New York, Nov AT both Repub-
lican and Democratic headquarters to-
day it was announced that the work
of the respective organizations in the
campaign was at an end. National
Chairman Hitchcock, of the Republi-
can committee, and National Chair
man Mack of the Democratic commit
tee, are going home to vote and Will
return Tuesday afternoon to receive
the returns.
Mack and Hitchcock adhered to the
forecasts given out Friday and Satur-
day the Democratic chairman contend
ing that Bryan will receive 335 votes
and Hitchcock announcing that posi-
lively in his belief, Taft will have 325
votes in the electoral college. As
only 242 votes are necessary to elect
both chairmen are figuring on wide
margins
AT Republican headquarters today Il
was asserted that Macks estimate OF
335 votes for Bryan had been expected
in view of the same claims made earl
ier in the campaign. 1t was further
sal dthat Mack had included in his
list states that were practically con
ceded by state leaders to be Republi-
can. It was also said that Hitchcock
was willing to stand or fall by his pre-
diction OF 325 votes for Taft made on
Friday
Mack declared today that the only
thing that can defeat Bryan is the cor,
rupt use of money"
we are through said Hitchcock
today. "Our fight is won"
Hitchcock announced that there hal
ceased 10 be any doubt as to Republi
can success in such states as Indiana,
Ohio and New Jersey, all claimed by
Mack. and it was added by a member
of his staff that the Republican ma
tional committee is as sure of New
York as it is of Pennsylvania. Re
publican County Chairman Parsons, Of
New York county, summarized the
situation in Manhattan and the Bronx,
two of the five boroughs included in
Greater New York, thus
IF Bryan carries New York couu
ty at all it will be by a plurality of
10000 TO 10000 District leaders be
lieye Governor Hughes will run not
more than 20,000 behind Taft in this
county"
Mack said today his claim that Bry-
an and Kern will receive 335 votes in
the electoral college is based on re-
ports received from state chairmen
and from private sources. State Chair
man Conners has predicted that Bry-
an win receive more than 10000 plur-
ality i'm the state. and that Chaniec
will get more than 100000.
The New York state campaign is
practically at an end, although Gov
ernor Hughes viii make ten speeches
in Greater New York tomorrow. Lieu
tenant Governor Chanler, his Demo.
cratic opponent, will spend tomorrow
i'm and around his home town of Red
Hook in Duchess County.
Both the Democratic and Repub.
lican state leaders claimed today to
be confident of success. Political OBJ
servaters who have canvessed the
state frankly admit that they are in
doubt and that there is no possible
way in which the result can be fore
casted.
From every quarter came reports
of Republican detection from Govern
or Hughes. but the Republican leaders
do not credit these reports.
Newspapers that have made non
partisan canvasses OF the state an
nounce today that the result of Tues
days balloting on the state ticket car
not be foretold.
