NEW YORK. Nov. 7-Roosevelt money
came out In vast quantities today and DEM
ocrats soon demanded odds. Tonight it is
impossible 10 get bets except al 2 to 1 on
Roosevelt. Tammany leaders today gave
their followers tip not to bet on Van
Wyck- The feeling at Tammany han to-
night is decidedly gloomy, opinion having
shifted to Roosevelt as the probable win
ner. Politicians have just realized the ex-
tent OF the popular feeling against Croker
on account of his recent extraordinary ac-
tions and utterances. Roosevelt is a hot
favorite all over tonight, and for the first
time there Is genuine confidence among all
Republican leaders.
The last day before election marked a
wonderful change in the betting on the
guherna;orial race and the odds OF 10 TO
on Van Wyck which had prevailed for sew
eral days began to wobbie early In the
morning under pressure of Republican
money, until by noon even money offered
by Col. Roosevelts supporters almost went
begging. In the afternoon the odds switch
ed over to the Republican candidate. and
II to S and in some instances to l was
offered on his chances to win. A good
amount OF this money found takers, but
there seemed 10 be surplus OF Republican
money on the market and much of 1t went
urcared for.
Odds Shift From Van Wyck.
The frs, attack on the Democratic odds
began in Wall street in the morning. and
bets aggregating $4,000 were made n an

which were cheerfuily given.
About noon G. Fl. Dewitt went into Wall
street with s2eolo. which he offered at
10 10 on Van wyck. Some Of 1t was taken
but the names Of the bettors were not
made public.
