HEARST is ONLY LOSER.
Rest of Fusion Ticket Appears to Be
Elected in New York.


New York.-Both parties are pre-
pairing to demand a recount of ballots.
Already tangled the situation offers
vast possibilities of infinite further
complications if the courts take in
hand the work of Strengthening out the
result of the election.
Applications will at once be made,
by the Republican campaign managers
in the supreme courts of all adjoining
counties for orders compelling the pro-
duction in court of all void and pro-
tested ballots. These number $4,000.
Chairman Connors of the Demo-
cratic state committee issued a call
for full committee meeting to de
wise means to protect the interests OF
the state tickets From kilograms /
have received" said Mr. Connors, 1T
is plain that the Republican machine
is resorting to it's old thieyish knavery
in order to beat our ticket. There is
absolutely no doubt that the returns
are being held back. We are going to
get an honest count of the vote.
The latest returns indicate the fol-

dates for state offices other than gov
ernOr:

The vote in Greater New York
shows that Hearst was slashed I'M
mercifully by the Democrats. He ran
so far behind the rest of his col
leagues on the Democratic ticket that
his defeat looms up all the larger. He
is $4,000 votes below the lowest man
on the Democratic ticket and 10000
votes below the highest
William r. Hearst has had little to
say since his defeat. He showed a
cheerful front to callers that went to
his home in Lexington avenue to con-
graduate him ION making a good
fight, anyway and put in several
hours reading kilograms from all
country to the same effect.
He has refused to follow Chairman
Ihmsen's loud cry of Fraud! and
"Robbery!" and stands pat on the
statement he issued, which conceded
defeat, and was virtually a promise
to abide by the result.
Hearst to Continue Fight.
At 2:15 Wednesday morning Mr..
Hearst made the following statement:
'In view of the result have only to
repeat what I said in my speeches.
am enlisted in this fight against the
control of the government by the
trusts and corrupt corporations, and
/ will fight it to the end.
"But | will serve In the lead or in
the ranks, just exactly as the people
desire, and as earnestly and Loyalty IN
one place as in the other. The people
have decided to retain the Republican
PARTY in power. l will make my fight
in the ranks, therefore, and as pri-
yate citizen do my best to promote
the interests of my fellow citizens"
Hearst Carries Brooklyn.
In Brooklyn, where Senator Patrick
H. McCarren made bitter fight
against Hearst, the latter carried the
borough by small plurality, probably
4 900. At one time it seemed that
Hughes had been successful in Brook
lyn, but the late returns We're all
strongly in favor of the Democratic
candidate.
State Senator Thomas F. 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.
