All three candidates will invade enemy territory. GOP-Conservative John Marchi, elated over surprisingly warm greetings in Jewish, Negro and Puerto Rican communities, will try to make new inroads in these Democratic areas.

The charged that Lindsay wi'l spend $3 million in the mayoral campaign "to defeat me." State Democratic Chairman John J. Burns earlier said that the GOP-Conservative candidate, John J. Marchi, is "certain" to lose in the three-way mayoral race. "A vote for Marchi is wasted and Marchi supporters should save their votes and cast their ballots for Mr. Procaccino."

"No wonder more Democrats are supporting Mayor Lindsay," said Aurelio.

Lindsay, the Liberal-Independent candidate, will reveal the names of more Democrats backing him at a conference in his Fifth Ave. headquarters later today. The mayor won support from Greenwich Village Democratic Rep. Edward I. Koch yesterday.

Koch, a reform Dem, said he'll vote for Lindsay because "Procaccino doesn't have the ability to be a great mayor." Decision Expected Koch's swing to Lindsay was expected because he's a member of the New Democratic Coalition that endorsed the mayor some time ago. Marchi went to Montreal yesterday to address the New York State Association of Real Estate That's why some Lindsay people are whispering, loud enough to be overheard in a subway, that District Attorney Frank Hogan may soon bring about the indictment of a former Procaccino aide. And What the Others Are Saying Procaccino researchers bellow that the Lindsay administration favors certain real estate firms, builders and manufacturers, and that the mayor's City Hall aides campaign on city time. Some of Marchi's followers are suggesting that lawyers in the Lindsay and Procaccino campaigns hrve unsavory connections with the Mafia. Look out, folks, the mud may start f'ying at any moment.

The Proc's aides say the controller is now far ahead hut a-t undecided group of voters may make it neck-and-neck next month, with Marchi out of the running. The Marchi folks say their man is running a close race with Procaccino and that Lindsay is trailing. Lester R.

Bradshaw, a Westchester resident in the insurance business in Manhattan, reports his ovn poll of insurance executives. Many Undecided. Even More Don't Answer The poll shows that of 2,481 execs who answered, 911 want Marchi for mayor, 867 favor Procaccino, and 111 would vote for Lindsay. There were 600 undecided ballots. Bradshaw says he sent out 10,000 questionnaires.

So If the nonvoting insurance execs are typical, then it appears that most people don't really care at this point of the campaign. There was a Democratic marriage of sorts in a restaurant near City Hall the other night. Representatives of former UN Ambassador Arthur Goldberg and Alan K.
