NEW YORK, Nov. From Repub;
lican State headquarters and Tam
many Hail there came preiictiops
yesterday as to pluralltiss in the CUB
cInatorial contest. William Barnes.
Jr., Republican leader in Aihsny couh-
~, said he felt sure thai Charles n.
Hughes would come down 10 the
Bronx with plurality Of 90O0o. Lead;
er Murphy. Of Tammany Hall. said
he thought Mr.. Hearst would go up to
the Bronx $4,000 or 100000 in the lead.
Mr. Barnes made his assertion while
standing within a few feet Of State
I hartman Woodruff. Atthough Mr..
Woodruff did not echo Mr.. Barnes pre-
diction, it is understood that he has
the same views on the Subject. Mr..
Barnes, 5esides being the Albany
county leader, has been for eight years
prior to this year the chairman Of the
executive committee Of the State com!
mittee. He has been in this city al.
most continuously since the campaign
began, and he says that his predic.
lions are based on careful study Of
the figures that have been received
at the State committee Headquarters
The plurality for Gov. Higgins
above tue Bronx was 100000 | have
rot found anything to indicate a loss
from that vote in more than thirty
out OF more than 1000 election dis
tricts.. The reports show, too. this
year that there has been heavy de-
lection from the Democratic caadi-
date, and my prediction is that Mr..
Hughes will come down to the Bronx
with plurality of more than 100000"
Marshall Louis F. Payn was one Of
Mr.. Wooaruff's visitors yesterday. He
was asked how matters stood in Coli
umbia county and in reply he pro-
duced letter written by Alfred R.
Ostrom, the Democratic nominee for
Assembly from that county, to James
Z. Hughes, chairmon Of the Democrat.
ic county committee. Mr.. 0strom
asked that no effort be made 10 elect
him, and aided:
"The announcement by a former
chairman Of the Democratic county
committee of this county, who Is
known to have been displaying a con-
siderable degree of activity during the
present campaign, that the Republi-
can party will carry Columbia county
by majority of more than 1900 Is
only one Of the many indications OF
the treachery which has been revealed
10 ME by many persons during the last
few days and which must inevitably
lead to the overwhelming defeat OF
Cur entire county ticket"
When Leader Murphy, of Tammany,
said he thought Mr.. Hearst would
have from $4,000 to 10000 plurality
in this city he was reminded that Bird
S, Coler when he ran for governor car
rled the city by 122, 900 plurality, but
was swamped by the Republican vote

Mr.. Murphy has l1een sending out,
this Letter TO the. Tammany disttitt
leaders; siil !.
On the eve of me most important
election ever held int his State. | take
tie liberty of making to you person
al appeal to support the full Democrat
ic ticket in order that we may roI! Up
for 1t an old.fashioned Democratic ma
jority. 4s
There has been in this campaign
a great deal of misrepresentation Of
the position Of this organization, and
desire that no member Of the Gerer-
al or auxiliary committees sNcnld he
left in doubt as to our position, or
should be mbled by the statements Of
The Republican press. To tat end /
now write 10 ask you to do your full
share towards bringing about 'iecid-
ed victory, and predict that. IL every
man does his part, the Democratic
ticket will have handsome majority
on Nov. G."
