(Jkna mn BOTH PARTIES GUI GREAT VICTORY IN Mack and Hitchcock Issue Statement On Outcome of Battle. NEW YORK RESULT WILL BE VERY CLOSE Statements On Outcome of ous State Com mittees. By Associated Press. PORTLAND, Nov. 2. Al though the Democrats are claiming Oregon by over two thousand, there seems to he lit tle reason to the change of Re publican estimate of some time ago when it was claimed that Taft would carry the state by from 10,000 to 20,000. By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Nov. 2. With the opening of the polls less than twenty-four hours away, the lead ers of the two great parties are giv ing their attention to the last de tails oft what has been one of tho most interesting campaigns in many years. Taft will speak this after noon in Cleveland and tonight winds up the fight for the presidency at Youngstown, going thence to Cin cinnati where he will vote tomorrow morning. Bryan is touring north eastern Kansas and will vote in Lin coln tomorrow. . There is no change today in the announced estimates oX the opposing national chairmen. Mr. Hitchcock holding steadfastly to his forecast of 325 votes for Taft and Mr. Mack announcing himself as certain that Bryan will receive 333 of the 4 S3 votes In the electoral college. The Republican organization In New York state is making the final bid for votes "Below the Bronx" to day. Governor Hughes expects to deliver ten speeches in this city be fore midnight. The local Republic an leaders are working upon belief that they will hold Bryan's majority in Greater New York down to 80,000 and that Taft come to tho Bronk with a plurality from up state coun ties sufficient to overcome the Dem ocratic vote in the city and leave a margin of twenty thousand in Taft's favor. The Democrats claim Bryan will have a sufficient majority in Greater New York to more than offset even an unusually heavy Republican vote from the up state. They claim that party unity prevails in every section for the first time In a decade and are depending upon the large labor vote on Tuesday to gain their direc tion. The result on the state ticket remains in the balance and confident claims of success are put forth by both sides apparently based moro upon hope than upon definite infor mation. Political observers declare there never has been a state elec tion more difficult to forecast. So many different phases and so many varying elements enter into the state campaign this year that party lines seem bound to be broken on both sides and the usual political means of forecasting results are useless. Tho best opinion is that the state is in doubt and that only the counting of votes can determine the result. MACK STICKS TO IT. Reasserts That Republicans Have Standard Oil's Help. (By Associated Presx) NEW YORK, Nov. 2. National Chairman Mack authorized a state ment regarding the President's de nial of the relations of tho adminis tration and the Standard Oil Com pany, in which he declared he has positive proof of ton days negotia tions going on between Taft's man agers and the Standard Oil Com pany to get the support of tho Stand ard Oil Company all over the coun ter and to get a contribution of one m'M'on dollar!? which is the samp (Continued on page 2.)

I (By Associated Press.; I DUNKIRK, N. Y., Nov. 2. W. H. ' Taft in his address hero spoke strongly of tho attacks made upon j him as being unfair to labor and de-' clared that few public men have done more In the Interest of labor than he, and said if ho is elected he will follow the path of Roosevelt and con tinue to bring to the attention o' congress and by executive measures to put labor on an equality with every other class In tho community.
