DEMOCRATS MAKE CLAIMS
New York, Nov. 6.-With Governor
Whitman and Samuel Seabury, re-
publican and democratic candidates
for governor, respectively, making
final appeals to voters of this city,
the New York campaign closed to-
night, only a few hours before the
polls opened. The head of each tick
ct joined his campaign managers in
predicting with serene confidence the
outcome of the balloting.
Because New York is regarded as
pivotal state in the presidential cleo
ton, chief popular interest in tomor-
rows voting centered in the contest
between President Wilson and Charles
E. Hughes. Voters of the state will
be called on, however, to elect COM
plete state ticket in addition to COVER
nor and United States senator. There
also will be chosen a congressional
delegation.
Moose to Turn Tide.
Forecast tonight of the result de-
pends upon whether the person max
ing the prediction is democrat or
republican. Both sides agreed that
the tide will be turned on the ma
tional ticket by those who voted as
progressives four years ago. The
combined Taft and Roosevelt vote in
1912 was 845,5S0, as compared with
655,573 for Wilson. In Greater New
York, which the republicans concede
will return democratic plurality this
year, the Taft-Roosevelt vote togeth-
er exceeded by 30,502 that cast for
Wilson.
While the republicans contend the
greater part of those who supported
Roosevelt four years ago will swing
to Hughes this year, the democrats
scott at their claims.
