NEW YORK. Nov. 6. (Special.) On
election eve the Municipal Ownership
League is claiming the election of all of
its candidates in all boroughs, and Is the
only organization -which gives out figures.
"Mr. Hearst's majority will bo at least
63,000." declarod Campaign Manager Max
Ihmscn at the Hoffman House tonight,
He will carry Manhattan and the Bronx
by 20,000, Brooklyn by 30.000, Queens by
2000, Richmond by" 1000 and elect all five
borough presidents. Shearn will defeat
Jerome for District Attorney by 10.000."
Tammany Hall gives out no figures this
year. Usually they are Issued by Assem
bly districts, but Murphy refused to
make any estimates today.
"I think It's all right," lie said n reply
to a question. "When asked for an esti
mate as to majority or detailed figures,
he replied, "Nothing "to say."
Murphy Issues "the Dough.'
Murphy Issued "dough" to the Assem
bly district leaders for work tomorrow.
He distributed $500,000 to be used In the
1116 election districts of Manhattan and
Bronx. Some got a larger share than
others, but the average 'Is nearly" MSO'to
the ejection 'district, more than a dollar
for every' registered voter.
A flood of Hearst money in "Wall street
today and at tho Hoffman nd other up
town hotels tonight .drovofthe odds, on
McClellan down to 8 to 6, with practically
no money for Mayor in sight. It is esti
mated by the bookmaker, Sol Llchten
steln, that over $2,000,000 has been
wagered on ihe election. Jerome la a
lO-to-4 favorite: although the Osborne
betters quit early in the day. Jerome
cash Is plentiful at night with no takers.
Jerome's Parting Sltot.
McClellan, Ivins and Hearst mode no
speeches today. Jerome ended his cam
paign with a big rally at Cooper Union
and exposed a plotto defraud voters. A
circular was sent Broadcast . telling Re
publicans to vote the straight ticket by
marking crosses in both- the Republican
and Jerome circles. Under the election
law this would invalidate the ballot en
tirely. Jerome declared it a plot of
Murphy and styled It the last gasp of the
defeated boss. That prompt publicity
will prevent any evil effect Is the belief.
Late tonight the Hearst men found a
similar circular sent to their men, marked
"Vote for Hearst and Jerome." It caused
great excitomont.
Jerome's manager, Gans, tonight claims
Jerome will poll 160,000, Shearn 75,000,
Osborne 70.000. "We may get more," he
.added, "but there is no reason to doubt
a clear majority over both his oppon
ents '
Precautions Against Fraud.
The Municipal League v announced to
night that it has applied for over 1000
warrants for floaters and repeaters, and
will have an additional 2000 John Doe
warrants for service at the polls. Hearst
has watchers at every polling place and
400 private detectives.
Attorney-General Mayer has applied for
special deputies to the Attorney-General
to cover all court and police stations.
Three leading Oregonlans are also repre
sented by staffs of lawyers at the same
places. Bondsmen will be on hand to aid
partisans arrested.
Two policemen were detailed to each of
the 1S4S polling places In the greater city.
State Superintendent of Elections Morgan
"has made similar details of deputies.
Commissioner McAdoo has Issued orders
to policemen not to be partisan and
promises punishment to any man who
works for any candidate.
A great crowd at the Hoffman House
was so noisy that thn management put
everybody out before 1L o'clock. This Is
the first time It ever happened and shows
remarkable Interest In a remarkable
campaign. A significant fact was that In
the crowd looking for Hearst ix?bney not
one Tammany district leader or big poli
tician was noticed. Heretofore they have
been conspicuous.
Final Claims of Candidates.
Ivins issued a final statement tonight,
claiming victory. He renews the predic-
tlon that he will hold the Republican vote
and that the Democrats will split even.
Speaking of the Mayor, he says:
McClellan has a pain in his destiny."
Hearst, In a flnal otatemeht, estimates
his vote at 800,000, and says:
"Tammany plots to vote floaters are
foiled. I'll put some others behind the
bars before Tm through, as I did Alder
man Brennan, in Chicago. I estimate
my vote at only 300,000 to be cxnserya-1
tive.'"
McClellan remained at home tonight.
He declined to figure on the result, except
to say. "I believe I'll be elected."
One Hearst man who has volunteered to
be a watcher at tho polls tomorrow is in
no fear of violence at the hands of the
Tammany workers. His name is Robert
Fltzsfmmonp. and at one time he was the
world's champion pugilist. "Florrle"
Sullivan, leader of tho Eighth Assembly
district, boaated that Hearst men would
have rough sledding thorc The . chal
lenge was replied to by the detail of Fltx
slmmons, who is delighted with the job.
Lanky Bob la one of the ardent Hearst
men, and has mado a nunjber of speeches
for municipal ownership.
"Tammany ain't going to make . trou
ble," remarked Bob at the "Hearst head
quarters tonight. "But if they iry "it,
why, I can get gay myself and will."
- Among the Hearst watchers are a score
of prlzc-fightere. Some are got ting pa!d,
but Fitzslmmons doesn't get a cent.
COLONIZATION ON GREAT SCALE
Elaborate Precautions to Foil Unpre
cedented Attempts at Fraud.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6. (By Associated
Press.) An almost unprecedented degree
"of uncertainty regarding the rosult of the
final conflict at the polls tomorrow marks
the close of what ha8 been In many re
spects the most interesting political cam
paign ever waged in the Clty; of Ngiw
York. "Whether McClellan, Hearst or
Ivins will be chosen to rule the destinies-
of tho metropolis for the next four'ycar
presents a problem which, in the face of
conditions absolutely unique, .battles the
skill- of even tho most experienced fore
casters of election results.
Of betting on tho result there has bocnl
considerably less than in former years.
due, apparently, to the general fcollng of.
uncertainty and to the indications that
the result may be. very close In Wall
street this aftornoon the odda epded 2H

inent broker offered .to wagor $100,000 to

$25,000 to 110,000 on the .Mayor. Bots on
Ivins ruled about 1 to G, and on Hearst 1
to Odds on the election of Jerome
were about the same as on McClellan,
and mans' large sums were wagered by
supporters of the District Attorney.
Rumors of colonization on a largo scale
and of Illegal registration have so far J
