DEVERY MAKES CLAIMS.
Charles Murphy adhered today to his
prediction of 100000 plurality for Nc
Clellan and J. ]. Delaney, McClellan's
personal campaign manager, claimed
his election by $4,000, based on majori-
ties in every borough, $4,000 in Man
haitian and the Bronx, 5000 in Brooklyn,
$500 in Queens and 1900 in Richmond.
Mr.. loves advisers, while claiming
his election by 10000, are said to be
looking for majority of about $4,000,
conceding $4,000 to Mcclellan in Man
haitian and expecting 5000 majority for
Low in Bronx, 1000 in Brooklyn, 1000
in Richmond and an even break in
Queens.
The Devery claim bureau also was
outwardly confident and Devery signal
led the last days campaign by charg-
ing intended heavy colonizing and re-
peating by Tammany.

NEBRASKA.

Nebraska are now ready for the battle
of the ballots, having practically closed
their campaigns Saturday. A few rail-
lies will be held today and this evening
in the larger cities and towns but all
the campaigners have come home to
vote and will confine their work to their
own precincts. No newspaper or central
committee chairman has ventured an es-
innate of tomorrow's election and less
interest has been manifested than for
years. The election being for judiciary
offices only, the vote is not expected to
reach it's normal proportions, and the
registrations in many places, especially
in Omaha, have been considerable below
the vote last year.

Low,s plurality in Greater citv 1314.

Lows plurality in Greater city. .13.143
Regarding this meager plurality for
the reelection of Mayor Low, the Hex
aid has the following to say:
Mr.. Lows lead is so slight that
apathy among his supporters. a rainv
day. which naturally would not be dis
closed by any poll, may change the IN
Iiicated result. Such change took
place two years ago, when in its predic-
ton of Lows election. based on a SINH
lar postal card poll, the Herald's can
vass indicated that Shepard would car
ry Manhattan and the Bronx by 1912
plurality. Low actually carried the two
boroughs by 1867.
No ante-election poll so complete as
the one made by the Herald this year
has ever before been attempted The
figures come directly from the voters
and the deductions drawn from them
have been worked out with mathemati-
cal accuracy. In order to avoid the pos
sibility of error the process used and
every step in the calculations have been
submitted to a firm of reputable char
tered accountants who have certified
their correctness.
In a postal card poll of the first two
days of registration. the results IT
which were presented a week ago, the
reelection of Mayor Low was indicated
by plurality of $40. The present poll
which includes the basis figures of the
first poll and covers all four DAYS IT
registration, ref1ec5c the drift toward
the Democratic side which manifested

OHIO.

Columbus, O., Nov. with indica-
tions for rain in Ohio tomorrow. the
total vote may be much less than 9O0,-
900 on which the Republicans have been
estimating their plurality at nearly lOO,-
900 for governor and other state Off
GERS with from 40 to so majority in the
legislator on joint ballot for United
States senator. The Democrats give
no figures on the state ticket and count
ing doubtful counties in their favor es-
innate a Democratic majority of FIVE
on joint ballot. One statement from
the Democratic state headquarters says
the legislature might stand on joint
ballot Y Democrats to II Republicans.
Republicans are offering bets on as
high as $4,000 plurality, and that the
majority on joint ballot in the legisla-
ture will even exceed that of two years
ago, when the Republicans carried sew
eral Democratic districts and counties
and had the unusual plurality of 35 on
joint ballot in re-electing Senator For
aker. While there are several doubtful
counties, the most important one in
that list is Cuyahoga, the home of
Hanna and Clarke and of Herrick and
Johnson, the candidates for senator and
governor. IF the Republicans carry
that county with its four senators and
ten representatives, they will undoubt-
edlY have the largest majority on Joint
ballot in the legislature that was ever
known. Without Cuyahoga county the
Republicans claim that they will have
Lhe senate p to II and the house "a to
%, WAeA d HdlOTllY OF 50 on joint Dal-
lot, but in this estimate they include
Franklin and other doubtful counties
in the Republican list. BY including
Cuyahoga and other doubtful counties
IN their list, the Democrats claim that
they would have the senate II to 16
and the house 81 to SO, with a majority
of five on joint ballot
There have been less arrests for false
