On the state ticket Colonel woodruff may run behind MT. Lake owing to MT. Thayer's many appearances on the Istump, but if precedent cuts any figure Colonel Woodruff ought to run as we'll for governor as he did for lieutenant governor, but this hardly seems likely this year. The high man on the re- publican ticket will probably be MT. Lake. 4 The shrievalty contests have much interest, especially in.New Haven coun- ty, where the German vote is likely to almost carry Philip Hugo, the demo- cratic candidate, into office over Coun- ! ty Commissioner Walter, The latter Is in a strong combination and the repub- lcans pick him to win, but the demo- crats in New Haven who are inclined to wager were willing to make the terms even.
 In Litchfield county MT. Huntington, the republican, has hopes of defeating Sheriff Middebrook, but the advantage seems to be with the latter. l The. two probate judgeship contests are those in New Haven and Hartford. Tn the former Secretary Thomas, of the democratic state central committee, is running against Mayor Studley, and the l latters popularity in the city would seem to make his election sure, al- though not by the margin which many times has been given to Judge Cleave- land.

 In the senatorial fights only one stands out prominently, and that is in the Twenty-first district, with Senator Paige and ex-Senator McNeil on even terms,
 A scrutiny of the vote cast for repre- sentatives two years ago shows that many republican members got their seats by a margin of few votes. With no high tide of ballots to assist, it seems probable that in many towns the democrats will capture the places, which practically will not amount to a great deal owing to the great majority of republicans in that body.
 The polls will close at 5 o'clock this afternoon and returns ought to start fairly early. The city figures may be late owing to the tendency to use past CTS. which fact is already in evidence, and the complications brought into, the count in Bridgeport, Ansonia, Stamford, New Britain and Derby by municipal elections.
 After all, the interest centers in the New York election, and everywhere the !
