Special Dispatch to Tho Star.
NEW YORK. October 28.-Two principal
developments of the day In the state cam
paign are these:
IA decided change In the method Of
campaigning to be pursued by the republic
can state committee.
2-Report of a formidable organized move
ment against the republican state and con-
gressional committee by railroad men.
Dissatisfaction with the methods Of the
republican state committee has led to a de-
cision to shuttle for new deak~ In the
next twenty-four hours altogether different
tactics will be pursued.
The committee will cease sending out
heavy campaign literature. ponderous
musketry fire of newspaper publicity. An
essential feature Of the change will be ef-
forts to arouse republicans from apathy.
PAY less attention to trying to win demo-
cratic votes and more to getting out the re-
publican VOTE" are the instructions from
The report of the movement against the
republican ticket by railway men has
caused genuine uneasiness among the man
ayers. 1t has not been possible to gauge
the extent of it. but its seriousness is based
upon the fact that the official head Of one
of the orders of trainmen has written an
appeal. through the official journal of the
order. to railway men to vote against re-
publican candidates for Congress. The
state managers fear that once started on
that course the men who respond will carry
it through all the ticket.
Norman Mack Comes In.
Here's straw on the other side. A
prominent Tammany alderman said today
that 100 Tammany democrats in his AL
dermanic district intend to vote for Hughes.
And cannot stop that" he added.
Norman E. Mack, democrat national
committeeman and principal opponent Of
Hearst's nomination at Buffalo. came back
into the reservation today and gave up his
guns and blankets. He showed up at dem
ocratic headquarters.
IF conditions continue to improve as they
have in the past week. said Mr.. Mack. in
a spiritless and guarded manner. ''Mr.
Hearst will be elected. A week ago 1t did
not look good for him. AS I say, they will
have to continue to improve
Judge Charles N. Bulger, conservative
democrat, who was commandeered by
Hearst to be chairman of the executive
committee after he had cussed the pro-
spective nominee up hill and down dale at
Buffalo, and whose absence from his desk
has caused comment, came to headquarters
today. Nothing to say" grunted Judge
Bulger when questioned.
Straw Votes for Hearst.
The demonstration of the labor men at
Madison Square Garden last night did not
come up to expectations. The crowd was
large, but Indifferent and would not stay
to hear the candidate through. The much
advertised big labor parade was frost.
The daily poll of the World shows
steady gain for Hearst in the labor vote
since last year.
The Heralds poll shows the contrary to-
day. Take your choice, one is one cent the
other three. The Hearst newspapers are
going to desperate ends in inf1aming the
poor man. The cartoon in the evening edi-
ton which has cheap circulation and eli
entele. carried a cartoon representing
haggard mother sitting on tenement house
fire escape summer night with her babies
dying for want of ice; and another bag
gard mother sitting by the freless stove on
Christmas night with her children freezing
A pare caricature OF Hughes represents him
as backing the ice trust and coal trust
charged with responsibility for the NOR
tally.
This is just to show the kind of appeals
Hearst makes. Thousands of copies Of these
cartoons are scattered among the working
men up state. N. o. NJ
