PART OF STATE
GREATER NEW YORK’S VOTE
The Democratic Candidate Received
a Majority There of 120,777 —Coler
Still Claims a Victory.
•S
N< w York. November 5. —Offioia!
returns of yesterday's election have
boon received from every county in
th state, and shows that Odell, repub
lican, was elected governor over Coler,
democrat, by a majority of 7,757.
The figures were not all received
until tonight, and they were at once
compiled and the result announced.
In the state, outside of New York,
Odell received a majority over Coler
of 129,544. Coler's total plurality
over Odell in tne state is 121.757. In
Greater New York alone his majority
was 120,777, which was more than was
claimed! for him by any democrat, and
a surprise in political circles general
ly. It was claimed that if tne demo
cratic nominee received a majority of
90,(MW in Greater New Yolk he would
have enough to overcome Odell’s ma
jority in the balance of the state.
Tonight the democratic leaders are
claiming that great frauds were com
mitted up the slate, that Odell did
not receive the vote that has been re
potted for him. A contest is much
talked of tonight In democratic circles
and may be the result of tne election.
Coler. the democratic candidate,
says he will not concede the election
of Odell until the official count has
been made and every vote Verified.
Republicans claim tliat the election
was fair all the way turohgh, but
many of them are the
heavy vote received by up
to ate. They say that every vote cast
in the elction was an nonest one and
do not look for a contest.

thing that the theatre patrons cf

the democrat would carry Greater
New York by such a big majority. It
was estimated that no would not win
by ever 100,000 in the county, but he
carried it by something over 120,000
and was then defeated. The -.ote in
the state was one of the heaviest poll
ed in years,

week, endeavored to persuade the 19-
year-old girl not to go up, altnough
s.ie had made two successful ascen
sions last week.
It was evident to tlie thousands of
spectators that sue had not made a
proper start. In vain she struggled to
draw her body up to the trapeze liar,
but eaeh effort only exhausted so
much stength. Finally the climax was
reached when the form was seen to
quiver and leave the balloon. Over
and over it turned until tile body was
crushed and broken against the earth.
