While in Minnesota willis -, Calder

a talking point of President Wilson'S

his action aided their cause Several
contests have centred about war records

ESTIMATES IN CITY

man Victory bylI5O,OOO.

Samuel s. Koeni=. president Of the
New York, county Republican commit
tee, after going over most carefully the
canvasses made by his leaders made the
following prediction last night:
"A careful estimate OF the probable
results in New York county indicates
that Mr.. Smiths plurality will not he
more than $4,000. AMI 1t is not likely to
reach that figure.
"Of the twenty-three Assembly dis
trcts in the county the Seventh, Ninth,
Tenth, Eleventh, Fifteenth Nineteenth.
Twenty hrst and Twenty-third will give
Il plurality for Gov. Whitman.
Mr.. Smith will carry the First, Sec
ond, Third. Fifth. Twelfth, Thirteenth,
Fourteenth, Sixteenth. Eighteenth.
Twentieth and Twenty-second districts.
The Thirteenth and Twenty-second will
be close and 1t would not surprise me II
both were carried by the Governor.
The result in the Fourth. Sixth.
Eighth and Seventeenth districts is In
doubt. These districts were carried by
the Socialists last year. and while their
vote will be considerably reduced SUI
ficient number of ballots will be cast to
make the result close among the three
parties. In any event IL is safe to pre-
dict that Mr.. Smith cannot figure on
any substantial majorities in these four
districts.
AS to the result in the state, am
certain Of the reelection of Gov. Whit
man by a majority that will exceed
$50 600"

Democrat Has Chance for Election
for First Time in History.

MONTPELIER, Vt. Nov. 2.--The choice
OF a Governor, which contest will over
shadow all others in Vermont next Tues
day, will have a peculiar interest because
Of the attitude of the candidates toward
the ratification by the. next Legislature

to the Federal Constitution. Vermont
has never elected a Democratic Governor
and usually there has been comparatively
very little interest.
This year prohibition was made an
issue at the Republican primary and

was nominated. The Republican, part.
which had been expected to indorse pro-
hibition. did not meet in convention be-
cause OF the influenza epidemic.
The Democratic convention took no
action on prohibition but its candidate
for Governor, DR.. William b. Mayo, an
nounced that he favored ratification.
Thereupon the Prohibition party in
dorsed his candidacy. 1t is expected
that the attitude of tho two candidates
will influence a considerable number Of
voters.
Vermont will not elect United
States Senator Republican leaders say
that Representatives Frank l.. Greene
and Porter H. Dale will be returned with
the usual Republican plurality.
