NEW YORK, Nov. An spite OF phe-
nomenally large votes in New York and
Kings county for Bird s. Coler (dem) the
returns up TO late hour indicate the re-
election Of Benjamin j. Odell (rep.) to the
governorship of New York state by from
5000 to 1900. Coler's plurality in G, eater
New York exceeded $4,000, a surplus Of
1900 above the claim made by Charles F.
Murphy, leader Of Tammany hall. but even
that large vote was not sufficient to over
come the republican majorities from up
the state.
Odells vote in the country districts was
lighter than two years ago. but Coler's was
also lower than Stanchheld's. In New York
city Coler's plurality was approximately
117,5O0, made up as follows: New York

Little Excitement Noted NJ Returns Of
Election Were Made
Public.

II was only a raw wind that made cleo
ton night disagreeable, but the crowd on
the streets was not abnormal nor particu-
larly demonstrative In fact. considering
how repeatedly the district has been as
sured that the retirement Of David Henry
Mercer would be a great and eternal ca
lamity, the people seemed to bear up with
remarkable fortitude when his defeat be-
came generally conceded.
Bulletins favorable to Mickey we're
cheered, and so we're those favorable TO
Thompson, but the one kind followed the
other in such constant succession that the
crowd soon realized that definite results
would not be forthcoming before the morn
ing, and the midnight cars carried home
all but the Hitchcock celebrants and the
young man who likes to stay Up just for the
novelty of the thing.
The republican county headquarters were
crowded all evening, as special reports by
telegraph and telephone were being re-
ceived there. Special reports were being
received at the state fusion headquarters
at the Dellone, but the crowd there was
only a bakers dozen or two and news
meager. Cliff Cole had installed a special
telegraphic service and was making up his
bets from the bulletins received.
The Jacksonian club and County Democ-
racy quarters were comfortably filled but
there was nothing doing" as one Of them
had tried the special returns service in
years gone by and quit S37 loser by the
deal.
The Mercer organ, which at 4 o'clock had
declared Mercer elected, distinguished itself
by a punctilious flop FIVE hours later and
conceded that 'it looked like Hitchcock"
During the evening there were manv
whose hats were on one side and probably
won't at at all this morning, but there was
no exchange OF physical discourtesies.
Neither had there been any arrests during
the day. The railroad oolonizers sent two
men to East Omaha as "feelers." but when
they found four sheriff's deputies there and
were put through cross-examination that
unearthed their history back to the fourth
generation of ancestry they carried back
to the grading camps report that resulted
in no more attempts being made.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ALTHOUGH the
returns from the doubtful congressional
districts were slow in arriving the indi-
cations at midnight were that the repub-
Icans would control the next house of rep
resentatives by narrow margin. In the
present house, with a membership of 357
the republicans have forty-eight majority
Under the new apportionment the Fifty
eighth house will consist OF 1856 members
a majority of which is 1914 The thirteen
southern states, not counting West vir-
ginia, but including Missouri have 125 rep
resentatives. The democrats have carried
l16 of these districts and the republicans
probably FIVE, two in Tennessee, one in
Kentucky and two in Missouri, with two
in North Carolina and one in Virginia. To
obtain a majority in the next house it was
necessary, therefore, for the democrats to
secure seventy-eight votes in the north and
west. In this territory they have at pres
ent ffty-two representatives. The latest
returns indicate that this strength has
been held with the exception of one seat
each from Idaho. Montana and Nevada, as
to which the returns at this hour are in
conclusive. Adding 4s to l16 gives the
democrats 165.
The democrats show they have made a
braska. one in Delaware, one in wiseon-
sin, two in Maryland, one in Colorado and
probably four in New York, swelling the
total 10 17S. This leaves them sixteen
short OF a majority with the result in four
doubtful southern districts TO be heard
from and doubtful districts in the north
and west from which the returns are as
as yet inadequate. as follows: West Vir-
ginia, ?; Ohio. /; Indiana, 2; Illinois, .:
Iowa, /; Nebraska, /; Kansas. /; Minnc-
sofa, ?; Michigan. l; California, 2, and
Utah, /, a total OF 2l.
Returns at l o'clock add one democrat
in New Jersey, one in Minnesota, one in
Illinois, one in Alabama and two In North
Carolina. a total OF six. But two of the
gains credited to the democrats in Penn
sylvania should properly be set down as
fusion republicans, making the democrats
actually elected 1S4, with the doubtful dis
tricts in Minnesota having gone demo-
cratic. the one in Kansas republican, Kan
sas having gone solidly republican and the
one in Iowa republican. Three of the four
doubtful southern districts went demo-
cratic.
