tomorrow night. and the usual grist Of
Monday night w!nd-up speeches about
the CITY, the indications point 20 close
contest for the control OF the Empire
state Tuesday. There IS a perfect storm
OF conflicting claims, but the shrewdest
are not looking for a landslide The
prevailing opinion OF impartial Observ-
ers Is that the chances favor the elec-
ton OF John A. Dix. the Democratic
nominee for governor, by a comfortable
but not z huge majority.
Right up TO the last, the Democratic
managers are continuing IN frame OF
mind OF absolute confidence They do
not see how they can lose. They are
relying on the assurances Of old guard
Republicans that they VIII turn against
Stimson and rend him on account OF
Roosevelt. They. expect TO profit exten-
sively by this Republican treachery' or
whatever one chooses 10 call il, both
upstate and in Greater New Yor'-
G. o. P. Fighting Hard

that the odds are against Republican
success, but not despairing OF getting
Mr.. Stimscn through by a close shave.

the fact they have been getting re

In this situation the Republican man

Ocrats make numerous gains through
the East a perfect fury OF criticism VIII
be rained on the colonel next Wednes-
day. His enemies Will tell him that he
Is repudiated and that II Is time for him
to take 10 the woods They believe this
criticism viii be so violent that il Will
react in RoOSevelts favor, and viii re-
store him 10 the favor OF the republican
insurgents as thoroughly as he has ever
been. Already Mr.. Roosevelt has made
Il clear he has TO intention whatever OF
quitting the fight, and that he is In the

1t is a serious question now if the

fact
Whatever happens in New York the
