NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 7.-Politicians and ath-
letes are alike in one respect. namely,
that however active they may have been
in preparing for a contest, the eve of the
battle is devoted to rest and to giving
and receiving final instructions. The ex-
ception to the general rule was today
furnished by Theodore Roosevelt, the Re-
publican candidate for governor. who de-
voted the day to a tour that embraced
Allegheny. Chautauqua and Cattaraugus
and in the course of which he addressed
assemblies at thirteen towns
| Superintendent McCullach, of the met
ropolitan election district, processes to
have information of great deal of lille
gal registration. and number of ar
rests were made yesterday and today of
persons accused Of violating the law in
that regard. At least outwardly the po-
lice departments acting in harmony with
the election district deputies for the pre-
vention of fraud, although all Republi-
can newspapers do not hesitate to i'm
pugn the sincerity of Chief of Police
Devery in his attitude toward the super
intendent of elections. At each polling
place in the city tomorrow there will be
two police officers, and Superintendent
McCullagh will place his $50 deputies in
the localities most suspected as being
the scenes of colonization enterprises.
Mr.. McCullagh continues to assert his
belief that there will be trouble at some
polling places, especially in the Eighth
assembly district, which embraces some
of the hardest" streets in the city. On
the other hand. the police declare that
there is no basis for Superintendent Nc
Cullagh's outgivings and that trouble will
only arise in the event of inspection on
the part of state deputies. State Chair
man Odell left Republican headquarters
early in the day for his home m New
burgh, where he viii voTe tomorrow. His
latest prediction was that Colonel RoOse-
Welt will have a plurality of 5000 in the
state. At Democratic headquarters State
Senator McCarren said he was confident
Of Van Wyck's election by a plurality
anywhere from $500 to $1,000. Claims as
TO the state legislature were as widely
at variance as those regarding the state
ticket. the Republicans. however. evinc-
ing the greater degree of confidence No
opinion as TO the result in the congress
sional districts could be ELECTED a. either
the Democratic or the Republican head
quarters. The betting on the state ticket
is OF so uncertain n nature that IL IS
difficult to distinguish between the real
and the fictitious. i was said in the
street" during the afternoon that $1,000
had been brought there by a Democrat

an hour vas required 10 place half the
sum. In Democratic headquarters it was
alleged that the betting was even money.

where Republicans were mostly in evi-
dence II was given out that money had
been put up all the way from 10 10 and
