oDELL'S ELECTION CONCEDED.
It Was a Close Fight in New York,
But Republicans Carry the State
by About 10000.

New York, Nov. AT 8 o'clock to-
night Elliott Danforth, former chair
man of the Democratic committee, said
the returns indicated Coler would car
nv Greater New York by 100000. He
claimed Coler was elected governor by
10000. A statement from Republican
Headquarters said the returns indicated
Odell was gaining in upstate cities and
returns from the country districts,
which were coming in slowly, indicated
the election of Odell.
At congressional headquarters at 10
o'clock Congressman Overstreet OF In
diana, secretary of the Republican con-
gr%essional committee, said the big plu-
rality for Coler in Greater New York
had made it possible Democrats would
be elected by every n of the first
10 congressional districts in New
York. This would mean a net loss OF
four Republicans in the New York del
egation. Overstreet said there was some
chance of saving four of these nine
teen. The First district, in which Pres
ident Roosevelt lived, is now repre-
scented by a Republican. When Roose-
welt ran for governor the Republican
plurality in this district was 2,35l.
