ILL LINES ARE BROKEN

New 1OTk, NOV- C-F dH WCaAuoA and moderate temperature is the forecast for tomorrow when tho issue of the most extraordinary gubernator- ial campaign in the history of the state will be decided at the polls.
 The night before predictions could not bc said to throw any helpful light on the situation. Republican state headquarters confidently Epec plurality of not less than edh. .0O' for the ticket while the managers Of the Independence League and Democratic joint campaign committee anticipated 150.O00 votes to spare in Greater New York and to which they added a piur- ality of 50.O00 above the Harlem rfv- CT.
 The political therometer in Wall street varied during the day from odds to 3 1-2 to on the election of a Re publican governor to to l and back to to 1. at which figures the. greater number of bets on the curb were placed
 In spite of the confidence expressed on both sides tonight none would that never before could party lin Jess relied upon to deliver the re vote
 Charles F.. Hughes. named by tn publicans. has received the enc ment of many old line Democrats. wI.v objected to the action of the Demo- cratic convention at Buffalo. Senator McCurren. Democratic leader of the Kings county Democracy. today pro- phesied a Republican plurality of B. 900 in his county.
 Up-stnte Wedge Broken.
 On the other hand William Hearst. first the candidate of the independence league and then the Democratic orga- nization has invaded the upstate stronghold That he will draw from the Republican vote in certain sec tions is generally conceded.
 The Republicans are always counted upon the upstate counties to roll up ss vofe to more than offset the Demo- cratic plurality in Greater New York. but this year upstate can hardly be described as pitted against the Metro polls.
 In this city the minor issues are so involved and the candidacies so multi pie that the official ballot. two million copies of which were delivered by the printers today. is literally q blanket sheet Contrary to the usual practice. the candidates this year carried their canvass right up to the early hours Of election day and 1t will be a short night for party workers who are to be early at the polls.
 Mir Hughes spoke along the water front during the afternoon and six times up town tonight. Mr. Hearst contented himself during the day with sending out an appeal to election watchers to be on their guard but to- night addressed four gatherings on the east side. Both candidates were hailed with the boisterous enthusiasm that has characterized their every appear ance.
 Elaborate Police Arrangements.
 Elaborate police arrangements were concluded today. inspectors and cap- tains being instructed by Commission CT Bingham and Superintendent Of elections Morgan to insure a fair cleo tion at all hazards The police are armed with no less than 2,000 war rants directed against those who are alleged by the managers to have ille- galy registered and these men will. if they attempt to vote. be arrest ed.
 These warrants are issued after the investigation of the complaints. Both sides will be represented by counsel in the vicinity of the polls. In this city the counting is sure to be slow In Buffalo and some other upstate cities, voting machines will be used and from those places the early re- turns may be expected:
 The most astute of political observ- CTS are reserving their opinion until
  from the early voting tomorrow. New CT before, it is conceded. has there been greater danger to the reputation of the careful prophet in making any positive prediction on the night before cleo tion .-. -- f.:*.@
 The final work of each standard bearer tonight was q promise to hls supporters of q great victory.
 . Late tonight State Chairman Wood ruff gave out his final message from E"piiblicun headquarters. calling upon every voter to east his ,ailot.
 How can there be any doubt?" he asks, that tomorrow's election will rJ- suit in triumph for d"Ceat government which will be memorable in the his cory of the politics of ;he whole couh- try and unparalleled in he history oi the politics of this state.
