Except Hearst For Governor
May Be Elected.
cHANLER MAY DUST BRUCE

Democratic Independence League Can
didate For Lieutenant Governor May
Accompany Hughes to Albany-Otner
Offices In Questicn-Hearst Ran Be-
hind In Greater New York.
New York, Nov. Sat late hour
much doubt existed as to who is elect
ed lieutenant governor of New York.
Several counties had not reported the
official count, but on the face of the
figures in hand the result seemed to
favor Lewis Stpyvesant Chanler. on
the Democratic and Independence
league tickets.
Whatever the result may be, the fig
ures will. be close, and until complete
otflc-si returns shall have been made
by all the counties now missing it will
at the winner
1t appears that outside of the candi-
dates for governor and possibly for
lieutenant governor the Democratic
ucket is elected Mr.. Hughes plurali-
ty in the state is about $1,000.
AT Republican state headquarters it
was stated that while the committee
was not prepared to make any official
statement their estimate on incomplete
returns is that NJ Linn Bruce had been
elected lieutenant governor by a plu-
rality of about 5000 votes and that Ju-
Illus NJ Mayer has been elected attor-
ney general, but by very narrow
is h% hos ,S,1
der of the Republican ticket has been
defeated, but this is not conceded as
yet
chanIer's Lead In City.
In Greater New York Chanler's ma
Jority over Bruce is 134 ,943 and this big
lead Bruce must overcome in the up
state counties. Among the missing
counties is Wess chester, which gave
Hughes 5000 plurality.
At Republican state headquarters
Chairman Woodruff said: "On looking
over returns from some forty odd coun-
ties we find that Mr. Bruce has run
ahead of Mr.. Hughes by 600 votes, and
believe he is elected. AT the present
time ! do not care to give any opinion
regarding the rest of the ticket"
The Independence leas ) headquar-
ters claim that their whole ticket, with
the exception of Mr.. Hughes for gov
ernor, has been elected At Democrat
ic state headquarters no predictions or
estimates were made. 1t was declared
that in many election districts in the
upper counties the votes for Mr.. Hearst
under the league emblem were not
counted
Hearst Ran Behind Ticket
The full official returns of the vote
in the city of New York for the state
ticket shows that William Randolph
Hearst ran about $4,000 behind his as
sociates on the ticket.
Here are the pluralities pQlled by
the Democratic candidates on the state
ticket IN New York city:
Lewis Stuy sasant yhanler, for lieu
tenant govern D., 134,943.
William S. Jackson, for attorney
general, 141, 446.
Frederick Skene. for state engineer
and surveyor, IA, ,1SS.
John s. Whalen, for secretary of
state, 139,917.
Martin H. Glynn, for comptroller,
141 ,466.
Julius Hauser, for state treasurer,
142, 1899.
Mr.. Hearst was cut in every borough
in the city, the knihng of him person
ally not being confined to Kings coun-
ty. He ran several thousand behind
Chanler and his other associates on
the ticket in New York county as well
as in Brooklyn, where Senator Patrick
Fl. McCarren and his organization
openly had their knives out for him.
In Queens, too, there was a big gap
between his vote and that of the other
candidates on the ticket.
Republican Ticket m Peril.
There is not county in the state in
which Chanler and his associates do
not lead Mr.. Hearst, and it would not
be improbable if the majority over
Bruce should reach $4,000. The re-
turns on the vote below Hearst on
the Democratic ticket were slow in
coming in last night, but from Chau-
tauqua, Cortland, Delaware, Erie and
Greene they indicated that the Re
publican state ticket would average Z
per cent behind Mr.. Hughes, which
would defeat everybody else on the
Republican ballot.
On Long Island every man on the
ticket with Mr.. Hughes ran from 1000
to 5000 behind him. In Onondaga
there was difference OF more than
1000 between Hughes and the nonai-
nee for lieutenant governor on the
same ticket In Schuyler, Bruce ran
behind Hughes. In Putnam there was
gain of 10 per cent for the Demo
cratic candidate. In Oswego there was
gain Of s per cent.
Hughes Message to State.
In a message to the people Of New
York as he was leaving this city for a
short stay in the Adirondacks, Gov
crnor Elect Charles e. Hughes renew
ed the pledge he made in the campaign
to devote himself sunreservedly and to
the full extent Of his power to the just
administration Of the state govern
ment. Referring to his election, he
said:
It is a victory for sobriety and for
