ELECTION CLOSE.
Dispatches Seem to Favor the Election
of Mckinley and Hobart.
RETURNS SLOW IN COMING.
If Mckinley Is Elected His Majority IL
Likely to BE Much Narrower Than
Was Looked for as a Result OF
the Earlier Dispatches.

CHICAGO, Nov At is reasonably
certain that Mckinley and Hobart are

be, from indications, narrow one,
a much narrower one than has
been looked for as the result OF

ing electoral votes are conceded
to Mckinley: Connecticut 6; Illinois
"a; Iowa, 10; Maine, g. Maryland, s; Mas
sachusetts, Is; Michigan, IA; Minnesota,

tricts above the Harlem river to hear
from and with the vote of New York
city and Kings county complete, the
plurality of Mckinley over Bryan
promises to exceed 100000 in the state.
One county in the state, Schoharie,
which is the home of Chairman Dan

tee, has given Bryan a plurality of 500
New York city has broken its political
record of presidential elections by Civ
ing Mckinley 1859 plurality over
Bryan. This is a republican plurality
for President for the first time in this
city's history.
Mckinley Carries Ohio.
CLEVELAND, O.. Nov. 4.-The returns
indicate the election of II republicans
and two democrats to congress, and
two districts in doubt When the
present Ohio delegation in congress of
10 republicans and two democrats was
elected the state gave republican
plurality of $4,000. In CampbelPs
county Ernests majority was 1,494,
while McKinley's was 1858. Hamil-
ton county complete gives Mckinley
47,7S2; Bryan, 3s,OO3; Palmer, 1856; Nc
Kinley's plurality, 1879. Shattuck
rep for congress in the First district,
has plurality of 9O5; Bromwell, See
ond district, will be elected by 9,209.
The pluralities for republicans on the
state ticket are almost the same as for
Mckinley.
Pennsylvania Vote.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4. -Estimates
from every county in the state give
Mckinley an apparent plurality of
266,95O The great size of the ticket
made counting necessarily slow, and
the estimates in many counties are UNI
'doubtedly below the actual republican
pluralities. There is every reason to
believe that the official returns will
show plurality for Mckinley of
nearly 100000. The legislature is
almost entirely republican, the
democratic representatives not ex-
ceeding ten per cent. in member
ship in the lower house of 2O4. Phila-
delphia complete gives Mckinley 49,
9S3; Bryan, 6S, 1913. Republican plural

LEANS Including the two congress
men-at-large, Pennsylvania elected 30
congressman. According to the latest
returns received by the Associated
press, the delegation will be divided
politically as follows: Republicans,

last congress.
Kentucky Probably for Mckinley.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. AT eight
o'clock this morning Kentucky seemed
safe for Mckinley. Counties not heard
from then were: Leslie, Floyd, John
son, Knott, Magufin, Pike, Butler,
Grcenup, Harrison, Jackson, Owen and
part of Henry. These include strong
republican as we'll as strong silver coun-
ties, but the heavy republican gains
everywhere seem to make the state safe
for Mckinley, though the result may
be close. Taking the estimate of the
missing counties, made several days
ago by Chairman Sommers, of the dem
ocratic committee, the Mckinley ma
jority of the missing vote is 1888. This
would give the state to Mckinley by
4,744. This is the democratic estimate
of the missing counties. The demo-
Gratis elected six out of IL congress
men. The result in the Seventh be-
