MCCarren Gives Parker
$4,000 Majority.
ODELL CLAIMS $4,000
Both Sides Claim That They Will Win
the Hard Fight in the En-
pire State Next
Tuesday.
(New York World.)


cal parties are preparing to enter upon
the last week of the campaign with
more vigor than has characterized any
presiding stage of it. The indications
are that there will be considerable
ginger injected into the final strug-
gle. Both are preparing to dispute
every point all over the country, and
particularly in the so-called doubt
full" States.
Both sides are claiming the major
ity in the electoral college, with more
or less assurance, based upon what
they regard as indications that JUSTIFY
their confidence.
The rival leaders have began to put
forth figures claimed by their authors
to be based upon the actual results OF
canvasses, polls and personal investi-
cation.
The Democrats and Republicans
alike lay claim to New York. The
Democrats are much more Sanguine
of carrying New York--the most inn
pcrtant State at issue. ThesDemocrats
insist that they will carry New York
| for both Judge Parker and the Demo-
cratic State ticket, and their enthus-
iasm is growing.
| The Republicans, while still declar-
i ing the battle practically decided in
favor of their national and State tick
cts, nevertheless allow some value to
| the indications of the various polls and
estimates in New York.
Senator T. Fl. McCarren, Chairman
| Of the Executive Committee of the
| Democratic State Committee, predicts
there will be landslide in this State
| for Judge Parker. Gov. Odell has re-
ceived from local leaders all over the
State figures which he says indicate a
Republican plurality of $4,000.
Landslide" Says McCaren.
"I firmly believe that there is going
to be a landslide" said Senator Nc
Carren yesterday. THE figures print
ed this morning are the first public in
dication of a stage of things of the ex-
istence, of which l have been aware for
some time. / was not surprised by the
figures, and do not believe they are
excessive.
81 base what l say upon an actual
canvass of the election districts in
Brooklyn which we have made, and of
election districts up the State which
have been made by the State Commit
tee. In one election district in the Ger
man section of Brooklyn where 373
votes are cast for Parker is going to
get rs votes that were cast for McKin-
Parker otherwise we could not expect
anything like the 10000 plurality
which we confidently count on in
Kings.
"In the election district 1 speak of
an interesting feature is that where
there were six Socialists four years
| ago there are now so. Twenty-Five of
these Socialists declared themselves for
| Herrick.
| ''The alleged confidence of the Re-
2ublicans in the eleo ton of Roosevelt
! is all bluff. There is a great silent
vote that is not making any noise and
which is going to Parker. 1t is going
to be the great factor in this campaign.
Parker will carry New York State by
| 10000 He will get Brooklyn by 50.-
600. 1 have made no attempt to get
at the vote which Judge Herrick will
get"
