New York Breaks Its Record.
ALBANY, N. T., Nov 4.-With less
than one-fourth of the election dis
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 3O3,OOO in the state.
One county in the state, Schoharie,
which is the home of Chairman DAN
forth of the state democratic commit
tee, has given Bryan plurality of 500.
New York city has broken its political
record of presidential elections by Civ
ing Mckinley 1859 plurality over
BRYAN. This is 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 a republican
plurality of $4,000. In Campbell s
county Ernests majority was ,l,4O4,
while McKinley's was 1858 Hamil-
ton county complete gives Mckinley
47,7S9; Bryan, Ss,OOS; Palmer 1856; Nc
Kinley's plurality, 1910 ShattueIs
(rep.) for congress- in the First district,
has a plurality of 9O5; Bromw ell, Sec
ond district, will be elected by 9, 300
The pluralities for republicans on the
state ticket are almost the same as for
Mckinley.
Pennsylvania Vote.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov, L. Estimates
from every county in the state give
Mckinley an apparent plurality of
@65,05O' The great size of the ticket
made counting necessarily slow, and
the estima res in many counties are un-
doubleday below the actual republican
pluralitie 8 There is every reason to
believe chat the official returns will
show q. plurality for Mckinley of
nearly $50, 900 The Legislature is
almost entirely republican, the
demo- ;ratic representatives not ex-
ceedi hg ten per cent. in a member
ship in the lower house of 2O4. Phila-
DELI lhia complete gives Mckinley 49,
9S8 Bryan, 6S, 1913. Republican plural
Ity lis, $50 In the Third congressional
Ii strict ex-Congressman William Nc
a leer gold democrat, is elected to sue
; eed Frederick Waterman, republican.
The four other congressional districts
m this city were carried by the repub-
licans. 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,
vs.; democrats, 2-the same as in the
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, Maguffin, Pike, Butler,
Greenup, 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 1928. 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-
tween W. C. P. Breckenridge and E. E.
Settle is as yet in doubt BY yester-
days election the republicans will
probably be enabled to elect a repub-
lican to the United States senate to
succeed Senator c. J. Blackburn.
Maryland Republican.
BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 4.-The indica-
lions at midnight are that Mckinley
leads Bryan by 100000, 900 of which
has been contributed by Baltimore.
