YORK HAS
ALL GUESSING
ON The MAYOR.
Election Tomorrow Will be a Hot
Fight Hearst Given a Little
the Advantage.
JEROME is ASSURED.
Popular Uprising Against Boss
ism Causes Chaos in Party
Ranks.


NEW YORK. Nov. G-New York is
stirred to its depths on the eve of the
elections. ,s
The Herald says the election of Mr..
jerome as district attorney seems to be
reasonably certain.
The mayoralty situation is confusing.
The contest is between Mayor McClel-
Ian and Mr.. Hearst, with Mr.. WINS
third. The actual canvass of all class
es of voters shows II slight %preponder-
ance of votes for Mr.. Hearst. The in
quiry also shows II strong trend for
Mr.. Mcclellan among the business ele-
ment, while a poll of election districts,
each voter being personally seen,
places Mcclellan in the lead.
The Heraid's canvass of ,l5,392 voters
showed for Hearst. AIT; Mcclellan,
1882; WINS, ,;333 Jerome, 1904; Os-
borne, 1,136; Shearn, $50.
The outlook would seem TO he such
that the work done ut the polls N cleo
ton day will be the determining fac.
tor in the struggle.
Indeed, the temper of the public is
such that almost any result is possible.
There is party chaos OH n larger
scale. and the confusion extends to ali
parties. There is an uprising against
bosses and machines, ana it only re
mains TO be seen whether the revolt
will be far reaching enough to over
throw them both on election day.
1t is perfectly clear that Mr.. Jerome
is overwhelmingly the prediction
choice of the citizens Of Manhattan
and the Bronx districts for district at
torney. Barring the difficulties of the
ballot, which will require voters to
make an additional cross in front Of
his name. he ought to receive moro
votes than The, other two nominees
combined.
A supreme effort will be made by
Republican, Democrat and third ticket
campaign management to see that the
l fun vote is polled and, more important,
{ properly accounted for.
The candidates were interviewed.
I MIR. Wins said: Il am absolutely con
fident of my election. The Republican
J organization will give me II practically
solid vote. Assurances already recelv-
9 ed privately as well as publicly from
the independent vote make Il total OF
at least 245.000 votes. With Tam-
! many Hall split in W and its district
leaders helpless to stem the revolt, the
!. 314.OO0 ballots east for Mcclellan two
years ago have absolutely no relation
/ TO computations made in advance as TO
the result
Mr.. Mcclellan said: 81 have no mis-
givings as to the outcome of the cleo
ton. Attempts to divert the public
mind from the real issues of the cam
paign have failed. and it will be fresh
ly demonstrated that no candidate and
no party can gain a victory on false
%pretenses. | have the highest respect
for the unerring Judgment of the Amer
lean people, and | am content to take
their decision on my record and on
their faith in my promises, of which
my two years of administration is my
guarantee"
Mr.. Hearst said: 81 am confident that
the Municipal Ownership ticket will
poll not less than 100000 votes. | be
lieve it will poll more than that pro

Y Mr.. Jerome said, Il think we are ai
sure to win as anything can be-"
