REPUBLICANS Visnl
 THROUGHOUT STATE
Gain Control of Lower House
 by 95 to 54

The Republicans in the state of New York have captured the only redoubt that was possible to capture in this election. The only state ticket in the ton to the lower house of the state legislature. A year ago-the Demo cratic landslide year-the New York assembly stood: S7 Democrats to 63 Republicans. The returns now indi- cate that this year the assembly will stand: Republicans, 95; Democrats, 54; Socialist, l.
 This means 1stinging rebuke. ap- parently, to the administration of Governor Dix. In passing, it may be observed that many Republicans will regard the winning of the assembly as of doubtful value, in view of the presi- dential and more important state cleo tion in 1912. To be sure, the Republic an assembly can checkmate a Demo cratic senate and make 1t impossible for the Democratic governor to either vote or approve.
 So far as the returns show, the most interesting features of the election in the state are the victory of the So- cialists in the municipal election in Schenectady and the defeat of Thomas most intimate friends, for mayor of Auburn.
 The municipal election in Schenec- tady was indeed remarkable, inas- much as it is the first time in the his- tory of politics in the state of New York that the Socialists carried an entire ticket of any kind. Schenec- tady is the seat of the works of the American Locomotive company.
 In New York city there has been a final fight between the allied forces of the Republican party and those follow ing the lead of William Randolph Hearst against straight out Tam many judiciary and county ticket. It seems as if had the election been of the homogeneous mayoralty kind, as 1t was when Hearst ran against McClel- Ian for mayor. Hearst would have come almost as near winning as he did then, when the outcome was de cided in the courts. zs.
 The canvass of the judiciary and county tickets in Manhattan and the Bronx have been completed. and from supposed Tammany plurality of from 5000 to 35,000 the final figures show that the heaviest plurality for the judiciary ticket was given to IFrancis K. Pendleton, the son of the late Governor Pendleton of Ohio. His plurality will be about 5000. Hotch- kiss, the nearest man to him on the l Judiciary ticket, will win by about 5000, and Cohalan, Charles F. Mur. phys particular friend and adviser, Is elected by an apparent plurality of only 2,0O0. The Democratic county ticket, as indicated by the plurality for sheriff, who heads the ticket, will be about 6,o00. The successful candi- date for this office is Julius Harbur' ger, the personal candidate of the Hon. Timothy D Sullivan and long time Tamnsany ofacehclder.
 Although Hearst and his Republican allies lost in New York county, they made victory all along the line In Brooklyn and Kings county. The Flu sion county tdcRet there will probably have plurality of between E2,000 and 15y0O0 with the exception of CrOpsey Fusion for district attorney and for mer police commissioner under Mayer Gaynor, who ds running against Dis trfet Attorney Clarke, perhaps tho strongest Democrat tn Kings county Indicatiains are that Cropsey"s major ity will not be tar from 5,ocO. Colo nei RoOseveft's county of Nassau which last year gave a majority tc Martin w. Litfleton over Colone ROosevest's particular congressman Cocks, returns a Republican plurality of 2,0o0, which fs a reversal of about 5000 votes -" s--
