RERUB CAN; REPUBLICANS STILL IN CONTROL The Election of The Republican Ticket in New York Practically Certain, REPUBLICANS CARRY THE HOUSE. There Was Little Excitement .in the Election of Tuesday and Results Show Few Surprises. Tuesday's election passed off quiet ly in all sections oC.the tcomty. The I latest returns obtainable indicate that the republicans will have a small ma jority in the next Congress, though the democratic gains have been heavy. New York seems to have gone.republi can by a small majority1. The South went solidly democratic. The voting was light everywhere. ' i NEW YORK. ' .,- New York, Special. Although the inofficial reports from the State appar ently showed Odell's election by 19,79 plurality, lr. Coler, his Democratic op ponent, refused to concede defeat, de claring that he wished to have, the offi cial count. Mr. Coler's statement was followed by a rather sensational an nouncement from Secretary Mason, of. the State Democratic Committee, that he refused to concede Odell's election; that fraud had robbed Coler of many votes up the State and that Senator Hill and Chairman Campbell, of the State "committee, would come to New Yorx this evening to decide on a plan of action. About the time these state ments appeared a rumor was circu lated that Coler intended to make a contest in the courts, and simultane ously the Evening Journal' issued an extra edition, declaring that former Senator Hill, Charles F. Murphy and Hugo McLaughlin claimed Coler's elec tion. This report, together with the statements made by Mr. Coler and Sec retary Mason, have caused consider able excitement in the city. Mr. Coler's statement follows: "I think personally it would be , a good, thing to watch the official count up the State closely. , Suppose the Dem ocratic ticket had received say in the neighborhood of 150,000 majority in Greater New York,- there was nothing to have stopped the Republicans from claiming the upper section of theJState by 200,000. What the Democratic'party needs up the State is tried and true material who will look carefully after the party's interests. I don't mean by anything I have said either last night orthis morningthat I in any.manner conceded the election of my opponent. I want to wait for the official count, for my latest advices are that the vote is very close. I "am hopeful of receiv ing today news that will put a new complexion on affairs in this State." John A. Mason, of the State commit tee, speaking for the committee, issued nothing. Odell's election is simply a claim, We will not admit his election until every defective ballot or alleged, befective ballot has been scrutinized, and every vote that of right belongs to our party is counted. The alleged de fective ballots uncounted for the Dem ocratic ticket by Republican inspectors are more than enough to elect Coler. We have evidence of wholesale de- ; bauchery and corruption in . Orange, Oneida and Albany and Erie counties, and in the cities along the New York -Central Railroad. The defective bal lots and the chicanery practiced on the three judicial districts where the Republican State machine bentevery energy-to elecj; Attorney Generalx Da vis is alone sufficient to change the result. We shall contest every foot of ground." , David B. Hill and Frank Campbell will be at State headquarters this evening and a meeting of the State committee will be held either this even ing or tomorrow and a plan of action will be formulated. Col. Dunn, chairman of the State Re publican committee, when informed to day of the report that the Democrats threatened to contest the election, said: "If they start anything of that kind 11TA vs. ill nrfvrsN 4-1svm nil 2. --.A.

The polls closed in Delaware at 6 p. m. indica tions are that the vote in the! State was lighter than two years ago.

At 9 p. m., the returns were being received slowly. , Reports from over one-half i of the precincts in the first district Of Wil mington indicate the election of Dr. H. G.
