Charles Evans Hughe?, Republican, was elected Gov . : :ior of the Stale of New York by a plurality of 63,383 votes over Will jam Randolph. Hearst, Democratic jitul Independence League candidate. Mr. Hvarst ran behind his ticket ic Now York, Kings, Erie and Dutch ess Counties and in scattering dis tricts throughout the State. In Kings Chanter ran 20,000 ahead of Hearst, in New York County it was estimated ; hat -Hearst was from' 10,000 to 12, 0 30 votes t shied the rest- of the vieke-t. When notified of his success Mr. l!us.hes said: "My feelings are not these of elation, out those of .-responsibility." V. R. Hearst, cave this statement regarding the election: 'In view of the result I have only to repeat what I have said in my speeches. I am e-nli&cted in this fight against government '""by trusts and ; orrnpt corporations and will fight it so the end.. ... .. "Cut I will serve .in, the lead or in -the ranks, just exactly as the people" desire, and as earnestly and loyally in one place as in the other. "The people have decided to retain the Republican party in power, f will make the fight in tho ranks, "therefore, and as a private citizen f?o my best to promote the interests ; my fellow citizens." William R. Hearst carried all five horoughs of Greater New York,' and vent to the Bronx with a plurality of 72.027, divided as follows: Manhat tan and the Bronx, 5S,133; Kings, 315; Queens, C72S; Richmond, 851. Hughes came to the Bronx with 126.546. The feature of the voting was the big poll for Mr. Hearst in the large ities and in ihe manufacturing towns. Such cities as Buffalo, Rochester, Klmira, Oswego. Rome and Pough i;epsie gave materially reduced Re publican majorities. In the western part of the State this Republican de fection extended into the rural dis tricts also, such counties as Catta raugus, Chautauqua, the rural dis tricts of Erie and other counties nearly cutting the normal Republican majority in half. , Hughes carried all the up-State counties with the exception of Che mung, which gave. Hearst 300 plurality;- Hamilton, which gave him 116; Niagara, which gave him 300 plurality, and Schoharie, where tho Democratic candidate got a plurality ff 250. la the State of New York above 'Westchester the vote was almost 100,000 less than two years ago for Governor. : Hughes received 70,000 Hss than Higgins in 1904, and Hearst received about 30,000 less than Her rick. Complete returns will prob ably show that more than 110,000 voters above the, Bronx did,, not take any part in the campaign, which is io unusual thing, when the intensity of the political fight is considered. The Legislature is Republican. In the Senate there will be thirty-two Republicans, eleven Democ 'ts, seven Independence League, and, one dis trict i3 in, doubt. The Assembly will have 'at . least 100 Republican mem--bersand the Democrats and Inde ?er.dence League combined about fifty.'. r In New York City the Judiciary Nominators' ticket received .scanty support. The Tammany Judges are all elected. Tho Assembly and Sen ate division in New York City will be about the same as it is now. Grady defeated Roek.easi Jy. ... , ... ., . . In the State the Republicans have carried their usual number of Assem brym'en and; Seniors, .and; the-Legis-" lature will bo largely Republican. The latest figures make this the prob able division: Assembly, Republi cans, ninety-five; Democrats, fifty five.; Senate, Republicans, thirty-two; Democrats, nineteen. Tbe hardest Congressional fight in the State was in the Thirty-fourth District, where James W. Wadsworth was defeated by Peter A. Porter, who "an on a Democratic and Independ ent ticket. Wadsworth was chair aan of the House Committee on Ag riculture and opposed President Roosevelt's Meat Inspection "bill last winter. He- had a sharp eontroversy vith tho President. , Representative George Southwick, ;l Albany, and Representative James 8. Sherman, of Utica, had very hard fights. NEW JERSEY. Trenton, N. J. New Jersey' elect ed a Republican Assembly and three out of six Republican Senators, but Killed by Lightning Arrester. Paul Brown was killed at Millville, N. J., while demonstrating a light ning arrester on the new electric line of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad. Fifteen hundred volts passed through his body. Dreadnought Ready For Action. Dreaunought, Britain's, most for midable fighting ship, was designated ts flagship of the new Home Fleet, which i to be kept ready for imme diate action. GOVERNOR 1 -r ' by reduced majorities. The Legislat ure remains Republican on joint bal lot. Hudson and Essex counties went Democratic Newark elected a Democratic Mayor. Eleven Democra tic Assemblymen were elected in Es sex County. A3 this is United States Senator John P. Dryden's home coun ty, the result may prevent his re election, although a Republican is sure to be chosen as his successor. In the Congressional election the Re publicans carried six districts and the Democrats four. This is a gain of three for the Democrats over the last Congressional delegation, which was made up of nine Republicans and one Democrat. In the Eighth District L Gage Pratt (Dem.) defeated Henrv J. Gottlob (Rep.), and in tho Ninth District Eugene W. Leake (Dem.) won over Charles E. Pickett (Rep.)J In the Tenth District James A. Ham ill (Dem J defeated Howard B. Cruso (Rep.). This district, was re present ed ia the last Congress by a Demo crat. Ia the Sixth District William Hughes (Dem.) defeated George H. Burke . ( Rep. ) Jacob Hauseiing, Democratic candidate for Mayor of Newark, was elected over Walter S. Howarth, Republican, and George W. Tompkins, Independent Citizen. The Democrats also made gains in tho Board of Aldermen and school board. PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia. By. a landslide !n every part of Pennsylvania Edwin S. Stuart, Republican candidate for Governor, was elected by a majority of near 80,000 over Lewis S. Emerj-, Jr., fusion candidate. In Philadel phia the City party went down to de feat. Samuel P. Rotan, tho organi zation candidate for District Attor ney, winning by a majority of 40, 0G0. In the thirty-two Congressional districts the Republicans have won twenty-six and the Berr.or.rfita siv LThe Prohibitionists polled a little inure iua.1 ou.uuu votes. Jricmer Li. Casele, the Prohibitionist nominee for Governor, announced that he would give up politics for good. There was no disorder in Philadel phia. The police obeyed the Shern law and did not go within fifty feet of. tho polling booths. CONNECTICUT. New Haven. All five Republican Representatives will be returned from Connecticut, and Rollin S. Woodruff. Republican, of New Haven, is elected 1 Governor by a majority not much less than in the Roosevelt tidal wave of 1904. The Republican State tick et majority will probably range from i 13,000 to 20,000. Both Senate and : House of Representatives in the Gen eral Assembly will be overwhelming ly Republican. Archibald McNeil has, however, defeated Allan W. Paige for Senate in Bridgeport. Reprcsen-tative-at-Large George A. Lilley, ran ahead of the State ticket. In Anso nla, the Democratic labor candidate, Stephen Charters, i3 elected Mayor, and in Derby the Democratic nomi nee, A. F. Howe, is elected. Mayor. At 11 o'clock 145 towns out of 165; give R. S. Woodruff, Republican, for Governor, 40,059; Charles F. Thayer, Democrat, 27,799. Tho Connecticut Congressional delegation, all Repub licans, is, at large, George L. Lilley; First District, E. Stevens Henry; Sec ond District, Nehemiah D. Sperry; Third District, E. J. Hill, and Fourth District, Edwin M. Higgins. MASSACHUSETTS. Boston, Mass. Curtis Guild, Jr., the-Republican Governor, was re elected by about 34,000 over Mdran, the Democratic candidate, in Boston, and although he made heavy gains in 'Oivtsido'iftiil' towns ho unable to overcome the normal Republican plu rality. Gerry Brown, the Independ ence League candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, who wa3 also nomin ated by the Democrats," has run ahead of the ticket. The next Legislature will be Republican by the usual large majority in both houses, and this will insure the election of United States Senator W. Murray Crane, of Dal ton. RHODE ISLAND. Providence, R. I. Tho election of James II. Higgins, Democrat, Gov ernor by a plurality of at least 6000 is conceded. The Democrats hopo to land their whole, State . ticket. In thirty-five districts Higgins gained 1000 over the Democratic candidate last year, and the cities are ac knowledged to be Democratic Re turns indicate that the Republicans will control the Assembly, outside .towns which were considered, doubt ful having been carried by them.' Democratic Mayors are elected In FAMINE IN CHINA. Ten Million Persons Near Starvation and Serious Disorder Feared. Shanghai, China. Missionaries re port a severe famine in North Ki angsu. About ten millions, persons are on the brink of starvation. The local magistrates are preventing tbe people from leaving the region, but are taking no steps to provide them with food. Hitherto there have only been slight disorders, but it is feared they will become raoro serious. Providence and Woonsocket, a Re. publican in Central Falls and Repub lican gains are reported in Pawtuck et, though the city is Democratic. It looks as if D. L. D. Granger, Demo crat, will retain his seat in Congress, as will Adin B. Capron, Republican. NEW HA3IPSHTEE. Concord. N. II. The Republicans elected Charles M. Floyd Governor ! over .Nathan C. Jameson (Dem.). Congressmen Cyrus A. Sulloway and Frank D. Currier, Republicans, were again successful. The Legislature will be Republican on joint ballot by over 100 majority, thus insuring the election of a Republican Senator. DELAWARE. Wilmington, Del. The Republi cans have carried Delaware and elected Burton for Congress, over Marvel, Democrat. They will also control the Legislature that.will elect a successor to ij. S. Senator Alee, Re publican. OHIO. Cleveland. - The indications ara that tho Republican State ticket has been elected by a plurality of at least 30,000. In the Congress fight it 13 estimated that twenty Republicans havo been elected and one Democrat. In Cuyahoga County the indications are that the Republican State ticket has been carried by a safe plurality and that Paul Howland has been elected Congressman from the Twen tieth District. Congressman -.Burton's re-election Is certain, as he had no opponent. Attorney-General Wade Ellis, at Columbus, issued a state ment in which he said the returns in dicated that the Republicans had car ried the State by 40,000. Returns received at 9 o'clock from twenty three precincts in the First Congres sional District now represented by Nicholas Longworth shows Long worth (Rep.) 3396, Bentham (Dem.) 2489, thus indicating Longworth's re-election by a majority much re duced from what he had two years ago. ILLINOIS. Chicago. Illinois, is Republican by about. 125,000. Cook County, in which! is Chicago, gave a Republican majority of about 40,000. Speaker Cannon was re-elected to Congress in the Danville, 111., district by a plu rality of 6000. The Legislature is Republican, Insuring the retiirn of Senator Cullom. The Hearst lfeders concede tho defeat of their local league, but express great satisfaction over having accomplished the down fall of the Democratic ticket, pariic ularly Gibbons for Sheriff. MISSOURI. St. Loui3, Mo. Indications seem to point to tho return of Missouri to the Democratic fold. Democratic leaders claim the -election of the en tire State ticket by 35,000, with a largo majority In the next Legisla ture, both in the Senate and in the House. Tho Democrats regain all of the seven Congressmen they lost in the slump of two years ago, and prob ably one more, though It will require later returns to confirm this. It looks now as if the Democrats will have probably thirteen of the sixteen Congressmen in the next House of Representatives, a gain of eight. The State Legislature will be in accord with Governor Folk. Congress StiU Republican. "Washington, D. C The Sixtieth Congress will be Republican. The majority in the House will be about 86, a falling off of 28. In tho Fifty ninth it was 114. The House will stand as follows: Republicans . . Democrats . . . , 150 Republican majority 86 The Republicans expected more of a cut In their majority. The Demo crats gained one in Maryland, two In Illinois and one in New Jersey. John Dalzell is re-elected in the Pittsburg district after a hard fight. He has normally a large majority, but his opponent was popular with organised labor and made a strong run. Representative Wadsworth, Chair man of the Agricultural Committee, who opposed the Meat Inspection bill advocated by President Roosevelt, was -defeated by Peter A. Porter in the Thirty-fourth New York District. He wa3 nominated by the Democrats and Independents. "Marse Sydney? Mudd, one ,of the characters of the House, won out in Maryland despite a vigorous fight against him by Samuel Gompers and the Federation of Labor. . , Mr. Gompors campaign did not re duce Speaker Cannon's normal ma jority in the Danville district of Illi nois. John J. Gardner, of New Jersey, who was also opposed by Mr. Gomp ers, wa3 elected by 8000 majority. Representative. Longworth, the President's aon-in-Iaw, was another man marked by Gompers. The pro tests of Cincinnati workiagmen forced him to relinquish r his-designs against Longworth, who i3 re-elected. The President's daughter attended her husband's meetings, and was a figure in his campaign. Robert' Baker is defeated in Brook lyn on. tho anti-pass issue. Morris Hilquitt, the Socialist, did not suc ceed in breaking into Goldfogle's dis trict in New York City. One of the surprises of the election is the defeat of Joseph W. Babcock, of Wisconsin, formerly Chairman of the Republican Congressional Com mittee.' Attempts have been raade many times to defeat Babcock, but they have aivays failed. 'The La Follette men are opposed to him, and cut him badly two years ago. ALABAMA. Montgomery, Ala. Returns indi cate an overwhelming victory for the entire Democratic State ticket and nominees for Congress. The vote was light. UTAH. Salt Lake, Utah. r. The Republi cans in Utah elected their State tick et by the usual plurality, returning Joseph Howell to Congress and elect ing Joseph 13. Frick Justice of. the Surreme Court. OKLAHOMA. Guthrie, Okla. The constitution of the new State of Oklahoma will be written by Democrats. Vernon Whiting, secretary of the Oklahoma Republican Central Committee, con- cedes the Democrats the three dele-i gates, while Chairman Jess Dunn, of tho Democratic Committee, says there; will be at least seventy-eight Demo cratic delegates on the floor of the convention. Republican managers admit that Oklahoma proved a great disappointment. The "unknown" quantity of the Indian Territory was a concession to the Democrats, but nine . Oklahoma districts, counted on by the Republican leaders, were car ried by the opposition. The OsageJ TVTatio-n n1r.ctf.rl turn nsmnprnta Thn.1 Nation elected two Democrats. Indians as a general rule voted the Democratic ticket. . , tr - SOUTH CAROLINA. Charleston,' S. C.

Twelve constitu tional amendments were ' voted -on. the most important being the author ization of an $8,000,000 bond issue by New Orleans to complete the sew erage, water and drainage systems This was carried by a large "ma jorlty. VIRGINIA. Richmond, Va. Tho election In Virginia passed off quietly, with lit tle interest exhibited in the State, which ia safely Democratic. The Re publicans will probably win out in , the Ninth Congress District which is ', nominally Republican, by a dimin- ! ished plurality. WEST VIRGINIA. -- Wheeling, W. Va. Partial returns from scattered counties in West Vir ginia show the probable success of all five of the Republican Congressional nominees by the following pluralities: Hubbard (Rep.), First District, 3000 or more; Sturgis (Rep.), Second Dis trict, by 1500 or under; Gains (Rep.) by 3500 to 4000; Woodyard (Rep.) by 2000 or under; Hughes (Rep.), in the Fifth, by 3000 or more. The Legislature will be Republican, with tho present joint ballot majority of 57, Insuring the re-election of Sena to Elklns. MICHIGAN. Detroit, Mich. Based on scatter ing returns received at 8 o'clock the Republican State Central Committee estimates Governor Warner's major ity at about 100,000. He has car ried by a majority of 647 the cities of Lansing, . Hillsdale and : Adrian, which he lost in 1904 by 172 votes. The vote is only about ' two-thirds' that of 19 CI. ' . " MINNESOTA. , St. Paul, Minn. Returns received by the Democratic State' headquar ters indicated a landslide for John son, Democratic candidate for : Gov ernor. The first two precincts out in the State heard from show" decided Democratic gains. Dodge Centre, Minn., gives Johnson 110 and? Cole (Rep.) 102. Thi3 same precinct two years ago gave Johnson 58 and Dunn (Rep.) 147. Twenty-eight scattered precincts in the State, including some in Minneapolis and St. - Paul, give Johnson (Dem.) for Governor, 2222; Cole (Rep.) 1209; gain for Johnson over two years ago of 684. J. W. Law3on, manager of the press bureau of tho Republican State Central Com mittee, at S o'clock, wired the Cole people in the State that -the election was a landslide for Johnson. COLORADO. Denver, Col.- Buchtel, the Repub lican candidate, carried the. State by from 15,000 to 30,000. His majority in Denver County was 10,000, and though Democratic gains in other parts of the State were expected to offset this somewhat, the Adams sup porters wero disappointed. : WYOMING. : Cheyenne, Wyo. Tho entire .Re publican ticket, headed by Governor Brooks, was elected by majorities of not' Iqss than 2000. The Republi cans also elect the member 'of Con gress and the Legislature, which will elect a United States Senator. SOUTH DAKOTA. t I Sioux Falls, S. D. Reports from the State are meagre, owing to the scratching of county tickets. Incom plete returns indicate the election of the Republican Congressmen and the Republican State ticket by not less than 35,000. , .. i TEXAS. Austin, Texas. Notwithstanding excellent weather, the total vote case in the election was small,-comparatively speaking, not exceeding. 400, 000 votes,, all told, 135,000 of which represent the combined vote of tho Republican, the Reorganized Repub lican, Socialist, 'the- Socialist-Labor and the Prohibition parties.

As nearly as ; can bo told from early returns from ' Iowa Governor Cummins will be elected the third successive time by a safe but comparatively small ma jority. Some estimates are made of 40,000 plurality, but the opponents of Cummins say he will be lucky to get half that.
