Mr. COler. Democratic candidate for
governor, was asked tonight what he
tnougnt Of the result of the election.
You can quote me as saying that I
90 not give 1t up. I cannot Imagine
how with the magnificent vote 1 re-
celved IN Greater New York there
should be such a peculiar vote in the
upper part of the state. 1 am con-
vlneed that there has been a little of
tnat peculiar Heather Chinese BUSH
ness going on"
That is all Mr.. Coler you'd say.
Figures from the congressional dis
tricts in the state gave the delegation
as twenty Republicans to seventeen
democrats The present state repre-
sentatton is twenty-five Republicans to
twelve Democrats. All returns fndi-
cate that Judge Gray, Democratic can
oidate Tor judge Of the court of appeals,
ran somewhat ahead of his ticket.
The Democrats made gains in the
state legislature, but the gains were
not sufficient to endanger the Repub-
ncan hold on the seat in the United
states senate now held by Thomas c.
Plat
New York and Kings counties did all
that had been expected of them by
the Democrats, and even more. for the
former gave COler approximately IS, 900
more than Odell, and Kings, Mr.. Coler's
home, went Democratic by 26.5OQ
Queens and Richmond were counted to
raise the total to 100000 The first re-
turns showed Republican losses in the
upstate counties, but as the night wore
on estimates made it appear that Odeu
would come TO the Bronx with some
10000 to $4,000, which would elect him
by from 10000 TO 10. 900.
Unofficial figures on the vote for con-
gressmen from New York county I'D
TO II; 80 p. m. made it appear that the
Democrats had elected all of their can
didates in the county Perhaps the
most notable change was in the newly
formed Thirteenth district, which was
supposed to be Republican by from
5000 TO 1000, but which gave a Dlu-
raiity for Francis Burton Harrison
(Dem). Mr.. Harrison made an active
canvass. He was supported by both
Tammsny Hall and the Greater New
York Democracy. William r. Hearst,
proprietor Of the New York American,
was elected from the Eleventh district

house from New York county is Tim
othy d. Sullivan, formerly a state SEN
