NEW YORK At midnleht last niM six hours before the opening of the polls both sides in the muntcinal claiming the victory. The most strenuous tain came from the fusion leaders, who were more In evidence at their headquarters than were the Democrats at theirs, the latter after the distribution of campaign funds in the afternoon having hurried to their several election precincts to give their last orders to their followers. John A. Mason, of the Shepard headquarters, said he felt confident of the result, and placed the Democratic candidate's majority at 40,000. During the late afternoon Seth Low, the fusion candidate, at his own headquarters, said: "I think things could not look mora rosy," and added, "this has been a most Interesting campaign.

The fight is now over, and no matter who is elected, I am sure the city will profit by the agitation of the questions which have been tbe main issues of the campaign." Robert C. Morris, chairman of the Republican campaign committee, stuck to his estimate of 70,000 for Mr. Low. Edward M. Shepard said last evening that te had no particular statement to make, and nothing to say of the campaign beyond what he had already said, and uo issues to discuss any further than he has already discussed them.

"If the betting on the result Is any indication as to what the count of ballots will show, the fusion candidates seem to have the better of it by a shade. Late last night wagers were laid at 10 to 1 on Low and the rest of the city ticket. There Is not the same confidence on tho fusion side as to the county ticket, and predictions are made that all the candidates on the Democratic county ticket in New York county will be elected, with the possible exception of Robert A. Van Wyck, for Justice of the supreme court, who has had to bear the brunt of the attack, and Henry W. Unger, for district attorney.

Possibly on account of the whirlwind campaign he has Travcrs Jerome, fusion candidate for this office, was betting the benefit of predictions that he would run ahead of his ticket, but the betting odds favored Mr. Unger. Richard Croker and John Carroll late last night, wero positive of the el tion of the entire. tlckeU-M. Carroll also claimed that Kings county would go Democratic, while Woodruff and Otto Kemprier talked ot 000 and 25,000, respectively, for the fusioa-candidates In that county.

These estir -mates on the Brooklyn vote were the ona discouraging feature in the fusion camp. --The biggest estimateamade fcy the fuslon-ist3 are based on a 25,000 majority for the fusion ticket in Brooklyn. None ot the fusion leaders agree on the majority that tho city ticket wllhhave In Manhattan and the Bronx. At tho Democratic club last night Brooklyn was claimed for Shepard and the Democratic ticket by 3,000 majority; Queens county was claimed by 1,500 majority; Richmond by 1,000. making the total majority claimed by the Democrats at the Democratic club of 49,733.

Notwithstanding the claims of the Democratic and those of the fusionists, tho election will likely be a very close one. Both fides are counting on the independent voters. Superintendent of Election McCullogh addressed another letter yesterday to Police Commissioner Murphy, in which he furnished a long list ot election precincts in which he claimed frauds would be attempted. Mr. McCullogh told Col.

Murphy that when the state deputies mada arrests today the persons arrested would be turned over to the policemen at tho polls, and Col. Murphy was requested In the letter to issue orders to the police to at once take such prisoners to the nearest magistrate. There was a feeling of fear that before election day was over there would be frequent clashes betweea tho state deputies and the police. IOWA By Wire, November 5. DES MOINES Hon.

A. B. Cummins. Republican candidato for governor, closed his campaign at a large meeting In the Auditorium in this city last evening. John Krlar, in charge of the literary bureau cf tho Republican state committee, said that he heavy snow throughout Iowa would Increase the Republican vote 10,000 by driving the farmers from the corn fields and giving thttu a chance to cast their ballots.

The Republican vote for McKInloy last ye- was 307,818. The stata central crmmittee estimates that there will be a falling off of about 15 per cent frcm last year's vote, or a decrease of nearly 25,000. If these figures are realized Mr. Cummins' vote will be In the neighborhood of 260,000, or 21.000 more than the total vote received by hi slie M. Shaw two yean ago.

WASHINGTON" Election news from Maryland and Virginia last night abowi tbat Democrats in both states are still using the Booker Washington dinner incident at the White House to the best of their ability to rouse up Southern prejudice and increase tbe party vote. No show of interest in the election or campaign has been evinced until thelast 10 days or two weeks. Says an observer of tbe struggle in Virginia: "The Roosevelt dinner Is giving the Democrats something to talk about other than the constitutional convention. Since that time tbe changes have been running by the stumpers on tbe subject ct negro rule and social equality. Leaders and supporters of Mr.

Montague say that the size of his majority will be due to the interest created on the stump in the discussion of the ciuc-nuu ui uciu ruie, i u-n wing 'he dinner given to Booker Washington. iihuu ui ih tate is in doubt, with some expecta- V. cict tion of a Democratic legislature. glnia Is expected to go Democratic.

COLBCRN. Appeal for Extradition Treaty isy ire, rvovtmoer a. WASHINGTON A murder Is the basis' of an appeal which may bts made to the congress, at the coming session, for an extradition treaty with Greece. The appeal will come from the Knights 1 ot Pythian of the country, or at least a certain portion of them, because it wag a brother of this fraternity who was slain. The knights will receive more or less aid from labor organizations, for the victim was also a union workman when the hand of an assassin struck htm down.

Chicago was the scene of tbe crime, and If a certain woman had not left her para- sol and gloves in a certain store on a i certain evening, public attention in general, and that of congress In particular, would not be called, at ths coming session, to the need of an extradition treaty with Greece. As it is, a Chicago congressman will probably take charge of tbe case at Washington, and it would not be a surprise to the Chicago delegation if -he proved to be the gallant John J. Feeley, who at the age of 27 defeated the Republican boss of Cook county, William Lori-mer, and will make his debut before Speaker Henderson next December. About 7 o'clock In tbe evening of July 1.

CHICAGO Dan M. Hogan, known far and wide, as a bookmaker and sporting man, has been shot and killed by his son, Dnn M. Hogan, in the family's home at Wilmington, 111. The immediate cause assigned for the shooting was tho abuse and brataHty of the head of the household In striking his wife until shot down by his son. The bullet struck Hogan under tho right arm and passed through the body.

Hogan, was held by the authorities pending an Inquest by the coroner. The Jury returned a verdict of "Justifiable homicide." Hogan was years of age, and left property valued at upward -'of $60,000. Ho had met recently with reverses by gambling apon races. Frequent nnd unsuccessful attempts to mortgage his Wilmington property that he might procure a new "bank roll" for race track speculation resulted in frequent family quarrels.

CHICAGO On the authority of a financier who is close to the Hill-Morgan- Hurriman Interests, there was given out here yesterday an outline of the terms of settlement ot tho Northern Pacific controversy, which Is expected to be officially announced the latter part of this week.

Tbe agreement is in the nature a compromise which, it is said, is eatisfae. tory to all the parties concerned. Ha I main feature is tho formation of a se-I curity company, of which James J. Hill I will be the president. The directory will ih'-iude thfi, Haxriman and Kuhn, Loeb co.

party, and tho organization will em brace all the stock and bonds of tho Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Burlington railways. The Union Pacific will have a' one- third interest in the combination, coming Decause or its holdings of common stock of' Northern Pacific. All the companies will have allotted to them a certain territory in which to control traffic, so that there will be no conflict on that score. No change will be made the amount or denomination values, except in the single Instance of preferred Issue of Northern Pacific stock, which will be retired by a 4'4 per cent bond on a basis between 113 and 120. This allotment of territory Is regarded a skillful move on the part of the railwaymagnates and one likely to cause surprise and consternation iu Western trafiic circles, eventually perhaps leading to some radical changes In local general offices.

During nearly all of tie 70 minutes nf play the ball was well within Hatkell's territory and only once, and only during the closing minutes of the first half, was the Minnesota goal In danger.

Capt. Arehiqtu'tte, of the Haskell team, claims that had the timekeepers notified him that but five minutes of play remained in the first half he would have ordered an attempt at a goal from field, his team then being directly In front of the goal posts, and on the 20-yard line. Not-knowing how much time he had to play, and feeling that hi t'am was gaining steadily by plunges through the line, he kept at tho same game, and failed to make the touchdown before time was called. An Interesting; Game. Although snow covered the campus to the depth of an Inch, and red lines Instead of white marked the distance, and although the cold winter wind chilled the spectators to the bone, the game was among the mcst Interesting of the season.

In the first place the red men came on in blankets of gorgeous cardinal, while tbe giunts of the North came forth clad in royal purple. And then the Indians wore black and stockings and mostly forbore the use of hose guards. shin guards or helmets, while the XJopher team was armed cap-a-ple with all the r.ccoutreuients of modern combit. Also the Indians were of about 170 pounds in average weight, while the Mln- nesota men weighed few besides Dr. 1 Williams know what.
