except one precinct in San Francisco,
which increase Budd's plurality in San
Francisco from IL ,226 to IL, 703. which
would increase Budd's total plurality
in the state to 1856.
EsTEE CLAIMS THE VICTORY.
At the state headquarters of each
party, a gubernational victory ia claimed.
For the first time since the election the
rooms of the Republican state central
committee are filed tonight with an en-
thusisetic crowd.
Chairman P. B. Cornwall has re-,
turns from every county from which he
claims a minimum plurality for Estee
of from 200 to 500, and thinks this vote
will be increased. Estee himself ex-
pressed confidence in his election, and
expects a plurality OF from 900 to 1900.
CHARGES OF FRAUD.
Cornwall claims that Estee has been
defrauded of thousands of votes in San
Francisco by Democratic judges and in-
spectors, who, he believes, count ed for
Budd votes cast for Estee.
II final returns do not show plural
ity for Estee. the Republicans will de
mand recount before ths next legisla.
ture. where gubernatorial contested
election cases must be heard. This, it
is claimed. will show such gains for
Estee in San Francisco as will overcome
a Democratic plurality OF 1000, should
Budd secure such.

cratic state central committee claims q
plurality for Budd tonight of 2018,
