received from unofficial sources indi
cat. th*t all of the democratic candi
dates for office on the state tickets,
\vi r h the exception of Mr. Hearst, had
been elected. ' l# *.>
Mr. , Hughes’ plurality., remained
prncicany unchanged from the figures
giveii last night at about 00,000. His
lead, was obtained through the knifing
of Mr. Hearst, which'did not affect the
rest of the democratic ticket.
Unofficial and Close.
These, returns are unofficial and so
close is the vote on state officers, from
lieutenant governor down, that It will
be impossible to tell definitely who
has been elected until after the sev
eral boards of county canvassers meet,
next Tuesday. Their statements of
the vote on the state ticket are can
vassed by the state board, which
ineds not later than December 15, and
whilh at present consists of all the
republican candidates on the state
ticket except the governor and the
lieutenant governor.
In this city the police returns on
the vote for state officers are much
higher than the returns gathered by
the news associations, in some cases
the difference being as great as 6,000
vote-- in case the police returns are
inaccurate, and the newspaper figures
more nearly correct, Bruce (repub
lican). candidate for re-election for
lieutenant governor, may be success
ful, ,-and Lewis, the republican candi
date for controller also.
Lessons Learned.
The returns show that the lessons
which have been given to the voters
in recent years on how’ to split their
tickets have been thoroughly under
stood. There appears to have been no
4iffll-.ul tv found by any voter, whether
lie had tidal with the voting machine
•r the paper ballot in making his de
sire plain.
The only thing that the republicans
can be sure of now is that Mr. Hearst
was defeated.
At republican state headquarters it
was stated that while the committee
was not prepared to make any offi
cial statement their estimate is hat
Mr. Linn Bruce had been elected lieu
tenant governor by a plurality of
about 5,000, and that Julius M. Mayer
has been elected attorney general, but
by a very narrow majority. It was
thought that the remainder of the
republican ticket, has been defeated,
but this is not conceded as yet.
Coler’c Plurality.
When it appeared that pluralities
far ahead of the Coler plurality of
123.000 for governor had been scored
by all the democratic state candidates
but Hearst In Greater New York, the
police devoted a good deal of atten
tion to getting in ana tabulating the
whole state ticket vote here.
Hearst's plurality is 7*5,950, while
CbanJer's plurality over Bruce for lieu
tenant governor in the greater city is
139.395. For secretary of state Wha
len': plurality over O'Brien, present
republican, is 142.032. Jackson, for
attorney general, leads Mayer 139.369.
Glynn, for comptroller, runs 144,153
votes ahead of Lewis, while the dem
ocratic candidates for treasurer and
engineer are 139,139 and 145,886. re
spectively. ahead of their republican
opponents.

CASTELLANE SEEKS
TO DIVERT THE ISSUE
Counsel for Countess declares a Baseless, Un
precedented Attack Made on Edmond Kelly.
If Divorce is Granted, Boni to See Children
PARIS. —The hearing of the Cas
tellane divorce suit was resumed be
fore Judge Ditte in the palace of jus
| tice this morning.
Maitre Bonnet, of counsel for Count
Boni de Castellane, consumed less
[than an hour in concluding his argu
ment for the count.
' He continued his criticisms of Ed
mond Kelley, American lawyer of the
| countess, and persisted in his demand
for an examination of witnesses in
order, he said, to permit of the case
being probed to the bottom. Counsel
added that in event of divorce being
granted the count will ask for permis
sion to see his children two days each
week, and month in summer and that
the countess be enjoined from taking
the children to America without his
consent.
Counsel concluded with asserting
lie was convinced that the countess,
if free to obey the dictates of her con
science, would yet consent to a recon
ciliation and solemnly assured the
court of the counts respect, esteem,
and undying affection for his wife.
Maitre Cruppi, for the countess, in
reply, charged the count's lawyer with
seeking 10 divert attention from the
Issue at the bar by making an unpre
cedented and baseless attack on Mr.
Kelly, who, counsel declared, enjoyed
la standing in the Unlttd States and
France which made his defense super
fluous, he having been counsel for the
lAr-er'cun Embassy in Pariß for the
past 20 years.
...aurt Cruppi read a letter from
Kelly denying the charges made
against him, and saying that until
the names of the persons mentioned
were Introduced by counsel for the

declaring that the writer shipped to

stolen from the J/Ouvre in Ocutber

FOLLOWS ACTRESS;
ADJUDGED INSANE
Wealthy Young St. Louis Man Sent
Flowers, Candy and Letters to Pret
ty Actress, Having Front Seat at
All Performances.
NEW YORK. —Alfred Freund the
wealthy young man from St, Louis
who was .arrested on October 18, last,
charged with annoying Margaret Ang
lin, the aertess. was adjudged Insane
by a sheriff's jury and a committee
will be appointed to take charge of
his estate and person.
It was stated that Freund had for
the last two years followed Miss Aug-
I lin a out the country and occupied a
front seat at all her performances.
He hah spent considerable money for
bouquets, candy and other presents,
but never engaged to make tho ac
quaintance of Miss Anglin. He did
get letters to her through the malls,
i In which he asked that she make an
appointment to meet him. His con
tinued presence in a front row seal
caused the actress to lose her com
posure, and she was frequently forced
to appeal to the management t,o have
him ejected. .
Freund, at the stand today, said
that he loved Miss Anglin, but is now
convinced that she does not care for
him.
“I must have somebody to love/’
'he said, "and Miss Anglin is pretty*”
court ho had never heard of those he
was supposed to have bribed.
Maitre Cru|)pi then produced what
he declared to be forged documents
by which, counsel charged, the count
in July last attempted to convince his
wife that. Mr. Kelly was concerned in
a plot to accomplish his political ruin.
At the conclusion or the pleadings
tue case adjourned for the week.
So far as money was concerned
nothing would be much altered by the
divorce.
It would only mean final financial
ruin for the count. It was impossible
for him to meet his outstanding ob
ligations, amounting to 124,000 a year.
The remainder of his ancestral In
heritance would have to be sold. If
his wife desired to present him in
such a light before the world he hail
nothing more to say.
Nevertheless it seemed only just
that he should be reimbused the s24o*
000 which he obtained by #ale of bis
share of ancestral forest or Bueny,
and which was contributed to house
hold expenses.
In the proceedings today, Count
Boni was made more ridiculous, if pen
isiblc, than heretofore, by the state
! merit of his counsel that he had ex
pected to inherit 800,000 francs *Trom
his father, while it is a well known
fact that the Marquis de Castellane
supports hlmse'/ by his writing.

WASHINGTON.—At no time dur
ing President trip to Pan
araa will he be more than a hour
away from Washington by wireless.
Care has been taken in making the
itinerary of the l/ouisianu to keep
within constant communication by
wireless with stations on shore,
wnlch can at once send messages to
or from tVashington to the ship.
Tne Louisiana is equipped with .1
powerful sending and receiving sta

JAPANESE EXCLUSION
SAME AS THE CHINESE
Almost Certain That Bill to This Effect Will he
Presented at the Coming Session of Congress
by California Republicans.
SAN FRANCISCO.—It will probably
startle most easterners to team that
a California republican in congress Is
almost certain to present at the com
ing session a bill demanding the ex
clusion of the Japanese from this coun
try under practically the same terms
under which the Chinese are at pres
ent. barred out.
More than this, the political ma
chinery of both the republican and
democratic parties In the state of Cal
ifornia will be employed to the limit
of its strength to force the passage of
this Japanese exclusion »111.
The people of the cither farthest
western states may not. yet he up to

be made public only after its sulimls

It seems safe to say, however, that

were the needs of a hoodlum element,
much as in the case of the Japanese
earthquake expert who was stoned
by small hoys in Ihe streets of the
city. Moreover, the police have cap
tured a gang of criminals who con
fess to the murder of the Japanese
banker, whose death was the principal
crime of violence In the Japanese cata
logue of complaints. It seems absurd
to think that any nation could make
much capital on either of these two
counts.
Hut the school complaint is the chief
one, and right here Japan seems to
have a weak case.
