for the mayoralty announcing that
he will win.
Though Charles F. Murphy stin refused
10 make known the figures he had receIv-
ed from his district leaders. It is pretty
well known around the Wigwan that the
returns they handed in on Saturday pre-
dicted the election OF Judge Gaynor, but
expressed some doubt OF the election OF
the rest Of the city ticket and OF the
Manhattan Borough and New York Coun-
ty tickets.
I am not giving out any figures this
year" Mr.. Murphy repeated to-day. be
cause have made it policy for The last
Two or three years not TO make any pre-
dictions in figures. but there is no doubt
that Judge Gaynor VIII win"
Murphy Puts Hearst Second.
Mr. Murphy repeated, also. that re
thought that Hearst would run second.
and when he was pressed about the pros
poets OF the borough and county tickets.
he replied:
I've Just told you I'm not going into
figures. I've been al through the re-
ports made at the meeting OF the execu-
tive committee, and they show that tho
Democratic tickets viii win. But coma
around here tomorrow night. and then
III be able to tell you who the next
mayor viii be"

He made several bets on Barnard at
what he considered good odds.
one OF the first bets he put over wsa
with J. r. Joseph Mr.. Isman bet 10
seph $500 to 5000 that Barnard would
get more votes than the Civil Alliance
candidate. he made a combination bet
with Bob Rose. Isman laid 81 900 against
Roses 100 that they would finish this
way: Gaynor. Barnard. Hearst.
Ismsn was willing 10 go heavily on the
that Barnard would win. He
wanted the best odds he could get. bur
the best the bookmeksrs would Law him
was Is TO 5. Al that, he had 20 make
one bet at 3 70 l before he could get
the advantage Of the IS to s. be bet ]. r.
Joseph 500 10 8, 800 that Barnard would
be the next mayor. Then he made an
other bet with Joseph OF 500 to s. 800 on
the same proposition.
The little bettors trailed after Isman IN
uD the Barnard tip. There
were dozen bets OF 500 10 5000. 800 70
$500 and $500 to 500 that Barnard would
