THEY EXPECT
A VICTORY.
Candidates For Mayor of
New York Sanguine.
THE FIGURES GIVEN OUT,
According to Them Each One Of the
Nominees Will Win.
MR.. GRANTS PROGNOSTIcATION

New York, Nov. THE last estimates
and claims of the various candidates of
the Greater New York campaign were
given out today. Chairman Quigg for
the Republicans says the county commit.
tee confidently anticipates the election of
General Tracy and feels absolutely con-
fdent that Seth Low will not carry a
single assembly district in the present
city of New York.
According to Mr.. Quigg the ratio of
votes as between ,Tracy and Low will
be 3IS to /, and he expects Tracy to poll
total of 200, 600 votes.
Ex-Mayor Hugh j. Grant, who is Judge
Van wycks manager. issued n state
ment, in which he estimated the Demo
cratic candidates total vote in Greater
New York at 10000. or these, he ex-
poets liS 600 in tho present city of New
York, "a, 800 in Brooklyn and :. 1916 in tho
boroughs OF Queens and Richmond.
Mr.. Grant in his forecast places the
Henry George vote at from 20, 600 10 %, .
600 and gives Tracy ana Low 225, 300 to
divide between them.
Charles Streckler for the Citizens
Union. claims u plurality of $1,000 for
Low over Van Wyck in the present city
OF New York, and in support thereof,
gives figures from each assembly district,
which he says are based upon actual can
vnsses made by Citizens Union workers.
He added that certificates aud vouchers
signed In all cases by the men who made
the canvasses, are on file at Low head-
quarters. At the George headquarters, q
detailed statement by Assembly districts
was given out to show thatGeorge will have
81, 600 votes in the boroughs of Manhat-
as.h hA Hmm 20
made of the Brooklyn vots. but unless
an extremely large one for George is ex-
pected from that quarter it would appear
from the "a, 600 estimate that the Jeffer-
sonian Democracy leaders do not claim
the election Of their candidates.

o crowd Of men and boys gather around
to see him perform his tricks.
The favoriCe time is when his master
is in a building collecting packages;
then the boys gather round and the fun
begins. Somebody lays a penny on the
ground directly under the horse. BY
some instinct he knows it is there. POk-
ing his head under his body he gets his
eyes on it and then comes the monkey
business.
The first act in the trick is to push
the wagon back. This he does gently
until the penny is between his fore feet.
Down upon his knees he then drops
slowly. gently, taking care not TO ctrain
the harness, until his long nose touches
the cold metal. 1t takes a lick or two
to pick it up but he gets it every time.
and as gently as he stopped down. he
rises TO his feet again and pulls the
wagon along to where it was before.
For an apple the horse stretches out
his fore feet and puts his head down
low enough TO get it. Sometimes he al
most lies down, with his head between
his forelegs, like dog, but he gets the
apple.
