claim they could have placed $4,000 more
| if they had it.
| There was abundant evidence at both
| Republican and Tammany headquarters to-
! night that the two great political parties
are watching each other closely and that
| there will be abundant challenges made by
the Republicans at the polls tomorrow. On
the other hand, Tammany will stubbornly
contest the right of the men challenged to
vote.
1t was learned at Republican headquar-
ters that the warrants of Superintendent
of Election McCullagh will not be the only
| interference at the polls. The district cap
tains on both sides will be vigilant and
many challenges from this source are antici
pated. Every registered man who has not
come up to the required standard of the
censors will be challenged and made to
swear in his vote.
Tammany leaders charge that Superin-
tendent McCullagh will make wholesale eff
| forts TO intimidate and preparations have
been made to meet this at every point. A
conference of the lawyers connected with
the district attorneys office was hid this
afternoon and evening in the criminal court
building and the matter was discussed and
some measure taken.
The Tammany law committee met in Cor
poration Counsel Whalen's office in the
afternoon and completed arrangements for
the assigning of lawyers to magistrates
courts to defend men brought in by the
election deputies were made.
State Superintendent McCullagh has un-
earthed a nest of Italians who he alleged.
have been guilty of procuring false papers
OF naturalization for many of their fellow
countrymen. On evidence secured through
his instrumentality they were arrested late
this afternoon, Rosario Calcenre, or Gala

and supposed labor contractors, on the
charge of having in their possession fraud
ulent naturalization papers. Warrants
were issued by Commissioner Shields of the
United States court and the prisoners were
locked up in Ludlow street Jail tonight and
later bailed out on S2500 each The inform
alton upon which these arrests were made
were furnished to Superintendent McCul
lagh through the alleged confession of one
Nicholla Farrello, who was suspected by the
superintendent of being engaged in the
wholesale procurement of false citizenship
papers for Italians.
| The following ante-election predictions
were made tonight:
| Democratic-Richard Croker: We claim
the county by $4,000 and the city by 9S, 800
| Van Wyok will be elected governor of the
state of New York by $4,000 plurality. The
Republicans may get one congressman from
Manhattan and perhaps not even that one,
and not more than four assembymen out
Of the thirty-fve from Manhattan and the
Bronx.
David B. Hill: This is going to be another
election like 1882, when the Democrats car
ried not only New York and Brooklyn, but
the rest of the state above Harlem. 1t is
landslide for Van Wyck,
Senator Edward Murphy, Jr.: The Re-
publican ticket will go down to Spuyten
Duyvil creek with a majority not to exceed
10000. This will be met by an overwhelm-
ing Democratic vote in New York City.
expect the Democratic ticket to be elected
| by from 10000 to $4,000.
| Chairman p. H. McCarren Of the Demo-
cratic State Executive committee: Van
Wycll will be elected and his plurality will
approximate 10000 He will get 100000 in
Greater New York.
| Republican--Thomas c. Platt: Colonel
Roosevelt's election and the election of his
associates on the state ticket is assured be-
yond the shadow of a doubt. He will have
100000 plurality or more.
| BENJAMIN II. Odell, Chairman Republican
State committee: Colonel Roosevelt will win
| by 10000 majority.
! Chauncey NJ. Depew: From my expert
ence of years in this sort of campaigning,
have no hesitation in saying that the cleo
ton of Roosevelt is as certain as if it were
all over now.
L. E. Quigg: 1t looks to me as ifRoose-
velt might have 100000 plurality.
| There is no apparent reason for believing
that the Democratic ticket will not be elect
ed from top to bottom. Estimates of plur-
alities vary so much that an impartial OBJ
server is at sea.
