New York City Police Commissioner Bingham writes to President Roosevelt that he has placed two undercover policemen to shadow a man. The man was returned home to his wife after no danger presented itself. The letter is likely referring to a primary election to vote for county committee members, state assembly members, and other elected offices across New York. Police were warned to guard against fraud in the election. The election was a contest for the loyalty of the Republican party to Roosevelt or to lobbying interests represented by Lemuel Ely Quigg.
