Mayor Mitchel voted early and gave encouragement to the Suffrage leaders by his frank announcement that he had voted far votes for women, He also announced that he had voted against nearly all the sections of the proposed revised Constitution, John D. Rockefeller only smiled when asked, at the polling place tn Sixth Avenue, whore he voted, if he had cast his ballot for Woman Suf- frage. However, as Mr. Kockofoller was accompanted to the polls by four women, Who surrounded him in his big Mmousine, the Suffrage workers at his polling place felt safe in as- suming that he had aided the cause by one vote, Under orders of Charles F, Murphy, all Taramany men displayed courw- ous attention to women watchers at the polling places, At a meeting of the Tammany Executive Committee last Saturday, Mr, Murphy cautioned the leaders that women watchers had 1 lawful right to be in the polling places and that it was ‘Tammany’s duty to "show every courtesy to the women folks."

Hundreds of them sat for hours in stuffy polling places, hazy with-tobacco smoke, carefully checking off voters who were passing in and out of the booths. Thousands, laden with circulars and sample ballots, stood at the legally prescribed distance from polling places, smilingly presenting their last arguments to the men bound for the ballot boxes, Automobiles, decorated with the suffrage colors, were stationed at strategic points and there literature was distributed and oratory flourished the day through. Although elections tn this city @re@ Qn the more populous districts in Man- hattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx was in the ballot boxes at 10 o'clock, The perfect Indian summer day brought out a heavy early vote, Bankers, brokers, city officials and business men, for whom Election Dey ts & holiday, hastened to the polls trom breakfast and hastened from the polls to golf, motoring and other diversions in the country. The great bull of the vote was poled by 3 o'clock, Below Fourteenth Street om the Hast Side and In the Bronx disteiote where Jews predominate, more than helt the vote was in befure 9 o'clock, The Suffragists had every reason to be- lieve that they would poll a big vote in these sections in favor of votes for women, ‘There were more women about the polling places in those dis- tricts and in the Brownsville part of Brooklyn than elsewhere in the city. Indications pointed to a heavy vote, and, contrary to the expeviations of political leaders, there was a re markably keen interest manifested in all parts of the city on the ques- tion of the Constitution. Voting was slower than usual because of the three ballots handed to every voter, but it appeared that the boards of election were better posted in thelr duties than usual and there were fewer delays due to slumgishnéss or ignorance on the part of the officials, The voting machines Installed by rival companies were used to-day in the Fifteonth Assembly District, They were in the polling places at No, 113 Amsterdam Avenue, near Sixty-fitth Street and in Seventy-third Street near Riverside Drive, Voters used the machines for registering their choloe on officers and all the other questions excopt the Constitution, Tho machines are self computing The EVENING WORLD Will Issue Election Extras After the Regular Editions ———TO-NIGHT———= GET THE NEWS FIRST, IN THE WORLD ay
