Hofmann of the court of special sessions, Re- publican candidate for justice of the supreme court from the sec- ond district, will be an expen- sive Juxury. The justice's name, originally spelled \Hoffman\ on ballots and name strips for voting ma- chines, was ardered corrected by the supreme court at Queens. In Nassau, sample ballots with the incorrect name will not be changed, but the revision of machine. strips will cost about $150, it 'has been estimated. Suffolk, with its preponderance of ballots, will spend $2,000 and New York city will have to pay $500 for the change: nina COL SiP SBE Fels or FLood Three-Day Downpour Ends Drops in Vania PVS TOL C %. ead PITTSBURGH, Oct. 20-OP-A cold wave swept the western slopes of the Allegheny mountains today, halting a three-day down- steel city from southwestern Penn- sylvania: and northern West Vir- ginia.

Super- visor J. Russel Sprague will lead his ticket to victory, and Rayford W. Alley will lead the Democratic slate. There's a lot of difference in the guesses of the votes, but the general attitude is the same. You know, we're giving three $25 prizes for the ones who pre- dict the election results the clos- est. 'There are three questions to answer, and only three. Here they are: Which party will win the elec- tion and what will be its plurality? Which candidate will lead the Re- publican party, and what will be his vote? Which candidate will lead the Democratic party and what will be his vote? The Figures Count That's all -e want to know. Just answer those three questions, give the plurality for the party and the vote for the individual. Do not comment on the prediction. 'The mac‘s” as; what we want and they story. . Come the clos- est'in your guesses to the exact vote results and you win one or all three of the prizes. Although most of the entrants are picking Supervisor Sprague and Mr, Alley to lead their re- spective tickets in the matter -of votes, there are a few mmuwnfim votes.. County Judge Cortland A. Johnson, Republican candidate for resélection, has been chosen sev- eral times, as has Elvin N. Ed- wards, supreme cout justice. Only the Nassau vote for Edwards will count, Rene Carreau, Democratic can- didate for sheriff, has been chosen by several guessers to lead his ticket. What is your guess? What are your three guesses?
