New York, Nov 5.-Although the un-
official report from the state apparent
" shows OdeEs reelection by about
10000 plurality, Mr. Coler, his demo-
cratic opponent, refused to-day to con-
cede defeat, declaring he wished to
await the official count. Mr. Coler's
statement was as follows: 'sSuppos-
ing the democratic ticket had received,
say in the neighborhood of 100000 ma
jority in Greater New York there was
nothing to have stopped the republi-
cans from claiming the upper section
of the state by at least 100000"
This was followed by a sensational
announcement from Secretary Mason
of the democratic committee that he
refused to concede Odell's election, and
that fraud had robbed Coler of many
votes up the state, and that Senator
Hill and Chairman Campbell of the
state committee would come to New
York this evening to decide upon a
plan of action
About the time that this statement
appeared a rumor was circulated that
Color intended to make contest in the
courts, and simultaneously the Even
ing Journal issued an extra declaring
that former Senator Hill, Charles f.
Murphy and Hugh Mclaughlin claimed
Colors election. This rumor, together
with the statements made by Mr. Coler
nave created considerable excitement
in this city.
