republican candidate for governor has
been elected by $4,000 or more plurali-
ty. Outside Greater New York. with
100 election districts missing Mr.

OOo. In Greater New York. With 60
election districts missing, William
randolph Pearst, the democratic and
INDEPENDENCE candidate, had a plu
fallty of 1896, M7. Hearst carried all
the borough Of the great city, despite
the 1act that the early returns seemed
70 Ind Icate that he had lost Brooklyn.
NO T4etlnite figures are yet available as
10 the results with regard to the sub
o climate offices and both democrats and
republicans are claiming victories from
lieutenant governor down.
The indications are that the state
Legislature will show but little change
in its political make up.
The Tammany judiciary ticket in
New York county, with the exception
of Otto ROsalsky, for general sessions
judge, republican, has been elected.
The judiciary neminators ticket was
defeated.
Replying tt the question whether he
would concede the election Of Mr..
Hughes at 1:15 o'clock this morning
Mr. Hearst sent the following to the
newspaper men:
mo 1 will not"
2 a. MIR. Hearst still claims to
lave been elected governor of New
York by at least 10000 Plurality, and
charges that an attempt is being made
to steal the election. He asserts that
the returns are being held pack in
many districts in the country, as we'll
as in the city.
Up to midnight neither MIR. Hearst
nor his campaign managers would con-
cede the election Of Mr.. Hughes, con
sistently maintaining that when all the
votes shall have been counted Mr..
Hearst will nave a safe majority.
New York, November 6.-According
to incomplete returns from all over
the state received UP to 1890 tonight
Charles f. Hughes the republican can
didate has been elected governor Of the
state over William R. Hearst, the
nominee of the democratic party and
h independence league by approx
mately a plurality Of 10000. Two
years ago Governor Higgins was elect
ed on the republican ticket by 80, $50.
There was some doubt expressed to-
night as to the fate of the democratic
and independence league tickets out
side of Hearst. several of the New
York newspapers which lave been up
porting Mr.. Hughes declaring hat
there was a chance that the subOrdi-
late officers of the democratic and in
dependence league combination had
been elected.
The latest figures seem to indicate
that Mr.. Hughes plurality above the
Bronx will exceed lis, 600. To offset
this Mr.. Hearst's plurality in Greater
New York will probably be from 75.-
900 to 10000.
In Brooklyn where Senator Patrick
McCarren made a bitter fight against
Hearst, the latter carried the borough
by a small plurality, probably 1000.
At one time it seemed that Hughes
a been successful in Brooklyn, but
the late returns were all strongly in
favor of the democratic candidate.
NIL. I1SdI 81 ud0 UCCA given q AIoJOi
ty of nearly 10000 in Manhattan and
the Bronx. Queens county, which in
cludes Long Island City, has gone for
Hearst by from 5000 to 5000, and
Richmond, (Staten 1sland), has also
given the democratic candidate a plu-
~3'ty. AS a result of the scratching
and the voting for the same candidates
under different party emblems, the re-
turns for the subordinate officers on the
various state tickets. are so complica-
ted as not to be available tonight.
Great interest centered here in the
campaign waged for the judiciary tick
ct named by a committee of lawyers,
headed by Joseph H.. Choate, and for
mer Judge Alton B. Parker. The
Tammany and Independence League
joint ticket has won over the non-par-
tisan candidates by big pluralities.
