A QlBpRpCn from New York under
date Of November saYs according tc
incomplete returns from all over the
State received up to 10 30 O'Clock to,
night, Charles E. Hughes, the Repub.
ncsn candidate, has been elected gov
ernor of the State over William Ran
dolph Hearst the nominee Of the Dem.
ocratic party and tho Independence
league, by Approximately q plurality
OF 100000. Two years ago Gov. Hig.
gins was elected on tine Repuhliosil
ticket by $4,000.
Thero WAS some doubt expressed to.
night at to the fate of the Democratic
and Independence league tickets out
side of MIR Hearst, several Of the
New York newspapers which have
beon supporting Mr.. Hughes, deoar
ing that there wss ohanoa that the
subordinate officers Of the Democratic
had been elected.
The latest figures seem to indicate
that Mr. Hughes plurality above tho
Bronx will exceed 116. 600. To Offset
this Mr.. Hesrsts plurality In Great.
or New York Will probably bo from
$4,000 to $4,000. In Brooklyn,
where Senator Patrick II. McCarfen
made bitter fight against Hearst,
the lattor carried the borough by q
small plurality, probably, 1000. At
one time 1t seemed that Hughes had
been successful In Brooklyn, but the
late returns v7ero Sll atronRly In favor
Of the Democratic candidate.
Mr.. Hearst hss been given major
ity of nearly 10, 900 In Manhattan and
the Bronx. @ ieens county, which In,
cludeB Long Island City, has gone for
Hearst by from 5000 to 5000 and
Richmond (Statcn I.land) has also
given the Democratic candidate q
plurality.
ALL GETS IN BUT HEARST.
With the lfIlcial vote Of but three
counties missing Thursday night,
Lewis StuyveSant Chanler apparently
iB elected lieutenant governor Of the
Democratic. Independ once league tick-
OF by q plurality approximating L.
700 votes over M. Linn Bruce, Re-
publican. TO arrive at these figures
Bruoe's probable pluralities in the
j. SSia.sfssti asss D. of z, Essex, OpbRrio and
Niagara are based on the Vote~for the
Republican gubernational Candidate.
Fulton county Is alao missing ex.
eepting statement Of Bruca's plural
lty over Oh&nler. While slight
changes may be made in the returns
from several cuuntles, Ii IA not be-.
lieved they will materially reduce
Ohanler's lead, but on the contrary
may increase It, Ii appears that
oil the other candidates on the
Democratic State ticket are elected
by small pluralities.
THINKS HEARST WILL WIN.
