Otto T. mard, candidate of the republi- can and fusion forces, closed his cam- paign with a noonday address on the waterfront nad a brief talk ‘to negro voters at a_downtown Baptist church in the evening. ‘ The Last Hearst Red Fire. Hearst, the independent candidate, had wound, up his formal speechmak- ing last night at Madison Square Gare den, but some of the lesser lights of his independent campaign burned red fire and espoused his cause with a final burst of oratory at open air meet- ings in the four corners of Manhattan tonight, while many of the minor can- didates on both demoeratic and repub- lican tickets had meetings of their own in the doubtful distriets. Predictions as to Results. In each of the rival camps complete, eonfidence in the result was expressed. Charles F. Murphy, the Tammany leader, sai “We are well satisfled With the result of the democratic campaign. Gaynor will receive more votes than both of the other candidates for mayor and he will carry the whole democratic ticket with him in every borough.” Herbert Parsons, the republican leader, said: “Our fight against Tammany misrule has won. Reports from every assem- bly district in the greater city show that Bannard will be elected by 50,000 plurality. The entire fusion ticket will #0_through with a landslide vote.” Charles H. Gehring of the Hearst forces said: . ‘“Hearst will get more than 300,000 votes, winning by over 100,000 plurality over the Tammany candidate. I look for a landslide to Hearst. 600,000 Votes Will Be Cast. All three sides were agreed tonight that about 600,000 votes would be cast tomorrow out of the total registration of 644,500 Of this number about 20,000 will be scattering votes for candidates of sociallst, prohibition and _other minor tickets, lea: about 550,000 o be divided among the three leading candidates.

Bannard’s Closing Appeal. in his closing appeal to m veters at his noon ‘meeting today, d: “T have fought this campaign against Tammany Hall, against corruption, waste, graft and improper contracts. Public improvements must be solely for the #00d and_ not for plunder. Petty graft must be stamped out. I have favored as liberal personal liberty as s consistent with law and order. “T belisve that I can serve you well, | and that tomorrow you will choose a business man, a man who will attend to the duties of the office to which he is elected.” ? “Hearst Will Be the Next Mayor.” The final word by the Hearst cam- igners was a brief statement from t's headquarters expressing con- fidence in the result and promising a clean and independent government of the city for four years to come. “The victory is certain,” this final document said. “The vote for Hearst: will be enormous, it will mean the end of Tammany and a new era of govern- ment in this city. Mr, Hearst will be the next mayor.” Roundups of Alleged Repeaters. There were big roundups of alleged repeaters today as a result of the in- vestigations of the registration rolls Dby the state superintendenf of elec- tions and his men. One man, con- victed of Illegal regispfation, was sen- tenced to three years in Sing Sing. while two others received indetermi- nate sentences of from six months to four years. A special grand jury:in the borough of Queens (Long Island) returned fifty indictments tonight against men alleged to have registered illegally. Courts Expect Big Election Day Busi- ness. The courts are prepared to handle a great volume of election day business tomorrow. Four justices of the su- preme court were ‘fassigned to sit in special term at the New York county house. Eight other justices announced that they would hear election cases in other parts of thé city. 2,000 Students Among Poll Watchers. Among the watchers at the polls will be nearly 2,000 studemts, volunteers, 800 of them recruited from Columbia, 300 from Yale and 250 from Prince- ton. It was feared that the presence of these watchers would be prohibited by a ruling of the corporation coun- sel that only legally qualified voters could act as watchers under the state law, but this opinion was overruled today by a signed declaration from the state attorney general declaring that “any person, voter or not, male or fe- male, minor or otherwise, resident or | non-resident,” watcher, A Bitter Underlying Struggle in the Campaign. This brief, but spirited campaign has been conducted-largely upon the old fssue of opposition to Tammany hall, but aside from the mayoralty there has been a bitter underlying struggle for thé control of the “board of estimate and momonment," a bods.

Hearst and Bannard have conducted their sampaigns largely along similar lines, both making pleas for the de- feat of Tammany, since each heads the republican-fusion ticket. Hearst entered the campaign at the last mo- ment as a passive candidate to assist the ticket below him, but as the cam- paign progressed, he began attacking Bannard as well as Gaynor, with the apparent hope of election. Bannard has avolded personalities and adhered to a discussion of the business issues. Gaynor Had No Campaign Manager. Gaynor has made the campalgn without a manager and without offi- cial headquarters. While endorsed by Tammany hall, he has declared that he will be dictated to by no boss and has made personal liberty and the abolition of police czarism his chief toples. might )sllly act as a PEARY ENDORSED AS A NORTH POLE DISCOVERER By the National Geographic Society— Publie Mlhmfl!t Tomorrow.

The board has received excellent returns from the non-residents, al- though many of the lists had to be sent back to have them sworn to or to have them signed. There will be the usual number of lists ten per cented, one of the largest taxpayers "allowing this addition to be made each year rather than appear before the board. There will be a number of ad- ditions as well as losses this yea® so there is reason to believe that the grand list will not drop below the fig- ure of last year. The board now has a strenuous time before them and will get out to review some of the property in the town. CIVIL SUPERIOR COURT COMES IN THIS MORNING. First Suit is That of Raymond, Tr, vs. F. E.

PRESIDENT Paris Physician Turns to System in Use 150 Years Ago. ,London, Nov. 1L.—A new cure for a cbld_in the head has been announced by P. L. Romme, a well known Paris physician.

He has modernized it by forbidding soup which is more liquid than solid, and even the small quantity of tea or milk of Dr. Williams’ ‘system. But he al- lows a small glass of winé and water during the day.
