State Chairman Huppuch was shy as
ever yesterday about giving out particulars
about the campaign. He said he might
have some estimates later. but II was
doubtful. As matter Of fact, il is said
that the reports from the various county
chairmen have not been so good as had
been looked for earlier IN the campaign
Il will say this. however" declared Mr..
Huppuch, we have analysed a falling on
in registration in eight upstate counties,
amounting in all to 1900. and have discov-
cred that four-ffths of it is Republican"
What were the countless" Mr. Hup- |
puch was asked
Immediately the state chairman grew /
shy and said: Il would rather not tell I
that. l will go further. however and say /
that in a city in one of these counties /
where the total vote is $500, We have found |
a falling off of 500 Republicans in the regis /
.ration. as compared with So Democrats"
Chairman Huppuch, after some coaxing. |
said that the city to which he referred was /
Corning in Steuben County.
