special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAB.
NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-There has probably
never been pleasanter election day In this
state than to-day. The warm sunshine In the
city and the dry roads in the country will bring
Out full vote, and q full vote in the country
districts increases the probabilities OF repub-
hcan success in the state. The election in this
city is progressing very quietly, but It is appa-
rent tnat q large vote is being polled. The chief
interest Is in the mayoralty contest Mr.. Roose-
Veits friends are working like beavers for him,
large number of young men having volun-
seereo TO work at the polls for him in the up
town or "brown stone'' districts. Reports
received at noon show that the republicans are
polling their usual vote, without any apparent
defections.
THE MACHINE MEN CUTTING ROOSEVELT.
The republican machine leaders are ostensibly
working for Roosevelt, but many Of them admit
privately that they do not think he will be
elected. Mr.. Hewttt's scouts have made tours
OF observations through the city and they re-
port that the democratic ticket will have
good plurality in spite Of the detection to
Henry George Probably more than two-thirds
OF the vote in the city was cast prior to one
O'Clock, the heaviest voting being In the early
hours of the morning.
There Is partial suspension of business in
this city. and large delegations of working men
are devoting their holiday to hard work for
Henry George.
GEORGES FORCES WELL ORGANIZED.
The old-time politicians were surprised this
morning by the comprehensive and systematic
organization OF the George forces. Every one
OF the S12 election districts is manned by
George workers, and in some Of the downtown
districts, where the bulk OF the population is
composed OF working people, George seems to
have decidedly the best of his com petitors. His
friends have hopes that he will be elected. The
republican and democratic politicians, how
eyer, are con1dent that the fight Is between
Hewitt and Roosevelt The cool and impartial
betting men are still giving small
ODDS THAT HEWITT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL
1t is quite probable that 100000 votes will
be cast, aud shrewd political figures calculate
that he will get about 100, 900 votes, leaving
the remainder to be divided between Roose-
welt and George, in the proportion of about two
to one. The votes on the state and congress
s sion tickets will probably not be as large in
this city as the vote for mayor; nevertheless a
very earnest fight is going on in some OF the
congressional districts. Allen Thorndyke Rice
republican, is making a very strong run against
Gen. +. b. Spinola, the Tammany candidate in
the tenth district That district is now repre-
scented in Congress by Abram s. Hewitt, aud it
Is one OF the kid-goved districts of New York.
Mr.. Rice's election is scarcely probable how
ever. In the eighth district Thomas +. Grady
Is running as an independent Jet1ersonian
democratic candidate against Congressman
Inn Campbell, who has the regular democratic
ana republican nominations. Grady declares
this noon that he will be elected.
Inc election OF subordinate city officers will
depend on the result of the mayOralty Contest
Indications favor the democratic candidates.
Judge Daniels is polling u very large vote in
this city, and IL now looks as though he would
pc elected judge of the court of appeals over
Judge Peckhan, the democratic candidate
Judge Daniels is getting unexpectedly large
vote from the laboring people. Several knights
OF Labor assem- blies are said to have secretly
advocated Daniels election. on the ground
that he began life AS a shoemaker while
Judge Peckham was born Of wealthy and aris-
tocratic parents.
The World, OF this city, surprised it's demo-
cratic readers this morning by expressing the
belief in its news columns that Judge Daniels
would be elected.
