 { New York, Nov. 6-An almost un- precedented degree of uncertainty re- garding the result of the final conflict at the polls tomorrow marks the close of what has been in many respects the most interesting political campaign ever waged in the city of New York. Whether Mcclellan, Hearst or Twins twill be chosen to rule the destinies of @the metropolis fogs:csS s2sssaXt four years presents a problem, which in the face l,of conditions absolutely unique, baftles |. the skill of even the most experienced forecasterS of election results.
 [ This is due from the complications arising from the appearance in the field of a nev and formidable element represented by the Municipal Owner ship league, which, under the leader snip of William Randolph Hearst, has
 Fried on a campaign marked with ex-
 W.ordinary vigor, and has developed a
 gree of strength that has been the
 s3ject of much amazement.
 sso-night the managers of the three
 eyoralty candidates declare them
 Yes to be absolutely assured of vtc-
 aty tomorrow. Of betting on the re-
 It there has been considerably less oan in former years. due apparently
 the general feeling of uncertainty l.afd to the indications hat the results may be very close, Tn Wall street this afternoon the odds ended two to one on Mcclellan, at which price prom inent broker offered to wager $1OO,0OO to $50,0O0. The same broker placed a bet of $25,0O0 to $10,000 on the mayor. Bets on Twins ruled about one to six, and on Hearst one to one and half. odds on the reelection of William Travers Jerome as district attorney of New York county were two to one nd many large sums were wagered by sup porters of the district attorney, whose canvass has been one of the most spec tacular features of the camapign.
 John A Honneberry. chairman of
 1T. Jerofna's campaign gcommittee, is Nued a state. uent tonight predicting the triumphant return of the candidate by a total of votes greater than those of all his opponents. Mir. Jerome made his final speech of the campaign before a great audience in Cooper un- ion tonight.
 Runers of colonization on a large scale and of illegal registration have so far played a minor part in the cam paign, but tonight State Superintend- ent Morgan issued a statement declar- ing that fraudulent schemes had been discovered of greater magnitude than the records of his office showed to have existed before. and that he had taken radical steps to prevent illegal voting A large number of warrants, greatly in excess of those at first called for, MT. Morgan said, had been secured, and would be served by newly estab- Hshed secret service corps of his of- flee, composed of deputies unknown to tlne other deputies of his force. A large numlberof warrants were also placed in the handles of the police department to- night. MT. Morgan confidently ex- poets to arrest a large number of re- peaters should they attempt to vote. Most of the cases of illegal registration, he said, were in Manhattan, especially in the Sixth, Eighth and Eighteenth assembly districts.
 The forecast for tomorrow indicates fine weather, and a heavy vote, cast early and prompt returns are looked for .ss--..
 While the usual predictions of trou- ble at the polls are made, Superintend- ent Morgan and Police Commissioner McAdoo announced tonight that the forces under their respective commands were working in perfect harmony, and that every preeaution had been taken to protect the ballot and guard against any disorder. .l~
