CelSrIos by Chairman Haana and J. at tha Close of the Campaign. Chicago special t) the Balti e Sun of today says : Taking the States as reported to hiny, Mr. Hanna claims 311 certain votes for McKinley and concedes only 78 to Bryan. Heallows Bryan only seven Southern States, Colo rado and the other four little mining States He calls Missouri and Tex as "doubtful. . Kansas is the only State in the central westa which he does not positively claim, and this he holds to be probably safe. ; Chairman Jones, in his summary, is not quite so ambitious as Mr. Hanna. He figures up 255 electoral votes for Bryan and regards his chances as better than McKinley s fOr 75 of the remaining votes. , It is scarcely to be questioned that each of these gentlemen is counting in advance votes which will not come and which he does not reasonably expect. Mr. Jones will admit that Delaware onlvofaRthe solid South is doubtful, while Mr. Hanna generously 'hands over to McKinley Delaware, Maryland. North Carolina, Kentucky, Tennes see and West Virginia, and assumes Yirglnia as probably for McKinley. The following Western and Pacific Coast States are claimed as certain by both JonesandHannajCalifornia, Oregon, Michigan, Indiana, Nebras ka, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. Mr. Jones puts, in his doubtful column Illinois, Ohio, Iowa and Wis consin, everyone of which is claimed for McKinley by majorities ranging from fifty to one hundred and fifty thousand. In these extraordinary widely diverging estimates it is evident that some one is blundering. Who is it, Jones or Hanna? Chairman Hanna hns issued the following statement, ' giving a fore oast of the vote: I am confident that the strength of McKinley and Hobart in the elec toral college, as a result of nexti Tuesday's election, will not be less than 311 votes. This estimate is made up on figures just received from chairmen of state committees, the result of final polls taken in such a careful manner as to give them the highest credence. These polls indi cate that the votes by states will be as follows: McKinley California, Connecti cut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minneso ta, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Nebraska, North Caro lina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
