ALL LINES ARE BROKEN

New York. Nov 3-Today practi- cally closed the most extraordinary campaign for Governor of New York in the political history of the Stats, although both candidates will continue speech making until Monday night.
 It has been a campaign of person a1itics rather than policies; of men instead of measures and 1t has stirre the interest of the voters of the En- pire State to its extreme boundaries For vigor and virtuperation 1t has been without precedent among .tate campaigns and for persistency of ap- peals for votes 1t stands lone.
 National issues aside rom the so- called trusts" have been entirely ig- nored and State issues have scarcely received passing mention Sensation- al charges have been injected ? from time to time and interest mas ben kept at the highest pitch. The official close of tho campaign tonight was amidst blaze of political enthusi- asm and rapid fire oratory Both Charles E. Hughes. Republican,. ani William K. Hearst, Democratic and Independence League candidates, car ried out the programs mapped Tor them, notwithstanding the remarkable round of speech making upstate. The close Of the campaign finds political situation unprecedented IT.. this State and some of the shrswdest politicians who have been watching the trend of afYairs admit that ths usual sources of political prognostica. ton are all but worthless.
 Party Lines Smashed.
 Party lines have been broken as seldom before. Mfr. Hughes has beea making a special plea for Democrats support declaring himself to be free from political obligation to any per- son or thing. and asserting that the platform which he stands on is broad enough to welcome the support of ''all good citizens who desire clean and honest administration at Albany"
 MT. Hearst has attacked the trusts and boss rule and. through his m- dependence League, he is claiming the support of many Republicans. Mir, Hearst has been attacked by his op ponent flor having taken the hand of a boss to secure the Democratic ncm- nation" and the alleged Hearst Murphy deal" has been the subject of numerous Republican speeches.
 MT. Hughes has charged that mon. ey was lavfshly used to secure con troi of the Democratic convention al Buffalo" and he has cited the tumut. of that political gathering "as aa evidence of what might be expected at Albany Tn the event of the sue. cess of Hearst and Hearstism.
 Mir Hughes has made much of the fact that prominent old line Demo- crats." among them John G. Carlisle and Thomas M Osborne, have openly deserted the Democratic ticket and have urged others of the party to fol- low their example.
 Henrst's Line of Attack.
 Hearst has attacked Hughes on the alleged ground that he Is a 'corpora- ynr 1a lao the trusts" are friends of ths Repub- lican candidate, He declares he be- leves ''in placing the control of the Government pack in the hands of the people He has called for the sup port of all men "who are tired of Re- publican misrule and trust domina- tlon." and has promised that he will sweep out of office every truant State official" -
 Hughes has charged Hearst with DO litical insincerity." and asserts his op- ponent Is seltishly ambitious in seeking office." He declares that while decry- ing corporations and "heaping villiGca- fcials." Mir Hearst ifs a corporation himself"
 He says tho Hearst newspapers in New York have been incorporated and that the corporation laws have been taken advantage of to shield 'the real owner rom personal iiab1llty In dam age suits. "
 He also charges that the Hearst corporations, by claiming their liabilities to be greater than their assets, have sworn off all taxes assess ed against them, and are practically speaking tax dodgers"
 MT. Hearst. in reply. has claimed that his political sincerity is established by the sincerity with which he has been nt bV hfhD tTIIHfS and the .-.
 MT. Hearst claims the practically un- divided support of union labor and the League. and asserts that he has SD broken down the Republican machiSc up- stat. az to make mpossi- ble the huge Republican majority which has heretofore been brought down to the Bronx to wipe out the Democratic plurality in Greater Ncw York.
 Detection iB Republican Ranks,
 Mir. Hugsles and the Republican cam )aign managers are ready to admit hat there has been defection from the Republican ranks among the laborine ,lasScs, but asserts that this loss Is more than offset by the promised sup port of the '"ld line Domocrats."
 Leader Murphy. of Tammany Hall. 'laims i1earst will carry Greater New Tory by d plurality of from 60.000 to 100000 votes. The Republicans say they are eIated ever this prediction 'or they claim Mir IIuEh's will come 70 the Bronx with 2"o,o00 votes to spare.
 Probably the most sensational fea- ures of the campaign were the mes ,ages of Richard Crokcr and the re narkabl" attack of Secretary of state Root on MT Hearst,
 Mir. Crokcr cabled State Senator r H. McCarrcu. Democratic leader K ngs county, hls congratulatior McCarr"u's consistent op 'Si' Hearst and wished him succ Mir. Croker. in r 'NprpsScd great surprts # Chlrl"s F. MurphN many IIall in givi'
