Results of a careful canvass by cleo
ton districts throughout the state con-
vince the managers Of Harvey D. Hin
man that he will be nominated Tot
Governor. The blanks for this canvass
went out some time ago, and the re-
turns are about all in, but the tabuia-
ton has not been completed IN all
cases. The returns give the indicated
vote for all three candidates.
John b. Rose. one Of the Human
managers, speaking Of the result OF
the canvass in this city last night
figured that the total vote cast in the
Republican primaries would not be
more than $4,000, out of total en-
rolment of about $4,000. His figures
show Whitman $4,000, Hedges 10000
and Human 16,60o.
The Hinman managers have al
along conceded this city to whitman
They assert, however, that the MN
man plurality upstate will more than
Offset the advantage that whitman
will have down here.
"Our analysis of the situation 10
date" said Mr.. Rose, sis that out OF
the total enrolment in New YORK
County of 56,108, with reduction OF
40 ner cent owing to deaths and re-
movals, which the police census shows
absolutely, leaves $4,000, the maximum
vote which could be cast if every en-
rolled Republican entitled to vote cast
his vote on primary day. An eX-
nerience of twenty-five years teaches
MS that YOU can safely deduct from
this at least 10000 votes, being those
who are entirely indifferent or have no
personal interest in the candidates OF
the result. Out of $4,000 votes -FOUR
districts are for Human, IN one Oh
which there is the largest KepuoNeah
enrolment in the state. To-day the
canvass shows 1000 10 be for MnlV-
man, 5000 for Hedges and o'OoV lor
