Mr.. Smith tho Senatorial contest be-

for good deal of attention. Mr..
Calder Is conceded by Democratic

position on the prohibition issue is

sections Of tho state. Democratic
leaders of Brooklyn concede that he
will receive a very handsome vote for
reasons largely local.
The contests for the forty-three

the probable distribution OF indcpend-
ent Republican and Democratic and
Socialist votes.
The independent Voters.
Two years ago Mr., Smith received a
very substantial percentage OF votes
coming within this classifcati ton,
which was conclusively established by
the fact that whereas President Har-
ding had 100000 plurality In the Ave
boroughs Of the city, Mr.. Smith was
awarded $4,000 plurality in the same
districts. The independent Republ-
can and Democratic vote OF the city
has always been an uncertain guam
tity difficult to diagnose and success
fully prognosticate. The Independent
vote OF New York has never been sue
cessfully controlled by either party and
It's decisions are usually dictated by
individual opinion. II voters OF this
class are convinced that Mr.. Miller's
record Is better than Mr.. Smiths he
will unquestionably receive a great
many thousand OF independent votes
which supported the Democratic cam
ddate two years ago.
When Mr.. Smith was nominated AT
Syracuse a month ago the Socialist
leaders of the city regarded him with
! favor and heralded the radical plat
form adopted by the convention which
nominated him as entirely to their
liking. Tho Socialist leaders hive since
revised their opinion OF the Demo
cratic candidate. They do not hesi-
tate 10 denounce him as being only
n little less" conservative than Gov
Miller. Socialists declare that many
thousands of voters usually ella ssified
as Republicans or Democrats are
manifesting n surprising amount oi
sympathy for the Socialist program.
| They attempt to explain 1t by de
ciaring that these voters are dlsgusted
with both the two major parties. and
see little actual difference between
Gov. Miller and MIR. Smith. The SO.
cialists therefore feel justified In dc.
claring that their vote will exceed tho
las 900 polled by them two years ago
They further contend that large per.

sional candidates valuable support.
Wherefore there appears to be more,
confidence that Gov. Miller is making
successful appeal to independent
voters who are normally Republican
than is usually the case. a
No better illustration OF the con-
fusion and uncertainties that perplex
the expert mind can be obtained any
where than around tho hotels and
Broadway district and some OF the
more popular lunching places down
town. The most definite Impressions
that an inquisitive reporter brings
away from such places ls that the
statisticians, dopestcrs and betting
men regard the contest between Gov.
Miller and Mr.. Smith as too close
for comfort or confidence"
The same experts agree that the
issue will be decided by the voters in
the sixty-two Assembly districts Of
the nve boroughs of the city and will
TURN almost solely on the extent of
Democratic detection from Mr.. Smith
as compared with two years ago

/ cede that Mr. Miller is stronger III

is also true in the case of Gov. Miller
and his party.
Tnmmany Vote Solid.
Satisfied, with the exception Of one
or two weak spots" up the State, Re
publican plans contemplate. an assault
on some of the less substantial links
in the Democratic chain of defense in
the city. Apostasy of the Tammany
organization. however. is not one of
them and the more rational Repub-
lican leaders do not hesitate to assert
that Mr.. Smith will receive every vote
that the Tamnany orga nization can
deliver TO him.
II is matter of opinion. of course,
whether the Democratic candidate is
as strong in New York city as he was
two years ago. The professionals and
sporting element who are rarely in
fuenCed by sentimental considerations
do not think he Isl but they still be-
ieve that he is strong enough to hold
at least $50. 900 of the 3l7 900 plurality
he received over Mr.. Miller in the Ave
boroughs of the city. They think this
will win.
Many reasons are naturally ad-
vanced to explain the alleged depre-
citation of Mr.. Smiths value as n vote
getter in the city districts The
apathetic support given him by the
agencies which usually reflect the
wishes OF Mr.. Hearst is one of them
The best that is said of the Hearst
support by Tammany leaders is that
elements which respond to the in
fluenCe Of Mr. Hearst are not openly
attacking the Democratic candidate
Encoura cement to the supporters of
Surrogate Cohalan in his personal feud
