New York, Nov. 5.-Democratic VIC
tories in New York, New Jersey and
Ohio and the election of democratic
house of representatives are indicated
by the Heard at the close of the final
work OF the campaign.
In New Yory, according to the best
information obtainable at this time,
John A Dix will receive plurality OF
approximately $4,000 and the result
will be very close on the balance Of
the ticket Figures compiled by the
Roosevelt's candidate for governor will
receive, outside Of New York City, q
plurality of 1900, $4,000 fewer than
Governor Hughes received two years
ago, with which to meet an estimated
Dix plurality in New York City of 121,-
900.
Ohio has a similar situation. While
the consensus of opinion is that Gov
ernor Harmon, the democratic nOmi-
nee, will be reelected by from 10000
to 10000, no predictions are made that
he will carry through the bulk OF the
state ticket.
An Exact Reversal.
The Herald's congressional table,
which was prepared only after the
opinions Of unbiased experts in every
state Of the union had been obtained,
indicates the election Of 217 demo-
Gratis and ia republicans, which, sin
gularly enough, is an exact reversal of
the present makeup of the house.
There are 391 meihbers in the house,
The division is now PIT republicans
and ia democrats One socialist may
be sent to congress from the fifth Wis
consin district. In the forecast he is
treated as a democrat.
While the oYerturn seems complete
and also seems TO verify the Hal
loween hobgoblins seen by republi-
cans, there are II districts in which
the balance of election day may turn
either way. Present indications give
the democrats the better Of it. These
districts are 50 close that shifting
from sunshine to storm or lucky
coup brought forth on the last day
of the campaign may turn them one
way or the other.
Tremendous Possibilities.
The forecasts Of these districts is
based upon indications as they appear
at this writing. They hold tremendous
possibilities on election day.
Victory is claimed by each of the
chairmen of the two congressional
committees. The Herald forecast is
more conservative than that of the
democrats and disagree seriously with
that of the republicans.
They are striking hard blows out in
Ohio. the home of the president, and
the struggle there is being watched
as is the battle in the Empire state
for the same reason with keenest in
terest because of the vital bearing its
result may have upon the next presi
Dental campaign. Should Governor
Harmon be elected he would loon
large AS the next democratic candidate
for president.
information gathered in state
wide canvass of New Jersey indicate
the election of Woodrow Wilson b.
something like 1000. The fight ther
will be carried right up to the poll
and shift in the situation at the las
moment would not cause surprise I
nersons who have familiarized then
selves with conditions in New Jerse.
In Connecticut, where most re
markable contest is being waged, ind
cations point to the election OF Charlf
A. Goodwin, republican, over Juds
Simeon Baldwin. Goodwin's plurall
is placed at from 5000 to $4,000.
In Massachusetts the prediction
