Avalanche in State
At Republican headquarters it was
asserted that their entire state ticket |
and a majority Of their candidates for
both Houses Of the Legislature also |
has been elected.

Within two hours after the polls clos
ed Democrats generally admitted de-
feat for Gov. Glynn. The clung to
the hope, however, that Gerard would
be elected.

that he would carry Greater New York
by 10000 and that Mr.. Whitman
would come down to Harlem with no
more than a plurality Of $4,000. These
hopes soon were dissipated. Virtually
returns from the city indi-
Gated that Glynn probably would have
a plurality of between $4,000 and Co.
300 here and that Whitman's upstate
ead would be well upward of IFS 900.
