SIGNALS FLASHED
 OF GREAT VICTORY Repub' iCan Headquarters Pre- sent Very Lively Scene HITCHC0CKS STATEMENT Taft's Campaign Manager Declares That the Result Agrees With His
 Estimate Made Before
 the Election.
HITCHC0CK'S STATEMENT

New York, November 3.-Nowhere, perhaps, in New York city was there a more cheerful spot tonight than re- publican national headquarters in the big tower overlooking Madison Square. From tht top of this tallest pinnacle in the city searchlights flashed signals of republican victory and in the com mittee rooms below the men who had managed the campaign of Taft and sherman were hourly receiving news that confirmed their confidence in the success of their labors.
 Republican National Chairman Hitchcock was early at his office and, surrounded by his co-workers and oth- CTS, eagerly read the returns, pausing only to reiterate for the satisfaction of an anxious inquirer that he stood on his original claim of 325 votes in the electoral college. There was less confidence in the early hours re- garding the vote for governor but by s o'clock MT. Hitchcock expressed the opinion that Governor Hughes would be elected. Congratulatory telegrams began to pour in soon after 2 o'clock, the first announced being that from MT. sherman. MT. sherman said in a personal telegram to MT. Hitchcock
 Please accept my congratulations and thanks for the zeal and wisdom with which you have conducted the campaign today successfully com pleted"
 Tr vii icif fnd headquarters tonight. After being as- sured that the republican national ticket had been elected young Roose- welt said T cast my first vote today and voted a straight republican ticket"
 At 1O:SO o'clock tonight Chairman Hitchcock made the following statement:
 'The returns speak for themselves. There seems to be no longer any doubt full states. The electoral vote will show that my estimate was correct. It looks now, I think, as if I must have under estimated.
 'The returns have exceeded my expecta- tions.
 "The plurality in Indiana will be less than I expected. That in Illinois is far more than anticipated, and so it goes Where one state has not quite come up to the figures had expected some other state has gone far beyond. The latest returns from Maryland indicate that we have carried that state by about TOGO to 10000, and that is more than l believed it would give.
 T predicted early in the evening that Governor Hughes would be elected. To Mir. Hughes we owe much As a cam paigner he has helped wonderfully in the national contest. All of us here at headquarters were greatly interested in the fight. He has earned his victory and we are glad for him and grateful to him for the help he has given us"
 When Mir Hitchcock was asked to what he attributed the victory of the national ticket he replied:
 'The people have explained that It is not for me to say anything more except to thank the people. I do not think any formal statement from me is necessary"

TAFT CASTS VOTE
 IN HOME PRECINCT

Cincinnati, November 3.-William H. Taft cast ballot S71 at 4:4 o'clock this after noon at precinct H, Second ward, the poll ing place being in a plumbers shop at 20O9 Madison road. It required three min utes for Taft to cast his ballot after going into the booth. A fashlight pic ture was taken of Mr. Taft entering the voting place and another as he emerged.
 Before voting MT. Taft presented Elee- ton Judge Brewer with letter from the board of election supervisors containing the decision that MT, Taft's vote woull be legal if cast in that precinct.
 The decision was based on the fact that MT. Tafts last residence in Gin cinnati was at the old Walker home, near the voting place, the residence DOT tion of which has since been destroyed

MARYLAND.

Baltimore, November 4.-That Balti- more city is Taft's, that the democrats have elected Gill, Talbott and Covington to Congress, and the republicans Mudd and Kronmiller, was all that could be said with any degree of certainty well after midnight Returns from the coun- ties came in slowly and just how Con- gressman Pearre fared was in doubt. h. dications were apparently against him.
 He was known to have been cut unmer- cifully. Congressman Mudd gained his reelection by a majority probably con- siderably reduced. J. H. Coyington won a sweeping victory on the eastern shore over Congressman w. H. Jackson. The republicans claimed that these counties would add to Taft's lead given to him by the city, while the democrats claimed the state for Bryan by a small majority

TAFT ELECTED
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.)

 There has been a shrinkage in the democratic vote in several of the southern states, notably in Virginia and North Carolina.
 MT. Taft has carried Wisconsin by a plurality estimated at 75.000, a fall ing off from the Roosevelt plurality Of 156, 900 in 1904.
 Kentucky has gone safely to Bryan by between 10 900 and 5000.
 Representative w. s. Cowherd has been elected governor of Missouri over Hadley, republican, by about 10000.
 Governor John A. Johnson of Min nesota, has probably been elected gov ernor of that state for a third term, although the state has gone safely for Taft.
 The voting throughout the country has been exceptionally heavy, ideal weather conditions except in the south, bringing out the country voters in full force.

Huuhes Wins By 10000.

New York, November Ex-Governor Hughes won by over 5O,OOO plurality the biennial battle of High Bridge" which was waged today as the regiment of bal lots were marshalled
 Hughes came down to the city from up- state with an indicated plurality of about 1000. Chanler's plurality south of High Bridge was approximately 6S,0OO.
 The vote of two years ago was increased by about 10000, Chanler surprised the democratic leaders by an unexpectedly large vote in the rural districts, but lost tremendously in the city of Greater New York, where his followers had expected at least 190 900 plurality.

New York, November S.-Four men are locked up here following a raid on a house in Fifty-sixth street in which the police claim to have found a complete outfit and a quantity of spurious coin, most of them 5O-cent pieces.

 Chicago and Cook county gave a plurality to Taft of 1000 against 126,- poo for Roosevelt four years ago. Out side of Cook county the plurality for Taft is not far from 12O,00O. The plurality of President Roosevelt in 1904 was S04.9Ss for the state.

Des Moines, la, November S.-The in- complete returns received at 10 o'clock indicate that Taft has carried Iowa by a plurality of from 10000 to 5O,OOO. This is a tremendous falling off from the Roosevelt plurality of 15S,0O0 9f four years ago, but it represents only slight fall- ing off from the normal plurality. The entire republican state ticket is elected, probably by about the same plurality
 Governor Cummins probably carried the republican senatorial primary over Maj. J. F. Lacey by a plurality of 49'00O to 50, GOO, a tremendous gain from iast June when he was defeated by Allison by H. GOO.
 The indications are that the entire dele gation in Congress will be republican, gain of one over two years ago.

INDIANA.

Indianapolis November S-Early re- turns indicate that William H. Taft carried the state by from 5000 to 15,00O plurality. These returns were mostly from the cities and towns.
 Thomas R. Marshall, democratic can didate for governor, in the early re- turns was leading his republican op- ponent, James B. Watson, by about 5000 votes.
 The republican state committee claimed that the vote in the rural districts would overcome this lead.
 Indications were that the democrats have gained one and possibly more congressman from Indiana.
 The legislature was still in doubt.

MINNESOTA.

St. Paul. November 3.-While the early returns indicated the election of Governor Johnson by plurality from 10000 to 10000, the later returns from the country districts greatly modified this offsetting the large vote of tn 3 cities and towns for Johnson by def mite gains for Jacobson Republican,, !, for governor The returns up to late were too indefinite, however, to &C., curately forecast the result.

KANSAS.

Topeka, Kan. November 3.-The returns tonight seemed to substantiate the claim of the republican state committee that the entire republican state ticket, headed by Walter R. Stubbs for governor, has been elected by about 25O00 plurality, and that Tafts plurality is a few thousand votes larger The republican majority in the new legislature will be large, assur- ing the election of J. l..

COLORADO.

Denver, Colo, November 4.-With thou sands of split ballots yet to be counted and returns straight ballots complete in no city, town or county, conditions at midnight were such that it was impos- sble to give even an idea of how the state has gone. It was estimated that more than 90 per cent of the ballots cast throughout the state were split. Outside of Denver and Pueblo Bryan and Taft are running neck and neck on straight bal lots. In Denver Taft seems to lead in Pueblo Bryan has the advantage account of heavy scratching
