VIEW OF THE ELECTION.

Makes It Plain That There Is No Psl-

Await the Efnal state Ticket Returns.
Charles E. Hughes left this city at 7.3o
O'Clock last night FOR Timothy l.. Woodrur's
Ramp KiIkare. in the Fulton chain OF the
A~dirondacks. Before leaving the Governor
elect made this statement:
-ltisa victory for sobriety and for deoency
In the administration Of government. But
the people will not tolerate indifference to
public wrongs. They desire neither exag-
g~eration or inhammatory appeal on the
one hand nor moral or political obtuseness
on the other hand. The election is a rebuks
to magogicsl meth dds. and it is also inn
pressive in lis dem2 nd or ,esponsibleieader-
ship, l shall address myself to the task
Of 'sqnsring the administration OF govern
lnent with the interest Of the people, con-
fdent that / may rely upon the support OF all
good citizens, not only those who voted for
me but also those who in the int ensity Of
their desire to end abuses voted for my
opponent. 70 the work o. i~nsuring u the
extent Of NV pow or the Just administration
Of the GOV OF this State l shall de-
vote myself unreserveily.
While perfectly well, | am very weary
from the lsbors OF the campaign and / want
a few days OF perfect quiet. For this pur-
pose / am going 10 the mountains for Q
little outdoor life and undisturbed rest.
There is nothing Of political Significance
in the trip; il is simply to get a good breath
OF fresh air. When ] return I shall close up
my business affairs and at once prepare for
the imL ortant duties 10 which the people
have assigned me"
Mr.. Hughes, when be boarded the Adiron-
dsck Express, looked thoroughly tired out.
The Woodruff camp is thirteen miles from
a railroad. and a few days there will, in the
opinion Of his friends. put him in fine con-
dition to undertake the work that is ahead
of him.
Mr.. Hughes during his stay in the Adiron-
daoks will refuse to discuss any plans in
regard to his administration with anybody.
That was thoroughly understood bcfors'
he accepted an invitation to visit Ramp
| kilIkare. MIR. Hughes awaited himself Of
! Mr. Woodruff's invitation because he be-
! lieved that he would be free there from the

at any hotel thai he might select. n he
finds that he can't be free from political
interruption there he will undoubtedly
the Adirondacks until at least the first Of
uext week.
With him on the express last night az
guests Of Mr. Woodruff went State Senator
Alfred r. Page, Luther Little, head OF the
Gtafa Oapnunfftaafa Nraaa htqrnau and aavQraI
others from the staff OF workers at the State
committee headquarters, including j.. w.
Hutchinson, Ray Smith, chief OF the
speakers bureau; Charles W. Farnham,
william Ross and Frank Bowers.
Mr.. Woodruff, Lieut.. Gov. NJ. Linn Bruce;
Attorney-General Mayer and William
Barnes, Jr., also expected TO cave for the
camp last night, but the uncertainty about
the fate OF most OF the Republican candi-
ds ties kept them here. They will probably
join the rest party" to-day.
Just as Mr.. Hughes arrived at che Grand
Central Station a number of Congressman
who had been attending the funeral of
Gen. Ketcham at Dover Plains alighted
from an incoming rain. Among them
we're Herbert Parsons, William 8. Bennett . !
John f. Andrus, Gen Henry H. Bingham OF
Philadelphia, Wayne Parker of New Jerseys
J. Van V. Olcott, j A. Goulden and Senfuef
Mcmillan. Several Of the party went to the
car where MIR. Hughes was and extended
their congratulations,
There were q good many passengers AZ
the station, but only a few Of them reeog-
nized the G~oYernor-elect.
Mr.. Hughes spent most Of the day at his
home. so West End avenue. receiving the
returns. II was apparent that he was very
anxious about those under him on the Re-
publican ticket. hut he declined to make
any comment on the situation.
Hundreds OF kilograms poured in on
him in the course Of the day. They came
from all parts Of the State and from many
persons outside " the State. Dispatches
from Washington snid that President Roose-
welt had sent n message Of conRratulstion,
/ but Mr.. Hughes had not received Il when
he left 81 1877 O'Clock. Gov. Higgins wired:
An right thinking people rejoice in your
victory. Please accept my congratulations
