Split tickets in every county in the
one continuous grind. The straight
tickets were few and far between. es-
pecially In Greater New York. The
vote for lieutenant governor in Great
er New York, with nine districts miss
ing. give Chanler. Democrat and In
dependence league, a plurality Of 1884,
$40 over Bruce. Republican.
In the interest which centered
about the Hughes Hearst vote, little
notice was given TO the judiciary re-
suits by the masses last night The
indicated defeat OF the judiciary nomi-
nators' ticket In this city. the ticket
which was named by a committee OF
lawyers headed by Joseph IL. choate
and Alton II. Parker, escaped general
attention.
Almost complete returns from the
Greater New York for state officers
show that aside from governor the
Democratic ticket received I'm tho
greater city by a plurality OF from
$4,000 10 $4,000 This would in
dicate that unless the Republican
candidates for offices below that OF
governor ran ahead OF Charles r..
Hughes above the Bronx, the full
Democratic state ticket, except gov
ernor. may have been elected. Re-
yet too incomplete 10 warrant any
thing like an accurate forecast.
With incomplete returns outside or
Greater New York, the result Of yester-
days election In the Empire state, aside
from the head OF the ticket, was still III
doubt today. At 10 o'clock this forenoon
there was a possibility that the entire
Democratic state ticket aside from gov
ernor had been elected. AL the Demo
cratic state candidates ran far ahead of
William n Hearst I'm the Greater NEW
York. and their pluralities here OF ap-
proximately 10000 over their Republican
opponents may have the effect or over
coming the Republican lead In upstate
counties.
These estimates. however. are necessar-
lily based upon the full state vote for gov
ernor. and dependent entirely upon the
estimate that lesser candidates held with
Charles L. Hughes. On the face OF the
present returns, Mr.. Hughes came down
10 the Harlem river with lead over
Hearst OF little more than 900. While
this was sufficient to give him a lead OF
considerably more than $4,000 over
Hearst, Mr.. Hughes associates have the
far greater plurality rolled UP by the re-
mainder OF the state ticket 70 meet:
The closest contest undoubtedly will be
between NJ. Linn Bruce. Republican, and
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler. Indepedence
League and Democrat, for lieutenant
governor. Chanler's plurality In the
Greater New York is about 1900
Mr.. Hearst apparently carried only two
counties in the state outside OF the
Greater New York. These were Chemung
and Schoharie.
Revised returns. some OF them based on
estimates, indicate a plurality OF about
1S5, ,VV0 for Hughes above the Bronx. This
would make his plurality i'm the state
about $4,000. Corrected figures from
Westchester county i'm favor Of Hughes
make up most OF the difference from the
former estimate OF Hughes plurality. Re-
publican pluralities I'm Albany. Columbia
Cortland, Erie. Madison, Montgomery
Oneida, Onondaga, Rensselaer,. Schenec'
tady and Tompkins snow Bruce, r.
for lieutenant governor about 700 aheaC
OF Hughes On the basis of 135,vVO up
state plurality for Hughes this woult
seem TO show Bruce's election by mar
row margin, but as the Democratic candi
dates for the other state offices RAJ
ahead Of their ticket they appear now e
be elected, including Jackson OF Erie
county for attorney general
