New Ofk, NOV. l.-Wll1dH1 fodTHes,
Jr, of Albany, issued a formal state
ment this afternoon, claiming the cleo
tion of the entire republican state
ticket.
New York, Nov. 7.-Revised returns,
some Of them based on estimates, indi-
cate plurality of about $4,000 for
Hughes above Bronx. This would
make his plurality in the state about
60, 900.
New York. Nov. with incomplete
returns outside of Greater New York.
the result of yesterdays election In
New York state aside from the head Of
the ticket, are still in doubt today.
There is a possibility of the entire
democratic state ticket, aside from
governor, having been elected.
All the democratic state candidates
ran far ahead of Hearst in Greater
New York. Their pluralities here of
approximately 100000 over their repub-
lican opponents may have the effect Of
overcoming the republican lead in the
up state counties. These estimates,
however, necessarily are based upon
the full state vote for governor, and
depend entirely upon the estimate that
lesser candidates held with Hughes.
On the face OF the present returns,

er with a lead over Hearst of little
more than 10000. While this is suffi-
cient to give him a lead of considerably
more than $4,000 over Hearst. Hughes,
associates have far greater plurality
rolled up by the remainder of the ticket
to meet.
The closest contest undoubtedly will
be between Bruce, republican, and
Chanler, independence League and
democrat, for lieutenant governor.
Chanler's plurality in Greater New
York is about $4,000. Returns al
ready in show that in some upstate
counties Bruce ran ahead of his ticket
Even if Bruce had come down to
Bronx on an even footing with Hughes
the plurality of ChMler would have
been scant 5000. If re-
turns yet to come show the
republican candidate made gains
in other counties, this plurality
may be cut down. if not entirely wiped
out Next to lieutenant governor the
figures at hand show Whalen, demo-
cratic candidate for secretary Of state,
may come thru a winner by the closest
margin. AS more complete returns
began to come in by counties today it
was seen in some instances there was
a small but consistent lead by the les
ser republican candidates over the head
of their ticket. This fact served only
to increase uncertainty regarding the
result for offices below governor
Hearst apparently carried only two
counties in the state outside Greater
New York. These were Chemung and
SchOharie. 1t was in his home city,
however, that he encountered the bit
terest and most determined opposition
Kings county, of which Patrick H.
McCarren is the democratic leader, last
year gave Hearst for mayor a large
plurality, but yesterday McCarren ex-
plurality in his county. His instruc-
tions to his captains was to cut Hearst
and vote the remainder of the DEM
ocratic state ticket, while Hearst sue
ceeded in carrying the county by a
plurality of 1863. Returns for the re-
mainder of the state ticket show his
trouble with McCarren cost him dearly
The plurality of the county democratic
candidates who were not affected by
McCarren's order, exceeded that of the
head Of the ticket by more than 10000.
Had Hearst received these votes it
would have cut Hughes lead in the
state practically in half.
