WdS by q IpNSlllE lHaJNlllS Hsla WI wards this the city of New Haven con tributed the amount of i500 surplus For Congressmau-at-Large Major John e 1ilson made splendid run and in this city was sent ahead of the demo- cratic candidate by 2800 votes
 In the race for the judge of probate office which was expected to be very close, Judge studley was returned to office with a handsome majority that will mount very close to 2.OOO for the district The only town he failed to carry in the district was Orange where he lost by about half hundred votes New Haven, in which t was figured Thomas would get enough majority to win over the present judge Judge Studley got away with ma Jorty that was almost staggering from 0 democratic standpoint, That was nothing left for the consolation prizes to the defeated party, either In the race for representatives in the state legislature William Costello, head of the Trades council of this city and a supposedly strong candidate, ran little ahead of Alderman Patrick 8, Cunningham, but neither was near enough to Bishop and Loos to be In the running at all, It was nothing less than n complete landslide
 When the early returns came in 1t became apparent that things were breaking entirely different from what even the wsest had foreseen, When the returns from Hartford showed that Lllley had pulled through in that city and also in Waterbury and Bridgeport politicians began to figure what majority would be needed in this city to defeat him. but long before the majority was even guessed at 1t was seen that it could not begin to pull Judge Robertson through. There was a great deal of pasting in the city but despite thls the returns came in in good style with the exception of a few wards Tn the ninth the worst trouble was experienced and this was the last to get It's returns into the cen. tral precinct
 The justices of the peace on eact ticket are of course elected. The republican candidates were given q vote of 4,4I1 except George w. Rowe and Anthony Spinello, who came ont 1 short of this and the democrats re- ceIved 3,547 each.
 One of the surprises locally was tn, amazingly small part the minority par ties played in the election. The socI allst vote was but 920 for presiden which Is over 500 less than the part boiled four years ago. The mdepend ence league was scarcely alive at al and had but one score of votes record cd from the entire city.
 As an election night last night for in terest, surpassed any for many year In New Haven, and there were thous ands in front of the newspaper office and at the theaters where the electio returns were announced, Early In tn evening 1t was seen that Taft wa elected and also that Congressman LII ley had carried the state for the gov ernorshlp From them on interes centered in the local election and in tn contest between Hughes and Chanlo in New York
 As was expected Judge Robertso ran far ahead of his ticket in New Ha ven and carried the strongest republi can wards. This announcement was re ceived with cheers before the dlfferen bulletin boards.
 The victories of Major Tilson an Congressman Nehemiah D, Sperr were received with enthusiasm in tn city, and as soon as they were assure a gathering of republicans In front the clubhouse on Grown street starte off for a parade The Italian marcl ing clubs joined in the parade, ton ing about the city, led by standar bearers with American flags front of the Journal-Courier office tf band played the Star Spangled Rar ner," while picture of William I Taft was thrown on the screen aero
