mittee, estimated that Dix would get
between 10000 ard 2o.0o0 there.
Chairman Prentice said the estimate
OF 10000 plurality for Dix in New York
County made by Lloyd c. Griscorn pres
foent Of the Republican County Com
mittee, was considerably higher than the
figures he had seen.
Taking these figures. however. at
their highest" said Mr. Prentice. New
York. 10000: Kings, 10000, and giving
Dix plurality of 10000 in Queens and
Richmond. which is $500 more than
Chanier's plurality in Queens and Rich
mond two years ago. would give Dix a
plurality in greater New York of 10000.
This will give Stimson a plurality in the
entire state of I04,b73."
The latest reports, Mr.. Prentice de-
clared, showed that the feeling against
Mr.. Roosevelt seemed TO be subsiding,
while the feeling against Dix seemed to
be growing on account Of the exposition
Of the labor record OF the Democratic
candidate.
These reports" said the Republican
chairman, disclose that While in the
cities and larger towns the feeling
against Roosevelt viii cause the loss of
many thousand votes, there is a tre-
mendous drift to the Republican ticket
because of Roosevelt and because of the
disclosures abouts Dix's attitude toward
labor, which Will far more than offset
the loss TO the Republican ticket on ac-
count of Roosevelt.
Since the reports began to come In
about ten days ago the number of per-
sons who intended to vote against Stim-
son, because of their feeling against
Roosevelt. has steadily decreased, and
since RooseveIt's upstate tour the num-
her of Democrats who intend to vote for
Stimson has steadily increased Reports
within the last four or five days. partic-
ulariy from the labor centres, show an
enormous increase in the number of
Democrats who intend to vote for Slim

Joseph Cassidy, Democratic leader in
Queens County, claims a Dix plurality
Of from 1900 to $1,000 Francis w.
tEdgerton, secretary of the Republican
organization there, declares that Dix's
plurality will be less than 1000
Frank VI. Patterson. of the Democratic
executive committee. predicts that Dix
viii have a plurality OF $500 in Rich
rnond. The Republicans do not give out
any exact figures but do not acknowl-
edge that Dix will have any plurality in
Richmond.
Mr.. Huppuch declares he does not see
how Stimson can possibly come 10 the
New York City line with a plurality of
,1ore than $1,000. He did not give out
any detailed figures, but when asked for
an estimate he said:
IT am going TO stand by my estimate
cf 10000 10 10000, made two days ago.

conditions will the Dix plurality fall

sad experience when Judge Alton
z. Parker was defeated in 1904 in f1g7Ir-
ing on pluralities. Mr. Rodie. being one
Of the mana gers of the Parker cam
paigp, was not willing TO concede so
high a Dix plurality as Mr. Huppuch
All he was willing TO say was that he
did not see how Mr. Dix could get less
than 100, GOO.
Charles T. Murphy was not willing TO
make any predictions as to the size Of
the Democratic vote in New York
County. From private sources, how
ever. it was learned that the verbal re-
ports he received yesterday were not at
sll encouraging. Some of the Assembly
leaders told him the best they could do
would be 10 raise the vote received by
Chanler two years ago by from 200 to
400 If every Assembly district in the
county should give no more than an
average of 300 more than two years ago
rhe Dix plurality would be not more

The Democrats are sorely puzzled over
she labor vote and the East Side vote
They are afraid Roosevelt has assured
the East Side vote for Stimson, and they
'are sure that the labor record of Dix as
portrayed 10y the Republican campaign
managers has cut into the Democratic
labor vote in a most alarming fashion.
