HUGHES WINS IN N[W YORK
HIS PLURALITY IN EMPIRE STATE
is ABOUT $1,000.
REST OF TICKET STILL IN DOUBT

Hearst Carries Greater New York,
Buffalo, Rochester, Utica, Troy, Ell
mira and Some other Cities-Re-
publicans Gain in Rural Districts.
New York, Nov. 7.-According to
incomplete returns from all over the
state, Charles E. Hughes, the Repub-
lican candidate, has been elected gov
ernor of New York over William Ran
dolph Hearst by approximately 4
plurality of $4,000.
Outside of Greater New York, with
160 election districts missing, Hughes
had plurality of about 124,000. In
Greater New York, with So election
districts missing, Hearst had a plu-
rality of 1906.
No definite figures are yet available
as to 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 q
number Of the more important munic-
ipalities which heretofore have been
Republican. Among the cities which
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. Mr.Hughes
did not gain a single city. The Re-
publican ticket was successful, but
sustained serious losses In Syracuse,
Gloversville, Amsterdam, Ithaca, Sche-
nectady, Watertown and Plattsburg.
State Senator Thomas f. Grady of
Tammany Hall has been reelected
over Thomas Rock, who has been
known in the camr gn 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 1t
was Brooklyn, with a big plurality,
which helped him to make the race
SO close. 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

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 it's myriads
Of people last night for the usual elec-
tion 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 a
boisterous crowd, but good natured
Beginning at Times square, at Forty
| second street, Broadway was nnpassa-
| BILE to everything except pedestrians
| as far down town as Twenty-third
| street. The greatest crushes 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 a pedes-
| trian to make progress.
