NEW YORK, April . Prohibition
received a setback on Long Island
yesterday. Every town from the city
line to Montauk Point was carried by
the license Interests by from seventy
five to i0 votes. Kven Kasthanipton,
where, it Is said, there has not been
a barroom for more than 100 years,
or since ths people of the tonth had
the right to regulate their own excise
question, was carried by the "wets"
by more than 100 majority.
Southampton, "dry" for years, and
the town where there have been
many convictions for selling liquor by
stealth, declared for license by more
than 100 votes.
Rlverhead, where the bitterest fight
was made because of the Ill-feeling
engendered, was carried for license
by 100. Bouthhold's plurality Is est!
mated at 150. Shelter Island, a "dry'
town voted for the sale of liquor In
hotels end drug stores.
Huntington, Isllp, Hrookhaven, Da
bylon and Bmlthtown were all carried
by the liquor men by substantial ma
jorities. These ten towns make up
Suffolk county,

The battle to make Long Island a
