The Republican leaders expect that
more than half million Republican
votes will be po4led at the primaries
throughout the state to-day and that
the total for the Democratic designees
will reach about 100000.
Samuel S. Koenig, president of the
Republican County Committee, said
last night that probably 10000 votes
would be cast in New York County, and
he was of the opinion that $4,000 would
be cast in Kings.
with but few data to base the esti-
mate on, 1 should think" said Mr..
Koenig, "that the candidates Endorsed
by the regular Republican organization
i'll the state as whole would win by
about three to one. think that Judge
Miller will lead Senator Thompson even
by larger ratio than this. Probably
the opposition to the regular organiza-
ton ticket in this county will poll
about 5000 or 5000. l doubt if the
difference between the vote for Judge
Miller and Senator Wadsworth will be
more than 500 in New York County"
Claims Every County for Miller
Addison B. Parker, campaign man.
ager for Judge Nathan L. Miller. of
Syracuse, Republican designee for Gov
ernor, said that Miller would carry
every county in the state. Herbert L.
CARPENTER, manager for Senator George
+. thompson, Judge Miller's opponent,
SAID that Thompson people would carry
R,lngs County by 10000, and that
thompson stood to win in the state.
JACOB A. Livingston, Republican or
ganlzation leader i'm Kings, said that
Judge Miller would carry the Republi-
can primaries by largo majority.
The Anti-Saloon League. through
William H. Anderson, issued the fol-
lowing statement about Senator Thomp-
sons chances in the primary: Senator
thompson is sure to win in the primary
II those enrolled Republicans, particu-
iarly the, women, who oppose the things
ne mas been exposing and favor the
things he has been advocating, come
out and vote in the primary, unless the
moral element is indifferent or foolish
enough to believe the claim of the ma
chine bosses that he has no chance"
Supporters of Senator James W.
Wadsworth jr. are confident that with
the opposition to him divided in the
candidates. of Mrs. Ella A. Boole and
Tax Commissioner George Henry
Payne the Senator will have an easy
they believe that his large margin will
materially aid him in the general cleo
ton i'll November.
Statement by Lunn
Mayor George r. Lunn of Schenec-
tady, candidate for the Democratic
nomination for United States Senator,
last night issued this statement from
his headquarters:
~ have fought hard in this cam
paign against the heaviest odds. Muir
phys steam roller has been put in the
best possible shape for vigorous &C
tivity tomorrow. He will seek to crush
has the hardihood to express an opin-
ion in the Democratic party differing
from his. am delighted with the
splendid reception which has been &C.
corded me by thousands Of Democrats
upstate. The cordiality of the recep-
ton in Brooklyn and New York on the
part Of the crowds whom I have ad-
dressed has been most gratifying
"Whether l shall win over Mr.. Muir
phys candidate depends on the number
OF Democrats who will go to the polls
and exercise their own judgment with
Murphy. Not as matter Of conceit
but as a statement of coolest Judgment,
| know | can beat Wadsworth in the
election if / am nominated. My Demo-
cratic opponent cannot win the cleo
ton. Few people in the state know
him. He has carefully concealed his
stand on most Of the national issues.
IF the Democrats Of New York City
who are not tied to Charles F. Murpn
will go to the polls tomorrow and vote
| will be nominated"
Wise Urges Lunn's Nomination
DR.. Stephen S. Wise, who is an indie
pendent Democrat, speaking last night
at Broadway and Ninety sixth Street,
in behalf of Mayor Lunn, earnestly re-
quested every Democrat to vote for
him.
John H. McCooey, the Democratic
organization leader In Kings, said that
all the Democratic designees, includ-
ing the Republican justices Endorsed
by the Democrats, are honest and ca
pable and deserved the solid support
of the party.
Stanley Howe, campaign manager for
Major Robert McC. Marsh, candidate for
the Supreme Court in the LIST Judic al
District, yesterday called the attent on
of Republican voters to the fact tnat
Major Marsh's name was last on the
ballot and explained the necessity of
their carefully inspecting it before
voting.
There are twelve names on the bal
lot" he said, land Major Marsh drew
