There are ct the present time thirty

there are as matter Of fact thirty
-four. This situation is met by having
dual leadership in three districts, the
Fourth. Ninth and Eighteenth Tn proo-

tion is to make the nu:nocr of leaders,
or executive committeeman. jbe with the
number of Assembly districts.
There will be nine Senatorial districts
In this county under the plan of re-
appottonment now being conside- ed by
the Legislature. Tammany men say That
the Republicar Legislators have cou;y.v,d
To arrange lhes. districts - that on
strong Republican Senatorial districts
there will br three Assembly districts,

SEEM WORRIED

international News Service:
NEW YORK, Nov. 9. - Any one
meeting Charles Evans Hughes IN
the lobby Of the Hotel Aston this
morning would not have suspected
that a hairs breadth separated him
from the highest office in the great
est country in the world. II the
former judge had been passing upon
supreme court case his judicial
calm could not have been any more
pronounced. The candidate smiled
and chatted with friends and appar-
emily was giving no thought TO the
uncertainties of politics
The only sign of anxiety Mr..
Hughes gave was his eager reading
of the election news in the morning
papers.
Mr.. Hughes went TO bed about
midnight, after comforting with
Chairman Wilcox, and was up be-
fore 9 o'clock. He had no special
plans for the day aside from confer
ences with some of his political
managers and a motor ride.
