HOTEL CLERKS STAKEHOLDERS.

Between $8,000 and $10,000 is in the hands of clerks of the various hotels as wagers on the election, the bulk of the money having been put up by traveling men from the East on the result of the New York governorship race. None of the bets will be paid until after official returns are received.
In most instances the wagers were small, ranging from $25 downward, but there were a few amounts as high as $200 and $500. There was little betting by local men at any of the hotels owing to the fact that Republicans were unwilling to take chances on other than the national race.
