Republican, and Henry George, Independent and Socialist Tho 552, or about Al per cent of the total; Roosevelt, 6o.t35, and George. 6s.11i. That was the vote of old New York In the first Greater New York election in 1903, George B. Mcclellan. Democrat beat the Fusionist candidate. Seth Lows nearly 6S.ooe votes. q majority which surprised even the victor's most ardent friends.
 The estimate of the registration fos the coming municipal election for Greater New York. in which the can- didates are George B. Mcclellan, pem- ocrat; Twins. Republican, and Hearst Socialist, is 625,00o. of which the word comes here that the election experts who bet on results calculate McCiellan will poll sos, ,000, or 56 per cent: Invinss 80 per cent, or t85.0oo. and Hearst, 10 per cent, or s2.6o0.
 Of course there is taken into con- sideration the clements of uncertainty which have characterized past elec- tions. which brought surprises even to publican, beat Gffroy, TaInmany Demo- crat, and when Seth Low, Fusionist-R Re- publican, beat Shepherd, Democrat. Mayor McClellan's success with his ad- and his undimintshed pop uiarity, along with the difficulty of the opposing clements in their numerous efforts to find a candidate who would stand against him, are taken as potent Assurances that his victory will pc greater than ever.
 The sturdy and clean-cut young Dem ocrattc Mayor of New York has host of admirers there who have picked nim out for higher honors from hls party, and he has made new friends elsewhefe who hopefully contemplate him as pos- siblv the man who will lead Democracy to another great national victory.
