ernor In the face Of Republican claims
for an easy victory there has not been
such an oyerturning Of votes from the
Republican TO the Democratic party In
this state as that which occurred yes
terday With the exception Of Erie, AL
bany and Rensselaer, counties every
Democratic prediction Of sweeping ma
jorites was carried out and amplded.
Especially was this true below the
Bronx. The claims Of 10000 for the
Greater New York district were more
than verified, but the claims for Erie,
Albany and Rensselaer, were not re-
sponded 20 and the failure to realize
Democratic hopes In these counties re-
moved all chance Of Coler's election
The figures, In total and detail, are
extremely interesting. With reglstra-
ton per cent below that Of two years
ago, the Democratic party IN the Great
er New York district showed gain in
voting power In majority OF the coun-
ties OF over 40 per cent and this tre-
mendous gain was met and defeat for
the Republicans averted by the quite
remarkable fact that several 90 the
Republican upstate counties gave
Odell larger pluralities than In 1900
while several others equaled their
plurallties Of that presidential year
over It's combined vote in the state two
years ago, the Democratic party gain
ed at least IS per cent and the Repub-
llcan party lost 40 per cent. From a
plurality OF 10000 Odell drops to below
10000, n loss Of over 1000
ON the face OF the rtturns early to-
day, while Judge Werner, the Repub-
lican candidate for judge Of the court
of appeals, had run ahead OF his ticket
In many OF the counties up the state,
the fact that Judge Gray. the Demo-
cratic nominee. ran $4,000 ahead OF his
ticket IN New York City, would seem
10 indicate the latter's election, but II
may take the official canvass TO decide
the matter. In the case of Mr.. COwan,
the Republican nominee for attorney
general, almost the same condition pre-
walls, II not being possible 10 determine
as yet whether the prohibition ballots
upon which the name OF John Cuneen,
the Democratic nominee was printed

While the Democrats have gained
three and POSSIBLY four members In the
senate and about 10 In the assembly.
the Legislature Is safely Republican, en-
surfing the election Of a Republican to
succeed United States Senator Plat.
DON'T CoNCEDE oDELLs ELECT
TON.
New York, Nov. 5.--Although the un-
official reports for the state showed
Odell's election by about 10000 plurality.
Mr.. COleE his Democratic opponent, re-
fused today to concede defeat, declar-
ing that he wished TO wait for the off,
cial count. A statement by Mr.. Coler
which indicated that he was not salts
fed with the returns as received so
far,w as followed by n rather sensa-
tional announcement from secy. Mason
OF the Democratic state committee.
About the time these statements APP
peared a rumor was circulated that
'oler intended 10 make a contest In
the courts and simultaneously the
Evening journal issued an extra edi-
ton declaring that former Senator
Hill, Charles f. Murphy and Hugh Nc
Laughlln claimed Coler's election.
