/ New York, Nov T. With incom-
| plete returns outside of Greater New
| York the result of the election in New
| York state aside from the head OF the
| ticket is still in doubt There is still
a possibility that the entire Demo
| cratic state ticket, aside from COVER
nor, has been elected. All the Dem
ocratic state candidates ran far ahead
| OF William r. Hearst in Greater New
York, and their pluralities here of APP
proximately 49, 900 over their Repub-
| lican Opponents may have the effect
of overcoming the Republican lead in
/ upstate counties. These estimates,
| however, necessarily, are based on the
/ full state vote for governor, and de-
| pend entirely on the estimate that
| lesser candidates held with Charles E.
| Hughes.
| In the face of the present returns
| river with a lead over Hearst of lit
| tie more than 10000. While this
| was sufficient to give MIN a lead or
considerably more than $4,000 over
| Hearst, Mr.. Hughes associates have
| the far greater plurality rolled up by
| the remainder of the ticket to meet
The closest contest undoubtedly
| will be between NJ Linn Bruce (RepD
| and Lewis Stuyvesant Chanl9r, indie
pendent league and Democrat candi-
date for lieutenant governor. Chan
ler's plurality in Greater New York
| Is about 1875 GOO. Returns already in
show that some of the upstate coun-
ties ran ahead of his ticket. Even if
Mr.. Bruce had come down to the
Bronx on an even footing with
Hughes the plurality of Chanler would
have been scant 5000. If the re-
turns yet TO come show that the Re-
publican candidate made gains in
other counties this plurality may be
cut down, if not entirely wiped out
Next to lieutenant governor the fig
ures at hand show that John 1. Wha-
ZEN. the Democratic candidate for Sec
rotary of state, may come through
winner by the closest margin. AS more
complete returns began to come in by
counties 1t was seen that in some in
stances. there was a small but consist
ent lead by the lesser Republican can
didates over the head Of their ticket.
This fact served only to Increase the
uncertainty regarding the result of
the officers below given.
Mr.. Hearst apparently carried only
two counties in the state outside of
Greater New York. These were Che
mung and Schoharie. 1t was in his
home city, however, that he encoun-
tered the bitterest and most determin-
ed opposition. Kings county, of
which Pat H. McCarren is the Demo
cratic leader, last year gave Hearst
for mayor a large plurality, but Tues
day McCarren exerted all his forces to
return a Hughes plurality in his coun-
ty. His instructions to his captains
were to cut Hearst and vote the re-
mainder of the Democratic state tick
e. While Mr. Hearst succeeded in car
rying the county by a plurality Of
1853, the returns for the remainder
OF the state ticket show that his trou-
BILE with McCarren cost him dearly.
The plurality in the county of the
Democratic candidates who were not
affected by McCarren's order exceed
ed that of the head of the ticket by
more than 10000. Had Hearst receiv-
ed these votes it would have cut
Hughes lead in the state practically
IN half
Mr. Hearst made a statement in
which he admitted defeat, saying 1.-The
people have decided to retain the Re
publican party in power" He also
said he was enlisted in this fight
against the control of the government
by the trusts and corrupt corpora
tons, and / will fight it to the end"
Mr.. Hughes said: Il am very much
gratified, but whatever the plurality
may be, my feeling is not one of Ella
ton, but of responsibility"
