No fgure4 were given out and no results of fhs canvass will be made public from the headquarters of Judge Parker untilsns return of Chairman Taggart.
 In New Jersey the situation is re- ported to be far more complex than ir any other of the doubtful States, and the result more dependent upon the work done in the remaining two and half weeks of the campaign.
 This was the judgment of former Senator James J Smith. Jr.. who call. ed on Judge Parker and declared cers tain the election of Black for Gover- nor, and predicted that the Democratic fnatipnai ticket win also win.
