Coler's Game Fight Proves Unavaiing--
Carries Greater New York by More
Than 100000, But This is Over
come by Gov. Odelrs Strength
Above the River Bronx.

New York. Nov. AT midnight Chair
man Dunn of the Republican State Com
mittee said: 1.-THE reelection of Governor
Odell is now an absolute certainty. His
plurality, believe, will be from 1900 to
1000"
Elliott Danforth of the Democratic state
Committee said at midnight:
The result is IN doubt, but from ad-
vices / have received, 1 still claim the
election of Coler."
Mr.. Danforth refused to name any plu-
rslity.
At midnight 1t was reported at head
quarters that Tammany Hall conceded the
reelection of Governor Odell.
Mr.. Coler, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, was asked tonight what he
thought of the result Of the election. He
said: You can quote me as saying that
don't give it up. cannot imagine how,
with the magnificent vote received in
Greater New York. there should be such
a peculiar vote in the upper State. am
convinced that there has been little of
that peculiar, heather Chinee business
going on"
That Is all Mr.. Coler would say.
The city of Greater New York which
last year elected fusionist to the may
o"alty retur ned to the Democracy today
and rolled up one of its old-time MAORI
ties for that party.
Locally the candidates voted for were
three Justices of the Supreme Court,
nineteen members of the National House
of Representatives, twcnty-one state
Senators and sixty-two State Assembly
men. In Kings County sheriff, and in
Queens district attorney were elected.
Coler's plurality for Governor in the
city was well above 100000. From the
start the returns showed that Edward B.
Amend. Vernon B. Davis and Edward E.
Mccall the 'Tammany Democratic candi-
dates. were elected to tine Supreme Court
bench by plurafities ranging from fo,oVO
to 10000 Their opponents were william
A. Keener Alfred Streckler and Ernest
Hall, who were appointed to the Supreme
Court by Governor Odell to. NIL Vacan-
cies. Keener and Streckler were pomin-
ated bv both tha Republicans and the
Greater New York Democracy, and Hall
by the Republicans. The Greater New
York Democracy placed John Dewitt
Warner in nomination for the office
against Mr.. Hall and the Tammany can
oidates.
The vote cast today showed a remark
able change of feeling from last year,
when Mayor Low carried New York
County by about 5000. The reversal of
the vote in Kings County was equally
note worthy. Last year Low carried the
county by more than 24,000 while the I'M
official returns tonight gave Coler 1910
nlurality and indicate that William F.
Nobody (Dem.) for sheriff, had won from
Adolph L. Kline CRep), by about the
same figures.
Oueensborough, the only one of the f1ve
bcroughs in the greater city that was car
ried by Shepard (Dem) for Mayor last
year. gave an estimated plurality Tor
Coler of $500. This was about 1900 more
than had been estimated by the party
leaders.
In spite of phenomenally large vote in
New York and Kings County for Bird S.
Coler, Democrat, the returns up TO late
hour tonight indicate the reelection OF
BENJAMIN B. Odel Governor, to the gov
errorship of New York by from 5000 to
5000 Colers plurality in Greater New
York exceeded $4,000, surplus of 5000
above the claim made by Charles F. Muir
phy. leader of rammany Hall. but even
that large vote was not sufficient to over
come the Republican majorities from over
the State. Odells vote in the country dis
tricts was lighter than two years ago but
Coler's was also lower than Stanchfelds
in the same year. In New York City
Coler's plurality was approximately H.
III.
t.. 5000; Kings County, 26.5Oo: Queens
County, $500 and Richmond. $500

pineer. Edward A. Bend; Judge of Court
of Appeals, William z. Werner.
Figures from the Congressional districts
in the State gave the delegation of 20
republicans and II Democrats. The pre-
sent figures are % Republicans and II
democrats All returns indicated that
Judge Gray, Democratic candidate for
1udre of the Court of Appeals ran some
ahead of his ticket The Democrats
made gains in the State legislature, but
the gains were not sufficient to endanger
the Republican hold on the seat In the
United States Senate now held by
Thomas C. Platt. AS is usually the case
IN New York the question was whether
rvo1ers vote in the city would be large
aroueh to overcome the Oden pluralities
in the up State counties.
New York aid Kings Counties did all
mat had been expected Of them by the
Domocrats and even more for the former
Fave Coler approximately $1,000 more than

went Democratic by 26,5OO.
Queens and Richmond were counted on

t,,,ns showed Republican losses in the up
S,a+e counties. but as the night wore on
