UNITED STATES PRESIDENT-ELECT

NEW YORK GIVES WILSON 200,000

Roosevelt Runs Behind Taft in Empire State. IS SECOND IN THE CITY Sulzer Wins as Governor—New Jersey Gives Successful Candidate Plurality of 40.00C —Massachusetts Goes Democratic-

Nev.- York. Nov. 6 Woodrow Wilson won a sweeping victory in the eastern .states, amounting to a veritable landslide for the Democratic both state and national. With the exception of New Hampshire, | which has gone for Taft by a safe I plurality. and probably Vermont. | where Roosevelt is leading, every ' state in the east has landed in the Democratic column by safe pluralities. ‘ Official returns will probably show slight changes in the figures, but the net result will remain the same, a decided triumph for the Democratic party.■, The intense interest in the campaign was shown in the increased vote polled in every state. The voters went early to the polls and the voting was in most cases completed early in the day. While great excitement prevailed there were very few disorderly incidents. New York for Wilson. Wilson carried New York state by a plurality variously estimated at from 150,000 to 200,000 Roosevelt ran slightly behind Taft in the state outside of Greater New York, but he more than made up for it in this city, landing safely in second place by a good margin over the president. The combined vote for Taft and Roosevelt in New York city, based on almost complete returns, exceeded the vote for Wilson by 628. The figures were: Wilson. 276.917; Taft. 113.452: Roosevelt, 164.095. The total Republican vote . was 277,547. This indicated a very large defection from

the normal Democratic vote which usually is far in excess of the Republican vote. Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, at a late hour claimed the state for V jlson by a plurality of 130,000. 5.000 more than Chairman McCombs’ enrly estimate. The New York Herald, which has been strongly for Wilson, Is making the biggest claims of any of the Democratic supporters, claiming the state for Wilson and Sulzer by a plurality of 306.000. Sulzer Elected Governor. Sulzer, the Democratic candidate for governor of New York, rah slightly behind Wilson, but his election was conceded by both Progressives r ■ d Republicans early in the. evening. Hedges, the Republican candidate, : second with Straus, Progressive, a r<rd third. C . nel Roosevelt carried his home tern by a plurality of 292. The vote was: Pnosevelt 510, Wilson 21R, Taft 67. ’ the. colonel's own district the t-ri: Roosevelt 231, Wilson f" Ts'. "8.

column, giving Wilson a safe plurality. Roosevelt ran second with Taft 1 poor third.

Massachusetts gives Wilson a plurality of about 70,000. The returns from all but a few of the election districts gave Wilson 230,000, Roosevelt 160,000. Taft 110,000.

Indications based on incomplete returns are that Wilson has carried Connecticut by a small plurality. Returns from New Hampshire are coming in very slowly, but they Indicate that Taft has carried the state by a safe margin. Notable gains by Wilson are indicated in the early returns from Rhode Island. Taft Is losing in the country districts. Definite figures will be late, but it looks as if Wilson would carry the state by a safe margin. Wilson carried Maryland by a pin* rality estimated at 40.000. The whole Democratic ticket was swept to victory’ in the Wilson landslide. Vermont in Doubt. The vote in Vermont is very close and it may take the official figures to decide the result definitely. Practically complete returns show Roosevelt In the lead by a narrow margin, but later figures may throw the state to Taft.

The Democrats will gain a number of congressmen by the landslide in the eastern states, several Republicans falling by the wayside In the general Democratic upheaval. It Is possible that changes will also occur in t the representation in the upper house, as indications are that there may be a shifting of control in some of the legislatures. Progressives in 1916. Colonel Roosevelt telephoned friends at the Union League club last night that the Progressive party had annihilated the Republican party in the nation and would control the national committee and national convention In 1916.

Sulzer Is Grateful. Governor-Elect Sulzer issued the following statement: “This is a victory for the people and good government. Of course I am gratified, but I deeply realize the responsibilities entailed and I now want to see the Democrats make good. The opportunity is theirs. lam deeply grateful to the people and thankful to all my friends.” Pennsylvania for Roosevelt. Philadelphia, Nov. 6.—Theodore Roosevelt, on the face of (the returns, appears to have carried Pennsylvania. This supposition is based upon incomplete returns, but ep.ough to show that Governor Wilson appears to be falling i far Short of his predicted vote of 448,I 009 in the state, while President Taft appears to be running a little ahead of the 265,000 allotted to hifn by opposition leaders and not disputed by the crushed leaders of his own party. I Roosevelt should have about 470,000 votes in the state if the present ratio ' continues, and many of the city wards | and country districts in which the col- : oncl was conceded to be the strongest have not been heard from. Wilson Vote a Surprise. In Philadelphia President Taft stems to be running better than expected owing to the fact that the down town leaders at the very last moment decided to split their enormous vote and divide it almost equally between Taft and Roosevelt. Governor Wilson’s vote in Philadelphia is a surprise. He lost votes in nearly every district so far heard from, and every vote, appears to have gone to Roosevelt. Even in the Sixth ward, the only Democratic ward in Philadelphia, he lost 450 votes.

Dean Gessner Is Dead. Elizabeth, N. J., Nov. 6.—Very Rev. Dean Martin’ Gessner, pastor of St Patrick’s church, died here after 3 prolonged illness. He had been g priest for 50 years.

MAKE-UP OF CONGRESS

DEMOCRATS PROBABLY WILL CONTROL BOTH HOUSES. 1 Returns Indicate They Will Have Majority of 50 to 75 in Lower Body. Washington, Nov. 6. —While it will ■>e necessary to have more complete returns than already at hand to give my kind of an accurate complexion s£ the next congress, information so far received indicates a Democratic majority of from 50 to 75 in the lower house and a radical change in the senate after March 4. One of the biggest surprises was the slection of a Democratic legislature ia Massachusetts, which will elect a sue- 4 cessor to. Murray W. Crane. Mr. Crane was elected to the senate in 1904. A Democratic legislature in New York state probably Will also elect a successor to Senator Elihu Root, whose term expires in 1917. There is a bare possibility that Senator William P. Frye of Maine, the oldest member in the senate, will be succeeded by a Democrat. Returns so far received indicate the Democrats have carried that state by a good margin, and in that case will be called upon to select a successor to Mr. JYye>who has represented that state in the upper house of congress continuously since 1881. ? Present indications are that Democratic senators will be elected from Oregon, New Jersey, Nebraska, Illinois, Kansas, South Dakota. Delaware, Michigan and Wyoming' If these figures prove correct the next senate will stand: Democrats, 52; Republicans, 38.

BULGARIANS AT TURK CAPITAL

Porte Intimates to Powers If Bulgarians Enter Constantinople Will Be Impossible Prevent Massacres. London, Nov. 6.—The speedy fall of Constantinople is Inevitable. The Bulgarians have cut off the capital’s water supply by occupying the town of Dercos and have pushed their advance guard under the guns of the northernmost forts of the chain of defenses behind which the Turks are making their last stand. The Bulgarians have occupied the region between Tchorlu and Tchatalja. and completel}’ surrounded the Turkish force in that district. The bombardment of Adrianople continues without abatement Turkey conveyed a coyert threat to the powers by intimating to the German foreign office that if the Bulgarian? enter Constantinople it would be impossible t,o prevent an anti-Chris-tian uprising. The situation in Constantinople is described as extremely critical. The embassies and consulates and the larger foreign business establishments are all under heavy guard.
