Orange County observer. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1880-1918, 1906-11-08

Been Elected. !
New York, Special.-According to
incomplete returns from all over tho
State received up to 1890 O'Clock
Tuesday night, Charles e. Hughes,
the Republican candidate, has been
eleeted governor Of the State, over
William Randolph Hearst, the nomi-
nee Of the Democratic party aud the
Independence League, by approx
mately q plurality Of $4,000. Two
years ago Governor Higgins was elect
on the Republican ticket by $4,000. |
There was some doubt expressed as
to the fate of the Democratic and In
dependence League tickets outside Of
Mr.. Hearst, several Of the New York
newspapers, which have been support
ing Mr.. Hughes, declaring that there
was a chance that the subordinate Of
fcers Of the Democratic and indie
pendence League combination has
been elected.
The latest figures seem to indicate
that Mr.. Hughes plurality above the
Bronx will exceed l15,O0O. 70 offsAt
this Mr.. Hearts plurality in Great
er New York will probably be from
$4,000 to $4,000.
In Brooklyn where Senator Pat
rick III. McCarren made a bitter fight
against Hearst, the latter carried the
borough by a small plurality, probab-
~ 1000. At one time it seemed that
Hughes had been successful in Brook
lyn, but the late returns were all
strongly in favor Of the Democratic
candidate.
MI. Hearst has been given a major
ity of nearly 10000 in Manhattan and
the Bronx. Queens county, which
includes Long Island City, has gone
for Hearst by from 5000 to 5000
and Richmond (Staten Island) has
also given the Democratic candidate
a plurality.
As a result Of the scratching and
the voting for the same candidates
under different party emblems, the re-
turns for the subordinate officers Oh
the various State tickets are SO COM
plicated as not to be available.
Great interest centered here in New
York in the campaign waged for the
judiciary ticket named by a commit
tee of lawyers, headed by Joseph Fl.
Choate, and former Judge Alton B.
Parker. The Tammany and indie
pendence League joint ticket has won
over the non-partisan candidates by
big pluralities.
State Senator Thomas F. Grady, Of
Tammany Hall, has been reelected
over Thomas Rock, who has been
known in the campaign as "eight
Hour Rock and who claimed he had
been tricked by the Independence
League.
Throughout the State there has
been a notable falling off in the vote
from 1904, which was a Presidential
election year. The Republican ticket
showed the greatest loss in this re.
spect, especially in the cities.
PRESIDENT MUCH INTERESTED
Washington, Special. Presiden1

nished him by the press association
and by various private sources all ov
er the country. The greatest inter
est centered i'll the reports from Ney
York, where the early returns indicat
ed that il Mr.. Hughes were elected
the claims Of his managers Of larg
maiorities for him would be material
" reduced. Early IN the. evenin
!. Secretary Root estimated that NJ
Hughes majority might vary betwee
10000 and 10000.
One Of the dispatches received B
Secretary Root came from the edito
Of The Press at Utica, in which cit
the Secretary made his only speech c

Gated the reelection Of Represent:
tive Sherman and the success Of NJ

ity ff about 5000.

ried. Oyster Bay 152 majority. B
