New York, Nov. s.-According to in
complete returns from all over the
state received up to 1920 D. m,
Charles E. Hughes. the Republican
candidate, has been elected Governor
Of New York state over William Ran

Democratic party and the Independ-

atty of 10000. Two years ago Gov
ernor Higgins was elected on the Re
publican ticket by 80,560.
Some doubt was expressed tonight
as to the fate of the Democratic and
Independence League tickets outside
Of Mr.. Hearst, several Of the New York
newspapers which have been support
ing Mr.. Hughes declaring that there
was chance for the subordinate Off
GERS of the Democratic and Independ-
ence League combination having been
elected.
The latest figures seems to indicate
that Mr.. Hughes plurality above the

To onset this, Mr.. Hearst's plurality
in Greater New York will probably be
from $4,000 to $4,000.
In Brooklyn, where Senator Patrick
H. McCarren made a bitter fight
against Mr.. Hearst, the latter carried
the borough by a small plurality, prob
ably 4 900. At one time it seemed that
Hughes had been successful in Brook.

strongly in favor Of the Democratic
candidate.
Mr.. Hearst has been given a major.
