gress, While Many Other Up- turns Occur in the State of
 New York

New York, November s.-John A. Dix, a business man and the first democratic nominee elected in Is years. will be the next governor of New York He was chosen by the people today over Henry L. Stimson, republican, for whom Theo- dore Roosevelt stumped the state, by a plurality based on nearly complete re- turns from 55,000 to 5000. New York city gave him a plurality of more than 100000. while Stimson came down to the Bronx with about 4o.0o0. leaving a sub stantial lead for the democratic nomi- nee.
 Thomas F. Conway, the democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, ap- pears to have swept into office only slightly behind Dix. Returns were lack ing late tonight conclusively to show who takes the lesser state offices, but in- dications pointed to democrats
 The normal republican majority up- state was greatly reduced The inclem- ent weather tended to cut down the rural vote and Stimsons estimated plurality to the borders of New York city-about 40.000--is less by 10000 than the upstate vote boiled by Hughes in 1908.
 Both the assembly and senatorial re- turns were strongly democratic and there were some notable upsets in even the congressional districts. Representative Herbert Parsons.y lifelong friend and political associate of Theodore Roosevelt, and formerly chairman of the republican county committee. was busted by Jeff ferson M Levy. Representative W. W. Cocks of Nassau county, Roosevelt s home seat, was tipped out by Martin W. Littleton. William s. Bonnet was defeated for. Congress by Henry George. 1 Jr., a son of the political economist. Serene F, Payne, father of the tariff bill, was reelected, but his home town, Au- | burn, went for Dix, and Vice President sherman's candidate for Congress was defeated by a democrat. Representative Hamilton Fish, republican, gave ground to Richard b. Cornell, a democrat Not only did Colonel Roosevelt lose on the | state ticket and his candidates for Con- gress in Nassau county but his home town went for Dix and the democrats | jubilantly shouted that they had beat him to a frazzle''
 | In New ork city the democrats. with one or two exceptions, held all their own in assembly and senate districts and then carried the war into the enemy's territory. Senator George B. Agnew, joint sponsor for the Hughes enti-racing bills, was defeated by Joh T c. Sake.
 There were even indications that the democrats might seize a working ma jorfty in the Legislature and dictate the nomination of the next junior United States Senator to succeed Senator | Chauncey M. Depew. but more com plete returns will be necessary to set tie this issue.
 Albany county. of which their lead CT is William Barnes, IT,, who fought Roosevelt at Saratoga, gave Dix a slight plurality. Other old guard strongh olds were for stimson by re. duced pluralities.
 William R. Hearst independence league nominee for lieutenant gover- nor; ran poor third. With incom- plete returns he poled less than 50,00C votes in New York city as against 27s,514 for Conway and 1Ss,03S for schoeneke, the republican nominee
 John J. Hopper, independence league candidate for governor, boiled less than 5000 votes upstate and in New York city he ran well behind Hearst.
 Ninety five assembly districts report ed out of total of 15o showed a dem- ocratic gain of 33 or little more than one district in every three.
 Thirty seven Senate districts re- ports out of total of s1 showed a democratic gain of To-
 If the full returns show a correS- bonding increase the democrats will gain 51 seats in tthe assembly and 1S in the senate. They now have 51 votes in the assembly and 16 in the senate so that. assuming they make the gain estimated above, they will have In the next assembly 1o1 votes Unnecessary to majority, 76) and in the next senate 2s votes Unnecessary to majority, 28) tnn l~s> t>t %f, <.xyf United States senator to succeed Depew the senior senator.
 These figures will not irnprobably be reduced by the full returns fnasmuch as the delayed districts are mainly up- state.
