paign Managers.

with the windup OF a months lively
campaign last night the rival political
managers and candidates in Brooklyn
are apparently equally confident Of sue
cess at the polls on Tuesday. The total
registration foots up 2i7,337 and h"
statistic'ans figure hat about 20o 600
votes will be recorded on the Republican
and democratic tickets.
LAS; year. although the Democratic
party enrolment exceeded the Repuhl'-
can by i5.522. the majority for Glynn
In the Gp,ernorship contest oulS
amounted to Abb. This ~Shrinkage in
the Democratic vote was due. according
TO the party managers, to fractional dis
s.nsions, which do not prevail this year.

the organization is more solid and united
than in several years and that the

The ma ~iorities for the candidates lac

to 10000.
ON the Republican side the campaign
managers express the utmost confidence
for the success Of all their leading can
didates by most substantial maJorities.
Congressman Calder made the predtc-
ton that Callaghan. the Republican can
dldate for supreme Court Justice, would
defeat Congressman John 7. Fitzgerald,
the Democratic nominee, by close 20
$4,000.
Warden Patrick Hayes, who was long
prominent In Democratic politics in the
old city Of Brooklyn and who has taken
a liv v interest in the present campaign,
believes that there will br a substantial
Democratic victory all along the line.
This. he says. will be largely due to the
cutting down of salaries by the Mitchell
administration and the excessive taN
rate,

Brooklyn election figures predict til" cleo

majority Of at least 5000 a decided
