Senator Nugent 19 leading by slightly over 600 votes and an official count to determine the result is expected.

At the Department of Health building, Flatbush ave. extension, this forenoon, the Emergency Influenza Committee of Brooklyn held a meeting, at which all reports were and due thanks extended to the Brooklyn physicians who responded to the urgent need of the epidemic victims.

The establishment of this committee marked the first time in the medical history of Brooklyn that the charity hospitals and Board of Health have merged to serve one cause. The Board of Health inspectors who previously looked after sanitary conditions only went straight to the bedsides of influenza victims and did the work of attending nurses.

Brooklyn was divided, at the outbreak of the epidemic, into twenty-six districts, and these twentysix districts were all heard from this morning.

Now that the epidemic is under control the committee has been disbanded as an emergency body. Capt. Louise Ruxton in her address reported the delivery of nearly 4,000 quarts of milk and broth by the National League for Women's Service. Miss Ruxton is captain in the Motor Corps Division.

misdemeanor; Bernard Eckstein, ing; Giuseppe DeMayo, robbery, frat degree, The Woman Voter Dr. Adele Cuinet, a prominent Republican of the First Assembly District, has thrown a bombshell into the Republican ranks by criticising the leaders of the party for their attitude toward the women voters. "On March 14 of this year," said Dr. Cuinet, "I said before the Political Equality League: 'Those who are afraid of Tammany Hall, State no tariff and the bugaboo of the illiterate vote, had better come down from their high perch of self-sufficiency, open up the avenues of their organizations and with the newly enfranchised women (half of the voters of the city and State) as partners, not anxiliaries, and with equal rights in political activities, or take overwhelming defeat in the next The result in the vote for Governor and State Legislature has proved my prophecy true. If the Republican powers that be, or were, had worked in unity for Governor Whitman; had left factional fights alone, and had realized the value of the newly enfranchised voters the result would no doubt have been different.

It is known that many Republican leaders did not work with or for the women at the primaries. They did not try to get out the new electorate. Either they did want the women because they were afraid of their potential power in politics, or they were dickering with the politiclans. The women did all they could to get out a big primary vote for Whitman, but they received little encouragement from the men leaders. "I take my hat off to the foresight of the Democratic organization led by John H.

McCooey, who realized the possibilities of the women vote. As early as last December, almost immediately after the franchise was granted, they had the vision of the great asset in political work. I was present at the first meeting of Democratic women called the first week of December, by Miss Sarah Stephenson, now borough secretary. I went to meetings of all parties first to be sure just where I stood in politics. The an vote, by that I mean those women could to corrall the de 'unattached' womDemocratic leaders have done all they without relatives with whom they would naturally join in political sympathy.

"Up to March 14 little had been done by the Republicans to draw the women into the political fold. The Republican organization is, in my opinion, rather weak, and the leaders had better get together and hustle. I feel that our present victory for Congress was very great. If I could choose between victory for Congress or State I would choose Congress. I love New York State the best of any State in the Union, but I love the United States more.

What is best for all the States is what is worth working for. 1 feel that out of gratitude, if for no other reason, women should have given their first vote to Whitman, but there is no use in regrets for a lost cause. "I feel very strongly that we have in Kings County a large number of women who would be in sympathy with Republican principles, but who have taken no part in politics because they have not been asked to join with the regular organization in political interests. I do not believe in separate women's organizations, and 'auxiliaries' are mere foolishness. They will surely develop dissension, and the way for a woman's party which would be disastrous to the body politic and to the best interests of the State and nation at large.

I hope before the next election that every Republican organization in Kings County will have opened its doors wide to the women and included them as a part of the political life of the districts. We wish to be partners, not adjuncts or ornaments." TRAVIS MAY HAVE 110,000 (Special to The Eagle.) Albany, November 8--According to late advices received by State ler Eugene M. Travis, of Brooklyn, his friends declare they are justified in assuming that his plurality will be at least 110,000. State Treasurer James L. Wells, of the Bronx, apparently led all the other Republican candidates in the number of votes received.

He estimates his plurality at 175,000, at least. Secretary of State Francis M. Hugo, of Watertown; State Engineer and Surveyor Frank M. Williams of Goshen, Senator Charles D. Newton ot Geneseo, the Republican candidate for Attorney General, estimating their vote from election returns at hand today, each lays claim to a minimum plurality of 50,000.
