BEVEESED BY NEGliOES Tow Districts Send Completo Bcports Brooklyn in tho Snmo Condition. N New York's first day of registration for the 1919 election was conspicuous chiefly, so far as tho early returns In- dicated, for tho failure of tho women voters to take advantage of their right of franchise. When the polls opened at S o'clock In the afternoon It was noticed that nearly everywhere men waiting to- - register outnumbered' the women three and four to one. This condition was borne out In the first figures to reach Police Headquarters last night after the registration places had closed. The first Assemblyxdlstrlct to return Its day's report complete was the Sixteenth of Manhattan. The report showed that the dlsti let's total regis- tration had been 2,190. Only 479 women registered, however, as against 1,711 men. Tho reports trickled into Police Head- quarters with unprecedented slowness. The police said this was due almost en- tirely to tho regulations which compelled, them to count the women registrants separately, Instead of treating them Just j;ko ordinary registrants or voters. At 1 o'clock this morning only five Assem- bly districts had made complete reports and It appeared as If the total figures for the city would not be available for many more hours, perhaps not until late In all of tho districts that did report, however, it was plain to the reg- istration clerks that the turnout of pros- pective voters was extraordinarily light Harlem's negro districts appeared to be the only place whero women outnum bered the men who registered. There the women showed up early In tho. eve- ning hours, and before the closing \hour approached in several Instances outnunv bered the men two to one. Brooklyn kept close pace wtlh Man- hattan so far as the scarcity of women registrants was concerned. The first district to report there was the Thir- teenth Assembly district It showed a total of 1,191 men and only 232 women. The Twenty-secon- d Assembly district, also Brooklyn, returns showed 2.3S1 men registered as against 609 women. Man- hattan's Second Assembly district regls-- jered 1,370 men and only 155 women, while the Eighth district had 1.1S7 men an9 223 women.

It Is a deliberately planned insurrection of tho negroes against the whites, di- rected by nn organization known as the 'Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America,'- established for the purpofe of banding negroes together 'for mo killing of white people. This union was stnrted by Robert L.
