NEW YORK.—Ray Tucker, political writer on the New York
Telegram, and Leo R. Sack, Washington correspondent for tho
Cleveland Pr.’ee, both supporting Herbert Hoover, as port of the
Serippe-Hownrd chain of newspapers, predict Governor Smith’s
election next Tuesday. Tucker gives'Smith 269 electoral votes,
apd Hoover 282. Sack given Hoover 189, and Smith 285. Sack
etatee 67 votes are still doubtful. However, If all the 57 went
to Hoover that wouldn't change the result. A total of 2GG elcc-
toral votes are necessary for sLction, and Smith would be elected
,by the predictions of both these Hoover paper writers. Wall
