% HEARST ALONE BEATEN BALANCE OF DEMOCRATIC GANDI+ DATES ON NEW YORK STATE TICKET ELECTED. LEUTENANT GOVERNORSHIP CLOSE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE APPEARS TO BE DEFEATED BY FEW THOUSAND VOTES. 9.—The election of the entire state Democratic ticket nominee for lieutenant governor, and dicated by the latest returns received. The closest contest appears to be between Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, Democratic and Independence league nominee for lieutenant governor and M. Linn Bruce, his Republican oppo- nent. Returns already in, however, show that even if in the counties miss- ing Bruce received a number of votes equal to those given Higgins two years ago Chanler would still have a plural- ity slightiy in excess of 3.400. It now seems likely that the remalning Dem- ocratic candidates will have a wider margin than Chanler. With eight counties still to be heard from Chanler has a lead of 16,050 over Bruce. The missing counties are Es- sex, Niagara, Ontario, Orange, Fulton, Monroe, Rockland and Yates. Hamil- ton counly, which reported during the forenoon, showed that Bruce led Chan- ler in that county by 120 votes and his vote in Ierkimer county exceeded that of Chanler by 2,758. This gain for Bruge was partially offset, how- ever, by revised figures from some of the countles previously reported. Chalrman Conners of the Demo- cratic state committee said that the Republicans were holding back the returns, that fraud was being prac- ticed and that in his opinion there were enough Independence league bal- lots not counted to reduce greatly Mr. Hughes' plurality and possibly to elect Mr. Hearst. Woodruff Has Nothing to Say. Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman of the Republican state central commit- tee, was seen at headquarters. He saild he was not in a position to make any statement and would not make any claims or concessions. The count in Queens county is under investiga- tlon by the office of state attorney gen- eral. The reason for it is unknown. Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam- many Hall, was asked if he was satis- fled with the result of the election. “I am not,” he replied, “I wanted the Hearst ticket elected.” “Are you satisfied with Tammany's work?” he was asked, “Yes, we did our part, all we could do,” he replied. ‘When asked what the occasion was for Chairman Conners’ call for a meeting of the Democratic state com- mittee Mr. Murphy said: “The up state country is very close and the meeting will be for the pur- pose of guarding the interests of the Democratic state ticket.” In reply to a question whether he thought the officers up state were hold- ing up the returns he replied that he would not like to say that they were and that Mr. Conners knew more about it than he did. Very nearly full returns from all ceunties of the vote for governor give Hughes 764,324; Hearst, 684,722; Hughes' plurality, 61,612. . Hughes' plurality outside of Greater New York was 136,338; Hearst's plu- rality in Greater New York was 74, 728. New York, Nov. WON BY SMALL PLURALITY. Missouri Democrats Had Few Votes to Spare. St. Louis, Nov. 9.—Unofficial re- turns from 105 of the 114 counties in Missouri show that the Democratic state ticket has won by a majority of prebably 6,000. There is still some uncertainty as to the result of the contest for su- preme judge for the long term, which is ten years. Kennish, Republican, bad ‘led his ticket in every county thus far heard from, whereas Wood- son, Democrat, is slightly behind and it will necessitate full returns to de- clide. In the legislature the Democrats will have a majority of thirty on joint ballot at the session which opens in January. CONTINUES TO GROW. Johnson’s Plurality in Minnesota May Exceed 50,000, St. Paul, Nov. 9.—Governor John- son’s plurality over A. L. Cole, Rep., in the gubernatorial contest continues to grow. As complete returns come in from the several counties they in- crease rather than diminish Johnson’s advantage as shown by the earlier re- turns, It is now evident that Johnson’s plurality will be considerably in excess of 40,000 and it may exceed 50,000. BURKE'S ELECTION CERTAIN. Has Plurality of 3,000 in North Da- kota. Fargo, N. D,, Nov. 9.—Late and cor- rected returns give the vote for gov- ernor as follows: Sarles, Republican, 6,475; Burke, Democrat, 9,660; Burke's plurality 8,185, oo CHEAPER FARE TURNED DOWN. Detroit's Mayor, Who Advocated the Change, Also Defeated. Detroit, Mich,, Nov, 9 —Willlam B. Thompson, Dem., has defeated Mayor George P. Codd for re-election by the majority of 3,311, The vote against the proposed new franchise for the Detroit United railway, advocated by Mayor Codd and generally accredited with causing his defeat, was 28,823, with only 13,316 votes in favor of it. Under the proposed franchise the rates of fare would have been ten tickets for 25 cents during five hours "ot the day and six tickets for 25 cents the other hours. The cheap tickets would have been good between 5 and 8 o'clock in the morning and 4:30 and 6:30 o'clock in the evening. CLEAN SWEEP IN CALIFORNIA. Returns Increase Republican Pluralities. San Francisco, Nov. 9.—Fuller re- turns do not matevially change the first showing and the Republican party has elected its state ticket from top to bottom. Gillett Is elected governor by a plurality exceeding 12,000. A solid Republican delegation has been elected to congress, the majori- ties being in some cases equal to those of the Roosevelt vear. The Republican candidates for jus- tices of the supreme court are elected by big majorities. Later Big Majority in Legislature. Denver, Nov. 9.—According to the latest returns the Republicans will have a majority of forty-four on joint ballot in the next legislature, which will elect a United States senator to succeed Tliomas H. Patterson, Demo- crat. The senate will consist of 23 Republicans and 12 Democrats and the house 49 Republicans and 16 Demo- crats. WINS BY 20,000 PLURALITY NO QUESTION OF THE RE-ELEC. TION OF GOVERNOR CUM- MINS OF IOWA. Des Moines, Nov. 9.—lowa’s election is a question of the Republican plu- rality only. All indications point to a plurality of about 20,000 for Gover- nor Cummins, with the chances that the rest of the state officials will run a little above that. The Democrats have made their biggest gains in the senate, where they have elected in ten of the twenty-two districts where elections were held and gives them fourteen members in the senate, where at the last session they had but eight. They elected thirty-three members of the house, where last session they had twenty-two. Final returns show that Congress- man Lacey has been defeated for re- election in the Sixth district and D. W. Hamilton, a Democrat, elected to the position. In the First and Sec- ond districts, also thought to be in doubt; the Republicans have elected their candidates. GOVERNOR ALONE IN DOUBT. Balance of Kansas Republican Ticket Successful. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 9.—Outside of the head of the ticket the Republl- caus elected the entire state ticket and will have an overwhelming major- ity in the legislature, which will name a successor to United States Senator Benson, and elected all of the eight congressmen. The congressional dis- tricts were carried by the Republicans by estimated majorities running from 2,409 in the Fourth, represented by James M. Miller, to 6,300 in the First district, represented by Charles Cur- tls. The state ticket, outside of gov- ernor, Republican Chairman Crummer estimates, was carried by pluralities of about 28,900. BEGAN LIFE AS MESSENGER BOY. New Congressman From Chicago’s Packinghouse District, Chicago, Nov. 9.—James T. McDer- mott, the friend of almost every one in the populous stock yards district because, as those who know him say, “his head is on the level and his heart is on tke square,” will represent Packingtown in the next congress. He began life as a.messenger boy, picked up telegraphy and left the key to begin the campalign which won for him a seat in the national house of representatives. He is thirty-four years old and a Democrat. AS RESULT OF ELECTION. Oil Trust Raises Wages of Pennsyl- vania Employes. Franklin, Pa., Nov. 9—The Stand- ard Oil company has announced a vol- untary increase in wages of employes in the Galena Signal Oil and Eclipse refineries, located here. The percent- age of increase was not stated. About 800 men will be benefited. General Charles Miller, who made the an- nouncement on behalf of the Galena Oil Company, said that the election of the Republican ticket in Pennsylva- nia had inspired the management with the belief that still greater prosperity was coming and they desired their employes to share it. Kentucky Woman Murdered. Louisville, Nov. 9.—Mrs, John Etley, wife of a factory employe and the mother of six children, was found dead lin bed with her throat cut and skull & fractured.

COUNT'S LAWYER FINISHES RIS PLEA DEVOTES MUCH OF HIS TIME IN CRITICISM OF AMERICAN ATTORNEY. Paris, Nov. 9.—The hearing of the Castellane divorce suit was resumed before Judge Ditte in the palace of justice during the morning. Maitre Bonnet, of counsel for Count Boni de Castellane, consumed less than an hour in concluding his” argument for the count. He continued his criticisms of Edmund Kelly, the American law- yer of the countess, and persisted in his demand for an examination of the witnesses in order, he said, to permit of the case being probed to the bot- tom. Counsel added that in the event of a divorce heing granted the count will ask permission to see his chil- dren two days each week and a month in summer and that the countess be enjoined from taking the children to America without his consent. Counsel coucluded 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 respect, esteem and undying affection for his wife. 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 attack on Mr. Kelly, who, counsel declared, en- joyed a standing in the United States and France which made his defense superfluous, he having been counsel For the American Embassy for twenty years past. Maitre Cruppi read a letter from Mr. Kelly denying the charges made against him and saying that until the names of the persons mentioned were introduced by counsel for the count he had never heard of those he was supposed to have bribed. Maitre Cruppi then produced what he declared to be forged documents, by which, counsel charged, the count in July last attempted to convince his wife that Mr. Kelly was concerned in a plot to accomplish his political ruin. Severai sharp passages between Maitres Cruppi and Bonnet took place, one ‘of them compelling the in- tervention of Judge Ditti. Finally Maitre Bonnet asked the court to post- pone 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- clusions of the public prosecutor next week, will announce its decision ei- ther for a divorce or for an examina- tion of the witnesses. The creditors’ case, in which Count Boni, the Count- ess de Castellane and George J. Gould, as trustee, are made joint defendants, was called after recess. This suit, which is brought by six creditors, in- volves $5,400,000. LIABILITIES $7,350,000.

Stensland and Henry W. Hering, who were re- spectively president and cashier of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, were in court during the day to tes- tify regarding @some of the forged notes held by the institution and which were used by Hering and Stensland as ostensible collateral. The specific case in question was regarding a note of $10,000 signed with the name of Francis Peabody. Mr. Peabody de- clared that the signature was a forgery and Hering on the witness stand admitted it was not genuine. He also declared that several other notes shown to him were forgeries. Stensland followed Hering on the stand. He was asked about an ac- count known in the books of the bank as account No. 408. Witness said this was his personal account and motes amounting to $600,000 which appeared on it were forgeries. The court announced that later he would make a decision regarding the Peabody note.

SPENT LONG TIME IN THE PROBING NUMBER OF RAILWAY AND GRAIN COMPANIES CAUGHT BY IN. VESTIGATION. Minneapolis, Nov. 9.—Indictments bave been voted by the special fed- eral grand .jury which convened in Minneapolis Oct. 22 to investigate al- leged freight rebates. In the case of the railroads the indictments con- tained 147 counts. The minimum penalty for conviction in each case is $1,000 and the maximum $20,000. None of the interested railroads expected that any indictments would be re- turned against them. Each company had disclaimed, with apparent sincer- ity, the possibility of any criminal act in their relations with the grain com- panies concerning which their em- ployes had given testimony before the jury, It is belleved that the grain companies and individuals connected with them had received no inkling of the fact that they were being investi- gated by the grand jury. No member of either grain company was called to the stand, nor was any of the railroad men indicted who had testified before the grand jury. Although attention was constantly called to the fact that only men of clerical rank and of subordinate traffic positions were being called to the witness stand the higher officials failed to “tumble” to the probability’ that their own calling would be of a more serious nature. They laughed at the jury proceedings, although many entertained secret misgivings at the length of time taken by the jury in their probings and the fact that back of the investigation was H. B. Duncan, special agent of the department of Jjustice, who had brought so many similar investigations in other places to an indictment stage. The corpora- tlons. against whom the indictments are said to have been voted are: Great Northern Railway company, six indictments, five officials; St. Paul, ) Minneapolis and Omaha, three offi- clals; Wisconsin Central railway, two officials; Minneapolis and St. Louis, two officials; W. P. Devereaux com- pany; McCaull-Dinsmore company; Ames-Brooks company, Duluth; one other not yet returned. NO STRIKE OF SWITCHMEN EMPLOYES ACCEPT INCREASE OF- FERED AND WILL ARBITRATE DIFFERENCES.

CAUSE OF TRAGEDY UNKNOWN. Louisiana Corzressman-elect Kills a Lifelong Friend, Baton Rouge, La, Nov. 9.—The cause of cne of the most dramatic shootings in Loaisiana’s recent his- tory, when Judge George K. Favrot killed his lifelong associate, Dr. H. H. Aldrich, is still unknown. The fact that Judge Favrot, the leading figure emong Louisiana’s Democratic con- gressional nominees, was on Tuesday elected by a majority demonstrating unusual pepularity; that both men were married and occupying some of the most respected positions at the state capitol. and the circumstance that the street near which the shoot- ing occurred was at the time filled with leading officials of the city, many accompanied by their wives, made an unusual setting for the tragedy. Dr. Aldrich’s friends offer no ex- planation for his death and Judge Favrot, after spending the night in jail, said nothing to supplement his explanation made immediately after the shooting to the effect that he had “sufficient canse.” It is reported that Dr. Aldrich had been warned that Judge Favrot would shoot on sight.
