0DD§ ON HUGHES ARE SIGNS OF WIN Demdcrats in New York Run to Cover and Practically Admit Defeat. BETTING New York, Nov. 4.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Rank and file democrats are conceding the election of Governor Hughes and the defeat of President Wilson. The president’s campaign managers are still keeping up their shouts of optimism, to be sure, and making as big claims as ever, or per haps larger, but their follower that it is only rainbow chasing, and WHAT SHOWS know decline to join further in that kind ol‘; amusement. Hughes' is elected, and the demo- crats know it. The size of his ma- jority in the electoral college, or of his; plurality in_the popular vote, is| Those things are mat- not material. ters of interest. for the marning of November 8, but the principal fact is well determined today and it will be next Tuesday. What They Do. It is what men do, and not so much hat they say that reveals exactly what they think. The democrats who have been backing their opinions with their money have revealed by their acts just what they think of the democratic campaign and of the president’s chances for re-election. The very best they hope for is six chances out of sixteen. The prospect of Mr. Wilson's election, rated in terms of the betting fraternity who make it their business to know the facts of any political situ- ation on which they are staking their money, is only a fraction more than half as good as that of Mr. Hughes. Rating Hughes as one, they put Wil- soit at six-tenths, and all Wilson sup- porters will put up with a Hughes man is six dollars to win ten. Every Wilson man who is willing to risk any money at all on the result is today demanding such odds, and in demand- ing those odds he ‘is conceding that Mr. Hughes is almost twice as good as his own candidate. This is extremely significant at this junctuce, owing to the claims made by the democratic managers a little earlier in the campaign. It is only within the last few weeks that any betting has been done. For a long time the offer of Hughes money in the usual betting places brought no response in the way of democratic cash.. The democrats were wary and nly by offering odds of two to one could republican betters. get any wagers. Then, ‘when the democrats began their campaign drive, they stimulated their friends to come into the betting market and make some wagers for the effect of such action on public senti- ment. They brought out all the Wil- son money they could, and as a result the odds changed. From two to one the odds shiftea gradually, with more and more Wilson money coming out, until for two days last week it was possible to get even money wagers in small amounts. That was the height of the democratic eampaign, and they made thermost.of.it in-the way -of shotits and- claims. s ‘That was the exact point at which the “republican’ dtive” began, ' right where . the democratic drive -had reached its crest, and every day since then has seen the republican wave roll higher and higher, while the demo- cratic wave has been sinki and.as that happened the democratc betters have been keeping steps with their demands for increased and" in creasing odds. Back down the road they have fled, from even money to ten to nife, then ten to eight and a half, then ten to eight, then ten to seven and now ten to six. Tomorrow, if you want to bet any money on Hughes, you probably will have to give two to one, just as you had to do at the beginning of the campaign. Even at ten to six, the announced odds of teday, it is-almost impossible to money down. Democrats who anding such odds as that are not willing to bet when they get them. The democratic managers will issue claims for 325 electoral votes, but if you ask them what money they have to back such claims, they will either run to cover altogether or demand odds of at least ten to six It i3 a confession of defeat, not in words, but in actions, which speak louder than words. And that has been the main trouble with the Wilson ad- ministration, its words have contra- dicted its deeds. That is the chief reason why today’s betting odds are ten to six on Hughes.
