New York, Nov. 9-Theodore Roose.
welt, repu blcan, late colonel of the
First United States volunteer cavalry,
has been elected governor OF this state
by plurality OF anywhere from Is OOC
to 20, 900. All of Col Roosevell's asso
ciates on the republican state ticket
are probably elected with him. The
returns both from Greater New York
and from the counties outside Of this
municipality are incomplete but
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 fall
ing off in the republican plurality
in the state from $4,000 TO the
Appropriated figures given above.
Outside of Greater New York the
vote for Van Wyck is only about one
fifth OF one 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 Con-
gresham Quigg, who had a majority Of
about 5000 at the election last year,
has been defeated by William Aston
Chanler. In the Albany district, the
Twentieth, Glynn. democrat, has been
elected to succeed Southwicls, repub.
lican.
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 q
total democratic gain Of seven con-
gressmen.
Revised figures on congressman show
that Representative Bennett, repub-
lcan, is reelected in the Fifth dis
trict, Brooklyn, and that Representa-.
tive Riggs, democrat, is defeated by
Prendergast-
The vote in the Thirty.second dis
trict (Buffalo) is very close, with the
probability Of the election Of Ryan,
democrat, in the place Of Mahany, re.
publican. A democrat, Livingstone,
is reported elected in the Nineteenth
district, at present represented by
Cochran, republican. In the Sixteenth
congressional district John Underhill,
democrat, was elected, succeeding
republican.
In the municipality Of New York
the old.time democratic majority was
Appropriated, Van Wyck's vote being
about $4,000 greater than that Of the
republican candidate. This latter re-
suit was helped, in some measure, by
the result in the borough Of Brooklyn
Kings county, which in 1895 gave
Black, republican, q plurality Of 49,.
$50, but yesterday gave democratic
plurality Of about 1880.
The figures on congressman are not
accessible at this hour, but there are
indications that the democrats have
made gains in New York city districts
The majority Of Congressman Quigg In
the Eleventh district is reduced by
William Astor Chanler, but he is prob
ably reelected. Congressman, Sulzer,
democrat, is undoubtedly reelected.
Little is known as to the votes for
state senators and assembly. The re-
publicans had in the last legislature a
majority of 2S on joint ballot and
leaders of the party profess confidence
that there will be no material diminu-
ton of that majority. A republican
legislature will mean the election of
republican United States senator in
place Of Senator Murphy.
Last night, Chairman 0dell, of the
republican state committee, said:
We still claim the state by between IS, 900 and
10000 plurality for Roosevelt The country dis
tricts came up nobly. The democratic plurali-
ties in Greater New York were larger than we
anticipated. The result in the country dis
tricts was due to the active and energetic work
OF republican leaders We have both branches
OF the legislature by safe majority. We
have probably lost the congressional delega-
ton from Greater New York We have no
figures on which to base on estimate Of the
congressman Of the state. think oil the re-
publican ticket Is elected below the governor
ship but we have as yet no complete returns.
