NEW YORK, Nov. I, 10 O'Clock p. m.-
From the complexion of the returns receiv-
ed from the interior of the State, it would
seem that the Republicans have elected
twenty of the thirty-two Senators, and that
they have a majority in the Assembly. Out
side of the city, the only Democratic Sena-
tors believed to be elected are Tracy, of the
18th district, Hardenburg, of the 14th, Lord.
! of the 2Sth (Rochester) district, and Far
go, of the 31st (Buffalo) district.
! ! The Democratic majority in the city is
| estimated at 10000. In the lower wards
! of the city the Democrats hold their own,
| but in the upper part their losses are con-
! siderable. Ledwith was generally aban-
| doned by Tammany and he is badly beaten.
| In one district Barrett has 400, Ledwith
none. The Democratic majority in Brook
! lyn is estimated at $4,000. Nearly the
! whole of the Democratic city and county
! ticket are chosen. In Brooklyn Powell
| Dem.) is chosen Mayor by small major
! ity over Booth (Rep.), Kalbfeisch, the
! irregular Democrat, running far behind.
! Three Republican Assemblymen and six
Democrats are probably chosen, Republi-
| can gain of two.

! One hundred and forty-two towns give
1912 Republican gain. The majority in
! the State can hardly be less than $4,000.

ator in the first district. Pierce and Muir
ply, Democrats, are reelected in Kings.
Among the Republican gains are POugh-
keepsie, 700; Workers, 634; Flushing, IT'S;
| Rome, 35; and among the Democratic gains
! are Hornellsville, l04, and Bingbamp-
ton, Al.

! Ward, 1,S40 majority for the Democratic
State ticket, 146 for Ledwith, and 129 for
Shandlev. Third Ward, 264 for Demo-
cratic State ticket, lS3 against Ledwith, and
