Mr Hughes, owing to III health, accepted.a professorship at law In Cor-I noil University In 1891. but two years later returned to New York to become the "working' member of the few firm of Carter, Hughes * Dwight.

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. DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE WILLIAM RANDOLDH HEARST.

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. .
