That's tho idoa her campaign was begun with

There were not 30 May long faces Mt the
Wigwam yesterday as tho day before, but that
was because there were fewer fRces. Those
that were there wore serious enough
expressions. The absence of some of the
leaders with mournful countCnances wns
accounted for by tho fact that Richard
Croker called at the hall and told them that they
could do better work for the Van Wyck cause
by going home TO their districts and whooping
1t up for the ticket than by hanging about in
Fourteenth street cruaking about impending
disaster.
Mr.. Croker gave these woful ones n sample of
campaign argument to be advanced when all
hope is gone. with II cheerful smile he said:
"lf this campaign were to last three days be-
yond Nov. . there would be no opposition to
Van Wyck left. The George movement is fast
disintcgrating. 1t now includes only a few of
his personal followers. There is not the slightest
doub' OF tho election of Van Wyck by an over
whelming plurali y"
AS soon AS ho had made this rosy prediction
he issued orders TO attack tho poor, broken

said that II MIR. Croker Is 30 anxious
for statements publicly made by tho
situation they VIII Rvo tho closest estimates
they possibly can. even II it hurts. Those who
made these threats are members OF the Execu-
tive who have been breathing
threats against Croker ever since his return
from Europe. They are the leaders who believe
him to be responsible for the defeat Of Van
Wyck. which they fully expect.
These district leaders who are called on to
make predictions tomorrow said Yesterday that
they were afraid that they could not predict n
big enough Low vote to satisfy Mr.. Croker. One
OF them said:
These Low boomers are suffering from \
form of political hystcria. They have a fixed
idea that their candidate is going to win, or that
he will poll n tremendous vote. The investigH-
ton by T"mnsny Hall of this so-called Low
sentiment has developed nothing sensational.
The worst feature OF 1t that l have
noticed is this-that hundreds OF Germans who
said three weeks ago that they wcro for Van
WICK are now for Low. You can find them
