NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Fair weather
and moderate temperature is the fore
cast for tomorrow when the issue OF
the most extraordinary gubernatorial
campaign In the history of the State
will be decided at the polls. The
night before predictions could not be-
said to throw any helpful light on the
situation.
Republicans at state headquarters
confidently expected plurality Of no,
less than 100000 for the ticket, while
the managers of the independence
League and Democratic joint cam
paign anticipated 100000 votes tc
spare in Greater New York and tc
which they added a plurality OF so,
600 above the Harlem river.
Betting Favors Hughes.
The political thermometer in Wall
street varied during the day from
odds of 3 1.2 to l Oh tho election OF
Republican governor to TO l and
back to 4 to /. at which figures the
greater number of bets on the curl
were placed.
In spite of the confidence expressed
on both sides, tonight none would dc

be less relied upon to deliver the reg
ular vote.
Charles T. Hughes. named by Re
publicans for governor has received

Hearst first the candidate of the In
dependence League and then of the
Democratic organization, has invaded
the upstate strongholds.
That he will draw from the Rcpub

orally conceded.
The Republicans have always count
ed on the upstate counties to roll III
vote to more than offset the Demo
cratic plurality in Great New York
but this year upstate can hardly bs
described as pitted against the me
