New York, Nov. 3.- Throughout the interior of this state and in New Jersey and the New England states the weather Tuesday was clear and pleasant. The 1,392 polling places in New York city opened at 6 o' clock and even at that early hour there were people waitlng at most of the pollng places. In fact early voting appeared to be the general rule. In one of the up-town precincts, where there were 175 names registered, ninety-seven ballots had been cast at 8:30 o'clock. In another precinct, out of 242 registered, eightyfour had voted by 9 o'clock. Party leaders and watchers at the polls were making all sorts of claims as to what the early vote meant. The Bryanites claimed that the early vote was the labor, and that it was going for their candidate. The Republicans on the other hand saw in the rush the desire of the people to lose no time in asserting that they were for the Republican ticket and platform. The early voting in Brooklyn was unusually large. Something like 35 per cent of the registered voters of the city had cast their ballots by 9 o'clock, and the indications pointed to the total. vote of ttie day being considerably larger than that which was cast four years Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 3. - The sky Tuesday was cloudless. The polling booths were crowded from the opening hour to noon. Whlle great interest was manifested. there was but little excitement. Albany, N. Y., Nov. 3.- The weather here was perfect and the vote was polled in a phenomenally rapid manner. By 9 o'clock in some districts onehalf the registered vote had been cast.
