The Outlook In New York.
New York, Nov. 6. Tammany's
official estimates were turned in at
the hall on Fourteenth street and
sorted out Saturday night. The can
vass shows that Mcclellan will have
just about so ner cent of the total
vote. 1t also shows although this Is
something the Tammany men will not
ooncede, Jerome's election by prac-
t1cally similar vote.
No partisan canvass Is ever of much
value, and the real significance of that
taken by Tammany is because it in
dicates that Jerome and Mcclellan
will run together on the New York
side of the river. In Brooklyn Jerome
IS not running at all, and so there will
be no basis for comparison.
Mayor Mcclellan feels so we'll sat
isfied with the outlook that he wound
UP his campaign Saturday night so far
oo iO POl I'D COuCClutu DIT d DlS
meeting at Durland's academy There
was final democratic rally Sunday
afternoon at the Hippodrome but Nc
Clellan did not speak, as he has con-
sistently refused to make any cam
raign speeches on Sundays
Jerome also has avoided personal
participation in the campaign on Sun
days, but he will speak right up to
midnight on Monday and hopes to end
with a great flourish.
Hearst to Speak Till Last Hour.
Hearst Is awfully industrious and
will speak in the open air and in halls
until daylight on Tuesday morning.
Max Ihmsen, the Hearst manager in
sisted Sunday in all good faith that
his candidate would carry Greater
New York, that WINS would be second
and Mcclellan third. He also predict
ed the election of Shearn the munich
pal ownership candidate for district
attorney and declared that Osborne On
the Tammany ticket would be third.
The statement that Mcclellan will
be third in the race is SO manifestly
preposterous as to make the other
claims equally open to suspicion. 1t
would not be surprising, however, if
Osborne the Tammany candidate for
district attorney, should really be dis.
tanced. He will surely be cut un.
mercifully and he has developed into
a pitiful figure in the campaign.
First Charge Of Dishonesty.
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 6.-John Betz
Jr., while on the witness stand in the
police court here today made the
startling statement to the court that
he and fifteen other prisoners whose
sentences would not have expired until
