The Associated Press bulletins show
that the assembly elected in New
York outside Of thto boroughs Of Man
haitian. Bronx and Brooklyn in Greater
New York will probably consist of II
republicans and "a democrats.
The result of the first municipal
election in Greater New York COM
pletely reverses the conditions of 1896
when McKiDlev's q plurality in the same
territory was 56, S65. The plurality of
Van Wyck is about S5 600 and the en-
tire Tammany ticket is elected with
majorities ranging from 10000 to 100, =
600 Colers plurality over Fitch Gre
publican, for comptroller is over 100,
900. Both Van Wyck and Coer were
free silver adherents in 1896. Alton
3. Parker (democrat) for judge OF the
state court of appeals carried Greater
New York by lO6, 900, iusnrlng his
eject IOl anu uCliiptlGiiO St'tbt7' III 'i'S
state.
Such rush to the polls has never
been known except in presidential
years. The rainy weather failed to
damnen civic patriotism. The unotfi-
cial vote for mayor is as follows: Van
Nvc'l, 235, 500; Low, 149, ,S13; Tracy.
lOl ,S33 George, 90. S32 Gleason, 5l2,
The vote for Van Nyck is about Al. 20
per cent of the total vote cast on less
than the 1921 per cent cast for Bryan
in 1896 in the same territory.
RESULT IN MARYLAND.
Baltimore. Md. Nov. 4.-With semi
official returns from all counties in the
state except ST. Mary's and Calvert
and fairly good estimates from there
the democrats appear to have elected
enough members to the next leglsla-
tufe TO give them 4 majority of five Oh
Joint ballot and to insure them a
United States senator to succeed Sen
atOr German.
SILVER REPUBLICANS WIN.
Denver, Colo, Nov 4.--State returns
are meagre, bnt indicate the re-elec
tion of Chas. d. Hayt (republican) as
supreme Judge by l, 800 majority over
Gabbert (populiSt- dcmocrat). The en-
tire silver republican ticket was elected
in this county.
IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Sioux Falls. S. D., Nov, 4.--In eight
judicial circuits in the state the repub
licans elect five judges, the democrats
one and populists two. T he republican
victories come as surprise to republi-
cans as we'll as the opposition.
FUSIONISTS TAKE NEBRASKA.
Lincoln, Neb, Nov. 4.-Additioual
precinct returns from the state do not
change the figures given last night in
dcating fusion plurality exceeding
that of 1895 which was about 1000.
BUSHNELL' MAJORITY.
Columbus, Ohio, Nov 4.-Unofficial
but complete returns show a republican
plurality of 6, 520 in Ohio. Both sides
still claim majority of the legisla-
ture, the republicans by five and the
democrats by three.
MARYLAND IN DOUBT.
Baltimore, Nov. 4.-State1 Senator
Norman B. Scott, chairman of the re-
publican state central committee, this
afternoon made the following state
ment as to the legislative situation:
"It does not avail now, - said he.
"to do any claiming that will not be
substantiated by the returns. We have
16 republican senators to nine demo-
cratic and one doubtful, the one from
Calvert, though [ am assured that the
republican senators and member of the
hOuse were elected If we elect sem
ator from Calvert we will have a ma
iority of eight in the senate In the
house there are 81 members Ii takes
46 of these to organize the house, which
we have. This gives us a majority of
one in the house and either seven or
nine on joint ballot.
"This is my claim, and it will be
found that it will be substantiated.
must confess that the majority is lit
tie too close for comfort, but such a
small working majority has some bene-
Ats. for it always results in cementing
the party together for good legisla-
tive work.
The chairman of both state commit
tees have sent trusty lieutenants tC
Calvert county to watch the count
, there.

: returns from the election in Virginia
