Hearst Candidate for Lieutenant
Governor Has Lead OF
1,TOO.

NEW YORK. Nov. S.-With the official
vote of but three counties missing tonight
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler apparently is
elected lieutenant governor on the demo-
neutrality-suspicious. league ticket by plu-
rality of approximately LOO votes over
NJ. Linn Bruce, republican To arrive at
these figures Bruce's probable pluralities
in the counties OF Essex ontario and Nj
agara are based on the vote for the re-
publican gubernatorial candidate. Fulton
county is also missing excepting state
ment Of Bruces plurality over Chanler.
While slight changes may be made in the
returns from several counties, It is not be-
lieved they will materially reduce Chan
lers lead, but on .he contrary may in
crease it.
1t appears late tonight that all the other
candidates on the democratic state ticket
arc elected by small pluralties, ell Of which
will exceed Chanler's
The count in Queens county Is under in
vestigation by the Office Of the state at
torney general. The reason for it is un-
known
| Chairman woodruff of the state repub-
lican committee said:
II am neither claiming nor conceding
| anything. In the case of Bruce probably
the courts will have to pass on the void
! ballots, possibly as many as 1900"
| Very nearly fun returns from all coun-
ties OF the vote for governor gives Hughes
746,a34. Hearst 6Si722. Hughes plurality,
61,612
! Hughes plurality outside Of Greater New
York was 1898. IIearst's plurality in
Greater New York was 74,726
Democrats Charge Fraud.
Chairman Conners said this afternoon
L,II ,r.,I-
the returns; that fraud was being practiced
and that in his opinion there were enough
independence league ballots not counted to
reduce greatly Mr.. Hughes plurality and
possibly elect Mr.. Hearst
81 decided early today to call the demo-
cratic state committee together to protect
the interests of the state ticket" said
Chairman Connors. From kilograms have
received it is plain that the republican ma
chine is resorting to its old thievish knav-
cry in order to beat our ticket. There is
absolutely no doubt that the ticket is
elected with the exception Of Mr.. Hearst
There is also no doubt that the returns are
being held back There is no doubt that
Bruce is running behind Hughes up the
state. firmly believe that sufficient Inde-
pendence league votes have not been counted
in many counties to decrease greatly the
Pluralities of Hughes and possibly elect
Mr.. Hearst. We are going to get an honest
count of the vote and we are not only
going to protect the men making the can
vass next Tuesday, but we are going righ
to work now on the matter"
