New York. Special.?With the election returns still incomplete.the plurality of President Roosevelt in the naI tion, according to all indications, will exceed 1,500.000. the greatest plurality ever given an American candidate. The nearest approach to this vote ! was in 1896. when McKinley received i a plurality approximately 850,000. J The interest centers in Missouri and Maryland, l^ate returns indicate that the former state is in the Republican column so far as presidential electors are concerned, but that Joseph Folk, the Democratic candidate, has beeu elected governor. Maryland's presidential vote will he cast for President Roosevelt, l^ate returns tonight indicate that Thomas A. Smith. Democrat, has been elected to congress io the first district by 450 plurality. Congressman Jackson, of this district, tonight, however puts forward a claim of trick ballots and fraud and says he will contest the election. In the other states it is simply a question of pluralities. The solid south was broken by the probable defection of Missouri?this section of the country usually having 13 states in the Democratic column, i I The figures tonight show hut 11! states, | w ith 133 votes, for Judge Parker.

In that state the legislature is Republican utld the entire Republican ticket, with the exception of governor, was elected. In Missouri, circumstances are similar.

Pry an had aspirations for a I'nited States senatorship. in that I state, too. tlie governorship is in doubt | and it will require ollicial returns to I determine who is elected.
