What makes New York so Import ant la not Its electoral votes, but the fact that no expert ha been able to work out a. practical winning com bination for Landon without those 47 votes. Roosevelt can win without New York, but Landon cannot. Announcements regarding the na tional outcome, therefore, are likely to be made on the basis of the early Empire state returns. Once. In a very similar situation, th nro New York key to an elec tion situation did not work.

Thus, they ellmlntae some of the Digest error In polling more 1933 Republi cans than Democrats. Oa this basis, they calculate tho probable Illinois result as: Landon, 1,651,139; Roosevelt, 1,695,074, or a (Continued on Page Pour.) Fletcher Named Head Of League J.
