New York, Oct 31.-The mystery
as to the outcome Of the gubernator-
ial campaign in New York state = AS
deep as ever. Mr.. Hearst's undenia-
BILE possession OF a large fraction OF
the Republican labor vote and Mr..
Hughes sweeping capture of the
silk stocking Democracy, are now
clearly established, but no man knows
how far one will Offset the other and
this is the uncertainty which has made
the campaign the most remarkable in
the history of New York politics. The
Republican poll of the upstate has
just been completed. It. shows many
bad Spots" as the managers call

care the reports submitted to the
state committee by the chairman Of
the county. as well as the town or
ganizations. and think I can safely
say now what the result of the Re
publican canvass indicates. Governor
Higgins plurality above the Bronx
was 100000. 1 have not found any
thing to indicate loss from that vote
in more than so out of the 5000 cleo
ton districts. Mr.. prediction Is that
Mr. Hughes will come down to the
Bronx with more than 100000 plu-
rality."
Max F. Ihmsen, campaign manager
for the Independence league, said
with reference to Mr.. Barnes claim:
"Of course, Mr.. Barnes was Joking.
He knows as we'll as I do that every
county in the state shows tremendous
losses, and that in every
county in the state Hughes will lose
