New YORK, Nov. Son the eve of
battle,' "Resting under arms" and
similar phrases were current at the va
riOus political headquarters today in the
place of news. Most of these places
were nearly deserted, as many of the
managers have left them for their
home districts, where they will work
and vote tomorrow.
An exception 10 the rule was the case
of Chairman Hackett, at the Republican
state headquarters, in the Fifth Avenue
hotel, who, having paired votes with
friend in Utica, will remain here until
after election. He said today that moth
ing had occurred to change the estimates
of Republican success already made
public. On the other hand, Chairman
Thacher, at Democratic state headquar-
ters. before leaving for Albany this aft
ernoon gave out an estimate that Nor
ton would not have more than 10000
plurality above the Harlem river, and
that to overcome tbs Hill would have
pluralities of over $4,000 in this city. at
least lO.0C0 in Kings county, and from
1.000 TO l, 200 i'll Richmond county. Mr..
Inacher admitted, however, that Erie
county, which the Hill meiI have been
claiming by some 1000 votes, was at the
best doubtful.
In Gotham.
Confident claims are made by both
sides in the local issue. The supporters
of the Committee of Seventy ticket pre-
dict that Tammany will be drowned by
tidal wave" and say that, for this
reason. all estimates of figures on the
local result are worthless. At the head
quarters of Hugh }. Grant this after
noon, the Tammany candidate for
mayor issued statement in which he
asserts that tomorrow the Democrats
of the city OF New York will give an
overwhelming plurality for the state
ticket headed by David B. Hill, and the
county ticket headed by myself"
He continues: Il shall assume the
mayoralty on Jan. pledged only to
give Offices to men who can and will ad-
minister them for the public good" and
adds: Being a Democrat. l shall use
Democratic means to do whatever the
public needs to have DONE"
Mr.. Grant declares that the Lexow
committee has finally thrown aside the
cloak of anxiety for the public good,
and has appeared, just as the Fassett
committee appeared in the week before
Section day in 1890, as an utterly
Partisan Republican Body.''
Among other statements at the Grant
headquarters today was that the mem
berS of the Hebrew order Of B'nai
Birth were working against Mr.. Beck
man, the Seventy's candidate for Judge
of the superior court, on the ground
that he had cast a slur on their race by
saying: 1.-The action of snch people is
contemplate" when a committee of,the
order appeared before the legislature
last year to ask that the home for aged
and infirm Hebrews, in Yonkers, be ex-
empted from taxation.
In predicting today the success of the
anti Tammany ticket, Campaign Mana
ger jerome, of the Committee of Seven
ty. said he believed the voters would
get to the polls early, and in this event,
the Seventy's candidates would win by
overwhelming majoritIes.
Great interest is taken by all politi-
clans and by voters generally in the
subject of the weather tomorrow. De-
spite t0day's storm, the weather bureau
predicts clear and cooler weather for
election day, and it is believed that the
fultillment of this prophecy will be
worth thousands of votes to the Repub-
hcans.
An Important Step
which will tend materially TO an honest
election was taken today by Syperin-
tendent Byrnes, who ordered that all
the policemen on duty at the polls to-
morrow shall be detailed to precincts
where they do not regularly belong.
This, it is believed, will prevent i'm
proper acts by the police under the in
fuence of election officers and others
with whom they are personally familiar
and friendly. There was good deal of
heavy betting at the St. James and
other uptown hotels today and also in
the stock exchange circles. The gen.
eral odds were to 2 OH 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.
