NEW YORK. Nov. 5.-Everywhere con-
fidence is expressed that full vote will
be polled tomorrow. and Republicans and
Democrats alike agree that more than
six hundred thousand citizens in Greater
New York, tomorrow, will deposit their
ballots for the man Of their choice. Indi-
cations are that the vote in the city Will
be at least sixty-five thousand larger than
ever before in the history of Greater New
York.
Generally speaking, Republicans concede
that Bryan will carry Greater New York
On the other hand. Democrats admit that
Mckinley will carry the State if Greater
New York is excluded. The differences OF
opinion arise on the question of the plural
tiles that the Democrats are conceded In
the metropolis and the Republicans are
conceded in the upstate districts.
Democratic national headquarters was
practically deserted to-day, only Secretary
Mason, of the executive committee, being
in charge. Chairman Frank Campbell, of
the State central committee, is at his
home, and will not return until Wednes-
day. Secretary Mason declined to make
any statement to-day, other than to re-
Bry ans election was assured. Secretary
Mason will receive and give out the re-
turns at his party's headquarters Tuesday
evening.
Richard Croker claims that Bryan will
carry Greater New York by between $1,000
and $4,000.
| AS general thing Republican leaders
| will not admit that the borough Of Man.
| haitian will be carried for Bryan by more
| than $4,000 plurality. Both sides claim the
| borough of Brooklyn, the Republicans by
| 1900. the Democrats by 5000. The popula-
| ton in the boroughs of the Bronx, Queens
| and Richmond is relatively small. Demo-
| Gratis and Republicans claim all three bor-
| oughs, but the Democrats usually carry
| Queens and Richmond. AS for the Bronx
| the increase in the population owing to the
uptown movement has been so great that
| all estimates are worthless, the population
| i'm some districts having doubled. 1t will
| probably give a decisive majority either
| way.
Democrats are inclined to concede the
| State outside of Greater New York to Nc
| Kinley by $4,000. This is 100000 less than
| the Republicans allow Mckinley in the
same territory. Chairman and candidate
| for Governor Odell is at his home in New
burg. He will receive returns at his home
| and will not return here until Wednesday
| Before leaving he said that he had nothing
| to add to his statement that Mckinley
would carry New York State by 100000,
| Greater New York included.
| Governor Theodore Roosevelt will remain
| at his home at Oyster Bay, on Long island
until after election. He wound up his cam
| paign for the'vice presidency tonight with
a brief speech, ana then visited his old
| friends and neighbors
The close of the campaign finds the bet
/, ting that has obtained during the last fort
| night practically unchanged. Only COM
paratively small bets are being made, the
ruling odds ranging anywhere from to
| to to in favor of Mckinley.
| There was very little betting done to-
night on the election The odds dropped TO
| 3iA to / towards the latter part of the even
| ing and remained there.
