HEARST CAN WIN
BY own FIGURES

New York, Nov. AT the head
Quarters of the Independence league
tonight the following statement was
issued:
reports from up state indicate
not only that Mr.. Hearst cut down
the republican vote materially. but
that the independence League vote
for Mr. Hearst was not counted In
rlany counties. These votes will have
to be added to the announced results
for Mr.. Hearst in order to give the
correct figures in the state.
Last night Captain William Aston
Chandler stated that his brother
Robert, who is running for sheriff in
Duchess county,, had threatened to
bring mandamus proceedings against
several election boards before they
consented to count the Independence
League vote for Hearst.
~>"Today other reports were received
indicating that the Independence
League vote for Mr.. Hearst was not
counted in Erie and Allegheny coun-
ties. Reports come in also showing
that in other districts in Clinton and
Cattarabus, HerAimer. Wayne. AL
bany, Onondeiga and Washington
counties there was a failure on the
part Of the election board to count
the vote for Mr. Hearst which was
cast under the scales
1.-THE facts developed today explain
the great falling off Of the total vote
cast yesterday as compared with the
total vote Of two years ago. There is
r.o doubt that the vote represented
by this falling off is the vote cast for
Mr.. Hearst and his associates under
the emblem of the scales In 1904
the total vote cast for governor was
1,625,9O7. This year with SO election
districts missing there are only 1,373,-
$50 accounted for, although the reg
istration this year was unusually
heavy and the weather conditions and
the interest taken in the campaign
al! tended to bring out a full vote.
These matters are being fully inves-
tigated."
Incomplete returns from two-thirds
Of the counties in the state Of New
York make 1t impossible up to late
hour tonight to give definite figures
on the state ticket, other than for
governor. Charles E. Hughes. re-

Bruce, republican candidate for lieu
tenant governor, is running slightly
ahead of Mr.. Hughes.
As Mr.. Hughes came down to
Greater New York with lead of
approximately 121,000 1t will readily
be seen that the vote for second place
On the ticket will be very close and
only the complete official count will
determine the states candidate.
At IL o'clock 40 out Of 81 counties
in the state had completed the count
and turned in the figures. From this
+. is impossible to predict the result
( the entire count as to the subordin-
ate places on the two tickets. At re-
publican state headquarters no def
mite statement or claim Is to be had.
But based on the returns already in
1t appears that Bruce is elected by
5000. 1t was stated that as there
were still about 20 counties to be
heard from officially nothing will be
given out until these have been re-
ported.
Governor Elect Charles e. Hughes
tonight gave out tie following state
ment:
1T is victory for sobriety and de-
cency in the administration of gov
eminent, but the people will not tot
crate indifference to public wrongs.
They desire neither exaggeration nor
inflammatory appeal on the one hand
nor moral or political obtuseness on
the other hand. The election Is a re-
buke to demagogical methods and 1t Is
also impressive in its demand for re-
sponsible leadership. I shall address
myself to the task OF squaring the ad-
ministration of government with the
interest Of the people. Confident that
I may rely on the support Of good cit
liens. not only those who voted for
me but also those who in the intensity
Of their desire to end abuses, voted for
my opponent, to the work of insuring
to the extent Of my power the Just
administration of the government OF
this state, I shall devote myself un-
reservedly."
Mr.. Hughes said he was very weary
from the labors of the campaign and
intended going up to the mountains
for little out door life and undisturb.
