ELECTION RESULTS
new YORK WORLD THINKS II
POSSIBLE FOR EITHER.
Gives Several Good Reasons Why
Claims to Have a Poll Which Gives
Taft 205 and Bryan 17s. Sure-who-
ever Carries New York VIII Win
Ohio and Indiana Doubtful.

New York state demscratic a.a
Bryan wins; republican and he Loses
This is the deduction the New York
World, which supports Bryan, made
Sunday morning, from general peH
of the doubtful states taken by that
newspaper and about 20 others through
out the country. Large gains for the
democratic nominee are claimed in all
the so-calIed doubtful states except
New York, revised poll Of which
shows slight republican losses above the
Bronx over last Sundays estimate.
Ohio, Indiana, ebraska, West Vir
ginia and Maryland are classed as
doubtful and, together with New York
bring the total of doubtful electoral
votes to 100. The poll gives Taft sOs
and Bryan 178 sure votes.
Twenty-three states were chosen as
the battle ground for the campaign.
Newspapers of each of these state CO.
operated with the World in making the
Canvass
Causes for Doubt
The World gives five causes Leading
to the belief that the contest for the
presidency as in doubt. They are:
''The injection into the campaign in
some of the western states of an in
sidious and disturbing religious factor
which is working against the republic
an candidate.
"The tendency of the labor vote. to
break away from the control of all
parties, as illustrated in the surprising
spread Of the socialist cause, both in
the east and the west.
"The inability of both the republican
and democratic parties to intelligently
approximate the distribution of the
vote to be cast by an army of unem-
ployed-estimated in round numbers at
100000 voters.
"The inability of both the republican
and democratic managers to anticipate
the distribution of the colored vote in
states where it has always been classi-
fed as republican.
"ThC complete absence of an issue of
general value or vote-getting potency
TO either side.D
The World goes on to show that Mr..
Taft must carry New York state, the
chiefest of the doubtful states, to win
by a margin of two votes If he car
ries it, his election is assured. Bryan
to win must carry New York, Ohio and
Maryland or Nebraska or West Vir-
ginia, which will give him 24s votes. or
six more than is necessary to elect him.
Ii he carries New York, Indiana, West
Virginia and Nebraska or Maryland,
and yet loses Ohio, he may still be
elected by six votes. Under any com
bination he must carry New York to
win.
