Oniciai Figuring.
NEW YORK. October 3l.-The Demo.
cratic State Committee has begun to DO
some figuring. John Boyd Thacher said
to-day that If Hill gets 5000 majority be
low 10 Harlem river he Will be elected. II
New York. Kings. Queens. Suffolk. ant
Richmond counties give him only this ma
tority. his victory is assured, Mr.
IndtNtG says. lit tNll''NAo .'iDl Aosl
majority above the Harlem to be only
1000. Senator Hin, he says, would gel
n majority Of 22.00O in Albany, and would
poll a big vote in Syracuse.
These figures. however do not agree
with the statement Of Chairman Hackett
of the Republican State Committee. who
said to-day that Morton would come tc
the Harlem river with at least lO,0G
votes 10 spare.
1t was said at Democratic State head
quarters to-day that w. Bourke Cochran
who is stumping the state for Hlll, had
broken down. and would cancel his en-.
gagements. II is said his throat trouble
has broken out again.
