New York, Nov. 7.-According to
incomplete returns from all over the
state, Charles r. Hughes, the RepuD-
lican candidate, has been elected gov
ernor OF New York over William Kan.
dolph Hearst by approximately u
plurality OF $4,000.
Outside OF Greater New York, with
lG0 election districts missing, Hughes
had a plurality OF about $4,000. In
Greater New York, with 90 election
districts missing, Hearst had pm-
rality of 1906.
No definite figures are yet available
as 10 the results with regard to the
subordinate state officers and both
Democrats and Republicans are claim.
ing victories from lieutenant gov.
ernor down.
AS was generally expected, Mr..
Hearst showed his greatest strength
in the cities through the state and
took out of the Republican column a
number of the more important munic.
qualities which heretofore have been
gave Hearst plurality were Buffalo,
Rochester, Utica, Troy, Elmira Rome,
Little Falls and jamestown. All of
these, except Rome and Utica, were
Republican two years ago. MrHughes
did not gain single city. The Re.
publican ticket was successful, but
sustained serious losses In Syracuse,
Gloversville, Amsterdam, Ithaca, Sche-
nectady, WATERFOWL and Plattsburg.
State Senator Thomas +. Grady OF
Tammany Hall has been reelected
over Thomas Rock, who has been
known in the campaign as Eight.
Hour" Rock, and who claimed he had
been "tricked" by the independence
league.
There were many odd turns to the
balloting. Here in New York, it was
Richmond borough that defeated Mr..
Hearst for mayor year ago and it
was Brooklyn, with big plurality,
which helped him to make the race
so dose. Mr.. Hearst barely carried
Brooklyn yesterday, but ran ahead in
Richmond. In Schenectady, one of the
best organized labor cities in the Unit.
ed States, it was expected Mr.. Hearst
would have a substantial plurality.
The Republican ticket was successful
by 374 votes, as against a Higgins
plurality OF 1921 two years ago.
Election Night Crowds.
New York turned out its myriads
Of people last night for the usual cleo.
ton night revel. All the pent-up en-.
thusiasm of an unprecedented state
campaign was vented in frenzy OF
noise. Broadway from Forty-second
to Fourteenth street and along Park
Row, from the Brooklyn bridge TO the
end OF newspaper row." was one
mass of shouting, showing people. OF
noise, there was every variety it was
possible to create with the use of a
good pair of lungs and a tin horn, a
COW bell or other devices. 1t was q
boisterous crowd, but good natured.
Beginning at Times square, at Forty
second street, Broadway was lInpassa-
BILE to everything except pedestrians
as far down town as Twenty-third
street. The greatest brushes were
around Times square, Herald, Madison
square and Park Row. At these
places, as well as several other points,
bulletins were flashed upon screens
and everybody cheered impartially.
Around Herald square the jam was
terrific. Street cars could not get
through and only by getting in the
currents that surged up and down
Broadway was it possible for pedes-
TRAN to make progress.
