HARTFORD, Conn.,, March 30, 1911
Without going into the realms OF prophecy with
regard to the probabilities OF Connecticut following
the example Of New Hampshire, can give the
readers OF the HERALD insight as to the result Of
the coming election here from sources which,
though they may be partly Of gossiping nature,
are well enough sustained By facts and
figures by close calculation and accurate observar
ton, to be deemed reliable. First Of all. you must
not :rust the boastngs OF the local party Journals
nor the correspondents OF the metropolitan partisan
press-the Tribune, for example, which. while vr.
tually admitting that the republican chances OF
success In Connecticut are very low, can find no
better reason for than that the republican voters
have been bought up by the money Of Tammany.
THE STATE TICKET.
As / mentioned In my despatch last night, the
canvass Of voters Is nearly complete, and may add
that the canvass has been very thorough. The re-
turns from oil parts OF the State would seem to
establish the election or Governor English and the
whole democratic State ticket, including Lieutenant
Governor Secretary OF State, Comptroller and all
by larger majority tnan that OF 1870, which was
only eight hundred. They talk now OF nearly two
thousand-ths time big boast, however. All those
chickens are not hatched yet.
