The San Francisco call., 1906-11-08
Hughes the Only Republican
Elected in New York.
Hearst the Lone Loser
On the Democratic
State Ticket.

Jul oii the lace, OF the nSuTeS Stl manu-
the result seemed to favor Lewis Stuy-
vesant Chanler. on the Democratic-1n-
dependence League ticket. Whatever
the result may be, the figures will be
close, and until complete returns shall
have been made by all the counties now
missing it will be impossible to do
more than to guess at the winner. The
total vote for the State so far as re-
turned. including the city of Greater
New York. for Lieutenant Governor is:
Chanler 04,234, Bruce 51e,47s
1t appears that outside of the can
didate for Governor and possibly Lieu
tenant Governor the Democratic ticket
is elected. In Greater New York Chan
lers majority over Bruce is 134.941. and
this big lead Bruce must overcome in
the upstate counties. Among the
missing counties is Westchester, which
gave Hughes 5000 plurality.
Republican State headquarters, while
expressing the belief late tonight that
Bruce would pull out ahead of Chanier,
would give no figures Chairman
Woodruff said:
"On looking over the returns from
some forty odd counties we. find that
Bruce has run ahead Of Hughes by 600
votes and. 1 believe he is elected. At
the present tifne / do not care TO give
any opinion regarding the rest OF the
ticket"
CLAIM STATE TICKET.
Independence League headquarters
claim the whole ticket. with the
exception of the nominee for Governor.
At Democratic State headquarters no
predictions or estimates were given
out.
At Republican State headquarters 1t
was stated tonight that while the COM
mittee was not prepared to make any
official statement, their estimate on in
complete returns Is that NJ. Linn Bruce
had been elected Lieutenant Governor
by a plurality of about 5000 votes, and
that Julius NJ Mayer has been elected
Attorney General, but by very mar
row margin. 1t is thought that the re-
mainder of the Republican ticket has
been defeated, but this is not conceded
as yet
Incomplete returns from two thirds
of the counties in the State of New
York make it impossible to give def
mite figures on the State ticket other
Republican candidate for Governor, has
a majority of $4,000. approximately,
but the remainder of the candidates are
in. doubt
For Lieutenant Governor Lewis Stuy-
vesant Chanler, Democratic-Indep
ence League candidate has a lead in
the city of Greater New York of 1884,,
lican candidate for Lieutenant Govern
or is running slightly ahead of
Hughes vote. AS Hughes came down
to Greater New York with lead OF
approximately $4,000, 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
determine the successful candidate.

from upstate counties. At II o'clock
forty out of the sixty-one in the State
had completed the count and turned In
the figures. From these it is impossi-
BILE to predict the result of the entire
count as to the subordinate places on
the two tickets.
Governor elect Hughes tonight gave
out the following statement:
1t is a victory for sobriety and Tor
ernment But the people will not toll
crate indifference to public wrongs.
They desire neither exaggeration nor
inhammatory appeal on the one nano
nor moral or political obtuseness on
the other. The election is rebuke
to denagogical methods, and 1t is also
impressive in its demand 1or respon-
sible leadership. I shall address my
self to the task of squaring the ad-
ministration of government with the
interests of the people, confident that
Il may rely upon the SdPPOlS VI eAAA
good citizens, not only those. who
voted for me, but also those 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. l shall
devote myself unreservedly.
Hughes said he was very weary from
the labors of the campaign, and in
tended going up to the mountains for
a little outdoor life and undisturbed
rest.
RAISE CRY OF FRAUD.
At the headquarters of the Inde-
pendence League tonight the following
statement was issued:
Reports from up State indicate not
only that Hearst cut down the Repub-
lican vote materially, but that the IN.
was not counted IN many counties.
These votes will have to be added to
the announced result of Hearsts vote
figures in the State.
Last night Captain William Astor
Chanler stated that his brother Rob-
Dutchess County, had threatened to
bring mandamus proceedings against
several election boards before they
consented to count the lndepenoence
reports were received indicating that
independence League votes for Hearst
were not counted IN Erie ana Alle-
gheny counties. Reports came in also
Showing that in districts In Clinton.
Cattaraugus, Herkimer, Wayne, AL
bany, Onondaga and Washington coun-
ties there was a failure on the part
of the election boards to count the
vote for Hearst
The facts developed today explain
the great falling off of the total vote
cast yesterday as compared with the
total vote cast two years ago. There
is no doubt that the votes represented
by this falling off were the votes cast
for Hearst and his associates In 1904
the total vote cast for Governor was
1,625,90 This year. with sixty-three
election districts missing, only 1.373,-.
$50 votes are accounted for, although
the registration this year was un-
usually heavy and the weather condi-
tions and the interest taken in the
campaign all tended to bring out full
