IS
Returns From Many Points Indicate
where Dig Battles For Supremacy
Were on-New YORK city, Buffalo,
Rochester. Utica, Troy, Eimira,
Rome. Little Fails and YOUNGSTOWN
Gave "a Plurality to- the Democratic
and independence League cnndi-
date. the Republicans Not Gaining
single City.
The latest advices from Washington
say the epnblicans will coutrcl the
next house by 60 majority. The
democrats gained % seats.
In New York the election of the en-
tire democratic state ticket below the
governor is conceded at republican
headqnai tiers. with the possible except
on of Chanler. for Iieutenant-gover-
nor. Chairman Woodruff still hopes
that Bruce will pull through. but his
chances are regarded as slim.
NEW YORK, Nov. s.-Incomplete re-
turns from more than two-thirds of the
counties in the state of New YORK
make it impossible TO give definite fig
urss on the state ticket other than for
governor. Charles r. Hughes, Repub-
iican candidate for governor, has
majority of $1,000 approximately, but
the remainder of the candidates are In
doubt
For lieutenant governor Lewis Stuy-
yesant Chanler, Independ-
ence league candidate, has lead in
the city of Greater New York of 1884,
D41. Up state NJ Linn Bruce, Repub-
loan candidate for lieutenant govern
or, is running slightly ahead of Mr..
Hughes vote. AS Mr.. Hughes came
down to Greater New York with lead
OF approximately 10000, it will readi-
~ be seen that the vote for second
place on the ticket Will be very close,
and only the complete official count
will determine the successful candi-
date.
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 on the two tickets. At Repub-
lean state headquarters no definite
statement or claim could be had. 1t
was stated that as there were still
about twenty counties to be heard from
eMcially nothing would be given out
until these have reported.
Governor Elect Charles f. Hughes
gave out the following statement:
cit is a victory for sobriety and for
aecency In the administration of gov
ernnent. But the people will not toll
crate Indifference to public wrongs.
They desire neither exaggeration nor
infammatory appeal on the one hand
NOR moral or political obtuseness on
the other hand The election is. a re-
buke to demagogical methods, and it
is also Impressive in its demands for
responsible leadership. l shall address
myself to the task of squaring the ad-
ministration OF government with the
interest of the people, confident that l
may rely upon the support of all good
citizens, not only those who voted for
me, but also those who I'm the intensity
of their desire 10 end abuses voted for
my opponent. To the work Of insuring,
to the extent of my power, the just adj
minlstration of the government of this
state l shall devote myself mrescrved-
~.
while perfectly well. I am very
weary from the labors of the cam
paign. and | want a few days of per
feet quiet For this reason | am going
to the mountains for a little outdoor
life and undiSturbed rest. There is
nothing of political significance in the
trip. 1t is simply TO get a good breath
of fresh air, When l return l shall
close up my business affairs and at
once prepare for the important duties
TO which the people have assigned me. -
Mr. Hughes left for the Adirondacks
last night in company with State Chair
man Woodruff, whose guest he is to be
at Kamp XIII Kare
In Brooklyn. where Senator Patricb
II. McCarren made a bitter fight
against Hearst the latter carried the
borough by a small plurality, probably
1000 At one time il seemed thai
Hughes had been successful in Brook
Ign, but the late returns We're al
strongly in favor of the Democratic
candidate.
Mr. Hearst has been given a ma
jority Of nearly 10000 in New Yorl
and the Bronx district. Queens coun
ty, which includes Long Island City
has gone for Hearst by from 5000 t
5000. I'D Richmond Staten Island
has also given the Democratic candi
date a plurality.
AS was generally expected, Mr.
Hearst showed his greatest strength
In the cities throughout the state anC
took out of the Republican column
