VOL XLIII. NO. 103- NEWBERRY. S. 0. FlUI6At NTOVEMBEB 9. 190P.TIEA)EKo15 .Y& HUGHES ELECTED BY 25,000 MAJORITY REMAINDER OF STATE TICKET C STILL IN DOUBT. I t Chances in Favor of Bruce.-Official Count Will be Necessary to Deter mine Result for Subordinate C Offices. New Yorw, Nov. 7. - Incomplete returns from two-thirds of the couin ties in the State of New York made it impossible up to 11 o'clock tonight to give definiite figures oi the State ticket other thain for governor. Char les E. Hughes, Republican candidate for governor, has a majority of 52, 000, approximately, but the remain der of the candidates are in doubt. For lieutenant governor, Lewis I Stuyvesant Clialier, Democratic-Inde- t pendeice league candidate, has a lead in the city of Greater New York of 134.941. UJp-Stite, Bruce, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, is rullliig slightly ahead of Mr. Hugh Cs' vote. As Mr. Hughes came down to Greater New York with a lead of t approximately 129,000, it will readily be seen that tile vote for second place ticket will be very close and only the coiplete officlial counit will deterinile the successful can(lidate. Returns are. coming in very slowly from up-State counties. At 11 o'clock 40 out of the 61 counties in the State I had completed the count. "d turned in the figures. From tliese it was impossible to predict the result of the entire count as to the subordinate places on the two tickets. At Repub lican State headquarters no definite l statement of claim could be had, but t based upon returns already in it ap pears that Bruce is elected by 5,000. It was stated that as there were still about, 20 counties to be heard from officially, nothing would be given out until these have been reported. flov.-eleet. Charles E. Hughes to night gave out. the following state ment: "It. is a victory for sobriety and for decency in the administhIio6 of g6v ernment. But"the people vill tit, t crate indifference to public wrongs. They desire neither exaggeration nor inflamatory appeal on the one hand, nor moral or politi6al obtuseness oni the other hand. The oleetion is a 1 .rbu*e to .demagogical methods and it is %iA%prqssive in its demands for I responsible leadership. I shall ad dress myself to the task of squaring .Me administration of government pith the interest of the people." ,IA,MS OF BEARST. AS TO LEAGUF VOTES.

New~ Yok NTov. 7.--At the head1 (1u:1 it rs of' Ithe I udepenidenc'e leag~ue t oni'b t thie foilowvini' st :leimencmt wvas issued: "Repirts 'mni up~-St ate indiente not oniily thIiat MrI .

These v'oteCs will have~' t.o lbe added to the anmnounced result of Mr'. Hearst 's vote in ordoer' to give theo 'orrmect Hearst figures in thme state. "Last night Capt. William Astor Chanmler stated that his brother, Rob ert, who w'as running for sheriff in Dutc'hess counlty?, had threatened to -bring mandamus prioceedings against several election boards before they coinsented to counit the Independence legevote for Mr. H-earst. Today otegr re ors ere received indicating that Independence league votes for Mr. flearist wer'e not counted in Erie andl Alleghieny counties. Reports come in also showing that in districts in Clinton, Cattarague, Herkin mer, Wayne, Albany. Onondaga and Washi ington, counties there was a failure on the part of the election boards to coumnt tihe vote of Mr. Hearst which was east under tihe scales. ."Thme facts developed today explain the great falling off (if tihe total voto c.asl. yesteirday as comipar'ed with the total vote cast two years ago. There is no doubt that the votes r'epr'esenit d by this falling off were the voter ast for Mr. Hearst and his associa es under the emblem of the scales n 1904 the total vote cast for gover ior was 1,625,907. This year witi 3 election districts missing only 1, 73,450 votes are accounted for, al liough the registration this year wa Linusually heavy, and the weather con itions and the interest taken in the ampaign all tended to bring out it tll vote.
