HUGHES GETS THERE,
HE WILL BE NEW WORKS COVER.
 NOR BY ABOUT 52,ooo.
Republicans Also Claim Election of Bruce for Lieutenant Governor
 Over ChanIer.

New 4Ork.-lncomplete returns l from two-thirds of the counties in the state of New York make it impossi- ble as yet to give definite figures on the state ticket other than for gover- nor. Charles F. Hughes, Republican candidate for governor, has a plural ity of 52,000 approximately, but the | remainder of the candidates are in doubt.
 For Lieutenant governor, Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, Democratic-In- dependence League candidate, has a lead in the city of Greater New York of 134,941. Up state M l.. Bruce, Re- | publican candidate for lieutenant gov. ernor, is running slightly ahead of MT. Hughes vote. As MT. Hughes came down to Greater New York with | lead of 129,000, it will readily be seen | that the vote for second place on the | ticket will be very close and only the complete official count will deter. mine the successful candidate
 Returns are coming in very slowly | from upstate counties. At present forty out of the sixtyone in the state l had completed the count and turned in the figures. From these it was i'm. | possible to predict the result of the entire count as to the subordinate places on the two tickets.
 At Republican state headquarters no definite statement of claim could be had, but based upon returns already in, it appears that Bruce is elected by 5000. It was stated that as there were still about twenty counties to be heard from officially, nothing would be given out until these have reported.
 Governor-elect Charles E. Hughes has given out the following state ment:
 Tt is a victory for sobriety and for decency in the administration of gov ernment But the people will not tolerate indifference to public wrongs. They desire neither eXaggeration nor inflammatory appeal on the one hand. nor moral nor political obtusions on the other hand. The result is rebuke to demogogic methods. I shall ad- dress myself to the task of squaring the administration of government with the interests of the people, confii- dent that 1 may rely on the sup port of all good citizens, not only those who voted for me, but also kthose who. in the intensity of their desire to end abuses, voted for my | opponent To the work of insuring, to the extent of my power, the just administration of the government of this state I shall devote myself unre- servedly.
 While perfectly well, am very weary from the labors of the cam paign. and want few days rest For this reason I am going to the noun tains for little outdoor life and un- disturbed rest There is nothing of political significance in the trip; 1t is simply to get a good breath of fresh air. When l return I shall close up my business affairs and at once pre- pare for the important duties to which the people have assigned me" At the headquarters of the lndepen' dence League the following statement has been issued:
 Reports from upstate indicate not |. only that Mir Hearst cut down the Republican vote materially but that the Independence League vote for MT. l Hearst was not counted in many coun' ties. These votes will have to be added to the announced result of MT. | Hearst's vote in order to give the correct Hearst figures in the state,
 Last might Capt William Astor i Chanler stated that his brother, Rob l ert, who was running for sherlh Tn 1 Duchess county, had threatened to bring mandamus proceedings against several Election Boards before they consented to count the Independence League vote for Mir Hearst.
 To-day other reports were received indicating that Independence League votes for MT. Hearst were not count ed in Erie and Allegheny counties. Reports come in also showing that in districts of Clinton, Cattagarus, Her. kimer, Wayne, Albany, Onondaga and WaSnlUStOn COunlltS thCiC "oS o A'AA ure on the part of the Election Boards to count the vote for MT. Hearst which was cast under the scales.
 "The facts developed explain the great falling off of the total vote cast yearly as compared with the total vote past two years ago. There is no doubt that the votes reported by this falling off were the votes cast for MT. Hearst and his associates under the emblem of the scale. In 1904 the total vote cast for governor was l,625,sof' This year, with sixty-three election districts missing, only 1,373,45 votes are accounted for, although the regis. tration this year was unusually heavy and weather conditions and the in terest taken in the campaign all terd' ed to bring out a full vote. These matters are being fully investigated
