HUGHES IN new YORK
Is Elected Governor over William
R. Hearst.
PLURALITY is OVER $4,000


York, With 10000 Plurality, While
Hearst Carried Metropolis BY 1900.
Balance of State Ticket In Doubt.
New York, Nov. 8. Charles e.
Hughes. the Republican candidate for
governor. has been elected over Will
liam r. Hearst, D., by majority OF
$4,000, but the remainder Of the state
ticket is in doubt
At Republican state headquarters it
was stated that while the committee
was not prepared to make any official
statement, their estimate on incom-
to CHARLES 4. HUGHES.
plete returns is that M. Linn Bruce
had been elected lieutenant governor
by plurality of about 5000 votes, and
| that Julius M. Mayer has been elected
attorney general, but by a very mar
row margin. 1t is thought that the re-
mainder of the Republican ticket was
defeated, but this is not conceded as
yet.
For lieutenant governor Louis Stuy-
vesant Chanler, Damocratic-Ind epend-
ence League candidate, has lead in
the city of Greater New York of 1884,
941. Up state M. Linn Bruce, Republic
can candidate for lieutenant governor,
is running slightly ahead of Hughes
vote. AS Mr.. Hughes came down to
Greater New York with lead of ap-
proximately 129, 900, it will readily be
seen that the vote for second place on
the ticket will be very close, and only
the complete official count will deter
mine the successful candidate.
Whatever the result may be, the fig
ures will be close, and until complete
Official returns shall have been made
by all the counties now missing it viii
be impossible to do more than to guess
at the winner. The total vote for the
state, so far as returned, including
the Democratic stronghold of the city
Of Greater New York, for lieutenant
governor, is: CHAMBER 604,234; Bruce,
SIS, 479
1t appears that outside of the candi-
dates for governor, and possibly for
lieutenant governor, the Democratic
ticket is elected.
The indications are that the state
legislature will show but little change
in its political makeup.

Hearst Makes Statement.
Mr.. Hearst made the following state
ment:
I'm view of the result, have only to
repeat what have said in my speeches.
am enlisted in this fight against the
control of the government by the trusts
and corrupt corporations and I will
fight 1t to the end.
ssBut / will serve in the lead or in
the ranks Just exactly as the people
desire, and earnestly and Loyalty in
one place as in the other. The people
have decided to retain the Republican
party in power. I will make my fight
in the ranks, therefore, and as pri-
waite citizen do my best to promote the
interests of my fellow citizens"
In Brooklyn, where Senator Patrick
H. McCarren made bitter fight
against Hearst, the latter carried the
borough by a small plurality, 1000. At
one time it seemed that Hughes had
been successful in Brooklyn, but the
late returns were all strongly in favor
of che Democratic candidate.
hiearst's Greatest Strength In Cities.
AS was generally expected, Mr..
Hearst showed his greatest strength
in the cities throughout the state and
took out of the Republican column a
number of the more important munich
palities which heretofore have been
Republican Among the cities which
gave Hearst plurality were Buffalo,
Rochester, Utica, Troy, Elmira, Rome,
Little Falls and Johnstown. All OF
these, except Utica and Rome. were
Republican two years ago. Mr.. Hughes
did not gain a single city. The Repub-
lican ticket was successful, but sus-
tanned serious losses in Syracuse.
Gloversville, Amsterdam. ithaca, Sche-
nectady, WATERFOWL and Plattsburg.
Great interest centered here in New
York in the campaign waged for the
judiciary ticket named by commit
tee of lawyers. headed by Joseph H.
Choate and former Judge Alton B.
Parker. The Tammany and Independ-
ence League joint ticket won over the
non-partisan candidates by big plu
ralities.
Throughout the state there has been
a notable falling off in the vote from
1904, which was presidential year.
The Republican ticket showed the
greatest loss in this respect. espe-
cially in the cities.
There were many odd turns to the
balloting Here In New York it was
