STATEMENT PREPARED BY SENATOR QUAY Chairman of Republican Stato Com mittee Gives Estimate of the Vote by Counties on Governor nt the Election Today Gains for Penny packer Over Barnett's Vote in 1899 As to Congressmen, the He publicans Will Hold Their Own in All Districts, and Will Probably Gain in Some But One District Conceded to the Democracy. V Inclusive Wire from The Associated Pre.s. Philadelphia, Nov. 3. Senator Quay, mairmnn of the Republican state eom nittee, has prepared a statement Riving his estimates of the vote by counties on governor at tomorrow's election. The statement was Riven to the press to night at Republican state headquarters here by Mr. W. F. "Wright, the sen ator's private secretary. Mr. Wright siiid the figures are conservative and were obtained from reports of county chairmen. In a number of Instances, he said, the estimates of the county chairmen were reduced considerably by the senator. The statement is as follows: In thirty-seven counties, outside of Allegheny and Philadelphia, the esti mates received from the respective county chairmen show a net gain of 21, 938 votes for Pennypacker over the total vote cast therein for Burnett for state treasurer In 189ft. In tho remaining twenty-eight coun ties, outside of Allegheny and Phila delphia, the estimates show a net loss of 12,834 votes compared with the num ber received by Burnett, making a total net gain for Pennypacker, outside of thu counties of Allegneny and Pilln-. delphla, ot 9,101 votes. ' " Barnett's majority In the state was 110,488, of which Philadelphia contribut ed 69.6G4 and Allegheny lti,4!i;s. The other sixty-live counties gave Harnett a, majority of 21,331. Add to this the total net gain just mentioned, 9,104, as estimated for Judge Pennypacker and our ticket will come to the counties of Philadelphia and Allegheny with a ma jority of 33,433. These are of conserva tive estimates and the total Republi can majority outside of the counties named niny largely exceed the figures given. Add to this estimate that of 2.",0i10 majority reported from Allegheny and 10.1.000 in Philadelphia and you will see that the total majority in the state for Judge Pennypacker is likely to be n the neighborhood of 1G.i,0QQ votes. As to the congressmen, we will hold jur own and are likely to gain several districts. Hut one district, that the .lerlts-Lehish Is conceded to llie Dem icracy. Estimate Made by Counties.

By Exclusive Wire from The Assoclited rresi. New York, Nov. 3. Republican hopes ran high on this the last day before the election. To begin with a multi tude of final reports from the up-stato territory not only sustained tho claim of the lenders for an Odoll majority of 112,000 above the Harlem river, but far overshot the mark that conserva tive Colonel Dunn has set for the ter ritory which he knows so well. Below, the Harlem river, it was promised to day, a surprising strength for the local Republicans will be shown. Without exception the leaders In New York county, Kings, Queens and Richmond predicted on tho final district reports an almost unprecedented Republican showing In this city and its vicinity. From private estimates which the Republican county leaders based today on a series of careful canvass figures it seems certain that New York county will not give Coler the 72,000 majority that "Sport" Murphy has predicted by 20,000 or more. While Robert C. Morris, president of the New York Republican county committee, did not feel at liberty to make public his private estimate, it can be said that the results which he reached by a confidential poll of all the assembly districts In Manhattan and the Bronx cuts down the boasted Tammany majority for Coler by more than 30,000. A similar estimate last year fell short of the final result by less than 200 votes. It Is sufficient, without mentioning the canvass figures of the local Re publican managers, to say that below the Harlem river the Republicans hope to hold the Coler lead to less than 70.- 000 at the ouside figures. Brooklyn, they have excellent reason to believe, will not give Coler much over 10,000 and they base upon most encouraging reports from Queens and Richmond an outside estimate of 3,500 Coler major ity. The district leaded, brimming over with confidence, flocked to make final report to the headquarters of the New York Republican county committee to day. Every one of them had to report a silent widespread. Tammany defec tion In his district. After hearing them all and making a final survey of his figures, Mr. Morris said: "The Democratic estimate of this city giving 112,000 plurality for Color is ab surdvery absurd, f am more than confident that we shall do our part to ward electing Odell by a good round majority." )u every quarter of the local Republi can headquarters today the claims of "Sport" Murphy were laughed to scorn. Senator Piatt, Colonel Dunn and Col onel Pox, secretary of the Republican state committee, have all left state headquarters to go home to vote, with a confidence In the result tomorrow that was 111 concealed. Luther Little, who remained In charge of tho headquar ters at the Fifth Avenue hotel, chuckled as he read over the stack of final re ports from up-state leaders. "Colonel Dunn's estimate of 37.C00 stands out, and It stands pretty fast," (mid ho. "So does Governor Odcll's claim of 50,000. Not one of the late re ports disturbs either prediction, but each, In fact, tends rather to outdo them." Before Senator Plait left for Owcgo last night he confided to a friend that he would be on hand tomorrow night to cheer for the election bulletins in Re publican headquarters at the hotel. "What's tho use of talking about It: it's all over, and we win conclusively," ho Is quoted as saying. OHIO WILL GIVE 70,000. One Additional Republican Congress man May Be Gained, fly i:ilnsle Wire from The Associate J Press. Columbus, O,, Nov. 3. Before the party managers left for their homes to night to vote, no unusual developments were reported anywhere In this state. The Democratic managers still persist that there may be n surprise in tho vnto on tho stato ticket and that they will gain three congressmen, surely two. The present Ohio delegation In congress consists of seventeen Republi cans and four Democrats, Chairman Dick, before leaving for Akron this afternoon, said he expected a Republi can gain of onu by A. II, Jackson de feating Congressman James A. Norton In the Thirteenth district. Chairman Dick lins not changed his estimate of 70,000 plurality on the stato ticket.

D.v Kxclushe Wire from The Asoclatcd Press. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 3. The "oft year" campaign In Indiana closed to night. Leaders on both sides express confidence of success tomorrow. Sena tors Fairbanks and Beverldse, who have delivered speeches In nearly every county In the state, are out with state ments claiming the state will go Re publican by from 20,000 to 30,000 and that their party will have a majority In both houses of the legislature which will select a United States senator to succeed Senator Fairbanks.

By Kxclusive Wire from The Associated Press. Dos Moines, Iowa, Nov. 3. It is be lieved here tonight that a somewhat larger vote will be polled In Iowa to morrow than has been anticipated. Chairman Spence today claimed the election of the Republican state ticket by 03,000, and the election of all tho Republican congressional candidates. Chalrmnn Jackson, of the Democratic state committee, concedes the state to tho Republicans by not over 33,000, but claims the election of Wade and Crald in the Second and First districts, and the probable election of two or three other Democrats to congress. MASSACHUSETTS OUTLOOK. Republicans Confident and Demo- crats Hopeful. lly K.i'lutc Wiic fiom The Associated Tie.-s. Boston, Nov. 3. It is believed that the total vote of Massachusetts will run well above .",00,000. Republicans are exceedingly confident, and the Demo crats very hopeful. The former claim the state by 25,000. while the latter be lieve they will elect their ciindliYate for governor by 8,000 plurality. The Repub licans assert that twelve of the party candidates for congress will win, while the Democrats claim that they will elect at least six out of fourteen con gressmen. The uncertain element In tomorrow's election is the strength of tho Social istic vote. This year a phenomenal in crease is looked for and it Is generally acknowledged that that gain will be at the expense of the Democrats. REPUBLICANS CLAIM ILLINOIS.

Tho Republicans claim in tomorrow's election they will have nineteen out of twenty-five con gressmen and more than enough mem bers of the state legislature to elect the next United States, senator, who Is to succeed Senator William K. Mason. The Democrats claim that they will have a few more than a majority of the legislature on joint ballot. The Republicans claim they will carry Cook county by not loss than 15,000. Twenty-live thousand Is their high claim. The Democrats claim that their county ticket will go in by 12,000, It is admitted on both sides that there will be a very largo independent vote, and it Is difficult to tell which side will benefit.

BACH CLAIMS A COMPLETE VICTORY Chairman Taylor, However, Gives Reasons Why He Makes His Claims, While Chairman Pahey Contents Himself with. Glittering Generalities Republicans Will Re ceive Returns in the Central Re publican Club Rooms, and Demo crats at Music Hall Shabby and Cheap Eleventh Hour Campaign Tricks Worked by the Desperate Democratic Managers. The eve of election found both sides making confident predictions of suc cess. There was a difference, however, in the tone of the predictions. The Republicans gave reasons why. The Democrats contented themselves with the most general sort of claims. Statements by the Republican and Democratic chairmen arc appended. Mr. Taylor, as will be seen, makes an analysis of the situation, indicating that he knows what he is talking about. Mr. Fahey makes only a short incur sion into details. There is nothing in It to show that the Democrats are doing anything other than taking a chance. CHAIRMAN TAYLOR. "Pennypacker will carry the county by 1,000. Tho fact that the Germans will vote for him solidly will conter act any losses that may result from other circumstances. "Congressman Council will win by a margin of from 2,000 to 3,000 votes. When he ran previously, the party was always split by factional strife. This time there is not a kicker of conse quence. Possibly never before in tho history of the party was there such perfect harmony and so many enthus iastic workers. He will lose a few hun dred Republican votes, which will be given his opponent by close personal friends, but the additional Democratic vote that will come to Mr. Conhell this year by reason of the weakness of Mr. Howell In his own party will make up for these losses more than ten-fold. "Mr. Council will get the unanimous vote of the thinking independent citi zens of the county, because of the fact that it would be bad policy to de crease President Roosevelt's supporters in congress at tills time. Many Demo cratic mine workers will join with their Republican brethren in testifying their gratitude to Roosevelt for settling the strike, by casting a vote for a. man whom President Roosevelt personally requested to stand for re-election. "The Democrats have two of the tour judges. There is no reason In the world why they should have three. This, coupled with the fact that there Is no reason why Judge Vosburg should not be continued on the bench leaves the Democrats with a reasonable argu ment to advance for Mr, Sando's elec tion. Judge Vosburg's election was never in question. Ills majority Is the only thing In doubt. Abuse of si judi cial candidate once resulted In the ob ject of the abuse receiving a. surpris ingly big majority. In Judge Vosburg's case history is likely to repeat itself. "Morris and Penman have strength ened themselves wonderfully during their incumbency of the commissioners' office and they were two of the strong est men the party over put up. Durkin will be the third man. Burschcll killed himself by his campaigning methods, particularly, by his go-it-alone cir culars. "Jordan's great fight for the senate will land him a winner by an easy mar gin. He will get a pratlcally unani mous vote from the city lino to tho county line on the north. All four of tlie Republican candidates for repre sentative will be elected, and tho two Republican candidates for mine Inspec tor have a walk over. "There Is absolutely no possibility of a Republican candidate being defeat ed." CHAIRMAN FAHEY. "I claim tho election of tho entire Democratic ticket. 1 will not give any figures, but the majorities, I will say, will bo substantial. The county will certainly go Democratic There Is a general uprising against tho Republi can machine In the Republican ranks; the Democratic party is solid and en thusiastic. "Connell will not get any more than his usual Democratlo vote, while Howell will make tremendous Inroads on the Republican side. "The present Democratic committee Is the best I over had any connection with. It Is well organized, aggressive and efficient, Most of our workers nre recruited from tho younger men of the party." The Republican county coininllteo has arranged to receive returns at the Central Republican club rooms. The Democrats have engaged Muslo hull, Tho Tribune will bulletin statu and local returns by stereoptlcon In front ot The Tribune building on Washing ton avenue, Tho promise of mild weather coupled with the remarkable Interest shown In tho election despite the strike and It being an off year augurs for a, big vote. Tho chances are that the returns will bo late In coming in because of the size of the ballot. The Limit of Depravity. Tho "anti-machine" managers, after Hooding tho county yesterday wth copies of a grossly libelous tirculur, which, for scurlllty and depravity has never been matched in the record of dirty politics In this neighborhood, wound up their campaign against Wil liam Connell last night with a bewhlsk ered trick by circulating' among select ed persons the following type-written letter: Scrnnlon, Pa Nov. I, 1502. My Dear Sir: Your name has been sug gested to mo as one who can do womo quiet, hut effective, work In your district on election day for tho Hon. William Connell. I 5I111II nniko It well worth your wlille If you will meet 1110 near the en trance to Hotel Jcrmyn on next Monday evening nt S.30 o'clock. Pleaso carry 11 newspaper In your left-hand cout pocket. 1 shall he there to meet you at thut hour. Very sincerely yours, A. J. L, Representative for Hon. William Connell. This trick Is as o.ld, almost, as Raid mountain. It was 'considered a fuliiy effective one when new, because cal culated to make angry the recipient of the letter after the promised "repre sentative" had failed to materialize. But it Is needless to say that In this instance Jt did no mischief, being fraudulent on Its face. The Democrats also circulated a story outside of the city last night to the effect that the Republican county com mittee had abandoned the fight for Judge Vosburg. Tills is absolutely with out truth. . The county committee and everybody connected with the fight Is working for the wholo Republican ticket from top to bottom, and expects to carry every man on It triumphantly to victory toduy. Let no Republican bo deceived by such yarns. TRIBUNE ELECTION NEWS.

DYNAMITE FIENDS WORK AT PITTST0N The House of Samuel Domlulck Is Badly Damaged in an Effort to Kill Non-Union Men. Special to the Scranton Tribune. Plttston, Nov. 3. The house 'of Samuel Domlulck, on Pino street, this city, was badly damaged at an early hour tills morning by dynamite in an attempt to wreck vengeance on 11 non-union man who was spending the night with Mr. Domlulck, also on Mr. Domlnick and his sons. The dynamite was placed on the front porch near the door sill, and exploded with a, ter rlfllc report about 3.30 o'clock this morning.

It was soon noised about that he had been a non union man in the vicinity where be lived and had been driven from the place. It was evidently thought that this would bu a good time to kill two birds with the one stone, with non-union men for the- birds nnd dynamite as a sub stitute for the stones. As a. result the porch of the house was badly wrecked and the front windows shat tered. COAL OUTPUT WAS LARGE YESTERDAY Home Consumers Pretty Well Sup plied and Heavier Tonnage Will Go to Other Markets. By KxclutlYc Wire from The Associated Press. Wilkes-Rarre, Nov. 3. Although the various coal companies are not prepar ed to give figures, it is known that tho output of coal in the region loday was larger than any day since the collieries resumed operation eleven days ago. Tho volume of coal going to other than home markets Is also larger, l.ast week local dealers in the coal towns would not accept orders for Immediate delivery. Orders were booked three and four days ahcud. Now the home consumers of hard coal are pretty well supplied and this allows a heavier ton nage to go to other markets.

HONES OP THE MINERS ARE INSPECTED Localities Where tho Strike Is Still On Mr. Markle Joins the Party at Oakdale He Exhibits the Club House Which Is Maintained for the Benefit of the Miners A Ses- sion Held. By Kxclusive Wire from The Associated Press. Ilazleton, Pa., Nov. 3. The anthracite strike commission spent the entire day In tho Lehigh Valley region, visiting one mine and several of the mining villages. While most of the commis sioners were looking over the territory, ltecorder Wright was kept busy on the train attending to the correspondence of the commission. Among the matters ho disposed of was the sending of a copy of President Mitchell's statement of the miners' case which was filed with tho commission on Sunday night before Its departure from Scranton for tills region, to all the coal companies Involved In the present controversy. The statement was mailed from this city, and should be In the hands of the companies tomorrow. Under the agree ment made before the commission at Washington the operators will make a reply In three or four days. The trip of the commission through this region was an Interesting1 one, tho conditions of mining being somewhat different from those existing In' tho Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys. At nearly every station a small crowd was guthered to get a glimpse of the mem bers of the commission. The commis sioners were met at Pond Creek early in the forenoon by District President Duffy and National Board Member P. G. Gallagher, of the miners' union, who represented the mine workers. The operators' Interests were taken care of by General Superintendent S. D. War rl'ner, of the Lehigh Valley Coal com pany and General Superintendent W. J. Richards, of the Lehigh and -Wilkes narre Coal company, which is controlled by the Central Railroad of New Jersey. A conference was held at Pond Creek between the company and miners' representatives and for somo time they could not agree as to which mine the arbitrators should visit. The superin tendents wanted the commissioners to take a look at No. 40 shaft of the Lehigh Valley company and the repre sentatives of the miners thought that the Ilarwood colliery of C. Pardee & Co., an Individual concern was. a morft typical mine of the region.
