GONE HOME TO VOTE
NEW YORK CITYS POLITICAL
HEADQUARTERS DESERTED.
Chairman Thacher Wants the Whole
Earth Except Erie County-His
View of the Case Not Sustained by
Men Who Have Money to Bet
Watching the Weather.

New YORK, Nov. 5-"Oa the eve of
battle" Resting under arms" and SINH
lar phrases were current at the various
political headquarters today. Most OF
these places were almost deserted as many
of the managers have gone nome to vote.
An exception TO the rule was the case of
Chairman Hackett, at the Republican
state headquarters in the Fifth aven ue
hotel, who. having paired votes with =
friend in Utica, will remain here until
i:f er election. He said today that nothing
had occurred 10 change the estimates
OF Republican success already N ide
public. On the other hand, Chairman
Thacher, at Democratic state headquart-
ers. before leaving for Albany this after
noon, gave out an estimate That Morton
would nor have more than 40 0O0 plurality
above the Harlem river ana that u over
come this. Hill would nave pluraliti-s of
over t0O0O III this city, at least 10 900 in
Kings county aud fton 1000 to 200 in
X chmond county. Mr.. Teacher admitted
however, :nat Erie county, which the Hill
men have bren claiming by some ) 600
votes, WAS at best doubtful.
Confident claims made by both sides
or the local issues. The supporters of the
Com mittee of Seventy ticket predict that
Tammauy will be drowned by tidal
wave" and say that for this reason all
estimates of figures on the local Result are
worthless.
At the headquarters of Hugh ]. Grant
this afternoon the Tammany candidate
for mayor issued statement In which he
asserts that tomorrow the Democrats of
the city Of New York will give an over
whelming plurality for the state ticket
headed by David B. Hill and the county
ticket headed by myself"
l..
mayorality on Jan. l, pledged only TO give
offices to men who Can aud will administer
them for the public good" and adds: BE
ing Democrat, l shall use Democratic
means to do whatever the public needs TO
have done"
Mr.. Grant declares that the Lexow COM
mittee has finally thrown aside the cloak
of anxiety for the public good and has ap-
peared, just as the Fasset committee ap-
peared IN the week before election day In
1890, as an utterly partisan Repub lIcan
body"
Among other statements which the
Grant headquarters made today was one
hat the members of the Hebrew order of
IL MAI IL RIJh were working against Mr..
Beekman, the Seventy's candidate for
Judge OF The supreme court on the ground
that he had cast SUR on their race by
saying: The action of such people Is
contemplate" when a committee of he
order appeared before he legislature last
year Ia ask that the home for aged aud iu-
firm Hebrews in Yonkers be exempted
from taxation.
In predicting today the success of the
anti-Tammany ticket Campaign Manager
Jerome OF the Committee of Seventy said
he believed the voters would get to the
polls early and he was sure that in this
event the Seventy's candidates would win
by Overwhelming msJ Orities.
Great interest is takrn by all politicians
and by voters generally in the subject of
the weather tomorrow. Despite Ioday's
torn, the weather bureau predicts clear
and cooler weather for election day and il
Is believed that the fulfillment of this pre-
diction will be worth thousands OF votes TO
the Republicans.
All important step was taken today by
Superintendent Byrues, who ordered that
all policemen Oh duty at the polls tomor-
row shall be detailed to precincts where
they do not regularly belong. This, it is
believed, viii prevent improper acts by
the police under the influence of election
officers and Others with whom they are
personally familiar and friendly
There was Il good deal OF heavy betting
at the St. James aud other up town
hotels today and also in the Stock vx-
change circles. The general odds were
to on Morton as against Hill, and about
) to in favor Of Strong against Grant
OF course there was considerable variation
IN the terms Of the various wagers, but
the odds noted were about the average.
There was little betting on pluralities.
