A sensational surprise was created In Wllkesbarre this afternoon when the official count of the Lyzerne county ballots was started. It was found that in four cases the official count of election boards differed from the second of the triplicate "Sheets they had sent in with their returns. There may be more cases of this kind as more official returns are opened. The difference between the official and the unofficial re- I turns may change the present face of the close returns. The judges sitting en banc this afternoon ordered the sheriff to bring Into court the election boards of the four districts, In whose returns discrepant cies were noted. These consist o1 three boards In Foster township und one in Hazle township. New York, Nov. 8.—At a late hour much doubt existed as to who is elected lieutenant governor of New York. Several counties had not reported the official count, but on the face of the figures in hand the result seemed to favor Lewis Stuyvesant Cliauler, on the Democratic and Independence league tickets. would defeat everybody else on the Itcpubllcan ballot. Hitchcock's Long T«rm. SHOCK CAUSED THIRD DEATH "The secretary of the Interior, Mr. Hitehcook, has informed the president On Long Island every man on the ticket with Mr. Hughes ran from 2,000 to 3,000 behind him. In Onondaga there was a difference of more than 1,000 between Hughes and the nominee for lieutenant governor on the same ticket. In Schuyler, Bruce ran behind Hughes. In Putnam there was a sain of 10 per cent for the Democratic candidate. In Oswego there waa a gain of 5 per cent. county On Feb. U5 the countess sent a cold rejoinder, Informing the count that she had lost all affection for him and all confidence In his honor and veracity, concluding with the statement that she found him "disgusting." that he would be unable to stay In the cabinet after March 4. Mr. Hitchcock has for some time felt that the very exhausting work he has been engaged in for ofcer eight years In the interior department was wearing on him so as to make it Impossible for liiiii much longer to remain. A notable feature of the campaign I was the success of the United Mine \\ orkers of America, which organization entered the political field for the first time in this state. The latest figures show that the miners will be represented In the next congress by two of the officers of the Organization and in the legislature by about half a dozen members of the union, all of whom were candidates on the Democratic ticket. The miners' representatives in congress will be William B. Wilson, International secretary-treasure!", and Thomas I). Xlcholls. district president of the upper anthracite coal field. The death of her father, Charles Hutchison, with whom she made her [home, followed two days later by the death of her brother-in-law, J. L. Dillon, of town, was so great a shock to Mrs. Agnes J. Kunkle, sister of Mrs. J. ID. Dillon, of Bloomsburg, that she died Tuesday at the home of her son in Philadelphia. Whatever the result may be, the figures will be close, and until complete official returns shall have been made by all the counties now juissiug it will be Impossible to do more than to guess at the winner. Then the count sent other letters to the countess begging to be allowed to see her and predicting that he would soon die. The letters continued until In the middle of September the count wrote that he would not long survive, begged for an interview and usked her to grunt him a supreme favor, saying: "The president urged him to accept the ambassadorship to France, but Mr. Hitchcock feels that he Is entitled to absolute rest and was obliged to refuse the offer. The president went carefully over with Mr. Hitchcock the choice of a successor who could be depended up on to carry on with absolute fidelity tht present policies of the department and agreed with Mr. Hitchcock that the best man to carry on the exceedingly onerous, difficult and responsible work of the department was James R. Garfield, at present commissioner of corporations. Mr. Garfield has accordingly been notified that he will be appointed on March 4, when Mr. Hitchcock retires.'' Hughes' Mescage to State. Mrs. Kunkle Is the widow of the late J. S. Kunkle, a former resident of Kingston, where Mr. Hutchison for many y;i. . residia a.ul where the family was very we'l known. In a message to the people of New '•'ork as he was leaving this city for a short stay in the Adiroudacks. Governor Elect Charles E. Hughes renewed (lie pledge he made in the campaign to devote himself unreservedly and to the full extent of his power to the just administration of the state government. Referring to his election, he said: It appears that outside of the candidates for governor and possibly for lieutenant governor the Democratic ticket Is elected. Mr. Hughes' plurality in the state is about 52,000. That the exact meaning of these discrepancies may be known It is perhaps well to explain the duties of boards of election In this regard. After counting the' vote the board fills out three sheets, known as triplicate return sheets, which should agree. One of these sheets Is posted' at the polls, one sealed to be used for the official count und the third sent to Wilkesbarre to be opened when received, so that an early ascertainment of the vote may be had. In the four cases in question the unofficial or third sheet disagreed with the second. The doubt as to the result of election with regard to district attorney and prothonotary is only increased by the find of the board ,Chis afternoon and It will be settled only by the official count which was started at noon today. Would Die Like a Dog. Mrs. Kunkle had been In delicate health for several years. When she visited her sister, Mrs. Dillon, several years ago, she waD stricken with pneumoi ia and at tha*. time It was feared she could not recover. She was ill with pneumonia when the death of her father and Mr. Dillon's tragic death occurred and word to the family was to the effect that the shock was too great for her in her weak condition. "Don't let me die alone like an abandoned dog." At Kcpublicau Ktate headquarters it was stated (hat while the committee was not prepared to make any- official statement their estimate on incomplete returns is thut M. Linu Bruce had been elected lieutenant governor by a plurality of about 5,000 votes and that Julius M. Mayer has been elected attorney general, but by a very narrow margin. It is thought that the remainder of the Republican ticket bus been defeated, but this is not conceded as yet. It was then, snid Maitre Crnppl, that the countess, worn out with her husband's insincerity, wrote him three postal cards, one of which read: • DRYDEN'S SEAT IN PERIL I f~ -Small Majority In Legislature Lessen Jersay Senator'a Chances. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 8.—The result of the election In New Jersey, although assuring the Kepulilieaus a majority of seven votes on joint lialiot, does not Insure the re-election of United States Senator John F. Dryden. The fact that Ills own county, Essex, elected a solid delegation of Democrats to the lower I louse, coupled with the fact that Senator Everett Colby, the Republican member from that county In the upper house. Is opposed to Dryden, makes his return improbable. The senator will be opposed by two of the Bergen members as well as by Colby. This will leave just enough for him to win with If he can control every other Republican in both houses. Senator Colby when asked whnt effect the returns would have upon the senatorial situation said: "It will certainly force the Republicans to liiul a new candidate and a strong man for the office.
