The people had the choice of marking their papers m favor of 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or Uo clock, the lastnamed being the present hour of closing and it was announced that a majority of all the votes cast would be necessary to effect any change. Ah expected, the referendum resolved itself jnto p, contest between the 11 o'clockers and the 6 o'clockers, and the latter won by 96,000 votes to. 60.000 The. inter mediate hours totalled only 16,000 votes, so that ' there was a- clear, majority of 20,000 m favor of 6 o'clock .over all the other figures put together.
