First district, 12th ward—Hughes 159,

PLURALITY OfTkMMO
IS CLAIMED FOR HEARST.
New York. Nov. 8.—At 2:30 o'clock it
seems certain that the vote for Hearst
In Greater New York would exceed
the vote polled by COIer In 1903 by
at least 30,000. Coler's plurality In
that year was 123,000. Hearst seems
certain to get 160,000.
The Democrats of Greater New
York during the early part of the day
rolled up an unprecedentedly large
vote for Hearst.
From all sections of the city came
the same reports.
Hearst Men Enthusiastic.
The Hearst men were enthusiastic
aad voting and working solidly tor the
people's candidate. As nearly as could
be ascertained, the number of split
tickets was small.
The tremendous vote In Brooklyn
hud been half cast by noon. This Is
almost without parallel. The watchers
and political managers at the polls re
ported that of this Immense vote
Hearst was getting 3. 4 nnd even 6 to
1 for Hughes.
Tammany for Hsarst.
Tammany Hall Is rolling up a rec
ord-breaking vats for Hearst In Man
hattan and the Bronx. It was a clean
sweep from Westchester to. the Bat
tery.
By noon tills side of the Brooklyn
bridge and across the Harlem river
hutf the great vote had also been
polled.
Again It was a ratio of 3, 4 and 5 to
1 for Hearst. m
Labor Vots for Hsarst.
Indications at noon were. that
Hears!'* plurality would he more than
200,006, which the Independence
League managers had forecasted from
their esnvasses.
Reports from Buffalo, Rochester,
Syracuse, Utica, Watertown, Oswego
and Ogdensburg were all of the same
sort—an' eosy,1ieavy vote for Hearst.
The labor vote stood by Hearst sol
idly. The factory workers, the work
ers In the shops, and they went to
the polle before they went to their
work. They took no rhance of their
votes top Hearst being stolen from
them.
Voting Done Orderly.
In.spite.of the fact that the voters
crowded the polling places, so heavy
was the vote, there was the utmost
quiet and orderliness. In this respect
also the elertlon was remarkable. A
number of arrests had been made up
to noon, but In early Instances these
were for technical Illegalities of regis
tration.
All the ‘‘fake” betting stopped to
day. There were no more "washed"
transfers of money at fancy odds.
There came generally, when It-was
learned how heavy the early vote was.

FISH LOSES CONTROL
OF ILLINOIS CENTRAL
TO WIZARD HARRIMAN
New York, Nov. 8.—The Illinois Cen
tral election Is all over but the shout
ing. When the directors meet Wednes
day they will depose Stuyvesant Fish,
president for the.past nineteen years,
and In all probability will elect J. T.
Hnrrlman, who. tn 1890. was made sac-
ond vice president of the company
through Mr. Fish's Influence, and since
then has held that position.
Neither Mr. Fish nor Mr. Harrlman
would dlacues the contest today, hut
Mr. Harrlman'# friends clulm that Mr.
Fish's supporters have conceded the
election of Harrlinon's candidate by u
vote of 8 to 4. This Is the alignment
of forces:
How They Lins Up.
For Hurrlman's candidate—John W.
Auchlncloss, FI H. Harrlman. Charles
E. Peabody, R. W. Qoelet, Walter Lutt-
gen, Cornelius Vanderbilt, John Jacob
Aator and J. T. Harahan. . .
For Mr. Fish—Charles it., Bescli.
James DeW. Cutting, Charles' I. De-
neen, governor of Illinois, and ex-of-
fleto member of the board, and Mr. Fish
himself.
May Oust Other Men.
John C, Wallings, first vice president
of the-company. Is a loyal Fish sup
porter, but Is seriously lll.ln Chicago.
Hls place also can be. filled by the Har
rlman forces. They have It In their
power fis well |o choose a successor to
the second vice president, third vice
president and secretary find treasurer.
Just whet the controlling party has
decided upon In regard to these matters
Is not' announced, but It la considered
probable that they will leave the places
open until the regular meeting of the
directors November 21. It Is not be
lieved that many changes in the oper
ating force will be made In the near
future.
Kpeeial to The Georgina.
LaGrange. Ga., Nov. 8.—In the same
room In whleh the Southern Cotton
Association was born a few years W".
a big meeting of members of that or
ganisation, merchants and buxine--
men of LaGrnngn and prominent farm
ers of Troup county, was held la-i
night to discuss the future of the cot
ton association.
It was the consensus of opinion
among practically every one present
that one step Slone would preserve the
usefulness and Integrity of the nssoeis-
tlon and place It once more upon the
i powerful footing necessary In the es-
j teem of the whole country, and that is
the selection of Hon. Thomas E. Wat
son. of Thomsop. as tho next president.
The troubles of the association were
discussed frankly and freely. First
the exposures of speculation on the pat t
|of officers of the association an i no
way in which the offenses were con
doned. It was admitted that this had
discredited the organization In the sight
of many, and had crippled the useful
ness of the association.
Then the recent dissensions caussd
by the controversy between the presi
dent of the Cotton Association and the
president of the Farmers' Union. Alt
present felt that this matter was cal
culated to injure both organisations,
both of which nre working toward the
same end—better prices for cotton and
such co-operation among the tanners |
of the Foutli ns to completely regulate ,
the supply so as to obtain Just prices
for their product.
Next spring the Southern Cotton As
sociation will elect new officers. The ;
meeting here believed decisive steps 1
are necessary to place tho organization
once more upon Its old basis.
They believe Torn Watson Is the man
to hend the association. Hls strength..
hls Integrity, hls unquestioned honesty
and hls profound Interest In the farm - ,
, ere especially (It hint for the place.
lleeolutlons wero passed Indorsing ■
Mr. Watson for the position of next !
t president of the FoUthorn Cotton As - I
soclatlon. If lie can be persuaded t., •
occept the place this movement stnrt-l
tng In LaGrange Is likely to grow and
spread to all parts of the South.
“SUICIDE FOR ME;"
DECLARES COHEN
BEFORE COUNCIL
"There's nothing Isft for me hut
cldsl”
This was the dramatic staten
made by P. Cohen, saloonkeeper at «S
Decatur street, before the city council
Tuesday ufternoon. He was pleading
for a license to conduct his saloon.
"When the rent collector comes round
I shall be ruined If I can't keep open.
I have Invested $7,001) In my place. I
shall starve."
Council was so moved by the appeal
that It laid the adverse committee re
port on the table and will reconsider
Cohen's application. » * m _ «—
HEARST CASTS HIS VOTE
IN UNDERTAKER’S SHOP
New York, Nov. 8.—Mr. Hearst voted
even earlier than Mr. Hughes, for he
was one of tha first at the polls, at 164
East Twenty-ninth street, which Is the
8lxth election district of tho Fourteenth
assembly ,dlstrict.
Tha Independence League candidate
did not think that It was at bII ominous
that he should vote In an undertaker's
shop, which had been rented for the
polling place. Some of the trusty shout-
era of the league >*ere on lifind
watch their candidate as he appeared
at the comer; several of the men 1 dash
ed up to him to show blip how to vote,
But Mr. Hsarst walked away and
strode up to the booths. There was
much curiosity to learn whether or not
the editor had voted under* the Tam
many "star" or the "scales" of the In
dependence League, but no one asked
him. .
