NEW YORK, Nov S.-Theodore Roose<
welt Republican,. late colonel of the First
United States Volunteer Cavalry, has been
elected Governor OF this State by plu-
rality anywhere from $1,000 to 20,Oo0. All
Colonel Roosevelts associates on the Re-
publican State ticket are probably elect-
ed with him. The returns both from
Greater New York and from the counties
outside of this municipality are incom-
plete, but enough have been received To
Indicate heavy falling off in the vote up
the State, while that I'm the city was well
sustained. The consequence Is falling
off in the Republican plurality I'm the
State from 2l2OOO to the approximated
figures given above. Outside OF Greater
New York the vote for Van Wyck is only
about one-ffth OF one per cent above that
cf Porter in. 1896. There appears to be a.
less OF four Republican congressman I'm

Md-nght-In addition 10 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 NJ. Levy
in the other. This makes total Demo-
cratic gain Of seven congressman.

men show that Representative Bennetc

Brooklyn. and that Representative briggs

The total Republican vote. when re-
ceived. will probably show falling on.
"a compared with that for Governor
Black In 1886 OF about li6 per cent.
In the municipality OF New York the
old-time Democratic majority was ap-
proximated. Van Wyck's vote being abous
$1,000 greater than that OF the Republis
can candidate.
4 REVERSAL IN BROOKLYN.
The later result was helped in soma
measure by the result IN tho borough
OF Brooklyn (kings county,. which I'm
1896 gave Black (Repubican), a plurality
OF 6s30. Brooklyn Is the home OF Judgs
Van Wyck. but this fact does not wholly
explain the practical reversal OF pluraii-
ties. which. II Is possible is attributable
10 the lukewarmness % the friends oe

as a consequence OF his opposition 10

atty contest last year.
RETURNS INCOMPLETE.
The returns from many county up thu
State are incomplete. and in some cases
are missing altogether The indications
being computations upon the figures at
In the counties above the Harlem OF
about 100 600. 20 Offset which the Demo-
Gratis can produce only the 5000 plu~
rality OF Greater New York. The SOL
diar vote will not be counted until De-
cenber lst. but Il 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 Rooses
welt viii be increased.
DEMOCRATIC GAINS.
The figures on congressman are no. ac-
cessible az this hour. but there are iadi-
cations that the Democrats have mado
some gains in New York city districts.
The majority OF C0rgressman QUigg In
the l4th district has been reduced by wa.
Ham Astor Chandler, but he Is probably
returned.
