MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, Nov. 7.-lSpe-
cial. l-Charles E. Hughes, Republican
candidate, was elected governor Of New
York over William Randolph Hearst by
a majority Of 10000. Hearst. carried
New York city by $4,000, but the up
state districts stood by their ole time po-
litical belief and this, coupled with the
effect of President Roosevelts message
to the voters of the state, delivered
through Elihu Root, his secretary of
state, which drove many waverers into
line, won the day for Hughes.
One Democrat Goes In.
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler of Duchess
county, the Democratic candidate for
lieutenant governor, has undoubtedly de-
feated NJ. Linn Bruce of New York for
the lieutenant governorship. The bal
ance Of the Republican ticket seems to
be safe, but with small pluralities, and
the official returns may change all this.
Congress is Republican.
The result of the elections in forty
two states and three territories indicate
some surprises, but no great general
changes up to the present time. Great
est interest, of course, centered i'll the

Representatives, who will compose the
lower branch of the Sixtieth Congress.

jority of ia i'll the last House will be
reduced one-third, but they will still
have enough members to put through
such legislation as they may desire.

ing their candidates in most OF the big
counties.

New England remains solidly Repub-
lican. New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode
Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut

publican legislative bodies. In Massa-
chusetts District Attorney Moran Of

chance to duplicate w. l.. Douglas per-
Torrance of two years ago, but failed
lamentably. and Guild, the Republican,
is elected by substantial Increase over
his vote two years ago.
