NEW YORK CLOSE.
New York. Nov. 5.-tSpeciaD. There
are five State tickets in nomination in
New York, as follows:
ion. Socialist Labor and Prohibition
The Citizens Union vote is altogether
of unknown quantity, probably important
only if that of the two other parties shall
b eclose: that of the Socialist Labor party
may approximate 10000, while the Pro
hibition vote has not often been much in
excess of 10000; in total, sometimes as
nigh as high as 1900.
S@,Ar will hn
elected on Tuesday nexr. Legislature
that will choose a United States Senator
to succeed Edward Murphy, Jr. DEM
Thirty-four Representatives in Congress
will also be elected.
The Republican campaign has been an
aggressive one, and notable for the en-
ergy with which Colonel Roosevelt has
conducted his canvass
Judge Van Wyck pursued a very diff
ferent course His public addresses have
not exceeded ten, and these were deliy
cred at such places as Buffalo. Roches-
ter, Utica, Elmira, Albany and New
York.
The State Senate has membership Of
80. and the Assembly, of 100. AS at
present constituted, there is a RapuDli-
can majority of % on joint ballot. The
Republicans are disposed to conceda
reduction of their majority in the Leg
islature. but profess a confidence that
they will have working majority IN
both houses.
Democrats confidently expect to gain
three or more Congressman in districts
below the Harlem river. and possibly
as many in up State districts. Reonb-
licans do not feel sanguine of maintaining
the preponderance of 2S as against q
Democrats in the New York delegation
The registration in greater New York
this year, while not as heavy as last
year. gives promise Of a large vote.

Mahlon Barnes, Socialist Labor.
The followers of Stone. jerks and
Swallow are claiming with a considera-
BILE degree of confidence that their Ia
vorite will he elected. and there is every
indication that each of these three can
didates will receive a heavy vote.
Last year Swallow, the Prohibition
candidate for State treasurer. received
total vote of 10000. although the
normal Prohibition vote is only about
10000.
State Chairman Elkin tonight claims
that the Republican candidates will have
at least 100000 plurality.
The total vote in the State will ap-
proximate one million. On Tuesday

of the House and % Sena tors-half OF
