In this city it remains to be seen whether
the decrease in the number of election
districts will hasten or delay the returns.
accompanied as it is by an increase in the
average number OF votes TO be counted
in each district. The length OF the ticket
for Justices of the Supreme Court in this
county, a general ticket with thirty-nine
names on it-promises to make the returns
OF that vote late.
At all the county headquarters matters
we're very quiet yesterday. Tn leaders
of the organizations we're out in the dis
tricts working. In the middle part Of the
day Tammany Hall was somewhat lively.
II was Dough Day. and all the leaders,
with one exception so far as could be learned,
came around to obtain the funds to get out
the votes in their districts. The exception
was Fire COMMISSIONS Lantry Of the Sixs
teenth, who failed to show up to get his
dough. IL il understood that the amount
distributed was about $40, 600, or about half
what was given out last year. This is about
$40 to an election district, but the money
was not evenly divided, the greater part Of
il going TO districts which are looked upon as
doubtful. The districts which are re-
garded as sure got but a very small dole,
some of them only a few dollars for each
election district.
Money was also distributed yesterday to
the Republican leaders. but the mou
they received were comparatively small
The Republican county committee and the
Judiciary Nominators have combined forces
10 watch the polls, and AZ many hundreds OF
volunteers have offered gratuitous services
the cost to the two organizations viii be
very small.
Chairman Woodruff Of the Republican
State committee said last night that Mr..
Hughes's minimum plurality in the entire
State would be 100, 900, and he would not
he surprised to see il very much greater.
Mr.. Woodruff went on TO say:
From the returns we have eceived OF
canyasses made by careful people I an
not conceive how Mr.. Hughes can come
Down to the Bronx with a plurality smaller
than 10000. l cannot conceive OF Mr..
Hears. being able to carry Greater New
York by more than 1900. Any plurality
above $4,000 which Mr.. Hearst may obtain
in New York county will be offset by the
liuralities which the Long Island count es
will give Mr.. Hughes. Mr.. Hughes will
carry Kings county by better than 10000.
His total plurality on Long Island will
be about 25,Q0O.
These are minimum figures" continued
Mr.. Woodruff, but / should not be at all
surprised to see Mr.. Hughes come down
to the Harlem River with a plurality OF
200 900. Mr.. Hughes's upstate plura lily
may even reach 100000. And | believ
that there is more than a fighting chance
that Mr.. Hughes will carry the city Of
Greater New YORK.
All hands at Republican State headquar-
ters are to be on the lookout Tonight for
the returns from Buffalo, Rochester and
several other Of the upstate cities where
voting machines are employed. Tn re-
turns from Buffalo will be awaited with
more than usual interest, for the reason
that Charles F. Murphy snd William J.
Corners as early as last spring selected
Buffalo as the Democratic convention city
where Mr.. Hearst was to be indorsei after
he had been nominated by his own incor-
porated political body. the Independence
League. Buffalo was selected by Mr.. MUIR
ply, Mr.. Corners and Mr.. Hearst because
it was believed to be the city where Mr..
Hearst had the greatest strength above
the Bronx Inns. All sorts Of calculations
have been made as to Buffalo. The Repub-
licans say that II Mr.. Hughes carries Buff

$1,000 plurality, whereas il he shouldIcarry
Buffalo by 1900 he would be elected by
5000, and 80 on. The regular Democratic
organization Of Erie county has been regu-
lar, and that's all. Mr.. Hearst's Inde-
pendence League has greatly nettled the
regular Democrats Of Buffalo, and yet Mr.
Hearst's people insist that MI. Hearst will
carry Buffalo by from 5000 to 10000. IL
Mr.. Hearst should carry Buffalo by any
such figures, or II he should carryit by 5000.
the Hearst people say that he would surely
triumph over Mr.. Hughes In the State by
a handsome plurality. Il is a matter Of
record that Mr.. Corners has bet $500 to
5000 that Mr.. Hearst viii carry Erie county.
but this bet was made before the Inde- \
pendence League nominated a ticket in the
county.
Charles r. Murphy, the leader Of Tam
many Hall. fell into line behind the Gilsey
House last night and predicted that Hearst
would have q plurality In the whole city
OF over 10000. A week 9 Mr.. Murphy
sai1 that the Hearst plurality would be
from $4,000 70 o 1000. q on Saturday
after the meeting OF the executive COM
mittee, when the district leaders handed
in their estimates Of he division Of the
votes in their Districts, Mr.. Murphy said
that while he had ONE reason TO modify !
hs first figures, he was conhdcnt that the
Hearst plurality would not fall below his
minimum figures OF $1,000. After that
