Prosnects in New .Jeraev.

Trenton, N. j., Nov. Ain New Jersey
tomorrow a governor, senators and the
whole sixty assemblymen will be elected.
There are five candidates for governor,
but those of the prohibitionsts, peoples
party and socialists will probably not re-
ceive over 10000 votes combined. The
republican leaders are claiming the cleo
ton of John w. Griggs by pluralities
ranging from 5000 to 100000 and they
make statements by counties. The demo-
cratic leaders claim that Chancellor Nc
Gill will be elected by the normal demo-
cratic plurality of 1000 to 5000, but they
decline to furnish a statement in detail
Conservative men of both parties believe
Griggs will be elected.
State senators will be chosen in At
lantic, Cumberland, Mercer, Ocean, Ber-
gen, Morris and Hudson counties. The
republicans expect to elect in all but the
last three, with a chance of carrying all
the Hudson.
The next senate will be republican, as
there are eleven republicans who hold
over.
The complexion of the assembly will
depend on the governorship. The re-
publicans now claim from thirty-four to
thirty-seven members.

HORSE AND HORSE.
Judge Giegerich Says It Is, and Judge BischOff
Says the Law Is Not Consttu-
tional.

New York, Nov. 4.-The general term of
the court of common pleas today handed
down two different opinions on the con-
stitutionality of the Percy Gray racing
law. Judge Giegerich, in long opinion,
sustains the constitutionality of the law,
holding that the statute permitting
sweepstake racing and authorizing the
enforcement of contract is in my judg-
ment clearly in harmony with both the
letter and spirit of the constitutional
amendment in question"
Judge Bischoff holds that the law is
unconstitutional. The case was heard
before the June term of the court, when
only Judge Giegerich and Judge Bischoff
were sitting The general term today
ordered a reargument of the case. De-
csons were rendered In the case of Hen
ry c. Hudson against the Flushing Jockey
club. Hudson sued the Jockey club in the
first judicial court to recover the sweep
stake purse of 500, which his horse
won and which the jockey club refused to
pay on the ground that the race was a
lottery, and therefore unconstitutional
Judge Lynn, in the district court, held
that the race was a lottery and gave
Judgment in favor of the jockey club
Hudson appealed from this decision and
Judge Giegerich wrote an opinion de-
claring the law unconstitutional. Judge
Bischoff differed from him and the case
will be reargued before the general term
of the court of common pleas.

THE RACES.
The Wild Huntsman Case Has Been Finally De-
cided Against the Horse and His
Owner.

Cincinnati, Nov. 4.-The judges of the
Latonia race track, after a thorough in
vestigation, which included a trip to st.
Louis by Presiding Judge Carter, rem
dered decision in the Wild Huntsman
case today. The horse is disqualified
and the three moneys are awarded TO the
second, third and fourth horses-Silurnia,
Momos and Clinton. No further entries
will be received from A. j. Stafford, in
whose name Wild Huntsman ran. 1t
was shown that Bill Brannan, who has
been outlawed, has been interested in the
horse within the last two months IL he
is now not his present owner. Stafford
still protests his innocence of any connec-
ton with Brannan, and should he be able
to show this statement to be true he
would be put in good standing. 1t was
ladies' day at Latonia today and the at
tendance was immense. The weather
was fine and the track dead and rather
slow. Wiley Jones went down with New
com in the last race, but was not serious
ly hurt. Summaries:

ELECTION PREDICTIONS.
Governor Campbell Has Good Fighting Chance
in 0hio-860 Republican Speeches
We're Made

Columbus, O., Nov. 4.-The electors of
Ohio will tomorrow choose a governor,
treasurer, auditor, judge and clerk of the
supreme court, acknowledgement. at
torney-general, member of the state
board of public works and full general
assembly. The election of the latter is of
special Importance, as 1t will elect a
successor to Senator Brice. The cam
paign has been a hot one and fought with
unusual vigor on both sides. The re-
publican state committee states that $50
speeches were made under its directions
and fully that many were made on the
democratic side. Ex-Governor Campbell
himself made fifty-five speeches. On the
democratic side state issues have been
adhered to and the republicans have been
vigorously assailed on the ground of cor
ruption in the legislature and extraVa-
gance in Governor McKinley's admins
tration. Besides defending themselves
from these charges the republicans have
attacked the democrats upon national
grounds, claiming that the question of
the return of Senator Brice raised
national issue. Governor Mckinley has
freely embraced the opportunity to urge
in his speeches the necessity of increasing
the tariff rates. In 1892 the republicans
carried the state by 1912. In 1893 Gov
ernor McKinley's plurality was So,995.
Last year the republican plurality rose
to the Unprecedented figure Of 1908.
This however, was upon total vote or
776,819 In 1892 the total vote was S61. 626:
full vote is expected tomorrow and
probably $4,000 ballots will be cast. The
republicans concede that their plurality
will drop back this year to the normal
figure-from $4,000 to 10000. The demo-
Gratis claim that 1t will be wiped out and
that Ex-Governor Campbell will be elect
ed by 10000. The committee chairman
will make no estimates however. The
democrats base their hope of success on
opposition within his own party to Ex-
Governor Foraker, whose factions Sc
cured control of the convention at Zanes-
Vile and dictated the nomination of
General Bushnell. They expect that the
element of the republican party that &C
complished the defeat of Governor Fora
ker six years ago will vote against his
faction now. This hope is strengthened
by the fact that the democrats of Gin
cinnati seem to be harmonious and that
there is general apathy in the western re-
serve, the Gibraltar of the republicans.
Both parties are claiming the legislature.
There seems to be little ground upon
which to base an intelligent prediction
as TO this

Prospects in Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-David Martin,
the republican leader in Philadelphia, was
shown an article contained in a New
York paper today setting forth that the
anti-Quay and Harrison men have inau-
gurated a movement to strike down Sem
ator Quay and that fund of 100000 has
been guaranteed for use by those who
are to direct. The article further stated
that the movement was started In Phila-
delphia last night at a private dinner.
which was attended by most of the men
who were arrayed against Quay in his
last fight of two months ago.
After carefully reading the article Mr.
Martin said: That's all stuff. No such
dinner was held and there Is not word
of truth in it.
The gentleman was asked what he
thought of the election and he replied:
II think we will poll IS per cent of our
vote of last November"
Then it will not give the republican
party $4,000 majority in Philadelphia"
inquired the reporter.
"At least $4,000 majority" was the re-
Spouse.

must hang again, says the supreme court.
Two years ago, 1t will be remembered,
Purvis was hung, but because either of
the sheriff's duplicity or carelessness the
condemned man went through the door to
the ground when the trap was
sprung, the loop having slipped over his
head. The sheriff declared his belief in
supernatural Intervention and SO did
thousands of spectators, many of whom
were relatives and friends of Purvis,
and no further attempt at execution was
bad. But a new trial was secured and
another conviction follows.
There is great opposition to a second
hanging of Purvis, who was convicted on
circumstantial evidence, and strong
measures will be brought on the governor
to commute the death sentence.

Tammany Will Win.

New York, Nov. 4.-The election in
New York state tomorrow will be for
state officers, with the exception of gov
ernor. The battle in this city will be be-
tween the forces of good government,
represented by the union ticket, and the
followers of Tammany hall. The union,
or fusion county ticket, contains the
names of republicans and leaders of the
New York state democracy, which is
bitterly opposed to Tammany Hall. The
democratic state ticket however, has
been Endorsed by the state democracy,
and it is believed will receive the sup
port of the different factions.
The campaign in this city closed to-
night without any extraordinary demon
stration. Tammany Hall leaders predict
that its county ticket will be elected by
from 10000 to 10000 majority, while the
fusion ticket managers are just as conf
dent that Tammany will not return to
power. Both sides declare that they will
carry the state by comfortable MAORI
ties.
In Brooklyn the local campaign has
been lively from the beginning. There are
three candidates for mayor: Sheppard.
Independent democrat Grout, regular
democrat, and Wurster, republican. Re-
publicans believe that Sheppard will get
enough votes from Grout to elect Wur-
ster, while CIRCUITS managers feel conf
dent that the republican ranks will be
depleted by Sheppard to such an extent
as to cause the election of the regular
democratic candidates. Sheppard it is
conceded has no prospects of being elect
ed. The probabilities are that Wurster
will poll within a few thousand of the
full republican vote and be elected. AS
in New York city the Brooklyn democrats
are united on the state ticket.
Betting in New York.
New York, Nov. 4.-The betting on the
result of the election is very light at the
hotels and in sporting circles tonight.
But few betting men who wished to wa
ger their money were about the Fifth Av-
enue hotel, the Hoffman house, st. James
hotel and the Gilsey house, where in
former years there was always big
crowd.
At midnight the odds stood at to 1 on
a republican state victory, while the
Tammany contingent fought shy on the
result in the state, but confined them
selves to the county. The odds offered
were to on the county, but there werel
no takers. Among some of the bets re-
corded are AL Smith bet Riley Grammar
$1,000 to $500 on Tammany's victory in
the county; George Morgan and r. A.
Anderson made bet of the same amount
on the same conditions and the same
odds; John Matthews and Gilmore made
two bets of 500 even on the result in the
state and county, Gilmore taking the Tam
many end; Billy Edwards put up $3.50
against Maj. Tom Williams $3.50 that
Tammany would win in the county, Ed
wards taking the Tammany end. Ed
wards also made several bets of $500 to
5000 on the same conditions. Late to-
night Ed Gilmore made another bet OF
$1,000 to $500 with Jack Mcdonald that
Tammany would have majority in the
county

half and claim that there is show for
the election of Babb because of defec-
tions from brakes following. 1t is
