Race for U. S. Senator

New York State will give majority
OF at least 250,o00 to Harding and Coo
noge, according to Charles D. Hilles,
Republican National Committeeman
from New York.
Unbiased eanvasses made by experts
IN every section OF the state form the
basis Of she prediction by Mr.. Hilles.
From other sourccs it was learned
That other canvasses made with equal
care show that the Republican state
ticket Will defeat the Democratic
sicket headed by Governor Smith by
close to 100000.
Fears are entertained for United
States Senator James w. Wadsworth by
Republican leaders. Nearly all admit
that ne will run at least 100000 behind
Harding. A few express the belief that
even the big vote for the national ticket
may not pull Wadsworth through.
Opposition to Wadsworth
Prominent Republicans, men and
women, all over the state, have an
nounced that they will not vote for
Wadsworth, and will either vote for
Mrs. Ella A. Boole, who will be the
Prohibitionist candidate, or for Harry
c. Walker, who seems certain to win
over Mayor George R. Lunn of Sche-
nectady in Tuesdays primaries. The
latest Republican of note to declare
against Wadsworth, in the event Of
his carrying the Republican primaries,
which seems a foregone conclusion, is
Miss Mary Garrett Hay, formerly
oh air of ho oF
the Republican National Committee.
National Committeeman Hilles, in
commenting on the situation in New
York State, only in so far as it affects
Harding and Coolidge, however, said:
"The widespread dissatisfaction of
the voters in this state with the Fed
eral administration will insure the
election of Senator Harding and Gov
ernor Coolidge by majority of $780,
900. The voters know that the Demo-
cratic national ticket was arranged at
French Lick Springs by Messrs. Muir
ply, Taggart and Brennan, and they
izing of their government"
Addison B. Parker, chairman of the
Miller Campaign Committee, which is
looking after the political welfare of
all the designees of the unofficial Re-
publican convention. predicted the sue
cess of the selected ticket at the pri-
maries Tuesday.
Ticket Assured of Victory
Mr.. Parker said that careful esti-
mates which had been made through
out the state indicated that $4,000 Re-
publican votes would be cast on Tues
day and that Judge Miller and his asso-
ciates would be nominated by over
whelming majorities over Senator
George F. Thompson, ex-senator Will
lam M. Bennett and the others who are
running against the Saratoga designees
If Parker's estimate of the vote on
Tuesday in the Republican primaries
IL correct it will exceed the 1918 pri-
mary vote by more than 100000. At
that time Governor Whitman, with the
biggest personal organization the state
has ever known, received 295,471 votes
to the 1889 cast for Merton E.
Lewis.
While no one at the Miller headquar-
ters would lend his name to any pre-
diction of the vote which Miller and
Thompson would receive. it was gen.
orally predicted that Miller's majority
would exceed Governor Whitman's of
two years ago.
Parker predicted that Judge Miller
and his associates would win in every
county in the state.
