UP STATE
SAVES HUGHES

has been elected governor of New York
over William Randolph Hearst, the
nominee of the democratic party and
the Independence league, by approy-
| imately 10000. Two years ago Govern
or Higgins was elected on the repub-
lican ticket by $4,000.
There was some doubt expressed as
to Me fate of the democratic and In
dependence league tickets outside of
Mr. Hearst, several of the New York
newspapers which have been sup
porting Mr.. Hughes declaring that
there was a chance for the subordinate
officers of the democratic and indie
pendence league combination having
been elected.
The latest figures seem to indicate
that Mr.. Hughes plurality above the
Bronx Will exceed 1000
To offset this Mr.. Hearst's plurality
in Greater New York will probably be
from $1,000 to $4,000.
In Brooklyn, where Senator Patrick
McCarren led bitter fight against
Mr.. Hearst, the latter carried the Dor
ough by a small plurality, probably
1000. AT one time it seemed that
Hughes had been successful in Brook
Ign, but the late returns We're all very
strongly in favor of the democratic
candidate. Mr.. Hearst has been given
majority of nearly 10000 in Man
haitian and the Bronx. Queens coun-
ty, which includes the island, has gone
for Hearst by from 5000 to 5000, and
Richmond Island has also given the
npr 10 con nd 70 MI,
AS was generally expected Hearst
showed his greatest strength In the
cities throughout the state and took
out Of the republican column a num-
Der of the more important municipal
tiles which heretofore have been re-
publican.
Among the cities which gave Hearst
plurality were Buffalo, Rochester
Utica. Troy, Elmira, Rome, Little
Falls and Johnstown. All these ex-
cept Utica and Rome were republican
two years ago.
Mr.. Hughes did not gain single
city. The republican ticket was sue
cessful. but sustained various losses
in Gloversdale. Amsterdam, Ithaca.
Schenectady. Watertown and Platts-
burg.
AS result Of the scratching and the
voting for the same candidates under
different party emblems, the returns
for the subordinate offices on the var
ious tickets were SO complicated as to
not be available tonight.
i Great interest conferred here in New
York in the campaign waged for the
judicial ticket named by a committee
OF lawyers headed by Joseph H.
Choate and former Judge Alton B.
Parker.
league joint ticket has won over the
non-partisan candidates by big plur-
alities. State Senator Thomas F.
Grady. OF Tammany Hall, has been re-
elected over Thos. Rock, who has been
known in the campaign as Eight hour"
Rock and who claimed he had been
''tricked" by the Independence league.
Throughout the state there was q fall
ing off from the vote of 1904, which
was presidential year. The republic
can ticket showed the greatest loss in
this respect, especially in the cities
In claiming the election of Mr..
II y,
Republican State Chairman Woodruff
said:
Il knew all along we had lost the
labor vote. Every possible thing was
done to recover 1t, but think without
avail"
Mr.. Hughes said:
Il am very much gratified II am
elected, as now seems to be the case.
Whatever my plurality may be, my
feeling is not of elation but of re-
sponsibility."
Neither Max F. Ihmsen, chairman OF
the Independence league; w. J. Con-
nors. chairman OF the democratic state
committee. nor Mr.. Hearst was willing
TO admit defeat at late hour tonight.
There were many odd turns to the
baiioting. Here in New York it was
Richmond that defeated Mr.. Hearst for
mayor a year ago. and 1t was Brook
Ign. with its plurality. which helped
him to make the race so close. Mr..
Hearst barely carried Brooklyn today.
but ran ahead in Richmond.
In schenectady, one of the best or
gantzed labor cities in the United
states. 1t was expected Mr.. Hearst
would have a substantial majority.
The republican ticket was successful
by s74 votes, against a Higgins plural
ity of 1921 two years ago.
While both the senate and assem-
bly, will be strongly republican,; tho
democrats are claiming that they have
made gains. The complexion OF the
New York congressional delegation, 1t
Is believed. will show slight changes.
November 7.-According to- returns
received up to an early hour this mirn-
ing hughes has been elected by 5o0OO
or more plurality. Outside of Greater
New York. with 160 election districts
