WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-On the eve
of one of the most important political
UUIYresus IN the history OF the United
States, when forty-two Of the forty
five states Of the Union will hold elecr
tions, both great parties are making
claims as to the probable results in the
various states. but the Democrats seem
to be most confident OF heavy gains
and victories in hitherto doubtful
states. In New York the Democratic
made no effort in the field today, while
the Republicans were out pleading with
voters for their support. This is taken
as additional evidence of the confidence
Of the Democracy that the pivotal state
will return Judge Van Wyck as its
choice for governor. Democratic lead
ers are conservative, but confident,
while the Republicans make general
claims Of unexpected major1ties. The
Republicans are also charging Illegal
registration and arrests have already
been made on that score. The Demo-
cratic managers in New York are pre-.
pared to meet this issue In the courts,
promptly, and the effect Of it will
thereby be neutralized.
FehhSylNdhla, WITH us usual dig Re'
publican majorities, is conceded to be
In doubt. In Iowa, where a week sincs
the Republicans claimed $4,000 major
ity, the figures have now dwindled to
10000, and the admission is made that
the Democrats may make congressional
gains. In the Western and North,
western states the Democrats will, il
is believed, make substantial gains. In
the Southern states there are promised
increased majOritIes for the Democratic
tickets. Results may differ from fore,
casts, but the latter are decidedly
favorable to the Democrats.

ception, to hear and shout for Lind.

From the Sixth, Mr.. Lind went into
the Seventh ward, addressing a. fine
gathering at Kline's hall in the center
Oh ward once formerly STRONGLY Re-
publican.
This, too, in view Of the fact that II
was approaching IL o'clock when Mr..
Lind arrived, speaks volumes for the
enthusiasm which inspires the reform
forces in Minneapolis, and, when still
later, he drove down into the Twelfth
Ward and found, at Twenty-sixth ave-
nue. and Twenty-f1fth street, a goodlv
audience still waiting for him. there
was every reason for Mr.. Lind to feel
that he had put in a highly successfuI
night.
Alderman Lars M. Rand, in whose
ward, the Sixth, the fight was, per-
haps, the hottest, said at midnight that
there would not be a. Republican elect

even except Loren fletcher. That

sweep the city and county, he said.
was a certainty.
James Gray and other speakers fol-
lowed or preceded Mr.. Lind at all
these meetings and kept the pot boil
ing all night
HIS SPEECH WAS BRIEF.
MIR. Lind's speech was well timed. as
IL mad to be, for Ed w. Murphy cut
MIN off at the expiration of his time
With Czar Reed-like insistance. The
ADDRESS was a brief declaration of ths
need for reform in local matters which
was far more important, in his iude-
ment, at this time, than any express
sion by the people of Minnesota as to
City building in Manila or jollifcation
in Spain.
Instead Of building more cities In
the Philippines said Mr.. Lind, "let us
devote little time to saving a few
! cities right here at home'
Mr.. Lind urged that the entire
ticket be ardently supported In ordel
that he might have assistance in his
eforts to reform state evils, but pledg-
ed himself to strict accounting In the

accomplished by the union forces Ha

NEW YORK, Nov. 7. Politicians

The exception to the general rule was

who devoted the day to a tour that
embraced Allegheny, Chautauqua and
Cattaragus, and in the course of which
he addressed assemblages at thirteen
towns.
The polls will open at o'clock a. m.
and close at p. m. In Greater New
York there are 1913 election districts,
and in the rest of the state 1922. The
districts in Greater New York are di-
vided among its five boroughs, as fol-
lows: Manhattan, S11; Brooklyn 516:

only arise in the event Of indiscretion
on the part of state deputies.
Chairman ODel1 left Republican
headquarters early in the day for his
home in Newbergh, where he will vote
tomorrow. His latest prediction was
that Col. Roosevelt will have a plural
ity of $4,000 in the state.
At Democratic headquarters State
Senator McCarren said he was conf
dent of Van Wyck's election by plu-
rality anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000.
Claims as to the state legisIat ture
were as widely at variance as those
regarding the state ticket, the Repub-
licans, however, evincing the greater
degree of confidence. No opinion as
to the result in the congressional dis
tricts could be ELECTED at either the
Democ1htic or Republican headquar-
ters, the questions being met with the
statement in both cases that the state
campaign had occupied the entire at
tention Of the state committees.
Betting is widely fictitious. 1t was
said In the street this afternoon that
$4,000 had been brought there to bet
at to 10 on Van Wyck, and that an
hour was required to place half the
money. AT Democratic headquarters
it Was said that betting was at even
money, in some cases 8 to 10 on Van
Wyck, while at Republican congre-
eating places 1t was said that bets
were being made all the way from
to 10 to 2 to 1 on Roosevelt.
The registration in Greater New
York this year is 10000 less than last
year, and the voting is liable to be IL
per cent less than lost year. The vote
then was 1000. Whether the vote
decrease will be felt most by the Dem
ocratic party depends upon the effect
of the efforts Of the Republicans to
make Richard Croker and Tammany
hail an issue Of the campaign. The
weather is never 80 much q factor in
the city hs up the state, and, there
fore, there is, with the promise Of a
fair day, likely to be larger vote In
the interior, proportionately, than in
Greater New York. This considera-
ton may be regarded as favorable to
the Republican ticket.
There were abundant evidences at
both Republican and Tammany county
headquarters tonight that the two
great political parties are watching
each other closely, and there will be
abundant challenges made by the Re-
publicans at the polls tomorrow On
the other hand, Tammany will stub

closed. Each Of the three leading can

votes for election, according to the
claims tonight Of the respective parties
Aside from these claims, the county
reports indicate a plurality for Stone,
the Republican candidate, but with the
expected total of 100000 votes and
possible cutting this estimate may be
found incorrect. The Democrats pre-
sent a harmonized party, the different
factional leaders having been brought
to Jenks' support within the past
month or six weeks. While DIR. SwaI-
low will undoubtedly receive a heavy
vote, there are indications OF a falling
off in the Swallow following in conse-
quence of the recent Developments of
Increased prospects for the success of
jerks. Some prominent independent
voters have, in the last few days, an
nCunced their intention to support
jerks, believing that in doing so they
could make better possible the over
throw of the Republican machine
1t is expected that about 1000, 900
votes will be cast In the state. The
Republican and Democrat state chair
men concede Swallow from $50, 900 to
200, 600 votes, and each claims that his
respective candidate will be the only
one to receive over 10000 votes. The
Republican chairman claims 191, 900
plurality for Stone, while the Demo-
cratic chairman figures out plural
ity of $4,000 for jerks, and the Prohi-
bition chairman claims $1,000 plurality
for Swallow.

WORCESTER, Mass, Nov. 7.-Early
today a. posse Of citizens of North
Grafton surrounded a gang of bur-
glars, who had broken into the post
office, and captured two and killed one
of the robbers. George Allen, who
lives near by, discovered the burglars,
and, leaving his house through rear
window, alarmed Amos GetcheE and
William Getchell, who are both consta-
bIes, and several other men. They
surrounded the postoffice and found
three men on the outside Of the build
ing. Both the burglars and citizens
opened fire with revolvers. and, after
some brisk shooting, the robbers fed.
Subsequently, the dead body of one Of
them, apparently a F'renchman, was
found in field near by. Entering the
building, two other burglars were
found and captured. They were arm
ed The prisoners were taken to West
boro for preliminary hearing in the
