New York, November 4-In spite Of phenomenally large vote in New York and Kings county for Bird S. Coler demo- crat. the returns up to a late hour to- night indicate the reelection of Benjamin B. Odell governor. to the governorship of New York state from 5000 to 5000 Coler's plurality In Greater New York exceeded 115,0O0, surplus of 5000 above the claim made by Charles F. Murphy. leader of Tammany hall. but even that large vote was not sufficient to overcome the re- publican majorities from over the state. Odell's vote in the country districts was lighter than two years ago, but Coler's was also lower than Stanchfields in the same year. In New York city Coler's plurality was approximately 117,500 made up as follows:
 New York county 5000. Kings county 26,500 Queens $500 and Richmond 2S0O.
 Oyster Bay. where President Roose- velt's country home is situated and where he voted today, was carried by Collar, his plurality being 1S1. Two years ago odelrs plurality was 512. The republican state ticket in full is as follows:
 Governor, Benjamin B. Odell, lieuten- ant governor, Frank w. Higgins; secre- tary of state, John F. o'Brien; comptrol- Ter Nathan L. Miller; treaslser. John G. Wycker; attorney general, H. B. Conan; state engineer, Edward A. Bond; judge of the court of appeals, William E. Wer- ner.
 Figures from the congressional dis tricts In the state gave the delegation of twenty republicans and seventeen dem- ocrats. The present figures are twenty two republicans and twelve democrats. All returns indicate that Judge Gray. democratic candidate for judge of the court of appeals, ran some ahead of his ticket.
 The democrats made gains in the state legislature, but the gains were not suf- ficient 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 Coler's vote in the city would be large enough to over come the Odef1 plurality in the up-the- state counties
 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 S70O0 more than Odell, and Kings MT. Coler's' home county, went democratic by 26.500.
 Queens and Richmond were counted on to raise the total to 120.000 The first re- turns showed republican losses in the up- state counties, but as the night wore on, estimates made it appear that Odell would come to the Bronx with from 130,000 to 135. GOO, which would elect him by from 10000 to 15,0O0.
 Unofficial figures on the vote for con- gressmcn Tn New York county up to II 30 p. m. made it appeal that the democrats had elected all of their candidates in the county. Perhaps the most notable change was in the newly former Thirteenth dis trict which was supposed to be republi- can by fl om 5000 to 7OO0 but which gave a plurality for Francis Burton Harrison, democrat Mr. Harrison made an active canvass. He was supported by both Tammany hall and the Greater New York democracy. William R. Hearst, proprie- tor of the New York American, was elect ed from the Eleventh district. Others elected to the national house from New York county are Timothy D. Sullivan formerly a state senator and one of the best known of the Tammany leaders, ana Hen:y M. Goldfogle, who beat Charles Adler, formerly republican assemblyman by the democrats today, their candidate. Isidore Cohn. having fair plurality. All told the democrats won four assembly districts in New York county, among tncm the Ninth where William s. Dew ery's candidates, Richard J. Butler, was elected The democrats also won two state senate districts in New York coun- ty-the Nineteenth and the Twenty-sec- cnd. The republicans lost nine assembly, I'm m
