GLOOM At GILSEY HOUSE
DIR. Ihmsen Prophesies Victory, but
Doesn't Look 1t.

PonderInr the many curious happenings IN the
last few DAYS which have not been altogether
conducive 10 the peace OF mind OF William Ran
doph Hearst. his men at the Gilsey House last
night stepped softly and talked low. An air as of
a sickroom hung the place, and when roars
OF delight from a crowd outside, which was watch
ing some Of the Hearst canned vaudeville pct-
ures OF the candidates, came through the windows.
Max IhmseD turned uneasfy in his seat and naIt
lifted a protesting hand.
Something closely approaching the cold gray
dawn OF the morning after seemed to have settled
on the place. Despite the fact that Mr.. lhinsen
Mr.. Hearsts generalissimo, had issued state
ment earlier in the DAY, claiming his chiefs cleo
tion by 10000 and that the eminent philanthropist
''FIngey" Conners had made one not quite so opti-
mstic placing the Hearst plurality at 10000. some
one. somewhere, must have put on the soft pedal
and mufieG the wheels of the band wagon. for the
Hearst campaign last night was waxing as merry
as a funeral bell
''Fingey' Connors unable to think any
eminent citizens TO appoint on his Industrious COM
nittees took his departure for Buffalo early in the
evening. He left behind him this prophetic note:
Mr.. Hughes will come down the Bronx with
Hearst win carry greater New York by 200 900.
base my estimate thorough canvass of every
election district in the state and on d complete
knowledge of the situation. The election on Tues

Max Ihmsen in his most dulcet tones, prophesied
somewhat follows

ton OF the Republicans is manifest in the course

AS indicating the desperation OF the Republicans,
Today are interesting. I am Informed that many

General report based on certain specific sayings
had It that Mr.. Ihmsen. in discoursng the plen-
tiful funds of the Republicans was not unmoved
by unscriptural covetousness. The real reason of
the gentle melancholy which pervaded the Hearst
headquarters last night declared 10 lie chiefly

motive power having given out. the machine had
refused TO move.
