sylyanla. The New York situation is
one, the outcome of which no clever
politician is willing to predict. The
betting odds are all in favor of Hughes,
but the betting odds have never been
partial to Mr.. Hearst and in the New
York city election they were greater
against him than they are in the pres
ent campaign.
It is significant that leading republi-
cans here are very much alarmed over
the outlook. Interest in the congress
sional nominees is being lost sight of
in the greater issue as to who will be
governor. The republicans concede
bers of congress. # they e' gain g six
seats it will be no surprise here.
In Pennsylvania some things indicate
the election of Emery. fusion candidate
for governor, and the republicans may
lose from four to six seats in the ma
tional house of representatives If Emery
carries tho state.
Chairman Cortelyou of the republican
national committee, who visited New
dents suggestion to report the condi-
tions, told the president on his return
that the republican machine in Penn
slyvania would be buried under an
avalanche Of votes and that the out
come in New York would depend en-
Clrely Oh the vote OF organized LABOR.
In Jersey and Ohio. j.
In New Jersey no governor is to be
elected this year. The republicans will
probably carry the legislature and re-
lose two representatives. certainly, and
possibly four. In Delaware the repub
licans will probably carry the state
as usual In Maryland the indications
ere that the republicans will hold their
representation in the house Of repre-
sentatives altho there are sharp con-
tests in three districts and the labor or
mined fight on Representative Mudd,
republican.
In Ohio the democrats will gain at
least four seats in the national house
of representatives. In Kentucky they
will gain one. In Illinois they will
gain Ave sure and possibly eight. In
Michigan the republicans will elect a
solid delegation again: Likewise in
Minnesota and California.
one district in Iowa, now represented
by Mr.. Dawson. The district is noni-
nally democratic.
In Missouri the democrats will re-
claim some of the seats lost to the re-
publicans in the last election, and they
will lose none of the seats they now
hold. The republican hope Of defeat
ing De Almond. democrat, has been
abandoned, and it is now equally GER
tain that the republicans will not car
ry one district in Arkansas on which
they had designs.
The republican congressional commit
tee comedies four districts in Indiana
to the democrats. The democrats are
claiming, in addition, two more-the
first and thirteenth. They insist also
that they are giving Representative
Fred Lands and Representative Crum-
packer hard fights. The republicans
will certainly lose one district in North
Carolina now represented by Mr.. Black
burn, and may lose district in Vir-
ginia now represented by Mr.. Slemp
The democrats, on the other hand, will
lose one district in West Virginia. $500,

AS to the gubernatorial contests,
there seems to be little doubt that
the republicans will carry Wisconsin
and elect Governor Davidson, altho they
will lose one or more representatives.
The republicans will elect a COVER
nor in California, Representative Gill
cations, but will have hard fight in
Idaho to re-elect Governor Gooding,
who is being bitterly opposed by the
votes of organized labor on account
of his action towards the alleged con-
spirators accused Of the murder of sex-
Governor Stuenenberg. 1t looks now as
if the republicans would lose the COVER
nor but carry the rest Of the ticket, in
Guiding the legislature and member Of
congress.
Ex-senator w. A. Harris is making
a strong fight as the democratic nomi-
nee for governor Of Kansas, but the
indications are that Governor Hoch
will be reelected.
Governor Cummins is admitted to be
in some danger on account of the fac
tional differences in Iowa. If he were
compelled to rely entirely on republican
votes he would probably be defeated,
but it is the understanding of those
conversant with the situation that he
will poll large democratic vote.
The democrats are counting ON re-
electing the democratic governor in
Nevada, whose popularity may also
carry thru to success the democratic
candidate for congress. The chances,
however, are that Nevada will return
republican member in place of Van
Duzer, who now. represents the state in
the house. -.
