Between 7 and 9 o'clock this morning more than 20,000 tickets were sold at the Borough Hall station, and it was estimated that the trains to Manhattan carried a still greater number of passengers, as many ticket purchasers yestenlay laid in a supply and did not buy any to-day. Officials of the Inlerborough Company believe the traffic will increase everyday for some time. They were disappointed yesterday morning over the small number of passengers in the rush hours, but their disappointment turned to gratification last night, when they received the figures for the evening rush.

It was five minutes before a ladder could be raised from the ground, and the fire by that time was burning all about the men.

The company has hastened to deny that, it reduced its bridge service yesterday, that it h.is any Intention of modifying the service In any direction until conditions become more stable. It is admitted that two brlijgo trains were off. but this was explained by the Illness of two cable car operators, and the Inability of the railroad people to get men to fill their places. It, was asserted on behalf of the railroad that the two trains were uot taken off because of the reduction in number of passengers to be carried, but were taken off the day before the opening of the tunnel uecnuse there was no one to operate them. They will be put back into service to-morrow, It was said.

Tht; Brooklyn Rapid Transit refused to give but any figures for tho bridge traffic of yesterday. No 'one in the company's offices would even estimate the number of passengers diverted from the bridge by tho tunnel. Perhaps a Third Diverted From the Bridge. If lh Inlerborough figures for th" height of the afternoon rush hour were correct traffic on the bridge must have been cut down a third, If not even more. The Inlerborough figures showed that 27,000 perRons were brought through the tunnel In a period of 81 minutes.

January 10 It Is reported is not accustomed to giving support to a candidate without knowing where the candidate stands. Ever since Colonel Dady prut the question flat to the Governor and was rebuffed without an answer, Odell has held back and refused to take any active part in the Hughes boom. Colonel Dady visited former Governor Odell at Newburgh to-day and went over the whole situation with him. Dady had nothing to say when he left, the former Governor and state chairman about the Interview. When asked what his own attitude was Colonel Dady Bald: "How can I be for a nian who la not for himself?" The Court of Appeals judges called on Governor Hughes to-day In a body.

They were dressed in the silk gowns they wear when sitting on the bench. Chief Judge Cullen, acting as spokesman, said that the Judges wanted to congratulate Governor Hughes on his good work in his first year in office and to wish him continued succoss and health and content in th8 discharge of his duties for the year to come. Governor Hughes replied and said that he was pleased to receive the approbation of the Judges and he wiBhed them in return success and happiness. He said that New York State was to be congrat about the Capitol to-day on good au 72,900 persons in 81 minutes. Assuming that the 27,000 persons brought through the tunnel In 81 minutes were all drawn from the 72,900 that had traveled over thority that the President informed White House callors this afternoon that Taft would be nominated on the first ballot, with over six hundred votes.

This news was generally talked about by senators Two Peremptory Challenges. During the first hour of the mornins pick was almost twisted out of his hand. Scraping the point of the pick about the detectives managed to locate what was plainly an oblong hard thing that seemed to the feel like a safe lying on its side. Redoubling their efforts the detectives exposed the entire safe In a very few minutes. But the task ot drawing It from the hole was beyond them and they engaged the services of some Italian laborers who were hard of sinew and experienced.

A beer skid was borrowed and a block and tackle rigged; then the safe was hoisted out and examined. It had been battered open and the jewelry and the money were not there. But a lot of papers and Insurance policies belonging to Mrs, Meanley were found and these were taken, with the safe, to local police headquarters. The police believed that they bad reason to arrest three men who It was suspected were concerned in the burglary and the result was that soon three prisoners were brought to Lieutenant Vach-ris' office at local headquarters. The Heeto who was appointed a transfer tax appraiser by State Controller Kelsey, sought, when he was removed by the present controller, Martin Glynn, to get his place back under the Civil Service regulations and because he was a veteran fireman.

He applied to Justice Abbott for a mandamus but the court has refused it.

Mrs. Hessler immediately notified the authorities and an investigation is being made. The burglars effected an entrance by forcing a rear window.

They evidently were aware that the house was unoccupied, as they appeared to have made themselves at home. Remnants of cigarettes, boxes of matches and a woman's rubber were found on the premises. A domestic in a nearby family report-rd yesterday that while passing the house a few days ago, during the forenoon, hhe heard considerable noise within, but paid no attention to the matter, as she imagined that some of the family were up to look after things, until she learned yesterday that the bouse had been robbed.

there was great gain for the InterboroiiRh. The tunnel, according official estimates, carried 140,000 personx In the first 24 hours. Some of these were, passengers who came from uptown sections In Manhattan or rode from Brooklyn to uptown sec tions ot the sister borough, and the Interborough would have goi thair nickels anyway without having th trouble and expense of carrying them from Brooklyn. However, the van ro jorlty were passengers from tbe Wall street financial district, or passenger who bad business in that district, and who would not have used the lines to get tip to the bridge.
