Several New York Cities Taken Out of the
Republican Column

New York, Nov According to
incomplete returns from all over the
state, received up to 1890, Charles
E, Hughes, republican candidate, is
elected governor of New York over
William Randolph Hearst, the nom
inee Of the democratic party and in
dependence league by approximately
a plurality of 10000. Two years ago
Governor Higgins was elected on the
republican ticket by S0,560, The ma
jority this year is regarded as large,
There is some doubt expressed as
to the fate of the democratic and in
dependence league tickets outside OF
Hearst several New York newspa-
pers which had been supporting
Hughes, declaring that there was
chance that the subordinate officers
of the democratic and independence
league combination had been elected.
Latest figures seem to indicate that
Hughes plurality above the Bronx
exceeds 10000. To offset this
Hearsts plurality in greater New
York is probably $4,000 to $4,000.
In Brooklyn, where Senator H. Nc
Carren made fight against Hearst,
the latter carried the borough by
small plurality, probably 1000 At
one time it seemed that Hughes was
successful in Brooklyn but late re-
turns all strongly favored the demo
cratic candidates.
Hearst was given a majority of
10000 in Manhatten and the Bronx,
Queens county, which includes Long
Island city has gone for Hearst by
5000 to 5000 and Richmond, Staten
island, also gives the democratic can
didate a plurality,
1t was generally expected that
Hearst showed his greatest strength
in the cities throughout the state and
took out of the republican column a
number of the more important mu-
inequalities Among the cities which
gave Hearst pluralities were Buffalo.
Rochester, Utica, Troy, Elmira, Rome,
i-lIllt + ans ana jamestown.
Hughes did not gain single city.
The republican ticket was successful
but sustained serious losses in SYRIA
cuse, Gloversyille, Amsterdam, Ithaca,
Schenectady, Watertown and Plat5s-
burg. Great interest conferred In
New York in the campaign waged for
the judiciary ticket named by the
committee of lawyers, headed by Jo-
seph H. Choate and former Judge AL.
ton B. Parker. Tammany and the in.
dependence league joint ticket won
over the non-partisan candidates by
big pIuralities.
State Senator Thomas f. Grady.
Tammany hall, has been reelected.
In Schenectady, one of the best or
ganized labor cities in the United
States, it was expected that Hearst
would have substantial plurality,
but the republican ticket was success
full by 474 votes as against a Higgins
plurality of 1912 two years ago.
While both the state senate and as
sembly will be strongly republican.
democrats are claiming they have
made gains. The complexion of the
New York congressional delegation. 1t
is believed, will undego but slight
change If any.
