usual interest, it may be said that,
generally speaking, there were no
| great surprises.
The Republicans retain control OF
Congress by a good majority.
Perhaps the widest general interest
| in the elections centered in the re-
markable fight for governor which has
been waged in New York state be-
| tween Charles f. Hughes and William
| Randolph Hearst. The latest returns
available show that Hughes while los
| ing nearly all of the principal cities
: OF the state, was successful by about
| 10000 plurality. The rural districts
brought about the Republican victory.

| It's Guild (Rep) as governor over Dis

Democratic party, the Independence
League and the Prohbitionists.

with one exception.
Brooklyn broke nearly even, and the

Republican gains, but the cities went

The congressional delegation and the
Legislature Of the state will remain
