Majority.

New York. Nov. S,-Theodore Roose-
velt's plurality in this, his native
State, is second only to McKinley's
$4,000 in 1896, 1t exceeds McKtn-
ley's in 1900 by about 1900. The late
returns show that there were cast for
him in New York State about 1856 600
votes more than for Parker. Not only
was his vote heavy in the country dis
tricts, where the Republican strong
holds are, but in Greater New York,
he ran much closer to Parker than
had been expected. even by his own
campaign managers. 1t had been es-
timated that he would come down to
the Bronx with better than 100000
plurality. but the figures tonight
showed that this forecast would be
exceeded by approximately $4,000. In
the city Parker's supporters had cx-
pressed hopes that their candidate
would have from 100000 to 10000
more than Roosevelt. but in this they
were disappointed by more than 100,,
600 votes. So overwhelming was the
Republican vote that the result was
known positively early in the even
ing. The earliest counties to report
made it clear that the Parker vote
everywhere fell below Bryan's in prac-
tically all the upstate districts. In
Greater New York Parker's plurality
was from 1900 to $4,000 larger than
Bryan's, but in the State, according to
the late reports, his total vote fell 49,
900 short of Bryan's.
