LARGER Plurality Than in 1902.

from the state and city lndlcaCe Cha(
Roosevelt has carried the state by
plurality larger than McKinley's four
years ago, which was 143, 606. The sur
prise of the early returns was the
heavy Roosevelt vote in Kings county,
Brooklyn $50 out of $40 election dis
tricts indicating that Roosevelt had
carried the county. From upstate the
first bulletins made it appear that
ROosevelt's plurality above the Bronx
would be about 100000 or 100000.
Increase Over Vote in 1902.
New York-Seven hundred and six
ty-seven districts out of 1924 in the
state outside of the city give Roose-
welt 1S8,505; Parker 122,358. The
same in 1900 gave Mckinley 171,6SS;
Bryan 126,S23.
Five hundred and eighty-fve election
districts out of 1850 in the city give
Roosevelt 103,215; Parker 114,535.
Eagle Gives 1t Up.

democratic newspaper, announced at

ernor of New York.
Tammany Surprised at Results.
New York, Nov. 9.-Charles F. Muir
ply, Tammany leader, said last night:
"Of course l am very much surprised
at the result I do not attempt to ac-
count for it. Whatever may have
been the cause. it will develop and the
party can then deal with it. / sincere
ly regret the defeat of Parker. He was
in all respects a worthy candidate. AS
much can be said for Judge Herrick
and his associates on the state ticket.
They undoubtedly were the choice OF
the democracy and their defeat is to
be regarded more for the sake of the
country and party than for the candt-
dates individuality

Kingston. N Y.-The third district
in the ninth ward, in which Parker

had II.
A Great Claim.
New York-William Barnes, Jr.,
chairman of the republican committee,
wired Roosevelt: "Your plurality in
New York state will exceed 100000.
Higgins is elected governor by over
100000"
Every Doubtful State.
New York-It is conceded at nation
al democratic headquarters that Roose-
welt has carried every doubtful state
in the country.
Heavy Republican Gains.
New York Nov. 9.-8:45 p. m.-The
latest figures from New York state
and the city indicate Roosevelt's plu-
rality above the Bronx at 265,00G and
Parker's below the Bronx at $4,000,
giving the state to Roosevelt by 228,
900. Returns from about one-third OF
the state above the Bronx show
Roosevelt's vote to be $1,000 heavier
than McKinley's and Parker's 1000
smaller than Bryan's. For governor,
Higgins apparently has about $4,000.
The legislature is undoubtedly over
whelmingly republican, assuring the
election of a republican to succeed
Senator Chauncey M. Depew.
Change in Heavy Plurality.
New York, Nov. 80 p. m.-Later
returns from up the state showed little
change in the heavy Roosevelt plural
ity. With little more than half the
districts heard from Roosevelt was
123,800 ahead of Parker. In these dis
tricts Roosevelt's vote was 20,400
more than McKinley's in 1900, and
Parker's 10000 less than Bryan's.
Littauer Goes Back.
In the 25th congressional district
Littauer, rep, is elected. His case is
interesting from the fact that Lift
auer was involved in a glove contract
with the government.
