NEW York. Nov. S.-Mdnight.-
Theodore Roosevelt, Republican. late
colonel of the First United States Cav
airy, has been elected governor Of this
state by plurality anywhere from
1900 to 10000. All Col. Rooseveit's as
sociates on the Republican state ticket
are probably elected with him. The re-
turns from both Greater New York and
from the counties outside Of this NUM-
cIpality are Incomplete, but enough
have been received to indicate heavy
falling on in the vote up the state, while
that OF the city was well sustained.
The consequence is falling on In the
Republican plurality In the state from
$4,000 to the npproximated figures given
above. Outside Of Greater New York
the vote for Van wycls is only about
one-ffth of one per cent above that Of
Porter In 1896. There appears to be a
loss of four Republican congressman in
the Brooklyn districts, the Second,
Fourth. Fifth and Sixth; and Congress
man ouiggs who had q majority Of
about 5000 at the election last 80. has
been DEBATED by william Astor chanler.
In the Albany distrios, the Twentieth,
Giynn. Democrat, has been elected to
succeed southwicls, Republican.
In addition to the foregoing there are
saan,inr,lv Democratic gains in the
Eighth and Thirteenth districts, both in
this city, Daniel j. Rlordan being elected
in the one and Jefferson N. Levy in
the other. This makes a total gain Of
seven congressman.
NEW YORK, Nov. Sat II o'clock
the indications were that Theodore
Roosevelt, the Republican nominee had
carried the state by plurality over
Augustus Van wyek Of about 10000.
The total Republican vote when re-
celved viii probably show falling off,
Us compared with that for Governor
Black In 1896 OF about IA per cent In
the municipality OF New York the old
time Democratic majority was approx
imated, Van wyck's vote being about
$4,000 greater than that OF the Repub-
llcan candidate. This latter result was
helped in some measure by the result
In the borough OF Brooklyn (Rlng'S
county, which In 1896 gave Black, Rep,
plurality of 23,6s2 but to-day gave a
Democratic plurality Of nbout 1880.
Brooklyn is the home OF Judge Van
wyck, but this fact does not wholly ex-
plain the practical reversal of plurallt-
les, which, II is possible, is attributable
to the lukewarmness of the friends of
Jacob Worth, who was deposed from
the craftsmanship OF the county commit
tee as a consequence of his opposition
TO the plans of Senator Plat in the
maVoralty contest last year.
The returns from many counties up
the state are incomplete and In some
cases are missing altogether, The lndi-
cations being computlOns upon the hg-
ures at hand, point to a Republican plu-
rality in the counties above the Harlem
Of about 100000 to offset which the
Democrats can produce only the $4,000
plurality of Greater New York.
The figures on congressman are not
accessible at this hour, but there are
Indications that the Democrats have
made some gains In New York City
districts.
A Republican legislature will mean
the election OF Republican to the
United States senate In place OF Sena-
tor Murphy.
Every condition was favorable to the
polling Of full vote in all parts Of the
state.
Flights at the polls were few and cas-
! ily duelled. There wns no friction be-
tween deputies and police, one lending
assistance TO the other IN the preserVa-
tion OF order.
on the streets down town there were
the usual election night noises and
scenes. Returns were displayed In front
Of the newspaper offices and in numer-
Gus public places. Democrats good
uaturedlR accepted the fact Of the de-
feat OF their state ticket which was ap-
parent from the returns displayed carly
| In the evening and found what COM
pcnsatIon they could In the result in the
city.
