headquarters of the party In New
York reiterated today that when all
returns are In It will be shown that
the total vote Is double or almost
double that or 1904. which was 401.00(1.
The New York state vote for E. V.
Ichs for President, estimated on the
basis of returns received at state
headquarters, was placed at between
40.000 and 50.000. The state vote in
1S4 was 35.000.
In 190S, with the Independence
l.faiiue In the Held, it dropped to
21.751. Generally speaking, the up
state Socialist vote showed a falling
off In the cities and Increases in the
small towns. Kew complete returns
by counties had been compiled, but
the Socialists cited the case of Schnec
tady where the vote this year for
Iebs was 1200 as compared with 617
In 1904. Considerable Increases -were
shown in Chautauqua County, where
Iitinklrk Rare Lebs 203 votes as com
pared with only 19 four years ago.
In t.reater New York, according to
the Socialist daily paper of this city,
Iebs polled a total of 25.361. a gain
of only S47 over 1904. This figure Is
behind the vole cast for Hisgen, the
Independence party candidate, who
received 27,279 In Greater New York.
In like manner Shearn, the Indepen
dence party candidate for Governor,
leads Wanhope. Socialist candidate In
Greater New York by 34.17S to 23.414.
J'ebs ran several thousand ahead of
Wanhope throughout the. state.
for the Socialist candidate In 1934.
Then there were a great many
t'isgruntied Democrats who were
chagrined because Parker was nom
inated, and they voted with the Social
ists. This year they went back to the
Democratic party and voted for Bryan.
I count that we have made a gain in
the actual Socialist vote." ,

1400 Veniremen Examined.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6. The taking
of testimony In the third trial of Abraham
Ruef, former political boss of this city,
on one of the several score of bribery In
dictments against him, will be commenced
before Superior Judge ljawlor tomorrow.
After ten weeks' work, during which
time more than 1400 veniremen were sum
moned, new record in criminal cases,
the twelfth man to complete the Jury, was
secured and sworn In today.
Jury Completed.
The Jury as accepted Is as follows:
John Anderson, builder'; William S. Har
rison, merchant; Timothy Sullivan, con
tractor; John Beuttler, butcher; Alexan
der Bond, real estate; Charles A. Roller,
retired; William J. O'Leary, no business;
Dennis Murphy, retired; George M. Shil
ling manufacturer; Joseph O'Brien, real
estate; James McNamara, retired; William
Oakley, retired contractor.
The work of getting a Jury was begun
August 26. The transcript of the exami
nation of the veniremen covers 6000 pages,
containing 1,375,000 words and if printed
would make two volumes the size of the
Bible. The cost of the transcript alone,
preliminary to the actual trial, is about
15000.
The specific charge upon which Ruef
will be tried this time is the bribing of
cx-Supervisor John J. Furey, to vote for
a trolley franchise for the United Rail
roads, which was granted to the street
railway company soon after the disaster
of April 18, 1906. .
Opening Statement Made.
After hearing the contentions of coun
sel. Judge Ljawlor denied the application
of the defense ' for the exercise of addi
tional peremptory challenges. The Indict
ment was then read and Assistant District
Attorney Heney began the opening state
ment for the prosecution.
Judge ilurasky today denied the motion
to set aside the Indictments against Frank
J. Murphy and A. S. Newburgh. charging
them with attempting to bribe John M.
Kelley, a venireman on the panel from
which a Jury was to be selected to try
Abraham Ruef. Murphy and Newburgh
were two of Ruefs attorneys. Tomorrow
Judge Murasky will hear the argument
upon the demurrers to the Indictments.
utes later the lawyers for the defend
ants were making the customary mo
tions for a new trial, for ball and for
permission to take an appeal to the Cir
cuit Court of Appeals.
Prisoners Go to Tombs.
Judge Hough said that he would hear
the motions tomorrow morning, when'
the prisoners are to be arraigned be
fore him to be sentenced. He then dis
missed the Jury. Morse and Curtis
were accompanied as far as the Tombs
prison by their wives.
There has been wide Interest In the
Joint trial. It was brought out In the
testimony that Morse had made large
loans from the bank through dummies,
and that President Curtis had enabled
him to do so. The money thus obtained
was used to finance the Morse ice pools
and steamship operations.
Blacks Camera Fiend's Eye.
After the Jury had retired, upon re
ceiving further instructions, Mrs. Cur
tis, who had been listening intently to
Judge Hough's Instructions, burled her
face in her hands and began to sob. Mrs.
Morse, the wife of the other defendant,
hurried to the side of the weeping wo
man and placing her arms around her,
endeavored to reassure her that every
thing was all right for both defendants.
The tedium of waiting was relieved
for a time early this afternoon when a
newspaper photographer attempted to
take a snapshot of Charles W. Morse
and two ladles who accompanied him,
when he was leaving the courtroom for
luncheon. Just as the camera man was
about to snap the shutter, Morse sprang
at him, seized the camera, smashed It
and gave the photographer a black eye.
United States District Attorney Stim
son said that according to his compu
tation the prisoners had been convicted
on 64 counts, all of which were com
bined In the charges of misappropria
tion of funds and making false entries
in the books of the bank. The latter
charge also inoluded the charge of
making false reports to the Controller
of the Currency.
Tonight Curtis was hoping for a sus
pended sentence because of the aid he
had given to the Government attorneys.

MORSE AND CURTIS GUILTY
(Continued From First PaRe.j v
Foreman John Elder was reading the
verdict, and their wives eat near them,
leaning forward in tense attitude to
catch every word.
"We , have agreed upon a verdict In
the case of both defendants," said the
foreman in a subdued voice. "On the
charge of conspiracy we find them not
guilty."
A look of relief came to the faces of
the prisoners and their wives, but It
lasted only a moment, for Mr. Elder
continued'
"On the charge of misapplication of
the funds of the tjank we find both de
fendants guilty. On the charge, of mak
ing false entries In the books of the
bank we find both defendants guilty.
In the case of Alfred H. Curtis the Jury
wishes to make a strong recommenda
tlpn to the mercy of the court."
Morse Shows Disappointment.
A stifling sob of relief escaped Mrs.
Curtis as she heard the recommenda
tion for mercy for her husband. Curtis
took the verdict like a stole, but Morse
was unable to conceal his disappoint
ment, while his wife showed no signs
of emotion. She kept her eyes -on her
husband, forgetting herself.
There -was a momentary hush in the
courtroom. This was broken by a buzz
of excited conversation and a few min-

gambler, is In Jail here charged with at
tempting to kill his brother-in-law, Will

kins, former mining broker of Chicago,
was brought back from Seattle by the
Federal authorities yesterday morning,
and in the afternoon was arraigned before
Judge Bethea on a charge of using the

torney Reid insisted on having the bond
fixed at J5000. and the court did this
despite the protests of the prisoner's
counsel. Hopkins was formerly president
of the Wallace H. Hopkins Company,
with a fine suite of offices at 181
