into the campaign IN the metropolitan
section for three days at that time. His
drive down here was TO have been re-

Big Vote Upstate Likely.
This is the last day Of registration
IN cities and towns of 5000 inhabitants
and more outside New York city. 1t is
also the last day for non-personai regis
tration. State Chairman Glynn was in
touch with various parts of the State on
the long distance telephone and received
reports that Notwithstanding the influ-
enza scare the registra tiorlS'was most
satisfactory. Everywhere. he was told,
the Republican organization IL getting
out its vote. Especially are the women
coming out In Republican districts.
Among the centres with which the
chairman talked were Syracuse. Roches-
ter, Albany, Batavia, Corning and King
ston.
The Indications are good for a tremen-
dous vote up State, the State chairman
thinks. Harry w. Ingram. chairman Of
the organization In st. Lawrence county,
reported that in the first two days there
$4,000 voters registered. and that they
expected to run, this figure UP consider
ably higher yesterday and to-day. Ac-
cording to the Red Book the entire vote
in St Lawrence county in 1916 was only
1900.
During the week Chairman Glynn has
been making a careful analysis of the
registration figures for Greater New
York. He finds the increase over 1917
much greater IN the Republican districts
than in the Democratic. In spite Of the
an increase OF only 594 in the home dis
trict OF President Smith.
Registration Figures Here.
AN analysis of the registration of
New York city. made by men who have
closely followed registration figures in
preceding years, shows the most satisfac-

Chairman Glynn. "In the ten Demo-

Of Manhattan the increased registration
Is 43.sS0: in the eight Republican dis
tricts the increase Is 50.47S. The in
crease in tho four Socialist districts is
s.43l, and in one doubtful district the
increase Is 5,672.
I'm Brooklyn the nine Democratic dis
tricts show an increase OF 1885,. The
eight Republican districts show an in
crease OF 66,396. The three Socialist
districts show an increase OF 9.+5l, and
In three doubtful districts an increase Of
1883. The districts in The Bronx and
Queens where the Republican vote IL
strongest show the largest registration
The registration Of the female voters

publican. districts OF Manhattan there
are 1854 women registered; IN the ter
Democratic districts. $3.50: in the So
