Hughes and cut down Mr.. Hearst's
vote In Rrooklyn. Mayor Mcclellan,
the legality OF whose election Mr..
Hearst had denied, used his influence
for Mr. Hughes and cut down The
Hearst vote lie New York. Mr.. Jer-
ONE, the prosecuting attorney OF
New York, who had also been Mt
tackled by Mr.. Hearst. supported the
republican ticket. and his influence
was felt In Greater New York. MT.
Croker. during the last days OF the
campaign, made IN attack upon MIR.
Hearst which doubtless weakened
the democratic candidate among The
Tammanyites. Mr.. Murphy. the
head OF Tammany. while supporting
the ticket, could not put much en-
thusiasm Into the campaign, owing
to the personal controversies which
he had had with Mr.. Hearst. II Is
evident. therefore. that Mr.. Hughes
owes his victory not to the republi.
can votes, but to democratic votes
brought TO him by the very men
whom he and the republican leaders
have been denouncing for years.
President Roosevelt cannot find
very much cause for rejoicing In The
New York returns. To have his owl
state go democratic cannot be graft
flying To him. and to find that hi,
personal attack upon Mr.. Heaist hat

pared with the iniluench exertet

will not gladden. his Thanksgiving
day. The presidents personal at
tack on Mr., Hearst was In bad taste
10 say the least, and that the attach

future.
