CAMP PAIGN IN STATE
ENDS NECK And NECK
Republicans Sure Smiths City
Plurality Will BE Under
100000.

The State campaign in New York
ended last night.
Gov. Miller and his managers ex-
pressed their confidence they would
win because "the public is too wise 10
be fooled" Alfred +. Smith and Tam
many predicted Democratic land
slide that would give them complete
control OF the entire State Govern
ment
Half a million votes lie between the
two claims. The Republicans assert
Smith will not inherit the Hylan land
slide OF last year and that his plu
rality in the metropolis will fall below
100000. Tamniany predictions are
that Smith will break all records, that
he will pass Hylan's $4,000 and wipe
out whatever plurality the Governor
may get up state.
Discounting extravagant claims OF
both sides. political observers consid-
cred II a fairly close ending. with Smith
unquestionably making rapid gains IN
the closing days OF the campaign and
with much uncertainty obscuring the
Up State situation. They say the Smith
swing here has not yet reached the pro-
portion Of landslide. Republicans.
however, now admit DETECTION in the
w state cities which are disconcerting.
II Smith makes the startling squirt on
the finish which Tammany processes TO
see, his city vote might be big enough
overbalance a reduced up state Repub-
lican plurality.
Gov. Miller Is perfectly confident Of
winning. At the windpp he~said;
"The Republican State ticket Is going
TO win. The reason is simple. The peo-
pie are too intelligent. too wideawake,
too well read TO beefooled these days.
Specious arguments and fraudulent
promises cannot be passed Off any more.
THE people want good government.
hUmane2 efficient economical govern
ment. They want the kind OF Governor
that nobody seeking the best of Il can
reach. That's the kind OK government
they have had for two years. That's the
kind OF Governor have been. IAN the
sreers and all the mendacity cannot
change that fact"
Charles r. Murphy and the Tam
many chiefs predicted no figures. They
never DO But 70 was said In the Hall
that the inside. confidential nSurcs
were so big they we're amazing and
hardly could be believed. These are
based on canvass made IN each As
sembly district II is known that the
final figure handed to Mr.. Murphy last
night. based on all the Tammany re-
ports. gives Smith close to 10000 plural
ity N the metropolis. Because " was 50
big. the Tammany men decided there
might be something wrong with A. and
would not make II public.
John H. McCooey, In Brooklyn,
claims that the Democrats will carry
that borough for Smith by 10000 at
I least The Republicans In Kings place
I the plurality there at around 5000.
Mr.. Smith shared the confidence Of his
managers and the Tammany leaders.
| To his associates on the Smith commit
tee he expressed his confidence that he
l would win easily
