CLOSE VOTE
IN NEW YORK
Chanler Defeated Bruce for Lieu
tenant Governor of State
Hughes Is All Alone.

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-lncomplete re
turns from more than two-thirds of the
counties in the state of New Nori
make it impossible to give definite fig
ures on the state ticket other than fol
governor. Charles K. Hughes, Repub
lean candidate for governor, has
majority of 1900 approximately, but
the remainder of the candidates are In
doubt.
For lieutenant governor Lewis Stuy'
yesant Chanler, Democratic-lndepend
ence league candidate, has a a III
the CITY of Greater New York of 1884,
94l. Up state NJ. Linn Bruce, RepuD'
llcan candidate for lieutenant govern
or, is running slightly ahead OF MI
Hughes vote. AS Mr.. Hughes came
down TO Greater New York with a lead
of approximately 10000, it will readi-
lv be seen that the vote for second
Mace on the ticket will be very close,
and only the complete official count
will determine the successful candi-
date.
Despite the defeat of William IL.
Hearst reports seem to indicate that
the rest of the Democratic state ticket
IS elected by majorities ranging from
1876 to 1921.
The returns are not complete in many
instances, but the following figures are
given as pluralities for Democratic can
dates:
For lieutenant governor, Chanler,
1916.
For secretary of state, Whalen. Bob.
For comptroller, Giynn, 500.
For state treasurer, Hauser, 6.lS1.
For attorney general, Jackson, 6,9i2.
For state engineer, Skene. S,26l.
Returns are coming in very slow
from up state counties, and from these
1t is impossible TO predict the result of
the entire count as to the subordinate
places OH the two tickets. At Repub-
lican state headquarters no definite
statement or claim could he had. 1t
was stated that as there were still
about twenty c~ouilties to be heard from
officially nothing would be given out
until these have reported.
Governor Elect Charles f. Hughes
gave out the following statement:
1T is "a Victory for sobriety and fol
decency in tie Administration Of gov
eminent. But the people will not tol
crate indifference to public wrongs
They desire neither eXaggeration no
infammatofy appeal odnb the II han'
nor moral or pSolitltta obtuseness o.
the other hand. The election is a re
buke to demagogical methods. and
is also impressive in its demands fo
responsible leadership. / shall addres
myself to the task of squaring the nc
ministration of government with til
interest of the people, confident that
may rely upon the support of all goo
citizens. not only those who voted fC
me, but also those who in the intensit
Of their desire to end abuses voted Il
my opponent. TO the work of ~insurini
to the extent Of my power, the just az
ministratioli of the government of TIL
state / shall devote myself %unreserve'
". .dmnq v,
while perfectly well, l am yer
weary from the, labors of the can
paign, and | want y, few days of PEE
feet quiet. For this reason | am goin
to the mountains for Il little outdoo
life and mldisturbed rest. There
nothing of political Significance in til
trip. 1t is simply til get a good breat
of fresh air. Wien return | sha
close up my business affairs and Il
once prepare for the important dutie
to which the people have assigned me.
