Leads all North Carolina Afternoon Papers in Circulation THE LAST DAY PDS NEW YORK THRILLING WITH DEEP SUSPENSE Final Word of the Campaign May Not be Spoken Before Midnight WHAT STORY WILL BE TOLD ON THE MORROW? Party Lines in Many Sections Al most Obliterated; Political Affilia tions of a Life Time Thrown Aside; Thousands Will Follow Their Chosen Leader Bather Than Keep in the Columns of the Parly. Henrst and Hughes Are Fighting Hard on the Last Day Before the Casting of the Ballots in an Klet tlon Whose Pit (mate Results Will Mean so Much Not Only to the Empire stale But Also to the Whole Country. (By the Associated Press.) New York, Nov. 6. Today will wit ness the closing: scenes in one of the most remarkable political campaigns t the history of the Empire State. By midnight the last public word will hnv been spoken and nothing will reuinl but the story to be told by the ballots themselves. Who the hero of the tale will be can not be forecasted with any certainty Did time methods of anticipating the results of an election have b -n ren derail almost useless. Party Unea many sections of the state ha been almost, if not quite, obliterated; polltl cal affiliations of a life time have been thrown aside and thousands of voters tomorrow will follow their chosen lead er rather than any party. As an Illustration of the condition which exist, the respective leaders the great parties, basing their estimates upon what they claim to have been careful, painstaking canvasses, have reached widely different conclusions as to what the result will be. The mana gers of the republican and democratic and independence league campaigns euch has announced himself as con vinced that his candidate will have a pluiallty of at least 200,000 votes. In some other years the Monday Im mediately preceding election has been largely a day of rest or has been dc voted to the quiet work of arranging the last details In preparation for the real struggle which is to come. Not so today, however. As from the very first the two leading candidates have a strenuous schedule before them. Chas 13, Hughes, the republican candidate for governor, will address seven meet ings this afternoon and evening in var ions sections of New York. William R. Hearst, the democratic and inde pendence league, will address throe and possibly four meetings tonight. Several bets at 5 to 1 that Hughes will bo elected governor were made about the curb stock market in Broad street today. The odds then dropped to four and a half to one Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, said today: "Alter opening the envelopes turned in by the district leaders on Saturday I am eontldent that Mr. Hearst will carry New York City by as big a plurality as that given to Bird S. Coler In 1902." Coler's plurality for governor in .1902 was 122,724. Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman of the republican state committee, said today that he regards the elec lion of Charles E. Hughes as prac tically certain. "Mr. Hughes will get 150,000 or more above the Bronx," said Mr. Woodruff. '"Mr. Hearst, cannot get more than iltfy thousand plurality in the Oreater city, according to the. computation of bis own managers, and in my opinion the Greater city will come close to giving Mr. Hughes a plurality, if it does not give that. Mr. Hughes will carry Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond, and Suffolk and Nassau counties ought to give a plurality big enough to give Long Island to Mr. Hughes by nearly 75, 000. 1 would not be at all surprised if Mr. Hughes got 250,000 above the Bronx. A letter signed by W. R. Hearst call ing on the watchers of the polls throughout the state to wateff the vot ing and make the victory certain was issued by Max Ihmsen, manager of tho Independence league campaign today. It has been sent to watchers of Mr. Hearst's Interest throughout the State. THE WBATHER IN WHICH YOU VOTE. (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Nov. 5.

Both parties have directed their final energies to the states where the light is clos est. With a hostile political body in the lower branch of congress the president may be frequently ham pered in the prosecution of his poli cies, and for this reason he desires the election of a safe republican ma jority. Although denied the right of suf frage local Washington because of the presence of the national govern ment takes the greatest interest in the outcome.

It is the opinion of the best informed politicians that the election will be closer than it has been for several years and that the democrats may secure a majority in the legislature even it tney lose men cuusit-so .mu state tickets.
