Claims and Estimates Regarding the States
in the Great West.
Chicago, Nov. 4.-The returns re-
ceived by the Associated Press up to
midnight indicate the election of Nc
Kinley and Hobart, although returns
are So meager from a number of doubt
full states that this conclusion can only
be reached by an estimate based upon
the gains and losses. The best esti-
mates obtainable indicate that Maine
and Vermont have given majorities
somewhat reduced from the September
elections: that New Hampshire gives
about 10000: Massachusetts, about 12o,-
600 and Rhode Island and Connecticut
proportionate majorities-an for Nc
Kinley; New York is estimated at
above 100000. and Pennsylvania is like
ly to reach the same figure, If not a
greater. Maryland has been carried for
the Republican candidate for president
by n majority exceeding 10000, and
Delaware is confidently claimed, but
apparently in dispute. although the
plurality is not likely to exceed 1000.
Claims That Are Not justified.
The returns from West Virginia are
not sufficient to justify the claim Of
either party. Ohio has given a very
large Republican plurality. and Ken
lucky is apparently assured to the Nc
Kinley column, although later returns
may not justify this claim. Tennessee
seems to have been carried for Bryan,
Notwithstanding the confident asser-
managers, and the same is probably
true of North Carolina. Indiana and
Michigan. as well as Minnesota, indi-
cate heavy Republican gains and a
strong probability that they have gone
for Mckinley.
Illinois Gives Mckinley 100 900.
The state OF Illinois will give Nc
Kinley over 100. 900 plurality Nebraska
and North and South Dakota are very
close, and still in doubt Wyoming
seems to have gone for Mckinley The
returns from the Pacific coast states
are too meager to justify any claim
respecting them. The states of Vir-
ginia. South Carolina. Florida, Georgia.
Alabama. Louisiana, Arkansas, Mis-
souri,. Colorado. Nevada. Montana and
Idaho may safely be placed in the
Bryan column. The returns from Kan
sas and Texas are scattering but al
though heavy Republican gains are re-
ported from Dallas and Galveston, the
| state probably goes for Bryan.
Gov. AItgeld Says Nothing.
Gov. Altgeld was seen at the Palmer
House by an Associated Press reporter
in regard to the statement sent ont
that he had conceded his defeat in Ili-
nois, and was asked IL he desired to
make any statement. He replied that
he had made no statements thus far
for the papers. and did not care to saw
anything in answer to the report.
