chairman Prentice Of the Republican !
State Committee Yesterday raised MS
estimate OF the probabl plurality of
Henry l.. Stimson for Governor to ILL.,
49,.
Saturday he predicted the election of
the Republican candidate by loi,Jt3, but
he revised these figures Yesterday on the
receipt Of reports from additional cleo
ton districts upstate. He now has re
ports from 2.S51 out Of total of 3,o6i
districts outside the greater city.
Based on these reports. Mr.. Prentice /
made a calculation that the vote outside
this city will be as follows:
sTIMsoN 81, s3ts ,si2 si2
HOPPER NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 1o143
PLURALITY FOR sTIMsON. ........- 1s1.4S1
Estimating the Dix plurality in Great
er New York at 10000. Chairman Prem
tee figures a Stimson plurality in the
state of Ill. .431.
The heaviest gains" said Mr.. Prem
tice have been in the reports from cleo
ton districts in certain parts of Buffalo
and throughout Schenectady and Am
sterdam, which show a tremendous loss
in the Democra tic vote and a corre-
spending gain for Stimson. If these re
ports are correct Stimson Will carry Erie
County by over 1000
Mr.. Prentice said that he talked with
many county chairmen on the long dis
tance telephone in the course of the day,
particularly in those counties where
there have been factional differences in
the party.
I'm every instance" said the state
chairman, 1T was reported to me that
the meetings of the county committees
had been harmonious, and that there
would be no loss TO the Republican ticket
of the organization"
Growth of Stinson Sentiment
From every county in the state the re-
ports have been increasingly encourag-
ing in the last week People who a
along had predicted the election of Mr..
Dix have entirely changed their ideas,
and now declare that Mr.. Stimson will
win.
Lloyd G. Griscom, president of the
New York County Republican Commit
tee reiterated his assertion last night
that the normal Democratic majority in
| this county would he cut to 10000. He
declared his belief that the Roosevelt
issue raised by the Democrats had lost
them five votes to every one gained. Nr.
Griscom said that the campaign of Mr..
Dix on the East Side had been entirely
| ineffective.
AT the close of the campaign. when
the canvasses from every section of the
state have been received" Mr.. Griscom
said lit becomes more and more ap-
parent that Mr.. Stimson and the whole
Republican ticket are certain of cleo
tion.
THE Democratic campaign has been
based on the false assumption that by
violently attacking Colonel Roosevelt
the real state issues and the merits or
dement's of the candidates could be OBJ
scured.
Mr.. Stimson has conducted an ad
mrab BILE campaign with such dignity.
frankness and force that his personality
has dominated the situation.
THE Democratic campaign managers
decided to keep Mr.. Dix away from the
voters and the wisdom of this policy be-
ton of that party made it necessary to
bring him to New York and force his ap-
pearance on the East Side.
