STILL SEEKING VOTES mival Candidates BtaSlag Cyclonlo Close of Bataarkabla right Uoorul SpeeUI Servire.t New- Tork. Nov. e. Ordinarily a cam paign for governor closes the Satur day night before the election, but there haa .been nothing ordinary about this campaign, and on neither aide will the work of addressing and exhorting the voters be abandoned until a few hours before the polls are opened Tuesday morning. The Tammany people held a big mass "meeting last night. Aa to the result of the votlns? next Tuesday there was never before such a wide dissimilarity In opinions of the election prophets. Hearst is still de claring that ha wlU ba elected by a' plurality of 100,000, ' and tha Hughes people sra claiming the same plurality fur their candidate. Mughes himself Is very confident of election. The drift toward Hughes has been unmistakable In the last week or so. Up to that time Hearst seemed to have a large lead. The danger In the situation was admitted In- private at Republican atata headquarters. Slowly, however, the tide began to turn. .. The work that Hughes himeelf waa doing had the effect of dispelling to some ex tent the lethargy, which eeemed to be set 'the Republicans up state, and the tide toward htm kept increasing. Then came the double thunderclap of Sec retary Root'a speech at Utlca, In which, aa the representative of the' president; ho arraigned the Democratla candidate. and the cablegram and interview - of Richard Croker, In which Hearst was denounced and Charles F. Murphy se verely criticised for turning over the Buffalo 'convention to the candidate of tha Independence league. ' Unquestionably since then the'Twing has been for Hughes, but will It be strong enough? There Is no blinking at the fact that Hearst Is still a strong candidate. ' The enthusiasm at the meet ings where ha speaks is described as twice ss Intense ss that which greets' Hughes. Of -course, there is much cu riosity to hear Hearst, a man who haa advertised himself so widely, but this does not explain tha almost hysterical enthusiasm he arouses.
