 (Conunued from First PageO at o'clock tonight the fate of the two candidates win have been deter mined. Everywhere throughout the city here and throughout all the other cities and towns of the state every ef- fort will bo made to get out as full vote as possible and 1t isflikely to take little urging to get out an overwhelm- ingly large total this year so stirred up Is every town throughout the state, This of course means a large preslden- tial vote also That Judge Robertson will carry New Haven seems unques- toned by even the most ardent Lllley men and the question Is as to his ma jorlty here Judge Bronson carried tho city by 4,OOO eight years ago and many figure a considerably larger majority for the democratic candidate this year, Hartford and Waterbury are consid- cred ready to swell this majority and the real issue seems to be what will Bridgeport and the smaller towns Of the state say on the matter
 Presidentially speaking there seems no reasonable question about very comfortable majority for William Howard Taft That this will be in tho neighborhood of 10000 seems the con. servative opinion,
 The polls open at six this morning and will remain open until hyo this afternoon. Many of the larger fac. tories about the city win be closed fol the day or part of 1t so that every op. portunlty will be given the voters tC register their will on the absorbing question of the day in Connecticut.
 Last night, the eve of the nationa and state election. saw more interest tin New Haven than there has been ir any but local elections in the past de. cade There were crowds all around the center of the city crowds at thf republican headquarters and crowds al the demscratlc headquarters local and state The state police have been sent for and will he here to-day looking foi violation of the liquor laws, and the strictest watch will be kept for viola tions of the corrupt practices acts,
 Aside from the contest between George r. Lilley of Waterbury anc Judge A. Heaton Robertson of thl' city for the goyernorship, the chief in. terest last night centered in the con test for judge of probate between John r Studley and Edwin $ Thomas A careful canvas of the towns in the dis ! trict made during the past few day' 1 looks to the election of the former. al. though Mir Thomas has been workinl very hard ever since he>received tn, nomination
 The question of who shall be tho next representatives from New Haver \ also was a subject of a great deal O 1 discussion last evening. The demo crats claim that Judge Robertson wl | pull both William Costello and Patricl s Cunningham to victory They sa! that the labor vote for NIT Costello who is president of the Trades Counci will more than offset the German vot, for Alderman Emil Loos, the republ can nominee. Patrick s Cunningham last night said that he was condden of being elected second representatiy and Frank $ Bishop, the republica, nominee, said that he believed tha both he and Mir Loos would put through.
 A careful canvas makes 1t appea that the republicans in the election to day will lose ono of their scnatoria districts, the Tenth, and that John II l Courtney will be elected succeeding Franklin l.. Homan, the present sena tor. who declined to stand for re nomination. The republicans conccd the election of John F. Shanley in tA Eleventh district, though they ga that his majority will be reduced oye that of two years ago J j. Lawtoi has been husting against Major Den his A. Blakeslee in the Ninth district but the wards comprising the distric are so strongly republican that 1 looks as if he would be unsuccessful The democrats concede the election J Captain Luzerne Ludington in in Eighth.
 Mayor Tom Reilly of Meriden Ina been husting during the past fey weeks and said yesterday that h thought he had a very good chanc to be elected over Congressman \ D. Sperry. pere q. Walmo, Congress man Sperry's political agent said tha he did not believe, after Q caretu canvas of the district, that Mr. Sper rvs plurality would be reduced
