FORECAST OF The LOCAL AND GENERAL ELECTIONS.
GAIN In ASSEMBLY SURE.
Indications Point to Capture OF
Nine Nezo Districts by Republicans.

Despite the fact that the Roosevelt tidal wave
of last year resulted in the election OK three re
publican AssembIynen in East Side Tammany
.troneholds and the total of Republican As
semblymen I'm New-York County and in the
whole city mounted to a higher number thai
in any recent year, there is every reason TO De
lieve that this forthcoming election Will see
still greater gain In Republican representation
The present indications are that the Assembly
representation from the whole city viii contain
% Republicans and 81 Democrats. showing
net Republican gain of 8. These figures. divided
for respective counties snow the following in
teresting result: Republicans from New-York
13; gain. 4. Republicans from Queens. Z; no
gain. Republican from Richmond, L; gain, l.
Republicans from Kings, 13: gain. a.
The reasons for the further increase ars not
hard to find, and they are in part revealed oy
the character of the districts that VIII De
changed The Hearst DETECTION from Tamnany.
and the additional fact that I'm many cases the
Republican candidate for Assembly has the Mu-
nicipal Ownership Endorsement will not only re-
tain in the Republican column normally Demo
cratic districts like the Sth, 10th and 10th. which
were carried last year, but will also ado lhe
18th and 26th to the list
In the case of the 9Th District, which VIII In
all probability be regained by the Republicans
III,
the nomination of an unpopular candidate, does
not exist this year. and the district is normally
Renubcan The other Manhattan district
which will be regained is the 23d. This Is
always a close district, and the Municipal own
ership fight against Tammany In this district
makes its loss by the Tamnlany candidate In
evitable.
IT. as many political wiseacres predict, the
Hearst movement IN Manhattan and The Bronx
develops into a real tidal wave. then Republican
Assenblymen are sure to be elected in all other
districts where the Republican candidate has the
Municipal Ownership Endorsement These are:
District District - 49,,
24-John T. Story. 35-Cornelius D. Noonan-
52-Samuel krulewftch
In such an event not only Will a majority OF
the representatives to the Assembly In New
York City be Republicans. but this Will be true
in every borough and county
The representation in Queens will probably re-
main as 1t stands, with two Republican MEM
hers and one Democratic member. In Richmond
the Municipal Ownership fight practically IN
sures the Republican gain of the local memoer.
Examination of the situation In Brooklyn
seems to indicate that as result or lndorse-
uents by the Municipal Ownership League the
Republicans will probably gain three Assembly,
districts In Kings County. They VIII also re-
claim the 18th District, a normal Republican
district which was lost last year through oppo-
s,tion to the reelection Of Assemblyman jacob
d Remsen The Republicans Will propaoly
carry all of the districts carried last year, max
ing total gain of four representatives IN she
Assembly. The three districts which VIII prop
ably be taken from the Democrats in addition
to the 18th, are the 9th, Ioth ana 4oth. n ue-
