the election for governor is in doubt
with Hemans Dem.) leading Gov
ernor Warner (Rep.) by 1000 to TO-
600. Many country districts in which
Warner expects heavy vote have
not reported. Hemans has broken into
the Republican upper peninsula by
carrying Marquette city. There are
no early indications of pronounced
Democratic gains in the legislature.
Massachusetts.
Boston, Nov 4--William H. Taft
and Eben S. Draper, Republican can
didate for governor, carried Massa-
chusetts yesterday, the former by
about 100000 and the latter by about
10000. in the light of returns from
nearly three-quarters of the state. On
the same returns it was evident that
the Massachusetts congressional dele
cation remained unchanged, II Re-
publicans and three Democrats.
The Republicans ALSO elected their
state ticket and the usual majority
of members of both branches of the
legislature.
Taft ran far ahead of Draper in
nearly every city and town in the
state, and just missed carrying Bos-
ton over Bryan, the margin in the
capitol between the two principal
candidates being 3S7 votes, in a total
Of $4,000. 1t was the closest presi-
Dental contest in Boston since 1896,
when Mckinley won the city. James
H. Valley, the Democratic candidate
for governor, ran we'll ahead of Bryan
in the state, and defeated Draper in
Boston by over 10000.
Missouri.
st. Louis, Nov. 4.-Missouri has
given it's electoral votes to William
]. Bryan by a plurality estimated at
10000 to $4,000. The governorship is
in doubt, though William S. Cowherd,
Dem.), is leading Herbert S. Hadley
Rep), on the early returns. Cowherd,
however, is running behind Bryan,
and there is a possibility that he is
defeated.
Returns from the state are coming
in exceedingly slow. Scattering re-
turns from about one-rnird of the
counties outside of st. Louis give
Bryan 34,737, and Taft 1851. This,
however, is but one-tenth of the vote
of the state.
At midnight it is impossible to
make an estimate on the outcome OF
the senatorial situation in the Demo

Maryland.
Baltimore, Nov. 4.-That Baltimore
city is Taft's by about LOO, that the
Democrats have elected Gill, Talbot
Republicans Mudd ana Kronmiller, rs
all that can be said with any degree
of certainty we'll after midnight. Re-
turns from the counties are coming
in very slowly. Democrats claim the
state for Bryan by small majority
The uncertainty in western Mary
land is shown by the fact that IA pre-
cincts in Allegheny county, that gave
Roosevelt 223 plurality, went this
time for Bryan by rs. Parts of that
section of the state are difficult Of
access, and the final result will not
be known for some time.
Idaho.
Boise, Idaho, Nov. Awhile only
meager returns have been received
from over the state, by more than 20,
900 Taft has carried the state, and il
is also indicated that H. Brady, Re
publican, for governor, and the entire
Republican ticket has been elected
by a majority of 1000.
Kansas.
Topeka, Nov. 4.-ReturnS from out

ernor, running slightly behind Taft

NAL battle of High Bridge, which was

ment of ballots were marshalled.

rality of $1,000. CHAMBERS plurality

mately $4,000. The vote of two years
ago was increased by about 100000
Chanler surprised the Democratic
leaders by an Unexpectedly large vote
in the rural districts, but lost tremen
dously in the city of Greater New
York, where his followers had ex
pected at least 100000 plurality.

can 1O3 and Democrats At, gain Of

New York, Nov. AT IL O'Clock
last night Democratic State Chairman
VIM. ]. Connors, who with othel
prominent democrats, had received
the returns at state headquarters
said:
81 concede the election of Taft and
Hughes. Taft pulled Hughes through
Chanler ran ahead of the rest of the
ticket. We did very well upstate
but thought we would do better IN
the greater city. Although we have
no exact figures on the remainder o.
the state ticket, it looks as though
it would follow the head and be de
feated."
