New York. Nov 1' i'C-A owiw ' judges of the state supreme court and members of the general assembly are to be elected In New York county are Tuesday. The. lively character of the campaign that closed today, combined with an unusually heavy registration, indicates an extraordinary amount of Interest for an off-year election. The principal reasons why the pub lic and the politicians -regard the campaign as of more than the usual off-year importance are to be found in the intensified bitterness of the old fight against Tammany under the rule of "Boss" Murphy and the professed return to the democratic fold of Wm. R. Hearst, who has declared war against Murphy. - The charge that Murphy Is striving at this tim to nationally of politics has given the fight more than a state-wide interest. Murphy now dominates the Empire state situ ation, from the governorship down. It is generally understood that Leader Murphy intends to be a power in the next democratic , national convention. He realizes that substantial victory this fail will Bn tar tnwrrt. .naMU. him to control the New Ynrk lioW. tlon to the national convention, and luumeniauy me nomination of a pres ident, for it Is generally believed that New York will be In a position where its 90 delegates, thrown to one side or the other, will decide who shall be the nominee. William R. Hearst "evidently sizes up the situation In about the same way as does Mr. Murphy. He has. therefore, taken time by the forelock with the intention of -ft defeating Murphy and then becoming a candi date for the democratic presidential nomination. Fusion against Tamany la the plan adopted to , bring about Murphy's defeat. The fusion move ment is supported by representatives of the republican party, the Indepen dence league, the Citizens' union, and other so-called Independent organiza tions. Tina Fusionlste have nomlnat , ed a complete anti-Tammany ticket, wuii-u una mo enuornemeni oi many of the so-called good government or ganizations, ' Tammany is making Its strongest fight for the office of sheriff, with Ju lius Harburger, a well known pollti- ; clan, as the organization candidate-. j Opposing Mr. Harburger. on the Fu- elon slate Is John J. Hopper, who ran for governor on , the Independence league ticket a year ago. ' I Tammany Is fortunate this year in J having no Internal strife. There Were but none of the old leaders was re tired, and the organization Is In as fine a ftgihtlng trim as It has been In years. Gorman Expects to Win In Maryland. , Baltimore, Md.. Nov. 4. The voters of Maryland Next Tuesday will elect state officers. Including a governor, controller and attorney general. Un- pder ordinary circumstances the demo crats would be certain of victory, but conditions are somewhat unusual this year, and the republicans believe they have more than a fighting chance to win. Their candidate for governor Is Phillips Lee Goldsborough, who has rsn collector of Internal revenue for this district. The democratic nominee Is Arthur Pue Gorman, Jr.. who as pires to lead the democrats of Mary land as his father led them for many years. Both Gorman and Goldsbor ough were nominated by direct prl mary. : ' ' . The anti-Gorman democrats, among them Governor Crothers. ex-Governor Warfleld, Senator Rayner and other of he old conservative party leaders supported State Senator Blair Lee for the nomination for governor. Gor man's nomination, according to their nlleeatlons. resulted from sharp prac tlces at the primaries. The approach nf elertlon dar has not served to heal the split between the rival factions and the republicans beiiew tnai manv nf the conservative democrats will vnt for Goldsborough. Gorman, how ever, has a Btrong organization, and his supporters declare he will pull through despite the apparent drift i a?Mnst him. - Not Amomr the Ponbtrni Mates. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 4.

A coraylet set of state officers and many mem-- bens of a legislature which will elect a successor to United States Senator Paynter will be chosen at the election In Kentucky next week. The liquor Issue, a revival of charges In connec tion with the Goebel case, and the exchange of many bitter personalities on the stump have combined to make j the campaign which closed today one' of the most vituperative that has been ' cpeen In tbh Blue GraBs state In many years.
