Registration in New York City shows a sharp drop from the first three days of the last presidential year with Manhattan and the Bronx leading the decline. Experts blame the new registration law and half holiday hours, while Queens and Richmond hold steadier figures. Tammany Hall pushes registration with legal staff at the ready as inspectors report few illiterate slips signed.
Albany reports two days of registration show 18 126 voters with 1 195 fewer than four years ago and 796 more than 1906. Orange County enrollment is light with Middletown 378 down from four years ago. Newburg and Amsterdam show mixed gains and losses. Totals for two days across several cities are compared with 1900 1904 1906 and 1901 benchmarks.
Third day registration table compares current assembly district totals with 1906 figures after 1904 reapportionment. Entry covers Manhattan and the Bronx, reflecting changes since the last Presidential year and showing how districts now differ from earlier counts.
Republican headquarters reported widespread reluctance to take the registration oath in all city sections, especially the east side lodging districts, as applicants refused when challenged and the need for slips diminished.
A New York registration site at 684 Broadway in a basement billiard room reports no voters this year. Four election inspectors, paid seven dollars daily, say they expect no registrations tomorrow as the district remains a single block with no eligible voters. The redistricting last summer moved the old Ninth District into new lines, isolating this area in the Twenty-ninth Election District of the Twenty-fifth Assembly District.
Westchester County shows a marked registration increase over 1907, with Yonkers lagging by about 500 due to mill shutdowns. White Plains posts the largest percentage gain, while Tarrytown is very high and Ossining dips slightly. Mount Vernon up 501 and New Rochelle up 281 from last year.
Special to The New York Times William Randolph Hearst in Berkeley links Archbold letters to the use of certificates of deposit to obscure payments. He reads portions from 1901 correspondence and suggests deposits hide public trace while naming Griscom Sibley and McLaurin as figures in the matter.
The excerpt discusses political intrigue surrounding Senator McLaurin and Mr Sibley with mentions of Archbold and a standard company. It questions who was found guilty, notes conversations via a mutual friend, and ends with a call to patriotism and vigilance against corruption threatening the Republic.
