NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-According to in /
complete returns from all over the state, |
received up TO 1890 p. m, Charles f. |
Hughes. the republican candidate, has been |
elected governor OF New York state over
William Randolph Hearst, the nominee Of
the democratic party and the Independence
league, by approximately a plurality of
5000. Two years ago Governor Higgins was
elected on the republican ticket by S056O.
There was some doubt expressed tonight
as to the fate Of the democratic and Inde-
pendence league tickets outside Of NJ.
Hearst, several Of the New York news
papers which have been supporting Mr..
Hughes declaring that there was chance
that the subordinate officers of the demo-
cratic and Independence league combination
had been elected
The latest figures seem to indicate that
Mr.. Hughes plurality above the Bronx will
exceed 1160OO~
TO offset this. Mr.. Hearst's plurality in
Greater New York will probably be from
5000 to 5000.
In Brooklyn, where Senator Patrick II.
McCarren made a bitter fight against
Hearst. the latter carried the borough by a
small majority probably 1900. At one time
it seemed that Hughes had been successful
in Brooklyn, but the late returns were all
strong in favor OF the democratic candi-
date Mr.. Hearst has been given ma
jority OF nearly 7O,0oO in Manhattan and the
Bronx. Queens county, which includes
Long Island City, has gone for Hearst by
from COCO to 5000, and Richmond, Staten
Island, has also given the democratic can
ddate a plurality.
Hearst Carries Upstate cities.
AS was generally expected Mn. Hearst
showed his greatest strength in the cities
through the state and took out of the re-
publican column number Of the more i'm
portant municipalities which heretofore
have been republican Among the cities
which gave Hearst plurality we're Buffalo,
Rochester, Utica, Troy, Elmiras Rome,
Little Falls and Johnstown-
All OF these except Utica and Rome were
republican two years ago. Mr.. Hughes did
not gain single city. The republican
ticket was successful, but sustained serious
losses In Syracuse. Gloversville, Amester-
dam, Ithaca, Schenectady, Watertown and
Plattsburg.
As result OF the scratching ana the
voting for the same candidates under diff
ferent party emblems, the returns for the
subordinate officers on the various state
tickets are so complicated as not to be
available tonight.
Great interest centers here In New York
in the campaign waged for the judiciary
ticket named by a committee Of lawyers,
headed by Joseph II. ChOate and former
Judge Alton b. Parker.
The Tammany and Independence league
joint ticket has won over the non-partizan
candidates by big pluralities.
state Senator Thomas +, Grady OF Tam
many han has been reelected over Thomas
Rock. who has been known in the cam
paign as "Eight-hour"' Rock and who
claimed he had been "tricked" by the In
dependence league. Throughout the state
there has been a notable falling on in the
vote from 1904. which was a presidential
year The republican ticket showed the
greatest loss In this respect, especially in
the cities.
statement by Republicans
In claiming the election Of MIR. Hughes
tonight by a large plurality Republican
State Chairman Woodruff said:
knew all along, We had lost, the labor
cover it, but 1 think without avail.
MIR, Hughes said:
l very gTatihed II l am elected, as
now seems to be the case. Whatever my
plurality may be my feeling is not OF Ella
ton but OF responsibility.
Neither Max Il. Ihmsen, chairman OF the
Independence league, W. ]. ConnOrs, chair
man OF the democratic committee, nor Mr..
Hearst were willing 10 admit that they
had been defeated at a late hour tonight.
There were many odd turns to the bal
loting. Here I'm New York II was Rich
mond borough that defeated Mr. Hearst
for mayor year ago, and Il was Brook
lyn. with bis plurality, which helped him
40 make the race so close. Mr.. Hearst
barely carried Brooklyn today but ran
ahead IA Richmond.
In Schenectady. one OF the best or
ganized labor cities in the United States II
was expected Mr.. Hearst would have a
substantial plurality. The republican
ticket was successful by sIi votes as
against Higgins plurality OF 1,6u two
years ago.
While both the state senate and assem-
bly, win be strongly republican, the demo-
crats are claiming that they have made
gains. The complexion Of the New York
congressional delegation IL Is believed, will
undergo but slight change II any.
Election Might aeveI.
New York turned out is myriads OF peo-
PIE tonight for the usual election night
rcvo. An tho pent-up enthusiasm OF an un-
precedented state campaign was vented in
frenzy OF noise Broadway from Forty
