former City Controller and Borough President of Brooklyn, cast his vote without nny embarrassing difficulties today. Mr. Coler took more joy out of casting this vote, probably, than any other he has cast, since the courts had upheld his right to vote from 170 New York avenue, where his old residence stood and where an apartment house is now in the course of construction. win Smiling broadly, Mr. Coler appeared at the butcher shop at Nostrand avenue and Bergen street shortly after 8 o'clock.

This is the polling place of the Third Election District of the Eighteenth Assembly District. He went up to the policeman on duty, introduced himself and asked good naturedly: "Have, you got a warrant for me?" "No, I certainly havo not," the policeman replied. When he left the booth Coler crossed to a nearby cigar stoic, purchased box of cigars and returned to present them to the election officials in the polling place.

Bates to prevent the use of city automobiles for carrying Black-wells Island employees to the polls, was dismissed in a decision handed down by Supreme Court Justice Phil-bin late last night.

Bates' first action was directed against Commissioner Kingsbury of the Department of Charities, and came before Supreme Court Justice Cohalan.

Bates began the second action with the Mayor as defendant, alleeine that there are 371 registered voters among tne isiana employees, 4b oi wnom were not entitled to vote.

P. UEADUARTERS QUIET. Principle Complaints Are From Men Who Registered In Wrong Districts. While the law committees of both major polMcal parties wers on duty early at their respective headquarters, they had very little work to do up till noon. The Republicans had one case in court, the Democrats none.

The Republican case was an action brought before Supreme Court Justice Manning to force the election officials of the Fourth Election District of the Twenty-third Assembly District to accept the vote of a man named Bradford W. Verrill of 179 Hull street. In taking Verrill's address the registration officers had put his street number down as 197 instead of 179. Both numbers are in the same election district. An order to show cause why his vote should not be accepted was uppnea i or ana granted.

Louis R. Blck, chairman of the Republican special Election Day law committee, was in command of the G. O. P. legal artillery.

With him were associated Edward H. Wilson, Conrad S. Keyes, Grover W. Mosko-wltz and William E. Butler.

The Democrats had men stationed in avery police court to take care of any cases that might come up there, but they had little to do. The principle complaints that came to the lawyers were from men who had registered in the wrong election districts, for which there is no legal remedy in the courts on Election day Such mistakes must be corrected a week before election. Fully fifteen such instances were called to the attention of the Republican lawyers and several came to the attention of the Democrats.

"The sinking of a British small cruiser, off the Irish coast, by a German submarine, haa increased the total British losses In battleships and cruisers to 501,790 tons," says an Overseas News Agency announcement today.

"This does not include British auxiliary cruisers, submarine, torpedo boats or guardshlps lust. "According to the known strength of the British Navy at the beginning of the war, it has lost 14 per cent, of its battleships. 30 per cent, of its armored cruisers and 14 per cent, of its protected cruisers. Thirty-nine ships or a total of 443,500 tons have been destroyed by German nave forceg. "Moreover, the British Navy has lost fifty torpedo boats, of 71,500 tons, und seventy-six submarines.

"The figures given take Into consideration only those losses regarding which no doubt exists." The reference In the foregoing tu a British warship sunk off the Irish coast, doubtless concerns the Quisle Admiralty announcement on Novomlior 5, that a small British cruiser of old construction had been sunk by a German submarine off the west coast of Ireland. The British Admiralty stated It was evident that the announcement referred to the sinking of the British mltte BWeeper Genista, the loss of which was officially announced on October 20. Fair weather, general through the country except in the upper Mlssisslp-Pi Valley and In western Colorado, accompanied by agreeable tempera-1 ture, brought out the voting hosts early today. Reports at noon from practically all sections indicated that a heavy vote had been cast and some points reported that the bulk of the vote was in before 10 a.m. The bigj early vote was something of a Bur- prise to politicians and caused much conjecture.

The fair weather and heavy early voting was apparently pleasing news to those in charge at both Republican and Democratic National Headquarters here, as both sides expressed gratification at the course of events. Chairman William R. Willcox of the Republican Committee was early at his desk receiving telegraphic reports. Chairman Vance C. McCormick of the Democratic Committee was In Harris-burg, to vote, but was expected tn return to his desk here later In the day.

All of the New England States In their early reports of the voting dwelt on the heavy early balloting. Providence, R. reported that throughout he state it was the heaviest known. New York State and other Middle Atlantic States all reported an unusually large early vote and similar reports came from the West and South, Indicating keen and even eager interest everywhere. Boston.

Reports from some of the larger cities indicated that probably more than one-half the voters visited the polls during the first few hours after they opened. In some of the smaller towns Trenton. N. November 7 Fair weather over the State gave promise of bringing the voters to the polls early, and political leaders looked for a heavy vote.

Reports from various sections of tho State during the early hours seemed to bear out these expectations, particularly in Newark. Hoboken and Jersey City, the centers of population. Both sides claimed the weather situation favored their chance of victory. Albany, November 7 Voters begran arriving at the polling places in large numbers at an early hour today und indications pointed to an unusually heavy vote. There was a chill to the air and a thick fog overhung the city, but fair weather was expected later Buffalo.
