quently sees an end to the propaganda
of state campaign, found the republican
candidate for governor this year hard at
work making speeches, ard his head
quarters busy issuing campaign state
ments. In contrast to this republican
activity, the democratic campaign man
ayers called their task practically fin
ished tonight. The democratic candidate
delivered his last campaign speech this
afternoon and is awaiting the verdict CT

Claims of Rival Chairmen.
The rival state chairmen issued their
claims and forecasts today. Ezra Prem

He conceded that his candidate for gov
ernor would run behind the rest of the
ticket.

carrying both branches of the legisla-
ture are very bright. The entire ticket
will run close up to the head. Mr.. Dix
will not finish so far ahead Of the other
candidates as some think"

Although Henry l.. Stimson, the repub-

state tour late last night. he took the
stump again this afternoon. His route
was confined to Manhattan and he kept
going until midnight. This afternoon he
made one speech and tonight seven. The
most important rally was at Cooper
