3 TO GUT HOPPER? CURIOUS STORY IS TOLD It Is That Tip Has Gone Out for Hearst Men to Vote for Stimson. DENIED BY ROBERT STEWART. Causes Gossip Just the Same--Voting in Brooklyn Is Progressing Rapidly. A sensational rumor got about this morning that the Independence League had sent out orders to cut Hopper, the head of the ticket, and vote for Stimson and Hearst. So far as could be learned there is no direct authorization for the statement but it is understood Independence League men are following the plan.

At Fred Schumm's they have some bets to-day that Stimson and Hearst will be elected, and it was said at the cafe that the bets hate been made following a general understanding that Hopper would be sacrificed. Independence League leaders in the city and Brooklyn issued no public orders to the effect mentioned. On the other hand, Independence League followers who were asked about the rumor this morning said there was substantial basis for the belief that Stimson would get much of the Independence League vote. Throughout the campaign there have been rumors that Hopper might resign make way for Stimson in order that the Independence League might again, in the last city election, make its fight against the Democratic party more effective. Robert Stewart, the local League leader, denied that there had been any orders to cut Hoppyoting Is Rapid.

The early morning vote was neither heavy enough nor light enough to indicate general enthusiasm or apathy. It was raining when the polls opened and this affected the vote in some of the brownstone districts. In the working districts the men got sharply to the polls and cast their votes before going to business. the downtown districts, not on the Heights, the early vote was large. In two districts they had reached ballot 200 and ballot 176 at 9 o'clock.

he This is exceptionally rapid voting, and shows that there is great interest in the section. Farther uptown, in the Bedford section and the St. Mark's and Park Slope sections, ballots numbering from 100 to 125 were voted at 9 o'clock. This is also surprisingly good for the day and the general conditions. At on o'clock this morning it began to snow over New York and Brooklyn.

Man were up and about for an early breakfast and start for the golf courses looked from the windows on a typical Democratic day. By 6 o'clock the snow had turned to a slight, disagreeable rain, in which the majority of the early voters went forth. The police this morning for the first time in the memory of old voters in this city are carrying made-up challenge lists. These are not drawn from the same sources as the challenge lists carried by the election watchers, but are separate. It has always the custom the police to check up the signatures in the districts, but up to this year it has not been customary for the police to compile their findings into a challenge list.

At 8 o'clock there were lines of from ten to twelve to sixty or seventy in many of the polling places. In districts where there were less than three or four hundred registrations, as in the Rugby seetion of Flatbush, at least fifty per cent. of the voting was in by 9 o'clock. The early vote, SO far as could be judged, was a straight vote. There was not a great deal of time spent in the booth, and while cutting the ballot this year is almost as easy as voting a straight ticket.

owing to the simplicity of the sheet, politicians said that most of the voters were going straight. There was an early rumor that the vote might show surprising strength for William Randolph Hearst.

Arbitrators Are Deadlocked Over the Word "Loyal" and Men Want to Quit Immediately. Philadelphia, November 8-Philadelphia threatened with another street car strike.

The two meetings of motormen and conductors of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, the second of which broke up early this morning, voted to go on strike at a certain hour to-day to be named by the men's executive committee unless arbitrators agree on one of the points still at issue between the car men and the company. The men, it is declared, wanted to go on strike immediately, but a strike was halted by the leaders. The arbitrators are Raymond Robins of Chicago, representing tear men. and John G. Vogler, representing the company.

They are authorized to call in a third man if they cannot agree. The point upon which the two arbitrators are deadlocked is the interpretation to be placed upon the term "loyal men." When the last strike was settled, the company preference in reserved runs the to men right who to give had remained loyal to the company. Negotiations were proceeding between the arbitrators in a satisfactory manner until a week ago. Then a succession of events inflamed the union men.

Throughout the morning reports from ell the watchers were that they were recelving only the most courteous treatment at the hands of the election offcials.

CIVIC VIRTUE IN NEW YORK. Chief Justice Russell Says All Parties Are Ready to Govern Honestly. Chief Justice Isaac Frankun Russell of the Court of Special Sessions delivered an address on "Civic Virtue in New York," at the Bedford Branch Y. M. C.

Bedford avenue and Munroe street, last night. Judge Russell decried the charges of and misrule which have become 60 prevalent, and said that all parties-either Republican or Democratic--are ready to serve the cause Polities are purer than ever before, he declared, and embezzlement public. funds never rarer than to-day. COSTS THE STATE $400 FOR MCGOVERN'S VOTE He's the Leader of the Fortieth Election District in the 16th A. D.

CONTROLS IT SOLIDLY FOR DIX Is the Only Voter in the District and Has Fun With Election Inspector. No man ever had more absolute, hard and fast control of an election district than John McGovern, of 629 Eighteenth street, exercises over Fortieth Election District of the Sixteenth Assembly District. The district will go for Dix. Other districts may be torn up with factional strife; they may be in doubt even after the party leader has given the word. But not so with McGovern's district.

He is the one political boss who has never been overthrown. He owns the vote of the Fortieth just as he owns his hat and shoes. It obeys him as absolutely as his own hands do. Mr. McGovern is the only voter in the district.

By the time his solitary vote is polled to-day it will have cost the state $400 to find out what McGovern's political preferences are. For just the same paraphernalia is necessary to register his one ballot as if he were all the McGoverns that ever came out of Ireland. Four in spectors, a ballot clerk and a cierk, the rent of the polling place, a $60 item in itself, the election printing and election stationery, and all the other necessary expenses, go into the total. McGovern is a man with a sense of humor, and thoroughly enjoys the situation. This year he registered on the first of the four days set aside for that purpose.

But two years ago he didn't register until the last of the four days, along toward, the latter part of the day. In the meantime the four inspectors, who were required by law to place registration open all the time, were begging him every day to register and get it over with. But McGovern wouldn't. He would sit around the polling place and smoke with the inspectors, and swap stories with them, and tantalize them by hanging the district's registration on just within sight and then snatching it away again. He was determined the inspectors should earn their pay.

Samuel H. Andrews, deputy chief clerk of the Board of Elections, was asked how it happens that this condition of things exists. "It is due," he said, "to the fact that we cannot cross a congressional or municipal court line in the formation of election districts. The law will not let us do so. The result is a number of small districts that really shouldn't exist." In the Seventeenth Election District of the Eleventh Assembly District there are tion District of hehe First Assembly Disonly 25 voters.

Twenty-third Electrict there are 37 voters; in the Twentieth of the Second, 92 voters; in the Fortyfirst of the Sixteenth, 82; in the First of the Twenty-third, 51, and in the Thirty-third of the Twenty-third, 77. The last named district--the Thirtythird Election District of the Twentythird Assembly District, is Barren Island. At one time the voters came to Long Island to vote. At the election just prior to the consolidation of the boroughs into Greater New York City the Barren Island citizens crossed John's Creek, one of the arms of' Jamaica Bay, and registered. But on election day the creek was frozen, navigation was impracticable, and they were disfranchised.

After that Barren Island was made into a separate election district. No one can remedy the existing condition with regard to small election districts except the state Legislature. That body has been appealed to several times, but without any result. SUICIDE OR AN ACCIDENT. Salvatore Nitic's Friends Believe His Body Will Be Buried in Consecrated Ground.

There was a controversy this morning over the death of Salvatore Nitic, 42 yeans old, a barber, who was found dead in his attic room at 21 Hamilton street, Manhattan, having been hated by gas during the night. The police report that the man committed suicide, but the friends of the dead man are confident that his death was accidental. According to the story of Policeman Robert McCormick of the Madison street station, on duty in a polling place at 87 Catherine street, he was called to the Hamilton street address by Dominico Ceppi, and in his report the policeman says he broke down a door of a room in the house and found Nitic dead with one end of a gas tube in his mouth and the other end attached to the gas jet, and that the body was naked. The policeman says he went out to call an ambulance, as prescribed in police regulations, and when he returned to the place with Dr. Hewitt of Gouverneur Hospital, he found the dead man fully dressed and the gas tube taken out of his mouth and hung on the wall.

The policeman says he believes that this was done for the purpose of allowing the dead man to be buried in consecrated ground, which would not be permitted it he was known to have killed himself. According to Ceppi he came home this morning and failing to get any response to his knocking at the door, he went around and got into the room over a Are escape. He says he found Nitic dead in bed with his. clothes on and the gas escaping from a burner which was turned half on. The police reported the case to the coroner as a suicide.

REINSINGER CLEARS SALOON. Began Shooting Promiscuouslylieved Relatives Were Robbing Him. In Observation Ward. The patrons of Henry Kissel, a saloonkeeper of 1157 Myrtle avenue, left their foaming glasses in a hurry last night when a man drew a revolver and shouting that his relatives were trying to steal his real estate, started shooting about the room. In an instant the place was empty.

The saloon was crowded. Edward Reinseiger, 49 years old, who told the police that he was an ex-soldier and lived in Fifteenth avenue, Newark, N. was seated at a table with some friends. Suddenly he drew a and began shooting. Policeman Eisenla of the Hamburg avenue station was attracted by the shots, and, running into the place, found Reinseiger reloading his revolver.

Eisenla wrenched the gun from him and took him to the station house. Here he explained that he owned on Long Island and in the city where. he lived. He declared that the reason why he started to shoot was that those with whom he was drinking were trying to steal this property. and that even while he sat there he heard his relatives down in the celiar conspiring to do In the Manhattan, avenue court this morning Magistrate Nash committed him to the observation ward of the Kings County Hospital, WOMAN HAD MAN APRESTED.

She Accuses Him of Stealing From! Department Store. Carl Andersen, aged 37 years, of 548 Eleventh was held this morning by Magistrate Kempner, sitting in the Adams street court, on a charge of petty larceny. The man was arrested by Detectives Callahan and Clark of the local headquarters force, at the request of Miss Susan Reardon, one of the detectives in a department store, who said that he had been shoplifting. He was making a collection of things, she asserted, from a powder box to a pair of He gloves. The accused pleaded not guilty.

was held for hearing later in the week. HER BIPLANE A SUCCESS Machine of Miss Todd, Protege of Mrs. Sage, Tried Out. Given a Trial on Hempstead Plains, It Proves Itself Capable of Navigating the Air. (Special to The Eagle.) Mineola, L.

November 8-A large crowd braved the biting winds which swept. across Hempstead Plains yesterday afternoon to see Garros, the French birdman, make a flight on the Garden City aviation field. It had been allnounced by officials of the Aeronautical Society that Garros would fly in Walter R. Fairchild's aeroplane. This is a machine of Fairchild's own design, and weighs nearly 1,000 pounds.

was a member of the famous Carros, team of birdmen who were active competitors at the international meet, at Belmont Park. The spectators were disappointed, as Garros did not fly, owing to the high winds. They were, however, treated to the unusual spectacle of seeing a new type of machine exploited. This was a biplane and was invented by a woman, and on its first tryout was proven to be practicable. This aeroplane wag invented by Miss Lillian Todd of 131 West Twenty-thira street, Manhattan, who has been working on it for months.

Miss Todd is a protege of Mrs. Russell Sage, whose private secretary she was for years, and she has the distinction of being the first successful woman inventor of a distinct type 01 an aeroplane. This biplane of Miss Todd's differs from the ordinary one in that the upper plane is moved like a bird's wing. Miss Todd's machine is equipped with a 50-horse power Rinek motor, and is in charge of James Manierre New York, who had the testing of the thrust of this motor in charge. The machine was operated by Didier Mason, who formerly was chief mechanician for Paulham, the famous French aviator.

This aeroplane was rolled on the field, and, with a single turn of the propeller, the machine was started and arose gracefully from the ground. Musson flew around the field, making the two laps in an incredibly short time, at a height ol 20 feet. The increasing winds and the growing darkness compelled him to alight, and he made a perfect landing. Mrs. Sage and Miss Todd.

were not on the field yesterday afternoon, but they were down a few days ago and they carefully inspected the many different aeroplanes at Garden Miss Francoise Raiche is the only other woman aviator. and she has made a number of short flights. A few weeks ago, while flying, she dropped about 15 feet, but not seriously hurt, but her chine was ruined and she is now rebuilding it. AUTOMOBILES IN FAST TRIALS Record Time Being Made on the Savannah Course. Bruce Brown Drives at Rate of 64 Miles an Hour--Many Visitors Arriving.

(Special to The Eagle. Race Track, Savanna, November 8-Real racing practice for the Grand Prize and Tiedeman trophy races started here this morning. Ideal weather favored the drivers and the manner in wihch they reeled off the laps promises a new American road record on November 12, the day of the big race. A large crowd of visitors witnessed the practice, giving to the trials an appearance of real racing. Some fast laps were covered by the various drivers.

Bruce Brown, 'the young, millionaire driving the big Benz car which Hemmery drove in the Grand Prize race tdo years ago, made the best time, covering in one of this early laps, the 17.2 miles in 13 minutes 58 seconds, a rate of 74 1-10 miles per Brown in yesterday's trial made an unofficual lap at the speed of 80 miles hour. He acknowledged, however, that this speed could not be maintained for the 415 miles of the race as the hard surface of the road bunrs up the tires too quickly, In his prediction of the average speed for the race, he estimated that the pilots would not do better than 70 miles per hour. Wagner, driving one of the Fiats, also covered a fast lap, making it in 14 minutes 9 seconds. Hemery, his old rival, took things more easy, and loafed around in 15 minutes 2 seconds. Grant, in the Alco, and DePauma, in another Fiat, covered their laps in a little better time, both making the circuit in 14 minutes 52 seconds.

The two Lozier cars which were entered in the Grand Prize race yesterday arrived at the course during practice. The cars were driven to this city from the Atlanta meet, where, last week, they made such a magnificent showing. When they pulled up in front of the grandstand they were given a great reception by the crowd. Thousands of visitors are arriving daily. These come from every part of the United States.

The arrangements to take care of them is splendid. The city officials as well as the members of the Savannah Automobile Club are doing all in their power to make everyone feel at home. Several Brooklynites are among them, Mr. and Mrs. George R.

Herbert being interested spectators. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle automobile, which is on the field of went around the course early this morning. The roads are in splendid condition. They are as smooth as a billiard table and as hard as a rock. During practice 'hours, flagmen are stationed at turn of the road, and they compel every vehicle, except the racing cars, to leave the course.

An interested witness of the practice spins was Mrs. Bruce Brown. mother of the young driver, and every -time that Brown passed by the stand she would with motherly pride, yet with a look of apprehension, po'ut to the lying car and say: "There goes my boy." MARY DIDN'T REPORT TO COURT. Mary Cowan, the young woman who was given a hearing in the Adams court yesterday before Chief Magistrate, Kempner, a charge of waywardness, did not report to Mr. Kempner this morning, as she had been directed.

The authorities have found out that stie was was really employed, 88 she had represented, as an usher in the Majestic Theater. Magistrate Kempner has the case over to Miss Annie Roome, the (probationary officer of another court. FLATBUSH SALOON GOES: NEIGHBORS REJOICE Groggery, an Eyesore in Resi-. dential Section, Closed for Non-Payment of Rent. WON'T REOPEN, SAYS OWNER.

Was Located at Corner of Ocean Park. way and Church Avenue. Under Boycott. A saloon located in one of the finest residential sections of Flatbush and which property holders had been fighting tor nearly two years as an eyesore has at last gone out of business. But it was not the antagonism of the neighbors that accomplished its end.

It was the prosaic ohe of non-payment of rent. The proprietor of the saloon was ed by C. F. Adams, a member of the real estate firm of D. W.

Brown who owns the property, and there 15 much rejoicing in the neighborhood in consequence. The saloon was located in a shack at the northwest corner of Ocean Parkway and Church avenues, and on all sides of it are fine residences. Gilbert Stratton owns a magnificent home one block away, at the corner of Beverley road, and Dr. Waterbury's fine house is almost site. It was frequented mostly by oppose drivers.

The opening of the saloon in the first place was considered by many as a "strike" proposition. Sherlock Collins, a firm of builders some time since bought nearly all of the block between Albemarle and Church avenues, on the west side of the Parkway, with the exception of a plot on the corner of Church avenue, which is owned by Adams. On this they began the erection of a row of fine stone English basement houses. While building operations were in progress a small wooden shanty, which Brown Adams had occupied as a real estate office on the corner plot, was being transformed. Covers were put on the windows so that nobody could tell what was going on inside and it was given out that barber shop fixtures were being put in.

To the astonishment of the residents, in a short time the place was thrown open as a saloon. When investigation was begun it was learned that a saloon license had been taken out in the name of John Hires. Most astonished and angry of all were Sherlock Collins, who feared that the value of their row of houses would be endangered. They took steps at once to try and have the license revoked, but they found that the license had been granted before their houses were ready for occupancy and there was no one living within the 200-foot limit to make a protest. Every conceivable thing was done to put the saloon out of business.

Plumbing inspectors, sanitary inspectors and other city officials made investigations, and Fritz Lindinger, president of the Ocean Parkway Taxpayers Association, wrote to the borough heads, but all without avail. Mr. Adams said to-day that a "job" was even put up with Coney Island characters to bring about a raid, but that the scheme was foiled. In the meantime, the saloon was boycotted by many, but wagon drivers on the parkway patronized it freely, and it appeared to be making money. There was considerable mystery about the ownership of the place, but Mr.

Adams explained it all to-day. He said that a man named Hires opened the place for his son, on finding that the plot was not restricted. The son gave way to. a man named Hughes, but the license remained in Hire's 'name. "They ran behind with the rent." said Mr.

Adams, "and I decided to dispossess them. I was tired of the whole crew." He declared that he would not let any more liquor be sold on the premises. The brewery, he said, wanted to. put another man in the place, but he would not consent. HAS IT IN FOR THE B.

R. T. Magistrate Geismar Tells of His Morning's Experience. Waited Over an Hour for Cars to Carry Him on Thirty Minute Ride. Magistrate Geismar, in the Flatbush police court, registered a protest against the, Election Day schedule of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit when he told the attorneys, after a small docket had been cleaned up, that he had spent one hour and four minutes waiting for cars to take him from his home, in Dyker Heights, to the Flatbush court, on Snyder avenue, near Flatbush avenue, and had put in about thirty-five minutes in actual travel.

"Has anybody here a complaint to offer against the Brooklyn Rapid Transit?" Magistrate Geismar asked, at the close of the docket. The attorneys present did not take the question seriously, on and asked him for an explanation. "It is just this way," he continued. "1 left my home this morning on my way to court, and waited 28 minutes for an Eighty-sixth street car, near my home. Then I went to Sixty- ninth street and Fifth avenue to transfer to a Fifth avenue car, and waited there for 22 minutes.

That took me to the corner of -ninth street, and as I disembarked I looked up the street and saw a Church avenue car just going up the hill; So waited another 14 minutes before a Church avenue car came along, and I got to court after being on the road one hour and thirty-nine minutes. "In the future I think I can save time by walking, but in the meantime, if any of you gentlemen have any charges against the Brooklyn Rapid Transit which come under my jurisdiction, 1 I will be willing to entertain them."

I LITTLE FOR POLICE TO DO; RESERVES IN READINESS Fewer Warrants To-day Than at Any Election for Many Years Past. MAY MAKE NOISE TO-NIGHT Mayor Tells of Privileges Merrymakers Will Have--Bonfires and Ticklers. The local police arrangements for the preservation of the peace were in the hands of Fourth Deputy Commissioner Reynolds and Borough Inspector George R. Holahan. Every policeman was working to-day, and even in the special tails men were put on regular duty.

The photographer and clerks in the Bertillion room at State street headquarters were taken from "the gallery" and were sent out to do duty as detectives during the forenoon and afternoon. There were fewer warrants out than there had been in years, and the precincts in Brooklyn had only fourteen to serve as against three score last year. It was evident that there had been more care in registration this year, for many of the men who had been under suspicion of having registered illegally nad been arrested before they had a chance to vote, and their cases had been threshed out in advance in the district courts. The borough inspector and the district inspectors in Brooklyn were all at headquarters in Center street last night. There was a meeting of all the inspectors in the city at 8:30, in the course of which the men got their instructions from Deputy Commissioner Driscoll.

He told them about the plans that had been laid by Commissioner Cropsey for an orderly observance of the day and night, and they were informed that they would be held very strictly responsible for the enforcement of the law. There was a special talk about bonfires on the street; about taking special care of the boxes; and about the use of confetti and ticklers in the throngs at night. There may be noises, and cow bells and horns may be used, but there must be no violence. A sufficient number of patrolmen, mounted and on foot, will be on the streets to -night to give protection to the people. No cars will be run on Washington street, for The Eagle bulletins will draw a crowd that will make traffic of trolleys in front of The Eagle office gerous.

Deputy Commissioner Driscoll told the inspectors that at all hazards they should enforce the law and see to it that the vote should be taken without injury to any party. Every year this instruction is given to the men in command of the various boroughs and to the district police inspectors. The men were informed that automobiles would be at their service all day, 80 that in case of trouble at any the man in charge of the district would have quick transit to the scene of action. Mayor Gaynor had commandeered all of the city autos for the use of the police to-day. Every police inspector has one at his command.

ough Inspector Holahan had the auto that is officially used by Borough President Steers, and Inspector Dillon, who is in charge of the downtown district, has the machine that is the official property of the deputy commissioners of sewers. At local headquarters on State street there was in reserve a sufficient force of men to cope. with riotous behavior in any part of the city, and provision had been made for their quick mobilization at any needed point. There were men held in reserve in the trial room at local headquarters and the members of the detective force were at their head office in Brooklyn ready for action if needed. Acting Captain Coughlin, who is in charge of the Brooklyn detectives, had 38.

men all day, up to 4 this afternoon, in reserve in his office. After 4 and until nightfall there will be 30 men on duty. At nightfall 88 detectives will be sent out on the streets, to take care of the crowds and be on the lookout for pickpockets. The arrangements for receiving the returns at local headquarters to-night are in the hands of William Allan, the new assistant superintendent of police telegraph. A number of telephones, one to each station, has been installed for the night, and drafts have been made on the precincts for expert telephone operators among the lieutenants.

It is believed that the police canvass of the vote will be most perfect if the plans made hv the chiefs of the service rried out. HE WAS SWEPT FROM TRAIN Policeman Dwight Was Hanging on to Closed Gate. Train Was in Motion When He Arrived at Station, but He Jumped On. Hanging to the steps of a Long Island train from Far Rockaway, this morning, Policeman Adolph Dwight of the First Precinct. Far Rockaway, made the trip to Hollywood avenue, Edgemere, where he was knocked from his position by a fence and sustained a severe cut on his left side and internal injuries.

He is at St. George's Hospital in a critical condition because of internal injuries in addition to the cut. The accident was the result of the haste of the policeman in trying board the train after the gates were closed, as he was late in getting to the station. When Dwight ran up to the train this morning he found the gates closed and the train in motion. Knowing that he would be late in reporting for duty it he waited for the next train he topk the chance of jumping to the platform, hanging on the gate, expecting that some of the trainmen would see his predicament and open the door.

Nobody saw him, and the train sped on with the man swaying from his perilous position on the side. Approaching Hollywood avenue in EdgeDwight found his hold loosening. and at a point where a picket fence is along the track, he lurched backward and was caught by the sharp pales and torn from his hold.
