old master politicians of New York Tor

rlaim IL thai adopted by Messsis. Shcc-
han aud Croker. representing the Tam
many organization. which has the
practical endorsement of ihr betting
men about town. who have all along
br,n offering odds on Nan Wyck. The
claim. however. that the Tammany
ticket will receive 2so.o out of the
10000 votes registered In greater New
York Is secuted by other party lead
eis. Next To Tammany. the greatest
display Of confdence Is at republican
headquarters. where there seems Ia h''
"A grnuin. belief that General Tracy
will win. Seth Lows managers profess
la he confident and ihose of Gcorgr
satisfied. Whatever may be the actual
belief of the leaders. there is no dispo-
Eition Ia allow the hattie Ia go by de
fault. There arr Ia progress nightly
from three 10 hye hundred political
M, ings. This includes. Of coufs'.
the minor gatherings I'm ward club

irg certain old democratic leaders In
