PRoHIeITioN MAJORITY
 IN OHIO PLACED AT 75,ooo

Columbus, Ohio. Nov 4.-On the basis of partial returns from more than half of the state. Secretary of State Smith at midnight predicted that Ohio today had voted dry on all four of the prohibition proposals sub mitted by majorities of approximately 75,000.
 Last year Ohio voted dry by about 25.000.
 Indications were that the proposed amendment providing for. classified tion of property for taxation had been defeated.
 In several of the rural counties, the drys were reported to have gained fromfS to 25 votes to the precinct. However, in Cleveland the vets were claiming to have carried the county by from 23,008 to 34 900. In Cincinnati the vets were claim ing majorities on the different prohi- bition proposals ranging from 51,O0O to 56,000.
 Returns were slow in coming in and in the event of close vote it was feared that it might be several days | before the definite result would be- come known.
 At 1915 o'clock tonight the Ohio Taxpayers League. which backed the campaign for the classification amend ment conceded the defeat of the amendment by 100000 more votes.

NEW YORK HOTELS FEEL
 THE PINCH OF PROHIBITION

New York;. Nov. 1.-The pinch of prohibition is making itself felt in no uncertain terms on the hotel business in New York. According to reports today from many of the city's leading hostelries the number of vacant rooms in places that hitherto were crowded to capacity has increased steadily since the dry wave hit town. and hardly big hotel in the city has any thing like the number of patrons reg istered during the wet days.
 The falling off in patronage was a distinct disappointment to hotel men, who had been hoping that their room business would continue to flourish in spite of the drought.
 ) Much of the old time life has van ished from the halls and corridors of the hotels with the coming of the dry spell. Fewer visitors are seen in the Hobbies, and the bell-hops sit idly along the wall waiting for calls that rarely come. No longer do boys in brass buttons rush through the halls carrying trays of drinks Last night they were kept busy rushing extra bed clothing tos patrons who found the cfi- mate chilly, but the days when warmth was obtained internally as I well as other ways are at an end and with them have gone one of tho bell boys principal sources of income.

 The districts counted were chiefly in the southern part of the state which is normally republican and only scat tering returns had been received from Hudson and Essex counties, the denI- ocratic strongholds.
 Only scattering returns had been re- ceived from the legislative election, fn which as in the gubernatorial con test, the democrats were supported by the vets and the republicans by the "drys.' Indications were that the democratic assembly ticket had car ried the city of Newark.
 The republican leaders asserted stoutly that Bugbee would carry tn, state by 1000 but Edwards canpaigl l managers were equally insistent tha
