There was agitation all night at Rerub-
lican State headquarters, - I asst Thirtieth
street. With Chairman Woodruff were
william Barnes. Jr., of Albany, Senator W
! Murray Crane of Massachusetts, Lieut.
! Gov. NJ. Linn Bruce. Postmaster Wilcox.
Job Hedges, luther b. Little. Col. Archie
Baxter and half a hundred II ore.
IL was clear to all from tie first returns
that rarity lines in the safe Rad been
sn flashed. From early in I've evening until
an early hour this m orning none In the
gathering had the slightest inkling as to
the fate Of the Republican State ticket
below Mr.. Hughes.
Mr.. Woodruff figured that Mr.. Hughes
would carry the State by 80 900 and carry
in the remainder of the State ticket: MIR.
Bruce for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT John F.
o Brien for Secretary Of State. NJ. Z. Lewis
for Comptroller, Julius NJ. Mayer for At
tonsy-General, Henry A.. Van Alstyne
for Surveyor and State Engineer and John
G.. Wallenm eier for State Treasurer, but
there we're no figures handy to support
the ASSUMPTION.
Then "A chill went over all at h~eadquar-
tiers when they thought that even though
Mr.. Hughes had defeated Mr.. Hearst.
Charles +. Murphy, William j. Corners.
Patrick E. McCabe and Joseph Cassidy
might through their nominees on the State
ticket nave control of the Canal Board and
the Land Board and thus have the dis
position of the Ss5 600 900 uneXpended
canal improvement fund and of the $780, O0,-
900 appropriated for good roads.
II was almost the unanimous opinion
that the numerous fractional fights in the
Republican organization of the State had
contributed much Ia the doubt az TO the
fate Of the State ticket other than MIR.
Hughes. Not a man at Headquarters had
any other opinion tnan that the Republicans
alone could not have beaten Mr.. Hearst.

in the different counties presided over by the
Plat Republicans. the Odell Republicans.
the Higgins Republicans and other repre-
sentative Republican groups in the State.
Chairman Woodruff had planned 70 de-
part IN Thursday afternoon with MIR.
Hughes for a weeks rest at his camp in tho
Adirondacks. hut the complications arising
over the result in different counties may
postpone the trip.
If the Democratic State ticket other than

of the great departments at Albany other
than th~t of the Superintendent of Public
Works would fall into the hands of Mr..
Murphy, Mr.. Corners, Mr.. McCabe and Mr..
Cassidy, but it was predicted that Mr..
Hearst would proclaim himself Democratic
leader of the State and back up his claim
to that title by insisting that it was through
the campaign m-de by him that the Demo-
cratic candidates for Lieutenant Governor,
Secretary of State. Comptroller, Attorney
General, State Engineer and Surveyor and
State Treasurer were elected.
All at headquarters bresthed very much
easier at an early tour this n ornlng when
it became known that Mr.. Hughes had car
ried the State by n ore than 50 900, for it " as
then believed by all hat the rest of the Re-
publican State ticket was safe. But for
several hours there was the greatest appre-
hension.
