showed the usual democratic major
tiles, light votes and but little con-
test.

New York, Nov. S.-Tammanl
Hall. not fully recovered from the
fright it got last night when its coun
ty ticket scraped through by the mar.
ITowest majority-with one exception
in the recent history Of the organ
ization; when its judicial ticket in
Brooklyn was showed under and
when the State assembly went strong
ly republican, got another fright to:
day when Samuel S. koenig, chair
man of the republican county COM
mittee, threatened to demand an Off
cial recount.
Sensational events are expected to
follow yesterdays elections through
out New Y ork state Perhaps the one
that will attract the. greatest nation
al attention will be the efforts OF
William Barnes, jr., Boss" of Al
bany, and chairman of the republi-
can state committee, to LeXow New
York City again.
The Socialist vote throughout New
York state was surprisingly large,
and for the first time a Socialist as
semblyman will be seen in Albany.
He is H. H. Merrill, of Schenectady,
where the Socialists likewise elected
Lunn, their candidate for mayor of
Schenectady, and are in complete con-
troll OF affairs in that city.
Baltimore, Md, Nov. S.-For the
second time since the civil war, Mary
land has elected republican govern
or.
With returns still incomplete, ow-
ing to the intricacies Of the ballots,
it is estimated that Phillips Lee
Goldsborough, republican candidate
for governor, has defeated Arthur
Pue German, jr., son of the late U. S.
Senator 4. P. German, and democrat
ic nominee for chief executive Of the
state, by majority of about 5000.
The success of the republican candi-
date is one Of the greatest political
shake-ups in the history of the state
and came like a thunderbolt out of
a clear sky. Goldsborough's victory
means a complete reorganization of
the democratic party in the old line
state.
From present indications it is be-
lieyed that the democrats will have
a majority in the State Senate, while
the House of Delegates is still in
doubt. The three constitutional
amendments-one for the disenfran-
of the negro-went down
to ignominous defeat.
In Baltimore city the republicans
elected; the sheriff and state attorney
while many other republican candi-
dates were successful.
Yesterdays republican success,
aside from "a purely state character,
is very significant, also, from ma
tional viewpoint, inasmuch as Colds
borough is known to have the sup
port Of the Taft administration. Mr..
Goldsborough's chief sponsor was
William F. Stone, collector of the
port of Baltimore, thrice sergeant
at arms Of republican national con-
ventions and administration leader
in this state. AS the governor Of the
state. Goldsborough will have wide
appointive powers, and with the weld
ing together of the republican ranks,
it would not be surprising to see
Maryland again in the G.. o. P. col
umn for president in 1912.
Newark, n. J., Nov. S.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson will havea work
ing majority of nineteen republican
members against him in the next ses-
sion Of the state legislature. Thirty
nine republicans were elected to the
assembly yesterday and twenty-one
democrats, the lower house thus far
having q working majority of eight
cen republicans. OF the eight state
senators who were voted for yester-
day five republicans were chosen and
three democrats. With the hold-overs
this gives to the republicans this
year eleven state Senators as against
a democratic representation of ten,
a majority of one for the former in
the upper house.
The swing toward a republican leg
islature was general throughout the
