HUGHES l.\ \[1V YORK Is Elected Governor Over William R. Hearst. PLURALITY IS OVER 60,000 Republicans Came to Greater New York With 124,000 Plurality, While Hearst Carried Metropolis By 75,000. Balance of State Ticket In Doubt. New York, Nov .7.?According to the latest returns, Charles E. Hughes, the Hepubliran candidate for governor,has been elected by 50,000 or more plural ity. Outside of Greater New York, with 160 election districts missing. Mr. Hughes had a plurality of about 124, 000 In Greater New York, with 69 election districts missing. William Randolph Hearst, the Democratic and Independence League candidate, had a plurality of 75,026. Mr. Hearst car ried all the boroughs of the greater city, despite the fact that the early re turns seemed to indicate that he had lost Brooklyn. No definite figures are yet available as to the results with regard to the subordinate state officers, and both CEABUS F_ HC6EES. Democrats and Republicans are claim teg victories from lieutenant governor (own. The indications are that the state legislature will show but little change In its political make-up. The Tammany Judiciary ticket in New York county, with the exception of Otto Rosalsky, 'or general sessions Judge. R., has been elected. Hearst Makes a Statement. Mr. Hearst made the following state ment: "In view of the result, I have only to repeat what I have said in my speeches. I am enlisted in this fight against the control of the government by the trusts j and corrupt corporations, and I will j fight it to the end. "But I will serve in the lead or in j the ranks Just exactly as the people j desire, and earnestly and loyally in one place as in the other. The people | have decided to retain the Republican j party in power. I will make my fight 4n the ranks, therefore, and as a pri-! vale citizen do my best to promote the interests of my fellow citizens." In Brooklyn, where Senator Patrick H. McCarren made a bitter fight i against Hearst, the latter carried the i borough by a small plurality, 4000. At one time it seemed that Hughes had been successful in Brooklyn, but the late returns were all strongly in favor of the Democratic candidate. Mr. Hearst has been given a ma jority of nearly 70,000 in Manhattan and the Bronx. Queens county, which j Includes Long Island City, has gone for Hearst by from 6000 to 8000, and Richmond (Staten Island) has also given the Democratic candidate a plu rality. Hearst's Greatest Strength in Cltiea. As was generally expected. Mr. Hearst showed his greatest strength tn the cities throughout the state and took out of the Republican column a number of the more Important munici palities which heretofore have been Republican. Among the cities which gave Hearst a plurality were Buffalo, Rochester. Utlea, Troy. Elmlra, Rome. | Little Falls and Johnstown. All of these, except Utica and Rome, were 1 Republican two years ago. Mr. Hughes did not gain a single city. The Repub lican ticket was successful, but sus tained serious losses In Syracuse. 1 Gloversville, Amsterdam, Ithaca. Sche- < nectady, Watertown and Plattsburg. , 1 Greet interest centered here In New ] York in the campaign waged for the < Judiciary ticket named by a commit- 1 tee of lawyers, headed by Joseph H. ( Ohoate and former Judge Alton B. < Parker. The Tammany and In depend- j < once League joint ticket won over the i aon irti an candidates by big plu- j t 1 iluiirn. State Senator Thomaa F. Grady, of T-rnmany Hall, has been re-elected over Thomaa Rock, who has been known In the campaign as "Eight Hour" Rock, and who claimed he had been "tricked" by the Independence League. Throughout the state there has been a notable falling off In the vote from 1904, which was a presidential year. The Republican ticket showed the greatest loss in this respect, espe cially in the cities. There were many odd turns to the balloting. Here in New York It was Richmond borough that defeated Mr. Hearst for mayor a year ago, and it was Brooklyn, with a big plurality, which helped him to make the race so close. Mr. Hearst barely carried Brooklyn Tuesday, but ran ahead in Richmond. In Schenectady, one of the best or ganized lab r cities in the United States, It was expected Mr. Hearst would have a substantial plurality. The Republican ticket was successful by S74 votes, as against a Htgglna plu rality of 1621 two years ago. While both the state senate and as sembly will be strongly Republican, the Democrats are claiming that they have made gains. PRESIDENT RECEIVED RETURNS His Greatest Interest Was Centered In Gubernatorial Fight In New York. Washington, Nov. 7. ? President Roosevelt eagerly awaited the returns from the elections as they came in over the telegraph wires to the executive offices. After dining with his family on his return from Oyster Bay he hur ried to his office, where, with Secre tary Root, Postmaster General Cortel you, Assistant Secretary Bacon, Secre tary Loeb and Assistant Attorney Gen eral Cooley, he scanned the reports furnished him by the Press Associa tion, and by various private sources all over the country. The greatest in terest centred In the reports from New York, where the early returns indi cated that if Mr. Hughes were elected, the claims of his managers of larg? majorities for him would be materially reduced. Early In the evening Secre tary Root estimated that Mr. Hughes' majority might vary between 60,000 and 75,000. One of the dispatches re ceived by Secretary Root came from the editor of the Press at Utica, in which city the secretary made his only ) speech of the campaign. This dispatch ] indicated the re-election of Represent tlve Sherman and the success of Mr. j Hughes In Oneida county by a major ity of about 3000. An early personal telegram to th? president said that Hughes had car ried Oyster Bay by 152 majority. MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICAN Governor Guild Re-Eelected and En tire State Ticket Goes Through. Boston, Nov. 7.?The Republicans, af ter a short but spirited campaign, were victorious In the state election. Gover nor Guild being re-elected by 37,00(1 plurality. His opponent. District At torney John B. Moran, of Boston, the candidate of the Democratic and Pro hibition party and the Independent League, received a somewhat larget vote than that given the Democratic candidate a year ago. The Republicans re-elected their en tire state ticket, although Lleutenanl Governor Draper fell considerably be hind Governor Guild. The next legis lature will be Republican by the usual large majority In both houses, and this will Insure the election of United States Senator W. Murray Crane, who is at present completing a brief term. The Massachusetts delegation to con gress will remain practically the same, although spirited contests In the Fifth, Sixth, Tenth and Eleventh districts made the result In those section doubt ful at an early stage of the tabula tion. The outcome of the election was a considerable disappointment to Mr, Moran and his fellow campaigners? E. Gerry Brown, of Brockton, candi date for lieutenant governor.and George Fred Williams, of Dedham. Big Republican Majority In Michigan. Detroit. Nov. 7 ? Governor Warner and the entire Republican state ticket have been elected by 60,000 to tOO.OOO majority, the Republican congressional candidates In each of the 12 Michigan districts having been elected, and the Republicans will have a large major ity In the state legislature, with a pos sibility of Its entire membership. Very Small Vote In South Carolina. Charleston. S. C., Nov. 7.?The elec tion held In South Carolina was with rat incident and a very small vote a-aa polled. For governor M. F. Anael, D., and the entire state ticket was sleeted, the only opposition being J. L Chandler, who received half a bun Ired Socialist votee. Seven Democratic congressmen were elected, five with rat opposition. The Republican nomi ices In the Fourth and Seventh Uia :rlcts got only a handful of votes. STUART SWEEPS PENNSYLVANIA Is Elected Governor By Nearly 100,000 Plurality. IMMENSE REPUBLICAN GAINS Latest Returns From Counties Show Heavy Losses to Fusion Candidate, Compared With Berry's Vote?Re publicans Carry Philadelphia By 40,000 and Elect Rotan District At torney. Philadelphia, Nov. 7.?The moat ex citing campaign In Pennsylvania In 25 years has ended In a triumph lor Ed win 9. Stuart, Hep., for governor, over Lewis Emery. Jr., Dem and Lincoln Party, by a plurality of nearly 100, 000. Aside from the contest for governor and other state officers, the chief In terest centered In the battle In Phila delphia for district attorney and in a I s KDWIH B. STCABT. few of the congressional districts. Members of the house of representa tives and county officers were elected In nearly every county, and state sen ators were chosen in 25 of the 60 dis tricts. Samuel P. Rotan. R., was elected dis trict attorney in Philadelphia by a vote which will exceed 40,000, defeat ing D. Clarence Gibboney, who had the support of the reform forces and the Democrats. The incoming legislature will be strongly Republican, although not so overwhe -ningiy for that party as it was two y >ars ago. The new personal registration law, which went into efTect since the last election, reduced the normal vote in many of the cities. The corrupt prac tices act, which also became oper ative since the last election, also oper ated to cut down the vote in some lo calities. The act prohibits the use of money at elections, except for legiti mate purposes, and is claimed to have deterred many poll workers from buy ing votes. One of the chief issues In the state campaign was the new capitol, which was dedicated on October 4. The Fu-I sionists claimed that several million dollars of overcharges and duplica- i tions are represented in furnishing and equipping the building. The Republi can candidates pledged themselves if elected to honestly investigate those charges and to place the responsibility for the alleged extravagance where it rightfully belonged. Of the congressional contests the hottest was that against John Dalzell, one of the Republican floor leaders. Dalzell was opposed by Dr. R. 3.1 Black, who was nominated by the Fusionlsts because it was thought he would be popular with the labor un ions. which are strong in this district. There were contests against Con gressman Acheson in the Washington district; Olmsted in the Dauphin dis trict; I.afean in the York district; Lilly in the Bradford district, and Dale in the Lackawanna district Thomas D. Nichols, district president of the United Mine Workers, was the Demo cratic nominee and was elected over Dale. Deemer was defeated by Wll ltam B. Wilson. D . national secretary and treasurer of the Mine Workers. John Mitchell, president ot the United Mine Workers, made speeches for Nichols and Wilson in their districts. The state senators who were elected will serve in the next two regular ses sions of the legislature, and will vote for a United States senator in the session of 1909, when a successor to Boles Penrose will be chosen. The state was apportioned by the legisla ture at the extra session, and Tues day's election was the flrst under the new apportionment. State Senators Elected.

Baltimore, Md.( Nov. 7.?Maryland's delegation In the 60th congress will be | three Republicans and three Demo j rats, proportionately the same as at | present, but with a change In two ol | the districts. Harry B. Wolf,D.,popular ly known as the "Newsboy" candidate, defeated his Republican opponent, W. W. Johnson, and takes the place of the : present incumbent, Frank Wachter, R? j who had declined rennmlnatlon. Woll s only 25 years old. while his opponent) s a veteran In Baltimore politics. The ( )ther change was In the First district, J where Thomas A. 8mlth. D? was de feated by William H. Jackson, R., af-! ter, It Is claimed by the Democrats, a avlsh use of money by the Republi- j :ans. The labor campaigns against Con-] [retsman Mudd told heavily In that portion of the Fifth district within Daltlmore city, but was counterbalanc ed in tbe count lee within the district Oklahoma Democratic. Onthrle, Okte , Nor. 7.?The constk j nflon of the new state of Oklahoma ( rill be written by Democrats. Ver ion H Whiting, secretary of the Ok- ? ahoma Republican committee, con ?odes the Democrats the three dele- | rates, while Chairman Jeaoe Dunn, of j he Democratic committer, says there ( *111 be at least 78 Democratic dele- ] rates on the floor of the convention, lepubllcan managers admit that Ok ahoma proved a great disappointment. [*he "unknown" quantity of the In llan territory was a concession to the leniocrals, but nine Oklahoma dis rlets counted on by the Republican paders. were carried by the opposl lon. Tb-- Osage nation elected two vrpe. -phe Indians'as a general ? th'- ? , ELECTIONS ELSEWHERE Republicans Retain Control of Con gress by Good Majority. WILL BE NO MATERIAL CHANGE Democrats Gain Representatives In Some States and Republicans In Others?Nicholas Longworth Re elected. Elections were held In 42 states, and while the results In a number of In stances were of unusual Interest, It may be said that generally speaking there were no great surprises. Throughout the south the Demo cratic state and congressional tickets have been elected by the usual ds Joiitles. In the west and east the states that were aligned two years ago In the Democratic or Republican col umns show no material chance, the Democrats making gains In some In stances and the Republicans In others. The Republicans retain control ot congress by a good majority. In Chicago It Is estimated that the Independence league ticket polled 40. 000. but there was a Republican plu rality for the state officers Michigan, Iowa, New Hampshire. North Dakota, Connecticut, Minnesota. Indiana and Wisconsin have rolled up Republican pluralities, although there was some falling off from the usual vote In Iowa. Nebraska shows big Republican gains. Ohio also shows Republican gains over the Pattlson vote of last year. The Republicans expect a plu rality of 70,000 In the state. The constitution of the new state of Oklahoma will be written by Demo crats. The Indians voted the Demo cratic ticket almost solidly. Okla homa also went strongly Democratic in choosing delegates to the constitu tional convention. New Mexico and Arizona hava voted favorably on the proposition to enter the Union jointly as a single state. Governor Hoch Is re-elected In Kan sas by a slightly reduced majority. The result in Missouri was In doubt at a late hour, the Democrats expect ing to gain some of the congressional districts they lost two years ago. Congressman Nicholas Longworth was re-elected In Cincinnati. Congressman J. W. Wadsworth, for many years chairman of the house committee on agriculture at Washing ton. was defeated in the 34th New York district. The Republicans carried Utah, Wy oming and Washington, and seem to have lost Nevada, while both parties are claiming Colorado. Congressman Rabrock, of Wiscoie sin. formerly chairman of the Repub lican congressional commit tee, failed of election. In Rhode Island James H. Hlg gins. D., Is elected governor.
