With only Ave days remaining In which to complete tho work of the municipal campaign the political situation In greater New York continues to afford large oppor tunities for conjecture. So far as the betting is Indicative of results Tamma ny appears to have the best of It, al though there are offers of Republican money upon terms that should prove alluring to those who have cash with which to back up their predictions that Van Wyck will be chosen the first mayor of the great municipality. The odds on Van Wyc.k against the field are quoted at betting headquarters as 3 to 1, but at the rooms of the Repub lican campaign committee It is said that those who have a desire to bet against General Tracy can be accom modated with even money to any ex tent they may desire. Whoever shall be the victor In the mayoralty contest will win by a plu rality vote only. The total vote may be 625,000. The secretary of the Cit izens' Union asserts that Low will win with 10,000, Van Wyck receiving 135, 000 and Tracy and George 100,000 each. The Republican claim Is 210,000 for Tracy, 145,000 for Van Wyck, 00,000 for George and 60,000 for Low. The George men declare their candidate will have over 200,000 votes.
