SAT- CRACKED
IN ROBBER|E5
Thieves Get 5000 in Office Rob-
berry Here

Two more robberies were pulled
eff in this city last night or early this
morning. In one case safe was
cleaned out, cash and thrift stamps
valued at $500 were taken, and in
the other robbery little clothing was
taken.
The Adriatic Steamship Company
at 228 Smith street was entered by
cutting the screen off and raising the
window in the rear. Once inside the
culprit located the safe, opened the
back door of the store and pushed
the safe out into the yard. This safe
was worked on in the same fashion
as the Majestic theatre case some
time ago. A hole was bored and a
bar did the remainder of the work.
Mr.. Balini, the owner of the bust
ness house, stated that $40 in cash
and from $500 to S400 in thrift
stamps was taken.
This place was visited by robbers
in the past but nothing of much
value was taken and the thief was
apprehended.
The other robbery took place in
the tailor establishment of Chris
topherson & Sons on Maple street.
Entrance was gained through a win
dow leading from an alley on Jeffer-
son street A window was broken and
the culprit reached in and unlocked
the door An unfinished overcoat, a
sack coat and pieces of cloth are the
only articles reported missing, and
the reason for this robbery cannot
be ascertained.
Detectives Huff and Long have
been assigned to these cases.

Massachusetts Supports Fear
Tess Governor by Big Vote

All complete returns today on the
"off year" election yesterday in sew
eral states did not change the out
come in any respect. c. Coolidge,
Republican, Massachusetts, being
elected to succeed himself as COVER
nor by the largest vote ever polled by
the gubernatorial candidate in that
state, shared honors with an almost
equally decisive dry" victory in
Ohio, as the most striking result Of
the election.
Maryland, the only other state in
which there was a serious contest for
governorship. was still in doubt.
Richard H. Long, defeated Demo
cratic candidate, had appealed to the
labor vote, while Governor Coolidge
stood squarely on his record in deal
ing with the Boston police strike and
polled up plurality of almost 1885,
900 votes.
In New Jersey Edward I. Edwards,
Democrat, running on a wet" plat
form, had an apparently safe lead of
almost 10000 over Newton A. K.
Bugbee Republican, but the legisla-
ture will be Republican by a narrow
margin.
Governor James D. Black. Demo-
crat, for reelection in Kentucky
where Edward E. Morrow. his Re-
publican opponent, was credited to-
day with q plurality approaching 30,-
600, probably will be more discussed
than any other state by party man
ayers, who have their eyes fixed on
next years campaign.
Republicans will control the lower
House of the Kentucky legislature,
while Democrats will control the SEN
ate.
Lee M. Russell, Democrat, was
elected governor of Mississippi by a
good majority. He was opposed by a
socialist who polled about 10000.
The legislature will be decidedly DEM
ocratic.
OF national interest in the New
York result was the election of The
odore Roosevelt to seat in the as
sembly. He scored a sweeping vic
tory over Elias Raft his Democratic
opponent, also a veteran Of the world
war.

BOSTON, Nov. 5.-Governor Calvin

The revised vote of the state COM

Longs lead of 19,909 in Boston last
year was cut to 5, 149 yesterday.
In his campaign Long appealed par
ticularly to the labor vote, on the
ground that Governor Coolidge had
shown hostility to organized labor in
denouncing the striking Boston po-
licemen as deserters.

an, both local Democratic Assembly
candidates, were first and second re-
spectively, in this city. Wight polled
1921 votes and Toolan 275S. Fred
w. DeVoe, the other Democratic can
didate, was third here with 2454 while
the Republican candidates lined up as
follows: Albert w. Appleby, 2414; G.
Raymond Lyons, 2103; Charles E.
Tindell, 1947.
Alfred Kerr, Democratic candidate
for freeholder, ran high in this city,
he polling 2,540 votes. Edward E.
Clark, Kerrs running mate, was Sec
ond in Amboy with 2,499; Clarence
NJ. Haight, Republican, polling 2,470
and Louis J. Belloff, also Republican,
2,2O8.
The small margin of three votes
was all that separated the two candi-
dates for alderman-at- t-Iarge, John N.
Wester, Republican, winning from
William voorhees,. The vote was
2505 to 2502. Wester's big vote came
as a surprise to many in the city who
conceded the election to voorhees,
and were of the opinion that the sec
ond ward contest between Albert G..
Waters, Democrat, and Frank Took
err Republican, would be the closest
and the one to decide which party
should control the city. Wester car
ried eleven of the city's seventeen dis
tricts, getting all four polls in the
first ward, all four In the fourth, one
in the third, and two in the sixth
Voorhees, carried both polls in the
second and fifth wards and also one

Republicans retain their control of
the Board of Aldermen here as the re-
suit of yesterdays election in which
John N. Wester, Republican, was
elected by three votes majority over
William Voorhees, Democrat, to sue
ceed Ira r. Grouse, Republican; AL
bert Waters, Democrat; Christian An
dersen, Republican, and Benjamin A.
Riedy, Republican. were reelected to
serve as City Fathers in the second
fourth and sixth wards respectively.
Owing to the fact that Wester de-
feated Voorhees, by but three votes
and that Wester's election placed the
Republicans in control Of the city,
there is all likelihood that recount
will be demanded by the Democrats.
When questioned as to the possibility
of a recount, Mayor Frank Dorsey
this morning, said that he could not
say anything definitely as yet. but de-
clared there was a possibility of such
action being taken.
Bugbee was defeated IN Perth
Amboy by sixtytwo votes,
having nine out of the seven
teen districts here in his favor. He
carried all of the first ward, one poll
in the second, one in the third, one
in the fourth, none in the fifth and
two in the sixth. Edwads carried
both polls of the fifth ward.
Hilker, who was defeated in Perth
Amboy by 971 votes, failed to carry
his own ward, the third, he losing out
in the first district of this ward by one
vote, in the second by sixty votes. The
only poll in Perth Amboy annexed by
Hilker was the third poll of the fourth
ward where he received 142 votes as
compared with Gannon's 108.

crat in the Assembly, with a Demo-
crat in power whereas last year Mid

blymen with a Republican governor
in Power.
Early reports showed Edwards
leading in Middlesex county and the
majorities given him in Perth Am
boy and New Brunswick were expect
ed to be sufficient to allow him to
carry the county, but reports from
the smaller townships and boroughs
scattered throughout the county
opposed the wet issue of Edwards
and finally were sufficient to give
Bugbee the decision by over 800.
What Cannon Says
County Clerk b. M. Cannon today
expressed his gratitude and apprecia-
ton to the people of this city and
county who supported him for re-
election in the election of yesterday
and made it possible for him to con-
tinue his duties as clerk of MIDI lesex
county. Mr.. Cannon is very grateful
for the support given him in his
home city, where he ran against a
strong opponent and won every ward
and all but one poll. In view of the
fact that the returns Of the city cleo
ton are not official as yet he stated
that it was impossible for him to say
what action might be taken toward
a recount of the alderman at-large
ballots, for by the time the official
count is completed the balance OF
votes FOR Mr.. Wester is so small that
they may be upset when the returns
are officially tabulated.
