NEW YORK ELECTION
Both Sides Claiming Victory for sub-
 ordinate state Officers.

New York, Nov. 7.-According to re- turns received up to an early hour this morning, Charles E, Hughes, the repub- lican candidate for governor, has been elected by 50,OOO or more plurality outside of Greater New York, with 16O election districts missing, MT. Hughes had a plurality of about 124,O0O. In Greater New York, with sixty-nine election districts missing, William R. Hearst had a plurality of 75,036. Mr. Hearst carried all the boroughs of the Greater city, despite the fact that the early returns seemed to indicate that he had lost Brooklyn.
 No definite figures are yet available as to the result with regard to the sub ordinate state officers, and both demo- crats and republicans are claiming vic tories, from lieutenant governor down.
 The indications are that the state legislature will show but little change in it's political makeup.
 The Tammany judiciary ticket in New York county, with the exception of Otto Rosalsky republican, for general sessions judge, has been elected. The judiciary nominators ticket was de- feated.
 State Chairman Max F. Ihmsen, of the independence league, claims that MT. Hearst has been elected. He sent out late last night telegrams to all in- dependence league watchers to be on guard to see that the full vote was counted.
 At ? a. m. Mr. Hearst still claimed to have been elected governor of New York by at least 10000 plurality, and charged that an attempt was being made to steal the election. He asserts that the returns are being held back in many districts in the country as well as in the city.
 As was generally expected, MT. Hearst showed his strength in the cities throughout the state and took out of the republican column number Of the more important municipalities which heretofore have been republican. Among the cities which gave Hearst a plurality were Buffalo, Rochester, Utica, Troy, Elmjra, Rome, Little Falls and Johns town. All of these except Utica and Rome were republican two years ago. MT. Hughes did not gain a single city The republican ticket was successful, but sustained serious losses in Syra- cuse, Gloversville, Amsterdam, Ithaca, Schenectady, Watertown and Platts- burg.
 As a result of the scratching and the voting for the same candidates under different party emblems the returns for the subordinate officers in the various state tickets are so complicated as not to be available tonight.
 Great interest centered here in New York in the campaign waged for the Judiciary ticket named by q commit tee of lawyers, headed by Joseph H. Choate and former Judge Alton B. Parker The Tammany and lndepen- dence league joint ticket has won over the non-partisan candidates by big pluralitles.
 State Senator Thomas F. Grady of Tammany Hall has been reelected over Thomas Rock, who has been known in the campaign as "S-hour'' Rock, and who claimed he had been ''tricked" by the independence league. Throughout the state there has been a notable falling off in the vote from 1904 which was a presidential year. The republican ticket showed the greatest loss in this respect, especially in the cities.
 In claiming the election of MT Hughes tonight by large plurality Republican State Chairman Woodruff said: T knew all along we had lost the labor vote Every possible thing was done to recover it, but l think without avail"
 MT. Hughes said: q am very much gratified if I am elected, as now seems to be the case. Whatever my plurality may be- my feeling is not one of ela- tion, but of responsibility.
 Neither Max F. Ihmsen, chairman of the Independence league; W. J, Con- nors, chairman of the democratic state committee, nor MT. Hearst was willing to admit that they were defeated at a late hour tonight.
 There were many odd turns to the balloting. Here in New York it was Richmond that defeated MT. Hears for mayor year ago, and it wa Brooklyn with big plurality whict helped him to make the race so close.
 MT. Hearst barely carried Brooklyn to-day and ran far ahead in Richmond In Schenectady, one of the best organ ized labor cities in the United States, i was expected MT Hearst would have a. substantial plurality. The republican ticket was successful by 374 votes a' against a Higgins plurality of 1921 tw' years ago. While both the state sen ate and assembly will be strongly re publican, the democrats are claiming
 that they have made gains. The com plexion of the New York congressiona
 delegation, it Is believed, will undergt but slight change, if any.
