New York, Nov. 9-Comparisons of the
votes for governor are made with that of
1885, when. on total of 1.42S,S7O, Black
(rep0 had a plurality over Porter, regular
democratic. of 212,991 In Greater New
York Blacks plurality over Porter was
B6,SO5. The national democratic candidate
Tor governor received 1915 votes in the
four counties embraced in Greater New
York and 2O.69 in the state.
AT II o'clock the indications were that
Theodore Roosevelt, the republican NOM
inee, had carried the state by a plurality
over Augustus Van Wyck of about 100000.
The total republican vote when received
will probably show falling off, as COM
pared with that for Gov. Black In 1896, of
about IA per cent In the municipality of
New York the old-time democratic ma
pority was Appropriated, Van Wyck's vote
being about $4,000 greater than that of the
republican candidate. This latter result
was helped In some measure by the result
In the borough of Brooklyn (King's coun-
fy), which in 1896 gave Black (rep.) a plu-
rality of 1852, but Tuesday gave demo-
cratic plurality of about 1880 Brooklyn
Is the home of Judge Van Wyck, but this
fact does not wholly explain the practical
reversal of pluralities, which, 1t is possible,
Ia attributable to the lukewarmness of the
friends of Jacob Worth who was deposed
from the Craftsmanship of the county COM
mittee as consequence of his opposition
to the plans Of Senator Plat in the mayor
atty contest last year.
The returns from many counties I'm tbe
state are incomplete, and in some cas-
are missing altogether. The indications
being computations upon the figures at
hand, point to republican plurality in the
counties above the Harlem of about 10O,-
600. to Offset which the democrats can pro.
duce only the $4,000 plurality of Greater
New York.
The soldier vote will not be counted I'M
til December l, but 1t is not likely that the
ballots from the camps will materially
alter the result There would seem to be
the greater probability that the majority
for Roosevelt will be increased
The figures on congressman are not ac-
cessible at this hour, but there are indica-
lions that the democrats have made some
gains in the New York city districts The
majority of Congressman Quigg, in the
Fourteenth district, has been reduced by
William Astor Chanler. but he is probably
returned. Congressman Sulzer, democrat,
whose district renominated him upon a
free silver platform, is undoubtedly re-
elected.
Little is known as to the votes for state
senators and assemblymen. The repub-
Noans had in the last legislature majority
OF 20 on Joint ballot. and leaders Of the
party profess confidence that there will be
no material diminution of that majority
republican legislature VIII mean the
election Of republican to the United
States senate In place of Senator Murphy.
New York, Nov. 9.-The state senate will
probably stand II republicans and 20 DEM
ocrats. The last senate contained So re-
publtoans. II democrats and one tndepend-
ant.
At Midnight.
At midnight Chairman Odell, of the re-
publican state committee, said: I'VE
claim the state by between $4,000 and 40
900 plurality for Roosevelt. The country
districts came up nobly. The democratic
pluralities in Greater New York were
larger than we anticipated. The result In
the country districts was due to the active
and energetic work Of the republican
leaders. We have both branches of the
legislature by safe majority. We have
probably lost the congressional delegation
from Greater New York. We have no fig
ures on which to base an estimate Of the
congressman in the state. I think all the
republican ticket is elected below the gov
Arnorship, but we have as yet no complete
returns"
Senator Platt in discussing the returns
up the state, said the cities had gone bad,
but the country districts would make up
any deficiency. Senator Platt claims both
the state and the legislature.
Chairman Odell says that the city sends

Michigan.
Detroit, Mich, Nov. 9.-Gov. Pingree held
his own tolerably well in Tuesdays cleo
lions. At ten o'clock the republican state
central committee claimed his election by
from $4,000 to 10000 majority. The demo-
cratic state committee do not yet concede
defeat. The governor ran several hundred
ahead of his ticket in Detroit and ran up a
plurality Of 1000 in Grand Rapids. In Sag
tnaw he doubled on his plurality of 1896. In
Jackson, Lansing, Bay City and other
smaller cities he was cut considera bly,, but
the country districts surrounding went
quite strongly for Pingree. The balance
Of the republican state ticket is elected.
The upper peninsula gave its usual repub-
Ncan majorities, but there was a great
amount Of splitting on governor in the
lower peninsula. The vote on congressme en-
Is close in half Of the y districts, the Others
returning republicans with certainty
The legislature will have a republican
majority, but whether Pingree or anti on
the equal taxation issue is as yet undeter-
mined.
Chicago, Nov Sat ten o'clock indica-
lions We're that the, republicans have
elected their entire state ticket, but fig
ures are coming in slowly from outside of
Chicago, and nothing could be estimated
with accuracy Democrats in many coun-
ties have shown gains over the vote of
1S9b, and they have apparently secured sew
eral congressman in Cook county and
some outside of 1t.
Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, Nov. 9.-Up to II D. m. not
over five per cent of the election returns
have been received On this basis 1t is i'm
possible to make an accurate forecast of
he TUG tN,r
the city Of Milwaukee give Scofield (repl
for governor 1924 and Sawyer (dem) PSF
In 1896 the republican vote for the same
precincts gave Scofield 1856 and Peck 1850,
showing big falling off in the vote this
year and considerable gain in this city
Tuesday for the head Of the democratic
ticket.
Chairman Treat, of the republican state
committee, while not giving out any accu.
rate figures, estimates that Scofeld will
carry Che state by $4,000 TO 10000 plurality
and claims nine congressman. On the other
hand, National Democratic Committee
man e. c. Wall, who is figuring for the
democrats, says he Will concede nothing at
the present time nor will he give any fig
ures. He says the latest returns favor the
democratic ticket
From conservative standpoint II looks
as though Scofeld will carry the state by
somewhat reduced plurality from the
ngures estimated by Chairman Treat.
AT this hour there is nothing on which to
oase me complexion of the next legislature,
nor can the result on congressman be
stated.
