Lloyd C. Griscom. republican chairman
Of New York county. is out in q state
ment estimating that Dix's plurality In
the county will not exceed 10000 and not
more than 10000 in the greater city. Two
years ago Chanler. the democratic candi-
date for governor, had 49, 234 in the coun-
ty and 5D,9O in the city. The repub-
lican managers profess entire confidence
that the upstate vote for Stimson will
be ample to overcome the city's plurality
for Dix.
Stimson Again Protests.
Mr.. Stimson. speaking last night at New
Rochelle. took occasion again to repu-
date the charge that he was "Roosevelt's
