claim the county by $4,000 and the city

governor of the state OF New York by
$4,000 plurality. The republicans may
get one congressman from Manhattan,

35 from Manhattan and the Bronx.
David b. Hill-This is going to be
another election like 1882, when the

above the Harlem. 1t is a landslide for
Van Wyck

publican ticket will go down to Spuyten

exceed 10000. This will be met by an
overwhelming democratic vote in
Greater New York. On Tuesday night
I expect to hear that the democratic
ticket has been elected by a majority
OF from $1,000 to Sc. 900.

lican state committee-Colonel Roose-
welt will win by 10000 majority.
