IN NEW YORK BOTH
 SIDES SURE OF VICTORY.

New York. Nov. i.-with the leaders Of both parties confident of success and pre- dieting majorities of i0.000 or so,ooo Tor their respective tickets. the State cam naiCn for the election next Tuesday was brought to a close tonight. The candi- dates for the two leading parties for Governor choose the battle ground or Kings County for their speeches tonight, while former Senator Hill was in Bunaio making a final effort to capture Erie County. Conservative men in both the leading parties predicted that success would be won with majority possibly as small as 10000 and all predictions are based on widely different estimates of the majority the Democratic ticket will show up to the Bronx and the majority which the Republican ticket will bring down there from up the State to meet 1t.
 Governor Odell himself today predicted the success of the Republican Sttatc tick ct by 5o.00o. while Chairman Dunn Of the Republican State committee elung to ms pr ediction Of 37,6Oo for the ticket He was sure of Erie County by. 5000 to b.ooo ard he said that Monroe County was Re- publican notwithstanding the alleged set clement of differences between the Dem ocrats of that county and Rochester.
 )"There are two issues" said Colonel Dunn, ''the econ omical administration of Governor Odell and the mudslinging or former Governor Hill. The first was al most enough to return Governor odeli and the second is reacting with deadly effect upon the Democratic party
 While Governor Odell and Chairman Dunn were thus expressing their conf1- dence. Bird S Coler, the Democratic nominee for Governor, and Chairman Campbell of the Democratic State Com mittee were making similar statements for their party in the State.
 I have received reports of the most en- coureging character from upstate said Mir. Coler. ''and l am absolutely certain of my election"
 Chairman Campbell said that early in the campaign he decided that n policy oi silence on his part would be best, ana that he would not boast or brag, but now he wished to say that taking everything into consideration, there was no doubt in his mind that MT. Coler would be elected by a handsome majority.
 In Wall Street today the betting was 2 to 1 on Odell and many firms placed amounts ranging from $1,OOO to 5000 There was a good deal Of money 10 oet at 10 to 6, but the Democrats asked better odos.
 In Greater New York the Democrats re- gard the outlook as indicating a majority of at least S5. 900 or 5000, while Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, pre- diets that Coler will go to the Bronx with 112.OOO to the good. One estimate made today gave Coler a majority of 10000 or more in Kings County. where VsnWyck had a lead over Theodore Roosevelt of IS, OOO and where Low led as fusion candidate for Mayor by H'OOO
 A Republican estimate gives Coler 6o'- GOO in New York County; 10000 In Kings County and O0O in Richmond.
 Hugh Mclaughlin, Democratic leader of Kings County, predicts that Coler will be elected by 5000 and that he will have from 20.O0O to 25OOO in Kings, where MT. Stanchfied had 2.3O0 plurality for Gov ernor.
 From a Republican source comes the statement that New York County Repuo- licans certainly will elect two State Sen ators. with a fighting chance for a third'' a labor candidate with Republican in- dorsement. Aspecial effort is being made to retain the New York County represen- tation of ten in the Assembly. Repuoii- cans expect the election of four Con Eressmen in the county.
