With incomplete re turns outride of Greater New York, the result of yesterday's election in NVw York state, aside from the head of the ticket, is still in doubt today. At I this forenoon there was a possibility lhat the entire democratic state ticket, a::ide from governor, had bee n tlected. All democratic state candidates ran far ahead of Hearst in Greater New York. I .rail hy 1 1H.IHMI !u ily. Thtir pluralities lure are approxi mately fly IIo.imiii over the republican op-j Chicago gave the ni: and may Lave the effect of.ity of over 50,oo0 lHne overcoaiing the republicans in the up state counties. These estimates, how ever, necessarily are based upon the full slate vote for governor and de pend entirely upon the estimate that the 1 sser candidates held with Hughes. Had i:WMM in Country. On the face of present returns Hughes came down to Harlt-m river with a lead over Hearst of a little more liian 13o, hh). While this is sufficient to give him a lead oT considerably more than ro.eo over Hearst, Hughes' associates have a far greater plurality rolled up by the remainder cf the state ticket to meet. The closest contest, nmloubte d ly. will be between Bruce, republican, and Ohanler, Independent league and democrat, lor lieutenant governor. Chanle-rs plurality in Creator New York is about 13.".,imiu. Returns al ready in show in some upstate comi ties Uruce tan ahead of his ticket. Should llavt Had r..(MM. If Bruce had come down to the Bronx on an even footing with Hughes the plurality of Chanler would have been a scant 5.nno. If the returns yet to come show the republican candidate made gains in other counties and this plurality may be out down, if not en tirely wiped out. Next to the lieutenant governor, fig ures at hand show Whalen. democrat, candidate for .secretary of state, may come through a winner by the closest margin. Hughe loo Hfhind Tl.krt. As more complete returns began to come in by counties today it was seen in some instances there was a small but consistent lead by the lesser re publican candidates over the head of their ticket. This fact served only to increase the uncertainty regarding the result for offices below governor. Two Conn lira Ouloide City. Hearst apparently carried" only two counties in the state outside of Greater New York. These were Chemung and Schoharie; It. was in his home city, however, that ho encountered the bit terest and most determined opposition. Kings county, of which Patrick H. Mc Carren is the democratic leader, last year gave Hearst for mayor a large plurality, but yesterday McCarren ex erted all his forces to return Hughes a plurality in his county. His instruc tions to his captains was to cut Hearst and vtite the remainder of file demo cratic state ticket. ('out Illui nearly. While Hearst succeeded in carrying the county by a plurality of 4.503, re turns for the remainder of the state ticket show his trouble with McCarren cost him dearly. The plurality of the the county democratic candidates who were not affected by McCarren's order exceeded that of the "head of the ticket hy more than 30.000. Had Hearst re ceived these votes it would have cut Hughes' lead in the state practically in half. Carrie fllr by 7fl.0."Kl. rew York. Nov. 7.

Almost complete returns show, aside from the governor, the democratic state ticket in the greater city carried by pluralities from 135,000 to 1 15.ono. Kent of Ti-k-t Seemn Safe. This would indicate that unless the republican can-Tulates for offices below governor ran ahead of Hughes above the Bronx, the full democratic state ticket, except governor, may have been elected. Returns from upstate counties are too incomplete to warrant anything l?ke an accurate forecast. CARRIED BY 100,000 Illinois Rolls Up Usual Republican M jority f or State Ticket.

THOUGHT TO CRUSH HIM But Editor Carried Even the City Utica Where Rcot Fired His Broadside. of Washington, Nov. 7. There is no concealing the fact (hat at the White Jiouse the showing made by Charles K. Hughes in the New York election was a great disappointment. It was con ceded by the president te the officials whe have been with him that the le turns make William Randolph Hearst a ternudable candidate for the presi dency in 190S. It had been the hope of the president that Hearst would be defeated by such an overwhelming majority that he would no. longer figure as a peditieal factor. The speech of Secretary Root, made last Thursday night at Utica was expected to cause a crushing repudia tion of the man who indirectly was charged by the president with respon sibility feir the assassinatieui of Pres ident McKinley. Ili'nrsl Carried I Ilea. Hut in Utica, which, by the way. is Secretary Root's home town, Hearst defeated Hughes by a plurality of Ho and Representative Sherman lost the city by 1.100. A high official of the administration, who was with the president last night, suggested that. se far as the next pres idential campaign is concerned, it wejuttt nave been far better had Hearst been elected inste-ad of beaten by a small majority. In the gubernatorial ef!ice Mr. Hearst, it was claimed, would have made a record of inefficiency which would have demonstrated his absolute unfitness tei serve as president. This same statement was made by republi cans and democrats opposed to Hearst during the campaign just ended in con nection with the municipal campaign in New York city. .Mauy i'romlHCH Made. Had Hearst been declared elected, it was suggested, he could not have carried out. the numerous promises Iip made, and his lack of performance would have disgusted the veters and he would rmt have figured in the guberna torial campaign, and, of course, not In the presidential campaign two years hence.
