Harry s. Fischer. the Transit Com.
missions statistician. showed that tho
net corporate income earned By the
receiver for tho Manhattan surface svs-
tenn the last ten months was si3e.-
53S.25. ~ against a deficit last year OF
S3s4,l5l.es. However. had the receiver
paid all fixed charges and obligations
OF the company existing prior TO his
taking possession there would have
been a defcit Of si,7O3.s6i.75 for the
period. But this, according 20 Mr.
Fischer, would have been s505.e43.36
smaller than the corresponding deficit
Of year ago.
Passenger revenue for the 1922 ten
months amounted TO $7.02S.999.43. Mr..
Fischer said. as against s7.00l .093s4
in 1921, a gain OF s27.905..e. Operat-

suit Is in Doubt.

Newark. n. j., Nov. With re-
turns from all parts Of the state
dragging slowly in, indications at
II o'clock tonight were that the
results in New Jerseys senatorial

be extremely close. At that hour,
representatives Of none Of the con-
didates would hazard a confident
estimate Of the final result.
Only 223 of the states 2,46i ell
ection districts had tabulated their
votes by that time. These gave
Senator Frelinghuysen, republican,
20.915. and Governor Edwards,
democrat. 31,263, in the fight for
the senatorial toge. For governor,
the same districts gave Runyan,
republican. 2I515;; and Sisler,
democrat. 30.A42.
At midnight returns from 1872
districts out of 2.4G4 in the state
gave Edwards 1O9.654 and Ere

DEMOCRATS SEE
c. D. P. REBUKEO
BY ELECTORATE
Prediction of a Great Party
Victory Made Monday Is
Being Verified by the
Election Returns.

Washington, Nov. "a state
ment issued at IL o'clock tonight
from democratic national commit
tee headquarters in the name of
Chairman Cordell Hull. reclared
that "the prediction of a great
democratic victory made last Mon
day in a statement from democrat
ic national headquarters is being
verified by the returns from all
sections of the country which have
been heard from at this hour"
"The wonderful victory won by
Governor Smith and Senator Cope
land in New York" the statement
continued, will only vary in de-
gree, according to early reports re-
ceived at democratic national head
quarters.
General dissatisfaction with the
republican administration and
the republican congress is clearly
indicated in the returns received
up to this hour.
"The early returns are from the
east and the middle west where
democratic candidates generally
are leading and if these leads are
maintained not only will these sec
tions record a victory, but give
promise of a nation wide revolt
against the republican party with
a restoration of the democratic
party to power so far as it can be
accomplished at this election. The
republican party has failed the
country utterly, and every indica-
tion at this hour is that the people
have decided to return to the party
of performance, progress and pros
perity."

something under one-fifth of an
acre. AT this rate, an acre Of

acre would have yielded $400. The
potatoes are of the Porto Ricon va
