NEW YORK oct. 27.-With the most
keenly contested State election in many
years but ten days away. the political
situation in New York city and up the
State Is today more muddled than at
any time since the convention named the
candidates
IN times OF drought all weather signs
faus when Hearst is running for office
ali political forecasts are futile"
This summing up of present conditions
is the frankesI expression which any OF
the sharps can arrive at. Mr. Hughes
may carry the State by a landslide; Mr.
Hearst may have plurality above the
Bronx and be defeated in the city, or
he may have on election day his last
years municipal ownership following in
the city and the majority up the State
which his henchmen claim for him and
which would undoubtedly AFFORD him a
substantial plurality
Odds Have Been Lowered.
The Democratic and Independence
League candidate has, without question.
crossed a favorable drift in the past
week. This has led 10 "a lowering Of
the Wall Street odds against his chances
and has Infused the candidate himself
with a confidence which IN the earlier
days of the canvass he appeared 10 be
lacAng.
Mr.. Hearst is convinced that he will
carry the State by l50050 ma GRITTY In
order TO win by that figure ho will hava
10 carry the city by an Unprecedented
majority and at least break even with
Mr.. Hughes in the upstate counties.
Expects Labor Support.
One factor which he expects 10 operata
in His favor and which IS very likely
10 be realized is heavy support in the
industrial centers from Troy TO Cohoes
in the eastern part of the state, TO Buff
falo in the west
The Hearst drift commenced with his
successful upstate meetings over "a
week ago at Ogdcusburg and Saratoga.
followed by the ovation at Madison
Square Garden with which he was well
coined back 20 New York city Then
followed good meetings on the East Side
indicating that his heavy following OF
a year ago In that quarter was still at
his back.
Thursday nights labor demonstration
at Madison Square Garden was not the
most successful meeting as TO speeches
the campaign has developed, but there
was a tremendous outpouring of people.
Whirlwind Dash Up State.
Mr.. Hearst made a whlrlwind dash
last night into Albany and Rensselaer,
counties and encountered the most en-
thusiastic Ovations he has received out

and has displayed stolid Indifference
