New York, Nov. 9.-TheOdOre Roose-
Welt, repu bliean, late colonel Of the
First United States volunteer cavalry,
has been elected governor Of this state
BY aplurality Of anywhere from is, 600
/ to 90 600. All Of Col Roosevelt's assO-
ciHtes on the republican state ticket
are probably elected with him The
retHrns both from Greater EeW York
and from the counties outside Of this
municipality are incomplete, but
enough have been received to indicate
a heavy falling of in the vote up the
state, while that IN the city was well
sustained The consequence is a fall
ing OF in the republican plurality
in the state from 212, 900 to the
appropriated figures given above
Outside Of Greater New York the
vote for Van Wyck is only about one
fifth Of one per cent above that Of
Porter in 1896. There appears to be a
loss Of four repu blican congressman in
the Brooklyn district the Second,
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth; and Con-
gresham Quigg, who had majority Of
about 5000 at the election last year,
has been defeated BY William AstOr
Chanler. In the Albany district, the
Twentieth, Glynn, democrat, has been
elected to succeed South wick, repub-
lican-
In addition to the foregoing there
are, seemingly, democratic gains in
the Eighth and Thirteenth districts,
both in this city, Daniel J. RiOrdan
being elected IN the One and jefferson
II. Levy in the other. This makes a
total democratic gain Of seven con-
gressmen-
Revised figures on congressman show
that Representative Bennett, repub-
lican, is reelected in the Fifth dis
trict, Brooklyn, and that Representa-
tive Riggs, democrat, is defeated by
Prendergask
The vote in the Thirty-secOnd dis
trict buffalo is very close, with the
probability Of the election Of Ryan,
democrat, in the place of Mahany, re-
publican. A democrat, Livingstone
is reported elected in the Nineteenth
district, at present represented by
Cochran, repu blican. IN the Sixteenth
congressional district John Underhill,
democrat, was elected, succeeding a
republican.
In the municipality of New York
the Old-time democratic majority was
apprOximzJed, Van Wyck's vote being
about so, 600 greater than that of the
republican candidate. This latter re-
suit was helped, in some measure, by
the result in the borough Of Brooklyn
Kings county,, which in 1896 gave
Black, republican, a plurality of 23,-
$50, but yesterday gave a democratic
plurality Of about 16, $50.
The figures on congressman are not
accessible at this hour, but there are
indications that the democrats have
made gains in New York city districts
The majority Of Congressman Quigg in
the Eleventh district is reduced BY
William AstOr Chanler, but he is prob
ably reelected. Congressman, Sulzer,
democrat, is undOu btedly reelected
Little is known Is to the votes for
state senators and assembly. The re-
publicans had in the last legislature a
majority of % on joint ballot and
leaders of the party profess confidence
that there will be no material diminu-
tiOn Of that majority. republican
legislature viii mean the election of
repu blican United States senator in
place of Senator Murphy.
Last night, Chairman OdelI, Of the
repu blican state committee, said:
We still claim the state by between g. 900 and
a. 600 plurality for Roosevelt The country dis
trfcts came Up nobiy- The democratic plurali-
ties in Greater New York we're larger than we
anticipated The result in the country dis
tricts was due 70 the active and energetic work
OF republican leaders We have both branches
OF the legislature BY safe majority. We
have probably lost the congress fona1 delega-
tion from Greater New York We have no
figures on which 70 base an estimate Of the
congressmen OF the state think al the re-
publican ticket IS elected below The governor
ship, but we have as yet no complete returns
