New YORK, Nov. s. Roswell z.
Flower lie elected governor of New York
to succeed David B. Hill. His plurality
is estimated at 900 to $4,000. Fassett
did not carry Elmira, his own city. This
city gave Flower 81, 900 plurality; Brook
lyn, $4,000. Returns from districts out
side New York and Kings counties indi
cate that Fassett has been meeting Fol-
gers fate. In jefferson, Clinton, Essex,
Montgomery and Wyoming counties he
is far behind the vote for Miller. Flow
er's gain on decreased vote is ahead
OF Hill's. The vote in this city was very.
light. 1t was expected that out of
registration OF 261, ,532 at least 240,-
600 would be polled. About 100000
voted. Comparatively Flower ran as
well as Governor Hill, who was elected
by plurality OF 10000. Flower will
take to Harlem river 1000 plurality. 1t
is doubtful if Fassstt will bring down
$4,000 to meet 1T.
The Democrats are gaining assembly
men in the state. Sheehan is not dsing
as we'll as Flower, but his election is
assured.
At 10 O'Clock Governor Hill sent
telegram claiming the state for Flower
by 1000 plurality.
Flowers own estimate OF his majority
in the state is $4,000.
In New York city, Flower up to 8 D.
m., made poor showing; even his later
majority of $4,000 is much less than the
national Democratic majority of the
metropolis. The falling off here is at
tributed to the action of the county

vention. Kings, Richmond and Queens
counties. hover, show gains for the
Democrats.
Late returns show remarkable gains
from the districts controlled by Tam

in the counties north of Harlem river.
seems due to the action of the ballot
and registration laws under which the
election is held, and seems to indicate
that the purchase of votes has come to a
standstill.
