The plurality OF Senator Harding
over Gov. Cox In the State is o57. 445,
with 203 of 1908 districts missing
The vote was Harding, 1,S35,513; Cox,
77S,06S.
The plurality Of United States Sem
ator James w. Wadsworth, Jr., over
Lieut.-Gov. Harry c. Walker is $685.
$685. with 2.190 districts missing. The
vote was: Wadsworth, 996,92s; Walker.
603.230. The final plurality of Senator
Wadsworth is estimated as 100000.
And. in the light Of the tremendous
Harding plurality, the fact that Gov.
Alfred e. Smith. Democratic nominee
for Governor. kept the plurality for
Nathan L. Miller down below $4,000 In
the State, was In it's way even more
amazing.
With 1877 districts missing (all in
Republican territory the Miller plu-
rslity was 5S.o47, according to returns
gathered by the Associated Prees.
The Republican State Committee had
figures from every county. which left
only seventy-six districts to be accounted
for. They gave Miller an upstate
plurality of 392.75S. with Smith plural
ity of 1851 in the greater city. This
would make Miller winner by 73,147.
Senator Harding carried every one of
the sixty-two Assembly districts in the
supposedly Democratic city of New York,
with the exception of the First In Man
haitian. The Cox plurality there was
only 416. Harding's plurality In the
rockribbed Tammany stronghold. the
Twelfth Assembly district In Manhattan.
Charles T. Murphy's "own," was 667..
Smiths Great Vote In city.
Gov Smith carried all the Assembly
districts In the city. running az we'll in
the strong Republican districts, the
Twenty-third in Manhattan and the
lWenty-nrst II Brooklyn, as he did in
many of the Democratic districts.
That Smiths wonderful plurality in
The city was due to Republican votes
was clearly shown by comparing It with
that obtained by other Democratic NOM
inees.
For instance, John f. Healy. Demo-
cratic nominee for State Treasurer was
beaten In the city by some $1,000. by
N. Monroe Marshall, Republican. who
comes from Malone. In the northern
tier. George r.. Fits. Democratic NOM
inee for Lieutenant-G Governor. had n
plurality of only about $4,000 over
Jeremiah Wood. Republican. in the city.
Charles w. Berry, Adjutant- General,
was beaten In Kings county, his home,
by James A. Wendell, his Republican
opponent for Comptroller. The vote was:
Wendell. 205,s69: Berry, 1881. Wen
dell also carried Queens.
Returns had not been tabulated on
~. 49, IL. -
State last night, but there was no uues-
ton that all the Republicans had been
elected.
This Included the election OF Justices
Frederick G. Crane and Emory A. Chas,
to the Court OF Appeals bench. Al.
though Justice Crane ran on the Demo.
cratic and Republican tickets. he go'
only 536,305 votes to 599,S41 for Just.co
Abram I. Elkus in the greater city
Justice Chase. second Republican candi-
de- te. ran third in the city.
Attorney-General Charles ID. Newton,
Republican candidate for reelection, car
red every one OF the five boroughs His
plurality over Frank II. Mott, Democrat
was 116.i05. Frank NJ. Williams, Re-
publican candidate for State Enginee;
ard Surveyor. carried the city by practi-
cally 5000. Such n crumpiing OF the
Democratic vote in the great Jeffer-
scnian stronghold of America was al
most revolutionary.
barnes District Is only One Lost.
The only bad spot in the state. from
the viewpoint of the Republican organi-
zation, was In Albany. where the ma
chine OF william Barnes received ter
rifle Jolt. The Republicans lost their
Congress candidate. Peter #. Ten Eyck.
Democrat. being elected. The Demo-
Gratis also got away with an Assembly
man In the Barnes bailiwlck. Harding
carried Albany by 10000, but Miller
got n plurality OF only 1857 In Albany
county. while Whitman got 10000 there
two years ago. Smith carried the three
cities In the county-Abany. Cohoes and
Waterviiet. This is generally looked
looked upon as the beginning OF the end
Of the Barnes reign In Albany
The Barnes Congress district. the
Twenty-elghth. was the only one In tho
entire State now held by the Republic
cans that was lost by them. They even
retained the Third. normally Democratic
which Representative John j. MacCrate
carried by a fiuke two years ago.
Representative Henry Goldfogle, Demo-
cratic. running also on the Republican
ticket was defeated by Meyer London,
Socialist. in the Twelfth district.

The Republicans on the other hand
gained the amazing number Of ten Con-
gress districts In the State--the Fifth.
Seventh. Eighth. Ninth. Fifteenth. Sew
enteenth. Nineteenth, Twenty
Twenty-thlrd and Twenty fourth.
The greatest overturn was In the FIJI
teenth district. Manhattan, where Rep
resentative Peter J. Dooling, who was
elected by 1900 plurality two years ago.
was beaten by Thomas j. Ryan, Repub-
iican. by $500.
Latest returns indicate that the Re-
publicans will have bigger majorities In
both the Senate and the Assembly than
for many years. In the Senate will be
Ss Republicans, IL Democrats and
Socialist, Edmund A. seidel. in the
Twenty-second district. The Bronx. In
the Assembly the Republicans will have
at least Ill members to 81 for the
Democrats and 6 for the Socialists.
