the First United States Volunteer Cav
airy, has been elected Governor OF this
State by plurality anywhere from 1900
to 10000. All Colonel Roosevelts asso-
clates on the Republican State ticket are
probably elected with him.
HEAVY REPUBLICAN LOSSES.
The returns. both from Greater New
York and from the counties outside g.
this municipality, are incomplete, out
enough have been received to indicate a
heavy falling off in the vote up the State
while that in the city was well sustained
The consequence Is a falling off in the
Republican plurality in the State from
2l2 900 TO the approXimated figures given
above. Outside of Greater New York the
vote for Van Wyck is only about one
fifth Of l per cent. above that of Porter
in 1896.
LOSSES ON CONGRESSNlEN.
There appears to be a loss of four Re-
publican congressman in the Brooklyn
districts-the Second, Fourth, Fifth, and
Sixth-and Congressman Quigg, who had
a majority of about 5000 at the election
last year, has been defeated by William
Astor Chanler. In the Albany District (tne
Twentieth), Glynn DemocraD, has been
elected to succeed Southwck Republican).
In the municipality of New York the
old-tlme Democratic majority was APP
proximated, Van Wyck's vote being about
$1,000 greater than that of the Republi-
can candidate.
BROOKLYN DEMOCRATIC.
The latter result was helped in some
measure by the result in the Borough of
BROOKLYN O<ings county, which. in 1926,
gave Black Republicam a plurality OF
% 6S2, but to-day gave Democratic plu-
rality of about 1880. Brooklyn is the
home Of Judge Van Wyck, but this fact
does not wholly explain the practical re-
yersal of pluralities, which. it is possible,
IS attributable to the lukewarmness Of the
friends of Jacob Worth. who was deposed
from the craftsmanship of the County
Committee as q consequence OF his oppo-
sition TO the plans Of Senator Platt in the
mayoralty contest last year.
UP-THE-STATE VOTE.
The returns from many counties up the
State are incomplete, and in some cases
are missing altogether The indications
being computations upon the figures at
hand. point TO a Republican plurality in
the counties above the Harlem Of about
100 600. to offset which the Democrats can
produce only the $1,000 plurality in Greater
New York.
SOLDIER VOTE.
The soldier vote will not be counted until
December 1st but It 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.
sIyL,zER, FREE-SILVERITE, ELECTED
Congressman sulzer Democrat, whose
| district renominated him upon the free
silver platform, is undoubtedly reelected.
LEGISLATURE IN DOUBT.
LITTLE is known as TO the vote FOR
| state Senators and Assemblymen. The
Republicans had in the last Legislature
| n majority of twenty-eight on joint odl-
| Iot and leaders of the party profess con-
ddence that there will be no material
| AMMUNITION of that majority. A Republi-
can Legislature will mean the election OF
| q Republican TO the United States Senate
| I'm place of Senator Murphy.
Every condition was favorable 10 the
polling of full vote in all parts Of the
| State
NO TROUBLE AT POLLS.
| N
nredictions of trouble at the polls The
| State deputies, authorized by act Of the
| last LEGISLATURE, We're most in evidence
| I'm the East Side districts, where the cheap
| iodging-houses are located. The numDer
| NJ arrests made was below, rather than
bavond. the usual record of a general
| election. and in many cases the occasion
was found to be in carelessness OF regis
| tration.
FIGHTS FEW.
Fights al the polls were few and easily
ouelled. There was no friction between
| deputies and police, the one lending assis-
,ance 10 the other In the preservation OF
order.
