Perhaps Lee has been too much

great offender as the world supposed.
His error at Monmouth was not want
OF courage. but OF judgment. for he
had fought with the most reckless
bravery on two contincnts-this sol

and nothing but life 10 gain. But the
brave man abandoned a cause which
he regarded az having outraged him

HUGHES ELECTED
BY $4,000 MAJORITY
REMAINDER OF STATE TICKET
STILL IN DOUBT.
Chances in Favor of Bruce.-Official
Count Will be Necessary to Deter
mine Result for Subordinate
Offices.

New Yorw, Nov. 7. - Incomplete
returns from two-thirds of the coun-
ties in the State of New York made it
impossible up to II O'Clock tonight
to give definite figures on the State
ticket other than for governor. Char
les e. Hughes, Republican candidate
for governor, has majority of ST.
900, approximately, but the remain
der of the candidates are in doubt.
For lieutenant governor, Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler Democratic-Inde-
pendence league candidate, has a lead
in the city of Greater New York of
l34.94l. Upstate, Bruce, Republican
candidate for lieutenant governor, is
running slightly ahead of Mr.. Hugh
es' vote. AS Mr.. Hughes came down
to Greater New York with n lead of
approximately 10000, it will readily
be seen that the vote for second place
ticket will he very close and only the
complete official count will determine
the successful candidate.
Returns are. coming in very slowly
from upstate counties. At II o'clocll
40 out of the 81 counties in the State
had completed the count aud turned
in the figures. From these it was
impossible to predict the result of the
entire count as to the subordinate
places on the two tickets. At Repub-
lican State headquarters no definite
statement of claim could be had, but
based upon returns already in it ap-
pears that Bruce is elected by 5000.
It was stated that as there were still
about 20 counties to be heard from
officially, nothing would be given out
until these have been reported.
Gov-clect Charles T.. Hughes to.
night gave out the following state
ment:
"It is victory for sobriety and for
deccncy in the administrator Of gov
ernment. But the people will hot toll
crate Indifference to public wrongs.
They desire neither exaggeration nor
inflamatory appeal on the one hand,
nor moral or political obtuseness on
the other hand. The election is II
%'rebuke to demagogical methods and
it is also impressive in its demands for
responsible leadership. I shall adj
