SLUMP IN NEW YORK
Odell's Victory Reduced to a
Narrow Margin.
INTERESTIN G FIGURES
DEMOCRATS GAINED 35 PER
CENT; REPUBLICANS LOST 40.
Coler Does Not Concede Defeat and
Bays He Will Make Strong
Contest.
Spe,lal From a Staf cerrespondent.
NEW YORK, November 5.-At 10:30 a.m.
the republican state committee claims the
state for Odell by 10,050.
The democratic committee has no advices.
but accepts the statement of a World extra
that Odell's plurality has been reduced to
3,000. N. O. M.
NEW YORK. November 5.-Although the
unofficial report from the state apparently
showed Odell's re-election by about 10,0450
plurality. Mr. Coler, his democratic oppu
nent, refused today to concede defeat, de
Glaring that he wished to wait for the offi
Governor Odell.
etal count of the vote. Mr. Coler's state
ment, which indicated that he was not
satisfied with the returns as received so
far, contained the following:
"Suppose the democratic ticket had re
ceived, say, in the neighborhood of 150,000
majority in Greater New York, there was
nothing to have stopped the reptblicans
from claiming the upper section of the
state by at least 200,000."
Secretary Mason Cries Fraud.
This declaration by Mr. Coler was follow
ed by a rather sensational announcement
from Secretary Mason of the state demo
cratic committee that he refused to con
cede Odell's election; that fraud had rob
bed Coler of many votes up the state, and
that Senator Hill and Chaitman Campbell
of the state committee would come to New
York this evening to decide on a plan of
action.
About the time these statements appeared
a rumor was circulated that Colcr intended
to make a contest in the courts, and simul
taneously the Evening JTournal issued an
extra edition, declaring that cormer Sena
tor Hill, Chas. F. Murphy and Hugh Mc
Laughlin claimed Coler's election. This
report, together with the statements made
by Mr. Coler and Secretary Mason, caused
considerable excitement in this city.
Coler Wants OfBicial Canvass.
At the democratic headquarters in Brook
lyn today Bird S. Coler said to a number of
reporters present:
"I think personally it would be a good
thing to watch the official count up the
state closely. Why don't they distribute
McCullagh men up there as well as here in
Greater New York?
"What the democratic party needs up the
state Is tried and true material who will
look carefully after the party's interests.
I don't mean by anything I have said either
last night or this morning that I in any
manner concede the election of my oppo
bent. I want to-wait for the official count,
for my latest advices are that the vote Is
very close. I am hopeful of receiving to
day news that will put a new complexion
on affairs in this state."
Concedes Nothing.
John A. Mason, secretary of the demo
cratic state committee, speaking for the
committee, issued the following statement:
"We concede nothing. Odell's election is
simply a claim. We will not admit his elec
tion until every defective ballot or alleged
defective ballot has been scrutinized and
every vote that, of right belongs to our
party is counted.
"The alleged dEfective ballots uncounted
for the democratic ticket by republican in
spectors are more than enough to elect
Coler. We have evidence of wholesale de-.
bauchery and corruption In Orange, Oneida,
Albany and Erie counties, and In the cities
along the line of the New York Central
railroad.
Will Contest Every Foot.
"T'he defective ballot. and the chicanery
practiced In the three judicial districts
where the republican state machine bent
every energy to elect Attorney General Da
vies Is alone sufficient to change the result.
"~We shall contest every foot of ground."
David B. Hi and Frank Campbell will
be at the state headquarters this evening,
and a meeting of the state committee will
be held either this evening or tomorrow,
and a plan of action will be formulated.
At 11 o'clock today revised returns from
the state Indicated that Odell's plurality
would be about 10.000. Thes" figures were
based on complete returns from a number
of counties, with partial reports from
others, missing districts being estimated.
The republican plurality above the Bronx,
as indicated by the returns received, was
332,000, against 122,000 in the Greater New
York for Coler. Figures from the Greater
New York, with two election districts miss
ing, gave Coler' 122,014 plurality. The vote
was as follows:
Vote in Greeter New York.
Manhattan and the Bronx, Coler,. 380,816,;
Odell, 104,05. Brooklyn, Coler, 11,454;
Odell,' 64, Queens, Coler, 16,554: OideP,

Two nmaes on the state ticket eanage
b danli teda& the attc~nq wmm~mb1i~
and a justiceship of the court of appeals, it
appearing that the democratic candidates
for those offices 'had run well above Odell.
Cuneen, for attorney general, because be
was indorsed by the prohibitionists. and
Gray, for the court of appeals, on account
of the fact that many republicans supported
him.
For Congress, nineteen republicans and
seventeen democrats were elected, with one
district in doubt. In the present Congres
are 22 republicans and 12 democrats. To
day's estimates were that the new state
senate would stand 30 republicans and 2Q
democrats, and the assembly 88 repuhlican
and 61 democrats.
ALBANY. N. Y., November 5.-Since Ros
well P. Flower in a democratic landslide
defeated J. Sloat Fassett for governor, in
the face of republican claims for an easy
victory, there has not been- such an over
turning of votes from the republican to
the democratic party in this state as that
whtrh occurred yesterday.
With the exception of Erie, Albany and
Rensselaer dunties every democratic pre
diction of sweeping majorities was carried
out and amplified. Especially was this true
below the Bronx. The claims of 112,000 for
the Greater New York district were more
than verified, but the claims for Erie, Al
bany and Rensselaer were not responded
to. and the failure to realize democratic
hopes in those counties removed all chance
of Coler's election.
Figures Are Interesting.
The figures, both in totals and in detail,
are extremely interesting. With a regis
tration 4 per cent below that of two years
ago the democratic party in the Greater
New York district showed a gain in voting
power in a majority of the counties of over
40 per cent, and this tremendous gain was
met and defeat for the republicans averted
by the also quite remarkable fact that
several republican up-state counties gave
Odell larger pluralities than in 1900, while
several others equaled their pluralities of
that presidential year.
Over its combined vote in the state two
years ago the democratic party gained at
least 35 per cent and the republican party
lost 40 per cent. From a plurality of 111,000
Odell drops to below 10,000, a loss of over
100,000.
Judge Gray May Be a Winner.
On the face of the returns early today,
while Judge Werner, the republican candi
date for judge of the court of appeals, had
run ahead of his ticket in many of the
counties up the state, the fact that Judge
Gray, the democratic nominee, ran 18,000
ahead of his ticket in New York city would
seen to indicate the latter's election, but it
may take the official canvass to decide the
matter.
In the case of Mr. Cowan, the republican
nominee for attorney general, almost the
same condition prevails, it not being possi
ble to determine as yet whether the prohi
bition ballots, upon which the name of
John Cunneen, the democratic nominee, was
printed, were sufficient in number to elect
Cunneen. This also may. have to be deter
mined by official count.
Legislature Safely Republican.
While the democrats have gained three
and possibly four members in the senate
and about fifteen in the assembly, the legis
lature is safely republican, insurigg the
election of a republican to succeed United
States Senator Platt.
OVERSTREET CONFIDENT.
Republican National Secretary Claims
House is Surely Safe.
Special Disoatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, November 5.-At 9:45 a.m.
Secretary Overstreet of the republican con
gressional committee claimed an actual ma
jority of 10, with all indications that it will
run to 22.
This estimate is based as follows: Safe
republican districts, 161; tenth Ohio, 1.
Reports show the following doubtful dis
tricts carried by republicans: Connecticut,
1; Idaho, 1; Illinois, 3; Indiana, 3; Iowa, 1;
Kensas, 2; Maryland, 2; Massachusetts, 1;
Minnesota, 1; Montana, 1; Nebraska, 1;
New Jersey, 3; New York, 3; Ohio, 1; Penn
sylvania, 4; Rhode Island, 1; Utah, 1; West
Virginia, 3; Wisconsin, 2; total, 197.
Reports thus far received favorable to
republicans in the seventh Alabama; third,
fifth and sixth Nebraska; twelfth and
twenty-first Pennsylvania.
Official count will be required in the tenth
Pennsylvania. N. 0. M.
Majority May Reach Thirty.
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 5.-Representa
tive Overstreet of Indiana, secretary of the
republican congressional committee, said at
noon today that the republicans would have
in the next House of Representatives at
least 206 members, probably 208, and pos
sibly several more. Republican gains, he
said, were reported today from Colorado,
and republicans in the eighth Tennessee,
ninth Virginia and seventh Alabama were
claiming victory.
With 206 members the republicans will
have a majority of 26, with 208 a majority
of 30.

PROVIDENCE, R. I., November 5.-Al
though complete returns of yesterday's elec

their candidates for governor and leutenani

The congressional delegation complete Il

legislature in Delaware yesterday show that
the state senate will stand ten republicans
and seven democrats. The house will stand
eighteen republicans and sixteen democrats,
with one distriot undecided, by reason of a
tie vote. On joint ballot the vote will be
twenty-eight republicans, twenty-three
democrats and one tie.
Of the republican members it is conceded
that eight are opposed to the election of J.
Edward Addicks to the United States Sen

deadlock over the election of United States
senators at the next session of the legis
lature.
KANSAS IS RPUBLICAN.
Republican Governor and Legislature
by Good Plurality.
TOPEKA, Kan., November 5.-The vote
cast in Kansas was close to 290,000. The
counting is very slow and it will be night
before the exact result is known. Chair
man Albaugh of the republican state com
mittee says Bailey's plurality for governor
will be close to 35.000.
The republicans will have eighty mem
bers of the legislature, allowing them to
elect a successor to Senator W. M. Harris,
democrat. All seven members of the con
gressional delegation are republicans, a
gain of one.
CONNELL DEFEATED.
Democratic Representative From
Scranton, Pa., District.
PHILADELPHIA, November 5.-George
W. Howell (dem.) defeated Wm. Connell
(rep.) in the tenth district. Connell suc
ceeded in keeping Howell off the democratic
ticket, but his name went on .the ballot
under the head of anti-machine and union
party, and returns today indicate Connell's
defeat. The district comprises Lackawanna
county, of which Scranton is the county
seat. The democrats made a clean sweep
of the county.
PITTSBURG, Pa., November 5.-Later re
turns have placed the twenty-ninth and
thirty-second congressional districts in
doubt. Graham (rep.), in the twenty-ninth,
and Barchfield (rep.), in the thirty-second,
are c!ai-ming their election today over
Shiras and Brown (fusionists). It may re
quire the complete returns to decide.
ONLY ONE REPUBLICAN
Elected to Congress From Missouri
Legislature Democratic.
ST. LOUIS, November 5.-While complete
returns from all parts of the state have not
been received, there is nothing to ind!cate
a change from last night's figures, which
shdw the election of the democratic state
ticket, a sofe democratic majority in the
legislature that will sclect a successor to
United States Senator C. G. Vest, and the
election of fifteen democrats out. of sixteen
representatives.
Richard Bartholdt, who was re-elected to
Congress from the eleventh district, was
the only successful republican candidate.
The most substantial democratic gains were
made in Jackson county and Kansas City,
St. Joseph, and in Buchanan county, and in
Oape Girardcou. It is not believed that
complete returns w!ll change the result in
any manner. The democratic majority In
St. Louis on the state and city tickets will
be in the neighborhood of 7,000.
CONGRESSMEN RUN CLOSE. ie
But Republican State Ticket in Wash
ington Wins by 10,000.
SEATTLE, Wash., November 5.-The re
publicans have carried the state of Wash
ington by a majority that may run as high'
as 12,000, though the indications are that it
will be nearer 10,000.
The democratic state committee does not
claim the election of any of its state ticket,
though insisting that the meager returns
received justify the belief that there is a
chance for democratic control of the state
legislature.
Chairman Morris of the republican com
mittee holds that the republicans will have
a majority on joint ballot of fully forty.
The returns so far received seem to jus
tify the claim of a large republican major
ity in both branches of the legislature.
Owing to the fact that there is an over
whelming majority of republicans in the
list of hold-over senators, this branch has
not been in doubt. The house probably will
be controlled by a proportionate majority.
It is likely that Judge Hiram E. Hadley,
nominee for justice of the supreme court,
will lead the republican state ticket. The
three congressional nominees will run very
close.
CORLISS MEETS DEFEAT.
Democratic Representative Elected in
First Michigan District.
DETROIT, Mich., November 5.-Later re

nor by 30,000 on a very light vote.
Lucking (dem.) is elected in the first con
.gressional district, defeatIng Corliss, the
.present representative.
The other eleven congressmen are all re
publicans.
Special ispatch to The Evening Star.
DETOIT, Mich., November 5.-Indica
tions are that Lucking will get the election
to Congress from the first district by about
2,000 majority and that Durand has cut
down the Bliss majority of nearly 80,000
last election to about 80,000. The demo
crats have succeeded in getting ten men
into the state legislature, and the republi
can party has won by a comparatively nar
row margin all along the line.
DETHOIT, Mich., November 5.-The re
vised returns that are being received to
-day show at noon a total vote for Blim of
47,414 and for Durand- (dem.) 14,650, giving
t Gov. Bliss a plurality of 32,784. Gov. Blisa

lican candidate for secretary of state, ac
I perdn to the returns, which. when comn
pltd ill lower Gov. Blfss' plurality a
trifle more, it is expected.
Durand made a particularly strong run
in Wayne county, which he carried by
nearly 10,800. The legislature will be made
up as follows: House, republicans, 90; dem
ocrats, 9; one district still in doubt. Sen
ate, republicans, 29; democrats, 2; one dis
trict still in doubt.

HOUSE IS IN DOUBT
Confidently Claimed by
Both Paties,
INCOMPLETE RETURNS
Indicate Republicans Will
Have Control.
GAINS BY DEMOCRATS
EABCOCK PLACES THE MAZOEITY
AT TWENTY-EIGHT,
While Griggs is Conident His Party
Will Have Eight to Spare
Latest Returns.
At 3:15 o'clock this afternoon the
returns from the various congres
sional districts throughout the coun
try show that there is some doubt
as to which party will control the,
next House of Representatives. The
outlook, however, favors the repub
licans.
The claim of the republican con
gressional committee made this af
ternoon in New York is that the
House will be republican by twenty
eight, while Chairman Griggs of
the democratic congressional com
mittee lays claim to a democratic ma
jority of from eight to twelve.
A table, based on the news as re
ceived by the Associated Press today,
foots up 191 republicans, 179 demo
crats and 13 districts classed as
doubtful.
To the republican membership of
191 may safely be added the 3 inde
pendent republican members from
Pennsylvania, which would give the
republicans just enough votes to
control the House.
The following table shows the re
suit by states of the election for the
House of Representatives:
