Harriman Wins In New York By Narrow Margin Close Finish May Bring Demand For Recount Os Votes NEW YORK (INS) — Wealthy Averell Harriman. 62, Democraticiioeral, squeezed through to win a dramatic, eye - lash victory early today over his Republican opponent, Sen. Irving NJ. Ives, in a t)ot race for the governorship of the pivotal state of New York. The contest swept to a surprising photo finish which might bring demands for a recount. Gov. Thomas E. Dewey early today ordered all the state's polling machines and register books placed under police guard pending an official recanvass of the vote. A. terrific reversal in figures cropped up in the after-midnight returns, causing a frantic counting of the- final ballots. A few hours earlier Ives had conceded defeat and Harriman, all smiles, had delivered a'victory statement at party headquarters. Latest returns with only 26 scattered up state . districts missing were: Harriman 2.547.732. Ives 2.532,686. , . A sensational sidelight was the unexpected defeat of Rep. Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., Democratic candidate for attorney general, who lost -out to--the Republican nominee. Rep. Jacob L. Javits by more thaq 150,000 votes. The count in this race on thq basts of almost complete returns: ■ Javits 2,558,806. Roosevelt 2,406,229. Harriman's electionas governor for a four-year term broke 12 years of Republican domination of New York State. He succeeded in beating Ives, Gov. Thomas E. Dewey's hand-picked candidate, and at the same time fought off an all-out campaign by Dewey himself. By virtue of his close victory, the dignified, shy-mannered Harriman now looms as a powerful political fjgure in tlie 1956 presidential picture. His stature threatens to overshadow that of Adlal E. Stevenson, the Democratic presidential nominee in 1952. '■"O l Kwrverir"we’re‘Tiara“ puF‘to"uiv r derstand young FDR's defeat except to credit Javits for great personal popularity in New oYrk City. "Unseen unemployment" — loss of overtime and premium pay for many workers was held possibly accountable for Harriman's showing against Ives, despite evidence of a strong “I'm still for Ike” vote in support of the President’s plea for a GOP congress.

Byrd in the sixth. Mrs. Kee, widow of the late representative, turned back Fred O. Blue while Byrd routed Pat B. Withrow, Jr. In the first district incumbent Bob Mollohan defeated Arch Moore. Incumbent Harley O. Staggers beat Albert Morgan in the second district and incumbent Cleve Bailey was an easy victor over Joseph Lightburn in the third. Neely, veteran of the West Virginia political wars, was re-elected to the U. S. Senate ap one of the few Democrats wly> made President a clear-cut issue in Neely, who it Is rumored will be 80 years old next Tuesday but who won't admit his actual years, campaigned openly on an *1 don't like Ike” platform to defeat Thomas Sweeney.
