NEW YORK. Nov. with the leaders
of both parties confident Of success and
predicting majorities of 10000 or $1,000 for
their respective tickets. the State cam
paign for the election next Tuesday was
brought to a close tonight. The candi-
dates of the two leading parties for Cover
nor chose the battle-ground OF Kings coun-
ty for their speeches tonight, while former
Senator Hill was in Buffalo making final
effort 10 capture Erie county.
Conservative men in both the leading
parties predicted that success would be
won with a 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
Bronx and the majority which the Repub-
lican ticket will bring down from up the
State to meet IL.
Governor Odell himself to-day predicted
the success of the Republican State ticket
by $4,000, while Chairman Dunn, of the Re-
publican State committee chung to his pre-
diction of 81. 500 for the ticket. He was sure
Of Erie county by 1900 TO 5000. and he said
that Monroe county was Republican not
withstanding the alleged settlement of diff
ferences between the Democrats Of that
county and Rochester. The alleged defec-
tion of Republicans on account Of the NOM
ination of Attorney General Davies for Su-
preme Court justice in the Fifth judicial
district was all imaginary. he said to-day.
There are two issues said Colonel Dunn,
"the economical administration of Gov
ernor Odell and the mud-slinging of former
Governor Hill. The first was almost enough
10 return Governor Odell, and the second
is reacting with deadly effect upon the
Democratic party"
When Governor OdeIl and Colonel Dunn
were thus expressing their confidence. Bird
S. Coler the Democratic nominee for Gov
eronr. and Chairman Campbell. of the Dem
ocratic State committee, were making SIM
Il have received reports OF the most en-
cOUraging character from up State" said
Mr.. Coler. and I am absolutely certain
OF my election"
Chairman Campbell said that early in
the campaign he had decided that a policy
OF silence on his part would be best and
that he should not boast or brag, but now
he wished to say that, taking everything
into consideration there was doubt in
his mind that Mr.. Coler would be elected
by handsome majority.
In Wall street to-day the betting was
2 10 l on Odell. and many firms placed
amounts ranging from $1,000 to 5000. There
was a good deal of money to bet at 10
10 8, but the Democrats asked better odds.
In Greater New York the Democrats re-
gard the outlook indicating a majority
or at least 5000 or $1,000, while Charles f.
Murphy. the Tammany leader, predicts that
COler will go to the Bronx with 112.000 TO
the good. One estimate made to-day gave
COer majority Of 10000 or more in Kings
county, where Van Wyck had a lead over
Theodore Roosevelt of 1900 and where
Low led as fusion candidate for mayor
by $500. A Republican estimate gives
5000 In New York county, 10000 in Kings
and 1,co in Richmond. Hugh Mclaughlin,
Democratic leader of Kings county, pre-
diets that Coler will be elected by $4,000
and that he will have 10000 to $1,000 in
Kings. where Mr.. Stanchfield had 300 plur-
altty for Governor.
From a Republican source comes the
statement that New York county certainly
VIII elect two state senators, with fight
Ing chance for a third, labor candidate
with Republican Endorsement. An especial
EFFORT Is being made TO retain the New
York county representation of ten in the
assembly. Republicans expect the election
OF FOUR congressman in the county.
