Gun1nen and Alleged High Glass Detectives Said to
 Have Been Engaged.
WAR ISSUES ARE
 BROUGHT FORWARD
Counting the Soldiers Vote Abroad if is Thought That the Men in the Camps Will Swing the
 Election.

New York, Nov. 5.-One of the bit terest political campaigns in this city's history came to close tonight with the eyes of the nation looking toward New York city because two of the four candidates for mayor have in- jected war issues into it thus making. the outcome of tomorrow: election transacted in interest the usual local controversies.
 Announcement today by District Attorney Swann that "a gunman" had confessed to knowledge of a plot to intimidate those who sought to cast their ballots for John F. Hylan, Dem- ocratic candidate, was followed by statements from Emory R. Huckner, chairman of the fusion campaign com mittee, denying that "gunmen" were to be used. MT. Buckner, whose com mittee is seeking to re-elect Mayor Michel, asserted that instead, "high class detectives" of "known and prov en ability" had been engaged to pre- vent "Tammany repeaters" from vot- ing. l
 Police Commissioner Woods an- nounced that following investigations by the police, warrants had been is- sued for the arrest tomorrow of more than 700 men if they attempt to vote
 In the issues of the campaign, May or Mitchell has, to large extent, sub- ordinated his fight against Tammany by asserting pro German influences were working to control the election, and declaring himself in complete icies. Ns
 The unique political sitaution in which the metropolis finds itself on the eve of the first wartime election in many years was puzzling tonight, even to vetern campaigners. Count ing the New York soldiers votes abroad and at many cantonments and camps in America, it is predicted that approximately 100000 ballots will be cast. It was conceded that those of the men under arms estimated at co., 900, might swing the election.
