Tho cnd OF the last week but one Of the cam
palgn found things at high pressure in thu
Democratic Headquarters. Chairman Edward
Murphy. Jr.. who has boon here all the week
was 30 busy that he was unable to 20 home
last night as ho hnd planned tn do. Ho hopes

tend tho big meeting there on Tuesday even
ing. Tho sum total OF tho knowledge OF the
situation obtained by last weeks work was
stated by Mr.. Murphy last evening in mighty
few words. I'VE have got them BEATEN" said
he. "and that's all thore Is nbont It."
But 1t is nm open scorot TINT there will be
moro about 1t In day or two. Tho measures
taken to insure thorough knowledge Of the
way the vote is most likoly to go are so CON-
plete that tho Democratic campaign managers
can talk figures by tho middle OF this week.
Part OF the activity about tho headquarters
was due to tho detail work necessary to the
holding ofAO0 mass meetings In tho State last
| night. outside of those In New Yorl; and
Brooklyn. Other hustle was occasicned by
| the reception of callers, whose reports nro
cagerly welcomed as indicating how things
arc going. Tho reports yesterday were OF o
very interesting and optimistic character.

afternoon from u trip to Troy. whittier no had
