 NEW YORK, Nsr. G.-Tke most inter- eStns development ia New York on the eve of battle was the indictment found by tke local grand jury against Chief of Police William $. Devery sn the charge If interfering with the work sf State Superintendent ot Affections JsEn NcCallagh Chief Dcvery's sail was fixed, and arrangements have besR made for hearin. the case the day after the election. The indictment has attracted q great deal Of attention i'll political circles. The points involved appear to hinge up- on the ri.Ats of men to swear ln thelf votes when challenged by any of the dep utics Of the state superintendent of cleo lions. Tho legal aspects of the case are interesting Republican and Democratic leaders for the reason that it has been feared that clask might occur st the polls today between the S,OOO policemen and the 500 dc puties. At all the political headquarters, at tho oGce of the chief 0f police and at the Democratic club the censensus of opinion seemed to be that the election would prove quiet one de spite the differences of opinion between tke chief of police and the state Super1n- ten6ent unles. ths unexpected happens.
 Governor Roosevelt last night took cog nizance of the order issued by Chief Dev- cry ia relation to Superintendent McCul- Ia eh's deputies. In communication to Mayor Van Wyck the governor declared that he would hold tAe mayor personally resDonsible for breaches Of order, intiml- dation crimes against the election laws following upo2 the chiefs order. The governor also wrote to SheriG Grell and District Attorney Gardiner warning them not to fail in their duty in assisting in the enforcement of the election laws.
 Mayor Van Wych went from the Dem ocratic club wkcn he received the gsv- ernor's message to police headquarters and had long consultation With Chief Dcvery At the conclusion of the inter view the chief issued sn order ts the force resembling the order which had called forth the governors criticinm. Everywhere confidence is expressed that a full vote will be boiled, and Re pubIicans and Democrats t'like agree that more than 60O, GOO citizeI Ia in Greater New ' ork will today deposit their ballots for the men Of their choice. Indications are that the vote in the city will be at l least Go, COO larger than ever before Ill the | history of Greater New York.
 ! Generally speaking Republicans con- cede that Bryan will carry Greater New 1 York On the other hand Democrats ad- init that Mckinley will carry the state If l Greater New York is excluded. The diff | fcreuccs of opinion arise on the question | of the plurali,ies that the Demtcrats are 1 conceded in the metropolis and tAe Re | publicans are conceded iii the up state | districts.
 Chairman Frank Campbell of the state l Democratic committee and Chairman Me ! Gu;re of the state executive committee i are at their respective homes and Will not return until tomorrow. Secretary | Mason declined to make any statement i other th2n to repeat what the cha4rmen 1 had said that Bryan's election was as sured. Secretary Mason will receive and give out the returns at his party's head quarters in the St James building this i evening.
 At Republican national headquarters Joseph H. Manley, Senator Scott of West Virginia and Frederick $. Gibbs of | New York gave out the following state ments. Mr. Manley said;
 The national committeeman in this city after the receipt of teleGrans from | Chairman Hanna and various state com- mitteenen have nothing to add to the statement made public yesterday morn ing except to emphasize it. l do not share with some the opinion that Indiana i. entirely safe for us But we have no doubt ef Illi.eis. We shall certainly carry New Ysrk state by not less than 75 GOO majority, and l look fer some thing over 1Co,GCo majority. l antlcl- pate nc trouble ia this city. l believe Superintendent of Police Devary neaEa to give us fair election, ss he gave us q fair parade and as ke gave us protec- tion in eur meetings in this city l do net expect that we shall have any dehnite statement as to the result before 9:3O o'clock toEight."
 Senator gcstt of West Virginia repeat ed kis ferrser saAxuine statements.
 National Committeeman Gibbs said:
 The electieA will be fair. 1 anticipate DO trouble. The worst has been done, and it is my opinion that Mckinley will have not less than 259 votes ip the cleo toral college. That 1 consider con- serVative estiClatc.'
 Richard Croker claims that Bryan will carry Greater New York by between S0,- eco and 50 900.
 As general thin. Republican leaders will not admit that tie borough of Man haitian will be carried for Bryan by more than 30,0o0 plurality. Both sides claim the borough ofBrooElyn, the Re publicans by 12,OOO and the Democrats by 5000. The population in the ber. ouxhs of tEa Bronx, Queens and Rich moR3 is relatively small. Democrats azd Republicans clai0 all three Dor oughs, but the Democrats usually carry Queens and Richnend. As for the BreuI, the increase in population ow jag te the up town movement k1s beer so great that all estimates als worthless the population in some districts having doubled. It will probably not give $ decisive aajsrity either way.
 Democrats are inclined ts coHcede tht Etate eut2iSs of Greater New York ts Mckinley By 50 ,e00.
 This is 1Go,eoo less than the Republic ans allow Mckinley in tue same terri tory. Chairrasa and Candidate Tor Gov clnor Oesil is at his home in Ncwburs He will receive returns at his home ant will rot return here until tomorrow. Be fore leaving he said that he had Il sthins
 10 add to his statement that MckinIc1 would carry New Ysrk state by 100000 Greater New York included. A - -----.- -. .....
