At least $300,000 has been wagered on the election in the financial district.

The odds changed then to even money, where they held firm until Hugh McLaughlin, the Brooklyn leader, announced his opposition to the Tammany ticket. The odds then fell to 10 to 9, and gradually rose until to-day for sums of $100 and $200 the beat, odds that could be obtained were 100 to 70. A number of small bettors with these sums to wager appeared on the| curb, but they could get no better odds although the man with $500 or more to wagor could gei id to 9 and even a shade better, as $500 to $450. The Italians in the financial district are much interested in the elec- tion and a syndicate of Italian bankers bas been formed to make wagers! on Low.
