There were two tickets In the field In each company, the administration ticket and the International policy- holders* tickets. But from the time that the |»olls were opened at 10 a. m. all through the day, there was every Indication that the policyholders* bit ter struggle to put officers Into the companies that would forbid abuses, was doomed to defeat. The administration forces In the New York Life sprung a sensation when they brought In three hampers filled with proxies, each hamper, Jt was said, containing to.ooft ballots. The four state Insurance Inspectors with State Superintendent Otto Kelsey ut their head, accepted the proxies. Shortly afterwards Samuel Untemey- er. representing the policyholders, pre sented ten boxes of proxies, each con taining 3,500 ballots.

DEATH FOLLOWED SOFT DRINK FROM FI W. B. Wilson Dead Aftofc- Sudden Attack of Indigestion. polls opened a long line of men waited on the side streets alongside each of the three Insurance buildings and crowds of curious passersby watched the progress of the election. The antl-admlnlstratlon this after noon delivered two van loads of votes t the polling places In the New York Life building, but even with this tre mendous number of proxies the betting ranged even that the administration ticket would win by 50.000 votes and 1 to 25 that It would be from 100,000 to 125,00j. The votes which have been sent to the state department of Insurance by policyholders all over the country, numbering 190,000, were deposited by Secretary McCall this afternoon.

Wil son, an employee of Gutham’s laun dry, died Monday within two hours afterwards. Acute Indigestion was the cause death, according to Dr. William Jones, of Marietta and Walton streets, who was called to attend the dying man. But that this was brought on b>‘ the drink there Is little doubt in the minds of those who cared for him. Wilson drove a laundry wagon and while on his way to the Hotel Tray wJck, at 163 Marietta street, he stopped In the drug store for a drink. By the time he reached the Tray wick, only a few blocks away, he was violently III and staggering into the hotel he asked that a physiclnn he called. He was suffering from cramps and vomiting, but at first the physician not Inclined to believe his case was serious. He was put In a bfd and later sent to his home, at 136 West Mitchell street, where he died. In answer to Inquiries made at the hotrl when he was taken sick, Wilson said he had eaten nothing for break fust except rice, gravy and coffee and It was the opinion that the drink had brought on the attack.
