BALANCE OF DEMOCRATIC CANDl.
DATES ON NEW YORK STATE
TICKET ELECTED.
lieutenant GoyERNoRsH|p CLOSE
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE APPEARS
TO BE DEFEATED By FEW
THOUSAND VOTES.

New York, Nov. 9.-The election of
the entire state Democratic ticket
nominee for lieutenant governor. and
dictated by the latest returns received.
The closest contest appears to be
between Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler,
Democratic and independence league
nominee for lieutenant governor and
NJ. Linn Bruce, his Republican oppo-
nsnt Returns already in, however,
show that even if in the counties miss
ing Bruce received number of votes
equal to those given Higgins two years
ago Chanler would still have a plural
ity slightly in excess of 3,400. 1t now
seems likely that the remaining Dem
ocratic candidates will have a wider
margin than Chanler.
With eight counties still to be heard
from Chanler has a lead Of 5000 over
Bruce. The missing counties are Es-
sex, Niagara, Ontario, Orange. Fulton,
Monroe, Rockland and Yates. Hamil-
ton county, which reported during the
forenoon, showed that Bruce led Chan
Ter in that county by 120 votes and
his vote in Nerkimer county exceeded
that of Chanler by 2,76S. This gain
for Bruce was partially offset, how
ever, by revised figures from some Of
the counties previously reported.
Chairman Corners Of the Demo
cratic state committee said that the
Republicans were holding back the
returns, that fraud was being prac-
ticed and that In his opinion there
were enough independence league bal
lots not counted to reduce greatly Mr..
Hughes plurality and possibly to
elect Mr.. Hearst.
Woodruff Has Nothing to Say.
Timothy l.. Woodruff, chairman of
tho Republican state central commit
tee. was seen at headquarters. He
said he was not in a position to make
any statement and would not make
any claims or concessions. The count
In Queens county is under investiga-
ton by the office of state attorney gen.
eral The reason for it is unknown.
Charles F. Murphy, leader Of Tam
many Hall, was asked if he was salts
fed with the result Of the election.
II am not" he replied, Il wanted
the Hearst ticket elected"
Are you satisfied with Tammany's
work?' he was asked.
Yes, we did our part, all we could
d." he replied.
When asked what the occasion was
for Chairman Corners call for a
meeting Of the Democratic state COM
mittee Mr.. Murphy said:
"The up state country is very close
and the meeting will be for the pur-
pose Of guarding the interests of the
Democratic state ticket"
In reply to a question whether he
thought the officers up state were hold
ing up the returns he replied that he
would not like to say that they were
and that Mr.. Corners knew more
about it than he did.
Very nearly full returns from all
counties Of the vote for governor give
Hughes 764,334; Hearst, 6S4,722;
Hughes plurality, 61,612.
Hughes plurality outside Of Greater
New York was 136,338; Hearst's plu-
rality in Greater New York was a.
728.

Constant Friction With Russians in
Manchuria.
st. Petersburg, Nov. 9.-According
to advices received here from Vladi-
vostok there is constant friction be-
tween the Russians and Japanese in
Manchuria. The Japanese, according
to the newspapers of Vladivostok, are
continually pressing northwards in
Manchuria with the apparent intention
of establishing themselves in the him
terland of Vladivostok, where their
presence would constitute serious
menace to the fortress in the event of
the possibility of the resumption of
hostilities.. The charge that the Japa-
nese are fortifying the island of SAX
halin, in violation of the terms of the
treaty of Portsmouth, is reiterated by
the Ussur Zhisn.

And Annie and Willie had crept into bed
There tears their pillows, and tears
in their eyes,
And each little bosom heavng with signs;
For tonight, their stern fathers command had been
That they should retire precisely seven
Instead of eight: for they troubled him more
With questions unheard of than before.
He told them he thought this delusion sin;
No such being Santa Claus ever had been;
And he hoped. after this he should nevermore hear
How he scrambled down chimneys, with presents

Dear papa has told there's no Santa Claus
Now we know that there is, and it can be denied,
For he every year before poor II l1.erna died;
But then I've been thinking that she ID to pray
And God would hear everything dear would
And perhaps she asked Him to send Santa Claus
With the sackful of pretty things he bought every
year.
We'll why t'ant wa p ay just as mamma did, then,
And ask God to send him with presents aden?'
I've been thinking too And, without word
more,
Four little bare feet bounded out the floor
And four little knees the soft carpet pressed,
And two tiny hands were clasped close to each
breast
Nov, Willie, you know, firmly believe
That the presents we ask for we're sure to receive.
You stay just still till I say Amen
And by that you will know that your turn has come

Dear Jesus look down my brother and me
And grant the favors were seeking from Thee:

And, with hearts light and cheerful, again sought

And with fairies, in dreamand were roaming IN
