are the programme for the week OF the
half score parties contesting for the
honors in the election that is to be held
IN Greater New York on Tuesday next.
The message said 10 have been sent by
the George!te leaders to w. ], Bryan to
give the weight OF his influence and ell
oauence in aid OF the Jetfersonlan nom-
inee is regarded as a partial admission
that their cause is not in as hopeful a
condition as those leaders have repre-
sented 1t to bo, The time Is so short
that 4; Is scarcely TO be expected that
Mr. Bryan will he inducer to respond.
As stout claim as has been made for
the Republican ticket is that put forth
by General Tracy, the nominee for
mayor. He asserts that there are In
Greater New York 100000 people who
vote the Republican ticket year in and
gear out: that Low Is the only one OF
tho candidates who VIII draw at all
from the Republican vote and that he
cannot take away more than eight per
cent OF the regular Republican vote.
which would leave in round figures
10000 votes for Tracy. while whoever
receives as many as 175.00O OF the half
million ballots that are likely to be
cast is morally certain OF election
The betting which continues light.
shows no material change OF heart on
the part Of those who put their money
on the result OF Tuesdays election.

offered on even terms.
Jacob Worth. the deposed leader Of
,he Brooklyn Republican organization,
emerged to-day from the seclusion In
which he has been enve1oped the last
,brtnght and predicted the defeat Of
General Tracy.
Following a long caucus of Republl-
san district leaders to-day, President
pulgg, OF the Republican committee.
save out the following statement: "The
Republican organization has carefully
ranvassed the vote In every election
district OF every borough in the new
rity. Several assembly districts have
been canvassed two times and some
have been canvassed three. Each OF
these repeated canvasses shows that
Tracy's strength is growing and that
Lows support which has never been
large, becomes smaller every day.
There are only two districts in New
York City In which Mr. Low will have
any substantial Republican support,
These are the Nth and the Goth. In the
18th he will not have 1000 votes, and
three-quarters of what he does will be
Democratic. The proportion or Demo-
cratic votes to Republican votes In his
support holds good In the 2ist, the 23rd,
the 25th and the 3ist. and the trans
Harlem districts. In all those districts
they being districts out OF which prac-
tically the whole OF the Low vote will
be drawn, the net effect OF Mr.. Lows
candidacy will be to increase the ma
jorities OF the Republican party over
Van wyck. Lows vote will be smaller
than Won wyck's In each district We
shall carry New York for Tracy by Just
about the plurality over Van Wycl'
which was obtained by Governor Black
last year over Porter.
I'm Brooklyn, the situation ls slmi-
lar to the situation in New York, but
the proportion OF Democrats 70 Reppb-
llcans In Lows following will natural
ly be smaller than Il is here. There the
proportion win be about half ana half.
THE plurality for Tracy over Van
wyck will be greater In Brooklyn than
in New York and is likely to reach 4O,-
900. Lows vote Will leave the two
great parties as 10 comparative
strength in Just about their normal
conditions but Georges vote Will So
reduce van wyclt's as to give us Tor
Tracy flrst rate plurality. On the CON
dluons as they exist to-day Low
might have in Brooklyn as many aa
$4,000. or. to be liberal, $4,000 votes.
But his Republican support Is rapidly
failing away from him. There are
thousands OF Republicans who have
been mlsled by the New York Tribune
and the New York Mall and Express,
into the idea that Low has u chance OF
election. They arc finding out now
,hat thir Idea "a prepostcrous and that
II Ia being circulated by these newspa-
pers maliclously and dishonesty This

nj result that che mas Is going out OF
