles Edward Russell in 1913 was
$4,000.
Throughout the various boroughs
the regular Democratic candidates for
the various Offices are running about
2 to / over Fusion.
Fusion candidates on the city and
borough tickets ran far ahead OF
Mitchell because of their positions on
both the Fusion and regular Repub-
llcan tickets. The rates of the Demo
cratic lead over Fusion Republicans
is to 2.
District-Attorney Edward Swami
won easily over Magistrate Joseph
eorrigan, Independent Democrat, and
Judge William l.. Ransom, Fusion
nominee. Mr.. Swann's indicated ma
jority late last night was $4,000.
The Democratic sweep of the city
vas no surprise to politicians. Mayor
Mitchel's campaign began to crumble
last week. His position in the pres
ent race depends largely upon the
number of votes he polls in Manhat
tan. where he is strongest in his race
against Hillquit.
In the Bronx Hillquit tops Mitchell
bv a good majority In Queens the
two apparently ran neck and neck
