NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-With fusion
and Tammany leaders predicting
landslide tomorrow for their respective
candidates, the municipal campaign, de-
scribed by oid-time politicians as the
hveliest Of generation, came to a
close tonight with speech making in all
parts Of the city. "We will win by
100000 declared Charles f. Murphy
Of Tammany hall, who, IN the last three
weeks has been moved to break his
spbinx-like silence more often than In
any previous campaign. Fusion esti-
mates of victory ranged from $4,000 to
125,0OO. John Purroy Mitchell is the
fusion candidate for mayor, while Ed
ward Z. Mccall is the Tammany stan
dard bearer.
Information reaching police head
quarters that "strong- arm' men, gun
men, guerillas and thugs were TO be
employed to intimidate voters tomor-
row resulted in promises tonight that
700 picked policemen familiar with the
underworld characters will be assigned
to all parts of all boroughs. At mid
night tonight every police captain was

these orders, acting upon communica
tion from Mayor Kline, who had been

ernor Sulzer. In addition to the police
measures for protection for voters, war
rants were issued for the arrest Of 5000
persons and will be served as they ap-
pear at the polls. Tho warrants charge

made against Mccall today by the fu-
sion managers. It was that the Demo

treasurer Of the Republican national
committee in 1900, campaign contri-
button to help defeat the candidacy of
William Jennings Bryan for president

cratic ticket. "The records Of the
Hughes Investigation will show about
that check,'' was McCall's reply to

ance investigation of United States Su-
preme Court Justice Hughes before he
became governor Of New York.
