Hughes and William R. Hearst headed toward Greater New York, where the final arguments will be made. Their last swing around the circle has been made under adverse weather conditions, and both are voice worn from frequent outdoor speaking. But neither rain nor snow has dampened the enthusiasm or the crowds which gathered everywhere to greet them.
 Today MT. Hughes began his days tour from oswego, where he spoke last night, and his train tonight reached Syracuse. Tomorrow he will close his day at Sche- nectady and thence will return to New York City for the final series of meetings.
 Hearst Cannot Speak Outdoors.
 MT. Hearst started from Rochester this morning for Niagara Falls. Snow and rain fell all along the line and his fail- ing voice obliged him to discontinue out door speaking. Tonight he appeared at five meetings at Buffalo. and tomorrow night he will be in New York.
 There were several incidents today tend ing to accentuate the already intense in- terest in the outcome of the campaign In this city the feature of the day was tile action of Hearst 4n appealing direct to Judge Otto A. Rosalski of the court ot generl saession to take vigorous measures against the board of elections Tor their criminal negligence in failing to prevent the loss or destruction of independence league nominating petitions. District At torney Jerome, when MT. liearst's re quest was laid before him, decided that the matter should be first submitted to magistrate for inquiry. Mr. Hearst has offered rewards aggregating s50,O0o for the arrest and conviction of persons guilty of election frauds on November 6.

 Supporters of MT Hearst and Hughes profess confidence in the outcome of next Tuesday's election.

Hughes will have upstate plurality Of 200. GOO.
 The Independence league gave out abatement tonight concerning MT. Hearst s campaign upstate in which 1t predicts his election.
 Woodruff Charges Colonization.
 ..Tt may interest the public to know said Chairman Woodruff of the republican state committee, that within an hour 1 was handed a letter from a prominent man in this city who says that Tammany baII has been discovered at it's old trick of colonization I referred the matter to the state superintendent Of elections. I have no doubt whatever regarding the accuracy of the statement made by the man who wrote the letter.
 William Barnes. Jr. former chairman or the executive committee or the repuoh- cau state committee, said today:
 1T have been here great deal since the state convention, simply looklng around and keeping in touch with the sit nation generally throughout the state. have gone over with extreme care the reports submitted to the state committee by the chairman of the county. as well we'll as the town organizations. and think I can safely say now what the result of the republican canvass indicates. Gov ernor Higgins plurality above the BfohN was 160.O00. I have not found anything to indicate a loss from that vote in more than thirty out of the 3000 election dis trcts. My prediction is that Mr Hughes --wiif come down 10 t1e BrOnx With more than 20D,0a0 plurality
 Max F. Ihmsen. campaign manager for the Independence league, said with refer ence to MT. Barnes claim:
 '.Of course MT. Barnes was joking. Iio knows as well l do that every county in the state shows tremendous republ- can losses, and that in every county in the state Hughes will lose many hundreus ! of votes and that republican counties that have not gone democratic in twenty years will give a majority for MT. Hearst
