what il is likely 10 be, their contention
being that there will be a much more
marked falling of in the Hearst vote in
normally strong Democratic districts. such
az the Second. Third, y inth and Sixteenth,
than the above figures indicate. An I'M
usually good Democratic election tigIlrer
said that the above table Of estimated
pluralities was in his opinion very con-
serVative.
That the Republican judiciary ticket, in
which are he names of FIVE Republicans
and three DEMOCRATS, the latter being also
on the Democratic ticket, was almost sure
OF election is the general opinion. Should
it IL believed that Luke ID Starleton, one
OF the candidates on the Democratic ticket,
is most likely to prove the eighth victor
in the hot'y co"tested Judiciary race.
George II. Lindsay DEM Is certain Of
reelection in the Second district; Charles
T. Dunwell (Rep.) will be returned by a
plurality of from 1000 to 5000 in the Third
district; Charles B. Law (Repl is also prac-
tically sure Of reelection in the Fourth dis
trict: George F.. Waldo will be reelected
in the Fifth district. and that William VI.
Calder will beat No Pass Robert Baker
in the Sixth district by a bigger majority
han he did two years ago is the general
opinion among the electors Of the district.
John j. Fitzgerald CDem.l has a harder
fight for reelection in the Seventh district
this year than in any OF his previous con-
tests, having both a Republican and In
dependence League opponent, but as there
Is a normal Democratic majority of over
5000 in the district his reelection is re-
garded as pretty well assured.
Leans and Democrats will elect, each, four
Senators and that the Republicans will
elect thirteen or fourteen OF the twenty
three Assemblymen.

ALDERMEN IN CONTEMPT.
Newburg h's Entire Board May BE Punished
nv Fine or imprisonment.


NEwBrRoH, Nov. g. Judge Dickey this
morning held that the whole Board Of Alder
men, thirteen members, were in contempt
for not obey ing the orders Of his court.
It IL the outcome Of a case that has teen
dragging along in the courts for about two
years.
Mrs Frances r. Erwin owns 1853 Grand
street, which is the Fifth avenue Of this
city. It is one Of four dwellings in a row.
On the rear Of her house Mrs. Erwin built
an addition which the courts held was
larger than the law allows. Justice Dickey
gave the Aldermen until May Is last to tear
the addition down. This has not yet Leen
done. and to-day Lawyer Roosa asked the
Court to punish the Aldermen for their
neglect Of his order.
After lengthy arguments bv the LAWYERS
and long afhdavits sui mitted by the Alder
selves, Justice Dickev held that the board
was clearly in contempt; that there was no
excuse for the board not acting. and said he
would give them two weeks more to carry
out the orders OF the Court, reserving
until then the question OF punishment,
which Is a fine OF Imprisonment.
Lawyer v airing said there was not a
builder or contractor in the city who would
tear the OF iectional le addition down, and
asked the Court what the Common Council
could do. Justice Dickey replied that there
are lots Of people eager for a job.
The impression prevails that each Alder
maj will lie punished either by imprison-
ment or fne.
