WILSON CARRIES NEW YORK STATE

Plurality Is Somewhere Over 150,000 FAVORED BY COUNTRY AND CITY Democratic Nominees Come Down to Harlem River with Large Majority for First Time in Many Years. - .... New York, Nov, 6. —Wilson and carried New York State by a plurality of anywhere from 150,000 to 200,000. It is impossible to give close figures to indicate the Democratic presidential sweep of the state.

For the first time in years, a Dem ocratic presidential candidate has come down to the Harlem river with a plurality to add to his own plurality in the greater city of New York. Wilson and Marshall seem to have outrun both Roosevelt and Taft in the Republican strongholds beyond the northern barriers of the Democratic city of New York. Sulzer -Wins Governorship. But the Democrats this year have seemed to stop at nothing. Congressman William Sulzer has knocked the spots out of both Oscar Sitraus, his Progressive opponent, and Job Hedges, the Republican standard bearer. Mr. Sulzer has a plurality of something like 140,000. Wilson has probably carried the greater city by not far from 125,000. New York, in addition to choosing Democratic candidates in the state and nation, has put the Democrats in

power, apparently, in both branches Of the state legislature. It looks as if the New York state senate would stand thirty-three Demo•gressives and Socialists, if the Progrsessives and Socialists, if the Progressives and Socialists have elected any members of the state senate. The lower branch of the state legislature will be almost two to one Democratic. Indications are that the lower branch of the legislature would stand 100 Democrats to fifty Republicans, and any other parties that may have elected assemblymen.
