BY Western Union Bulletin and
Northwestern Telephone bulletin.
New York Nov. Returns are
still coming in from the city and state
and the election Of Hughes is claimed
by from forty to fifty thousand plur-
ality over Hearst for governor. While
this hour, l a. M. conceded the cleo
tion of Hughes. there is little doubt
that he has carried the state by
greatly reduced majority. Hearst's
majority in the city is probably
smaller than was estimated before
election and in many of the upstate
counties, the vote for Hughes was
disappointment.
New York-The Times says the in
dications are that Hughes is elected
by 10000 to $4,000 and the entire re-
publican ticket.
2,5O2 districts out of 3,O13 in state,
outside of city, give Hughes S7,034,
Hearst, 28O,275.
2,03O districts out of 3,013 in the
state outside of the city give Hughes
356,319; Hearst, 259,062.
The Herald says later returns from
Manhattan and Bronx indicate Hearst
plurality in New York will be under
$4,000. World bulletin says Hughes
is elected and Chanler, lieutenant
governor.
New York-The World says the in
dicatiOns are that Hearst will have
but $4,000 plurality in Greater New
York and that Hughes will come down
to the Bronx with 10000.
