NEW YORK, Nov S-(Midnight-)-
Theodore Roosevelt, Republican, Tate
Colonel of the First United States Cav
airy, has been elected Governor of this
State by a plurality. anywhere from
$4,000 to 10000.
All of Colonel Roosevelt's associates
on the Republican State ticket are prob
ably elected with him. The returns
from Greater New York and from the
counties outside of this municipality
received to indicate heavy falling off
in the vote up the State, while that in
the cities was we'll sustained. The con-
sequence is a falling off in the plural
ity in the State from 212,000 to the ap-
proximated figures given above. Out
side of Greater New York the vote for
Van Wyck is only about one-f1fth of
per cent. above that of Porter in
1896. There appears to be a loss of
four Republican Congressman in the
Brooklyn district, the Second, Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth, and Congressman
Quigg CR), who had a majority of
about 5000 at the election last year,
has been defeated by William Astor
Chanler CD. In the Albany district,
the Twentieth, Glynn CD has been
elected to succeed Southwick R).
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 M.
Levy in the other. This makes total
Democratic gain of seven Cougressmen.
Superintendent McCullagf, after the
polls had closed, made the following
statement in regard to the operation of
the new election law:
My deputies have had no trouble in
any of the territory of Greater New
York. I had 700 deputies, 500 of whom
were on duty at the polls, 100 in re-
serve and 100 in specials, acting as
messengers. The only territory in
which / had any trouble was in the
eSAAlAA e1llO IllI1 GlSCllOu Oh
the Second Assembly District.
L expected to have trouble with
gangs Of rooters from New York, New
ark, Jersey City, Bristol, Connecticut,
and the. famous Bat Shea gang from
Troy. but as far as have heard there
have been no difficulties with these
men.
In case. my men had been over
whelmed at the polls 1 would have call
ed on the police, although I could as a
State officer call out the militia to quell
any, disturbances.
