With the Added rote of m few
counties, the result in the senatorial
primary Tuesday Is unchanged. Senator
Simmons having about 26,000
majority.
No table is printed this, morning
because the changes since yesterday
were too inconsequential to make
necessary a new one. A few connties
have seat in their majorities, but
few of their total vote. It is therefore
impossible to say how many
votes were cast in the.senatorial pri-,

"Now get to the Battery and get mi
here quickly."
Af'the Battery ycfung Phelps made tit
Bqulriea for a tugboat. He explain- Kl
d that he wanted to be taken to the In
tush Terminal in Brooklyn, where un
he steamship Alice of the. Auslro- po
Ljnerlcan line was getting up steam pr
? sail. Tli
Phelps and his bride found a tug w<
nd started for Brooklyn In high
lee. Whether the trip abroad had ve
een decided upon suddenly or had sa
een ptenn^d well in advance it was be
npossible toH^aru. It was said last pr
ight, howeverTtlflR41**^^!) was the Pc
irect result of an electioneer Mrs. co
'helps having made a wager with ab
ler husband of a trip to Europe that fa
Wilson would be elected.
The two were up late Tuesday
light and when there was no longer 01
loubt of Wilson's victory they hetan
to pack their trunks. It is said
ilso that Phelps acting on his wife's
id vice won $2,000 in etcction bets,
fie had no time to collect thee*; but
le had ample funds as he has laid m
jy part of the *8,000 a year he re- tb
:eives for the work he does for his R
father, Anthony Phelps of Phelps lc
3ros. & Co., agents for the Austro- ,.j
nmerlcan steamship line. t0
Ten days after their marriage, .,j
s-hen Mr. and Mrs. Phelps. Sr.. were'
not inclined to receive the chorus
jirl bride of their twenty-slx-year-old ^
ion, the young woman made a posi- ^
tive announcement that unless she ^
was takon on a honeymoon trip she
would return- to the stage.
The fact that the couple sailed on
>ne of the Phelps ships and that on V
their arrival at- the Bush Terminal
Lhey found the captain's suite awaiting
them tends to show that Mr.
Phelps. Sr., countenanced the wedding
trip.
Asked last night at his home. No. V
Bll West One Hundred and Four- tl
teenth street, if his son and daugh- i>
ter-in-law had sailed on the Alice, t<
Mr. Phelps replied: o
"I am not going to discuss my e
son's affairs in the newspapers. 1 A1
will neither confirm nor deny that A
they have sailed."
It was from the Park avenue house t<
that news ol the Bailing came. For i.
the last hree weeks young Mr. and a
Mrs. Phelps have been occupying a a
handsome apartment there. He did n
not ask any one to keep the trip to
Europe secret. The maid left in p
charge of the apartment was told to s
expect her employers back about m
January 1. Others iff the house were e
tojd the same thing. c
The marriage of young Phelps and a
the chorus girl In the latter part of i
September waa as unexpected as their
trip abroad. He met Miss White c
about eighteen months ago, when he ]
was at Betta's Academy, preparing 1
j (rather late in life) to enter Yale, i
