Hartman Beats Ives
In New York Race BY

BY the Associoied Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-New
Dealer Averell Hartman was
elected Governor of New York
in a thriller-diller finish early
today by only 10000 votes of
more than five million cast.
This was plurality Of about
one-f1fth Of / per cent for the
former Ambassador to Moscow
and Secretary of Commerce over
Senator Irving M. Ives, his Re-
publican opponent.
Returns for Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor from 10,416 of

Ives McGovern, Republicans,
2,519,877; Harriman-De Luca,
Democrat Liberal, 2,529, ,499;

Dor, 44,733.
But Representative Franklin
D. Roosevelt, jr., the Democrat
ic-Liberal candidate for attor-
ney general, went down to defeat
before Representative Jacob K.

Republican Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey. who did not seek re-
election, ordered police guard
placed over all voting machines
pending the official public re-
canvass Of the votes.
The election appeared to be
over midway through the count
ing last night, with Mr.. Harri-
man and his running mates
leading by around 100000 votes.
Mr.. Hartman claimed victory
and Senator Ives conceded de-
feat.
Then the gap began to shrink.
It was reduced to 100000, to
$4,000, to $4,000, to 10000, and
for a time it looked as if it
might disappear altogether.
| Senator Ives and Gov. Dewey
hastily went into a conference
at am. in Gov. Dewey's hotel
suite for a 'reassessment" of the
dramatic returns.
But by 3 am. it became ap-
parent that Mr.. Hartman had
indeed won the highest Office of
the State controlled by Gov.
Dewey for the last IL years.
It was the closest Governors
election in the modern history
of the State.
Mr.. Harriman's victory was
certain to project him into the
national political picture with
the 1856 presidential campaign
approaching.
But when an interviewer
asked him about his plans two
years hence, he replied:
"Oh, I'm for Adlai Stevenson"
Mr.. Hartman had been a
candidate against Mr.. Stevenson
for the Democratic presidential
nomination in 1852.
The cloSeness Of the outcome
indicated plainly that New York,
with As electoral votes, the most
of any State, will be a furious
battle-ground in the next ma
tional election.
Mr.. Hartman triumphed de-
spite personal intervention in the
New York campaign by Presi-
dent Eisenhower.

mile automobile tour through
city streets with Senator Ives
and Gov. Dewey shortly before

which he held eight major posts
under Presidents Roosevelt and

hardest on the unemployment
issue. He accused the Republi-
