Hughes Money Swamps Market in Washington.

Washington, D. C., Nov. I. Hughes money has swamped the betting market in Washington. Little Wilson money'is in sight, and Wilson backers are asking odds even greater than those reported from New York, according to hotel and club men here. Today a wager of S6OO to SSOO with Hughes the favorite, was placed. An offer of SI,OOO on Hughes at odds of 10 to 9 was not covered. ' Two newspaper men, each explaining that be is merely an agent, insist that they have an aggregate of $26,000 to place on Hughes at odds of 10 to/9 and can not find “coverers.”
