SINGAPORE, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Asian shares were mixed in early Asian trading on Tuesday after oil prices surged to a one-year high and optimism over Hillary Clinton's widening lead in the U.S. presidential election campaign pushed Wall Street higher.

U.S. crude futures jumped 3.1 percent to $51.26 on Monday, a four-month high. They were trading 0.1 percent lower at $51.28 at 0022 GMT.
The gains came after Russia said it was ready to join the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in limiting crude output and Algeria called for similar commitments from other non-OPEC producers.

Samsung told customers on Tuesday to stop using their Note7 smartphones while it investigated reports of fires in the devices.

The dollar retained overnight gains on growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates this year.

Paul Ryan, the top Republican in the U.S. Congress, all but conceded on Monday that Clinton was likely to win the White House on Nov. 8, and said he would put his full energy into preserving Republican majorities in Congress so as not to give her a "blank check."
Ryan, speaker of the House of Representatives, said he would not defend Trump or campaign for him after the uproar over the New York businessman's sexually aggressive comments that surfaced on Friday.
"This is a strong signal that many of the Republican establishment believe Trump's campaign is so toxic that they are seeking to dissociate themselves from it," IG's Nicholson said.
Clinton has led Trump in most national opinion polls for months and Trump's poll numbers have fallen further since Friday when a video from 2005 showing the former reality TV star bragging crudely about groping women and making unwanted sexual advances was broadcast.
