Official Figures Give the Republicans a Safe
 Majority ODELL LEADS TICKET
 BY ABOUT l2,887
New York Will Send 20 Republicans and 1e Democrats to the Lower House of Con
 aress.

N EW YORK, November 5.-Offi- MI cial figures on the vote for gov
 ernor vary but little from the unofficial reports According to re- turns made to the executiap at Albany by the several county clef 5 the plural s,fs for Odell is 12ss7. Only three eoun- fhs above the Bronx were carried by the dSmocratic nominee, the aggregate piu- rality for Colef In these counties being plurality of 4 given to coler, was met and overd by an upstate repub- lican plurality 7 ,972 the difference being a net plt',ality of 12,ss7 against 111.126 plurality for odeI Tn 1900.
 Returns for the vote for other offices are so meager that 1t Is impossible to say if the democrats have been more success ful as regards the minor officers than in the case of governor. In some quarters 1t Is assumed that by reason of his en- dorsement by the prohibitionists Cunnen, the democratic nominee for attorney gem eral, has made such gains over the head of the ticket that he has been elected. There are also claims that when the re- turns for judge of the court of appeals are all in, 1t will he found that Judge Gray has defeated lis republican oppo- nent.
 The state legisla q Is controlled by the republicans bv reduced majority, but one large enou to admit of no doubt of the return or MT. Platt to the United States senate. The New York delegati' l in the lower house the Fifty-eit nth congress will number in- stead of N, as in the present congress. It will contain 20 republicans and 1T dem ocrats, whereas the present delegation stood 9 republicans and 12 democrats All of the more noted members of the delegation have been returned including Serene E. Payne, chairman of the ways and means committee.

 IN WASHINGTON
RETURNS FROM TRIP TO OYSTER BAY, WHERE HE WENT TO VOTE IN TUESDAYS ELEcTIoN-BAcK IN WHITE HOUSE.

Washington, November 5.-President Roosevelt returned to Washington at 7:2O o'clock tonight from Philadelphia, where he stopped On his way from voting at Oyster Bay Accompanying him were Mrs. Roosevelt and their two children, Archibald and Quentin, Secretaries Cor telyou and Loeb. pr. Lung and a number of the servants from the Sagamore Hill home. The President and his family were driven to the White House, where the Improvements were still incomplete, but have been advanced to such an extent as to give accommodations to meet the im- mediate demands of the household.
 The Presidents departure from Phila- delphia for Washington was delayed by the failure to arrive on time of Secre- tary Cortelyou and Mrs. Roosevelt, who had remained in New York city this morning after the President left, to await the coming of the children and servants from Oyster Bay to Philadelphia. At Philadelphia the two special cars assign ed to the use of the Presidents party were attached to the regular train leav- ing that city at 3:29 o'clock. It was filled with travellers as they lined up along the train shed as the Presidents party walk ed to their carriages and gave a cordial greeting to Mr. Roosevelt With the de- parture of the President and Mrs. Roose- welt and their children and servants from Oyster Bay and the Sagamore Hill home of the President has been closed for the winter.

CALIFORNIA.

San Francisco, November 5-"There is no doubt that majority of the people of California have cast their votes for me for governor" said Franklin K. Lane to the Associated Press tonight
 There have been several suspicious facts in connection with the count which leads me to believe that frauds have been committed. I have information that 1900 votes cast for me were thrown out in Alameda county; that 30 per cent of the democratic vote in San Bernardno was likewise thrown out and that the totals in Humboldt and Los Angeles counties were withheld in order to ascertain what number of ballots in the county would be necessary to overcome the majority that San Francisco would give the head of the democratic ticket.
 About 1 80 o'clock this morning heard from Alameda that the officials were withholding all returns until this city's vote was given. I chartered a tug boat and dispatched many union men, headed by MT. Copeland of the typographical un- ion, to investigate the situation. They visited many of the polling places and found discrepancies between the returns and the actual vote.
 Most assuredly there will be a con- test" concluded MT, Lane.
 
 returns from San Francisco and partial returns from all over the state, indicate that George c. Pardee. the republican nominee for governor, is elected by a ma jorlty of 200O or 3OO0 The plurality of 5000 given by San Francisco to F. K. Lane, the democratic nominee, has been almost wiped out by republican majorities in the interior counties. The republican vote for Pardee in Southern California is justifying the estimate of the republican campaign committee and has undoubtedly elected Pardee.
 Complete returns from 1185 precincts out of 2277 in the state, outside of San Fran cisco give Pardee @. 46O, Lane 60, ,637. The complete vote in San Francisco stoou Pardee 24129. Lane 33.6S7. The legislature which will choose a United States senator is largely republican on joint ballot
 The republicans have lost two congress- men, Kahn in the fourth and Loud in the fifth district. The first and second dis tricts are still undevided with a demo- cratic leading. The delegation now stands: Republicans 4. democrats and un- ion labor ?, doubtful g. Returns from 15S out of $50 precincts in the first con gressional district give Gillett, republican, 33S0; Ford, democrat, 5012.
 Complete returns from 172 out of 420 precincts in the second congressional dis trict gives Combes, republican, 1894; Bell, democrat S635.
 Complete returns from 1505 precincts out of 2277 in California, outside of San Fran cisco, give Pardee, republican, SS.4T; Lane. democrat. 7S,14S.

RESUME TESTIMONY
 IN MOLINEAUX CASE
handwriting Experts Give Testimony Favorable to Defendant and Crowd
 Applauds-Mrs. Stevenson There.

New York, November 5.-The trial of Roland B. Molineux, which was ad- journed on Saturday. was resumed to- day, the whole session being devoted to the testimony and cross-examination or experts in handwriting.
 Dr. Marshall D. Elwell, who was under examination when court adjourned, re- sumed the stand. His statement that certain peculiarities of Molineux's hand writing, on which the prosecution laid stress common to 50 per cent of all writ ing, was greeted with applause. which was quickly suppressed. Dr. Elwell was succeeded by Warren A. Drake, an ex- pert from Chicago. who testified that there were too many points of difference in the disputed writings to warrant the belief that they were all by the same hand.
 Mrs. Stevenson, the woman who is re- ported to have made an affidavit that she saw the poisoned package mailed by man who was not molineux, was in court under subpoena by the defense. It is doubtful, however, wliSther she will be called on to testify.
 David N. Carvalho, another expert, was on the stand when court adjourned until tomorrow.

 Adams, democrat, for congressman-at- large, Is thought to lead the state ticket and may be elected, but the chances seem to favor the election of Brooks reepubli- can.
 On the face of the returns, the demo- crats will have a majority in the legls- 1ature, but there are charges of fraud in this (Arapahoe) and other counties, and contests will be filed, which if success full may defeat the reelection of Sena- tor H. M. Teller.
 The Times says:
 The republicans are preparing to con- test the election of the democratic leg isative ticket in Arapahoe county. They say the control of the lower house of the legislature depends upon the results In this county. They will ask the secretary of state to refuse certificates to the demo- crats and if MT. Mills, who Is a populist, refuses to entertain the scheme, they are planning to organize a trump legislature. Edward o. Wolcott is already informed of the situation and will come to Denver to enter the race against Teller.
