Presidential calculation figures in a close vote estimate
A New York Evening Post writer estimates party strength and electoral college outcomes under various contingencies. He cites Democrats sweeping unorganized states and Connecticut to give 220 to 0, then 187 to 132 if New York shifts to Democrats, and 161 to 158 if New York and Pennsylvania go to Democrats. If Connecticut remains with Democrats while Republicans lose New York and Pennsylvania, a 15 vote Republican edge persists. The piece notes the contest could be interesting if unorganized states regain voting power.
