C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1906. PRICE 5c. TIM15S ALL ELECTED SAVE Afternoon Returns from New York So Indicate THE COUNT VERY SLOW Eight Counties Still to bo Heard From Would Not Change 'the Re sult, It Is Believed, Even Should They Give the Votes They Cart for Hlggins. (By the Associated Press.) New York, Nov. 8, , P. M. The election of the entire state democratic ticket with the exception of governor is Indicated by the latest returns re ceived. The closest contest appears to be between Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, democratic and independ ence leaguo nominee forv lieutenant governor, and M. Linn Bruce, his republican opponent. Returns al ready in, however, show that even if In the counties missing Bruce re ceived a number of votes equal to those given Hlggins two years ago Chanler would still have a plurality slightly In excess of 3,400. it now seems likely that the remaining democratic candidates will have a wider margin than Chanler With eight counties still to be heard from Chanler has a lead of Hi, 050 over Bruce. The missing counties are Essex, Niagara, Onta rio, Orange, Fulton, Monroe, Rock land and Yates. Hamilton county, which reported during the forenoon, showed that Bruce led Chanler In that county by 120 votes, and his vote in Herkimer county exceeded that of Chanler by 2,758. This gain for Bruce was particularly offset, however, by revised figures from some of the counties previously re ported. 'WBlWt Wn ,8y Nothing. Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman of the republican state committee, was at headquarters today. He said he was not In a position to make any state ment and would make no claims or concessions.

Murphy, leader of Tam many Hall was asked if he was satis fied with the result of the election. "1 am not." he replied, "I wanted the head of the ticket elected. "Are you satisfied with Tammany's work?" he was asked. "Yes, we did our part, all we could do," he replied. Forenoon Report From New York New York, Nov. 8. With nearly complete returns from fifty-one of the sixty-one counties in the state, Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, the democratic and independence league candidate for lieutenant governor, has a lead over M. Linn Bruce, the republican candl date, of 20,657. The missing counties are ICssex, Hamilton, nerklmer, Nlag ara, Ontario, Orange, Fulton, Monroe, Rockland and Yates. Estimated returns from Orange county give Bruce a plurality of 2,766 and an estimate from Monroe credits Bruce with. a lead of 3,600 over Chan ler. These figures, deducted from Chanter's whole plurality, leaves him with a lead of 14.291 with eight coun ties still to be heard from.

BlOunt to the House. The news that came in to demo cratic state headquarters today was equally as gaod as that of yesterday, and even perhaps it little better. KOturns lro.n tut! east are as en couraging as those from the west. The republicans carried only one county east of Raleigh, and ihat was Sampson, tite old home of Butler, and the republican majority there is rodueed hy over two hundred. True the member of the limine from Brunswick will be a republican, but the democrats carried the rest, of the county ticket and the state lickat, arid the republican majority for mouther of the legislatu was very small. And ii must lie mentioned Dare is still not heard from. Senator Simmons learned that this morning that Washington county has gone democratic, and Thos. W. Blount comes to the legislature by a majority of 50. No more news has come from Ala mance, and it will take the official count there, it appears, to settle it. (Jain Two Senators. More good tidings from the west. Senator Simmons received a telegram from R. T. Claywell at Morganton this morning that enabled him to announce joyfully that the 34th senatorial district had gone demo cratic by a majority of 190, and Messrs. Davis and Wood will come to the next senate. Two years ago this district went republican by 52 votes. Here is how the vote stands in the 34th according to Mr. Claywell's news: Republican Vote. Caldwell Ucniocratic Voti Alexander McDowell Burke. . . . . . . . . liiO 15 J 0 3U0 ',4 0 Democratic majority 190 The republicans will have only live votes in the state senate of 1907. As to the house of representatives the democrats gain live, the mem bers from Ashe. Stanly, Alexander. Polk and Graham, and possibly one more, while they lose only one, Per son, and possibly two, Alamance. The rest of the democratic ticket In Person was elected by about 350. The defeat of the democratic candi date for the house was therefore not really a republican victory. It was caused by a little personal quarrel among the democrats there. Latest Prom Highth. Senator Simmons this morning re ceived the following telegram from H. N. Haekett at Wilkesboro: "Wilkes 73!) for Blackburn, Ashe 102 for Haekett." A telegram to Mr. Simmons from H. G. Chatham at Elkin in Surry was received this morning. It was: "Hackett's majority: Alleghany 310, Ashe 100, Alexander 5, Iredell 922, Stanly 250, Cabarrus 194, Rowan estimated 1,000. Blackwell's majority: Wilkes 730, Surry 370. Caldwell 1 r.O, Watauga 200. A conservative estimate of the eighth district in the light of the latest news is as follows: Haekett. Blackburn. Alexander 5 .... Alleghany 292 Ashe 102 . .... Cabarrus 192 Iredell 922 Bowan 975 .... Stanly 165 Caldwell 147 Surry 379 Watauga 300 Wilkes 739 2653 1565 1565 Hackett's majVy 1078 Blackburn's majority In Watauga may be only 200. but as there is a re port that It is 300, the latter figure has been used. ' Carwford's Majority. Mr. Claywell, In his telegram, says! that the democrats carry McDowell by 25. Last night Senator Simmons had counted McDowell as giving Britt a majority of. 150. So the latest estimate from the tenth congressional district is as follows: Crawford Brltt Majority Majority, Buncombe . ... 5.50 .... Cherokee 2 5 .... Graham B5 .... i Haywood 800 .... Jackson 50 .... Macon 25 .... Polk r.O .... Rutherford ...Dir. Transylvania . . 75 .... Clay vt 20 Henderson .... ... 350 McDowpII 2.r .... Swain 400 214 0 770 Crawford's maj'y 1370 County. Crawford's majority in Haywood may be more than 200. Jackson and Macon may give their majorities to Britt in stead of Crawford, but there a balance would be struck. The majorities In Henderson and Swain arc those for the county ticket, and there may be changes there. CANVASSING THE COUNTY VOTE TODAY The county board of elections met at noon today in the court house to canvass the county election returns, and at the time of going to press they are still at work, and the probability is they will not be through before night.

MILORD'S LOVE DEEP, DEATHLESS Bool's Counsel Thos Assures the Court HE ATTACKS KELLEY Says That if the Countess Were Per mitted to Follow the Dictates of Her Own Conscience, a Reconcili ation Could Be Effected Case Adjourned for a Week. (By the Associated Press.) Paris, Nov. 8. The hearing of the Castellane divorce suit was re sumed before Judge Dltte in the palace of justice this morning. Maitre Bonnet, of counsel for Count Boni Be Castellane, consumed less than an nour In concluding his argument lor the count. He con- iniied his criticisms of Edmoud Kel- ley, the American lawyer of the countess, and persisted in his de mand for an examination of the wit nesses in order, he said, to permit of the case being probed to the bot tom. Counsel added that in the event of a divorce being granted the count will ask for permission to see his children two days each week and a month in summer and that the countess be enjoined from taking the children to America without his consent. So far as money was concerned nothing would be much altered by a divorce. It would only mean final financial ruin for the count. It was impossible for hlra to meet his out standing obligations, amounting to $24,000 a year. The remainder of his ancestral inheritance would have to be sold. If his wife desired to present him in such a light before tne world he had nothing more to say. Nevertheless it seemed only just that he should be reimbursed the $240,000 which he obtained from a legacy and the sale of his share of the ancestral forest of Bueny and w"ilch was contributed to the household expenses. Counsel concluded with asserting that he was convinced that the countess, if free to obey the dictates of her conscience, would yet consent to a reconciliation and solemnly assured the court of the count's re spect, esteem and undying affection tor his wife. The Reply of Maitre Cruppl. Maitre Cruppi, for the countess, in reply charged the count's lawyer with seeking to divert attention from the issue at the bar by making an unprecedented and baseless at tack upon Mr. Kelley, who, counsel declared, enjoyed a standing in the United States and France which made his defense superfluous, he having been counsel for the Ameri can embassy In Paris for the past twenty years. Maitre Cruppl read a letter from Mr. Kelley denying the charges made against him and say ing that until the names of the per sons mentioned were introduced by counsel for the count he had never heard of those he was supposed to have bribed. Several sharp passes between Maitre Cruppl and Maitre Bonnet took place, one of them compelling the Intervention of Judge Dltte. Fi nally Maitre Bonnet asked the court to postpone the case for a fortnight in the hope of a final reconciliation, but the judge refused to do so and adjourned the hearing for a week. The court after hearing the con clusion of the public prosecutor next week, w'll announce its deelson, either for a divorce or for an examination of the witnesses. The creditors case, in which Count Boni, the Countess Do Castellane, and George J. 'Gould, as trustee, are made joint defendants, was called after recess today. This suit, which Is brought by six creditors, involves J5.4O0.0OO. Maitre Millerand of counsel for the( creditors, contended that the coun-f tcss, under the regime of separation of property, was responsible with her husband for the expenses of the household. He spoke In an extremely sarcastic vein, saying that his clients were particularly glad to learn that the countess did not Intend to fly to American. Maitre Millerand ridiculed the attempts of opposing counsel to depict her as living in a state of pov erty. The count, he asserted, had not squandered all her money. The coun tess should pay her share of extrava gances. In a single month she spent $120,000. The celling of her bedroom cost $160,000 with furniture to match. Maitre Millerand of counsel of the creditors, did not finish his plea and the case was adjourned ,for a fortnight I
