DANNEMORA, N.Y. — The State Police and other law enforcement agencies were continuing on Sunday to hunt for two fugitive murderers in the wilderness and rural communities of northern New York, a day after the two men escaped from the maximum-security state prison here.

In a news conference on Sunday afternoon, officials said investigators were sifting through more than 150 leads. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced that the state was offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the inmates, or $50,000 for tips leading to each one.

“This is a crisis situation for the state,” the governor said. “These are dangerous men. They are capable of committing grave crimes once again.”

Duping guards with dummies fashioned out of sweatshirts and using power tools to drill out of their cells at the Clinton Correctional Facility, the men made their getaway late Friday or early Saturday, emerging on the other side of the prison’s 30-foot-tall walls, officials said.
