New York, Nov. 5.—Chairman Dunn, of the Republican State committee, when told that the Democratic leaders were charging fraud, pooh-poohed tho idea. He said: "It's pure buncombe. Odell was elected by from 10,000 to 12,000 majority, and the Democratic claims cannot change the result. If they want a recount, how about New York city? What would a recount hero show?" President Roosevelt Trenton, N. J., Nov. 5.—In New Jersey the Democrats made gnins, but failed to gain control of the state. The count is slow owing to the length of the ballots, which in many districts contained fifty or more names, each of which had to be canvassed separately owing to the wide scratching. The Republicans also elected the rest of the state ticket and ten out of fourteen congressmen. The state legislature remains unchanged, the senate standing, according to the late returns, thirty-three Republicans and seven Democrats, and the house 102 Republicans, seventy-live Democrats and three Socialists.

The Democrats elected three as against two under the old allotment. Philadelphia, Nov. 5.—The next Pennsylvania Legislature will be Republican by a large majority.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 5.— Nebraska probably has gone Republican, but by so narrow a margin on the head of the ticket that an unusual slump In any great number of precincts will give the governorship to the fuslonlsts. Columbus, O., Nov. 5.—The Republicans carried Ohio by next to their highest plurality on record. Nothing above 70,000 had been predicted, but partial returns Indicate that It will greatly exceed that figure. At the same time the Republicans made no gain in Ohio congressmen and are likely to lose one. The present Ohio delegation in congress consists of seventeen Republicans and four Democrats, and the returns show sixteen Republicans and four Democrats elected, with the Twelfth district In doubt. Ten Republican congressmen and one Democrat, with the re-election of Governor La Follette, was indicated by late returns from Wisconsin. EMPIRE STATE IN LINE FOR REPUBLICAN POLICIES Returns from Nebraska show the vote to be exceedingly close for governor, with the remainder of the Republican state ticket probably elected. Judge Gray, the Democratic candidate for the court of appeals, ran ahead of the other candidates on the state ticket, especially in the city of New York, where he led his associates by 20.000 votes. Mickey (Rep.) has run slightly behind his ticket, and Thompson (fusion) has run ahead. Indicating the success of the rest of the Republican state ticket by probably 10,000. Mickey's plurality can hardly exceed 4,000, and the result must' remain in doubt for possibly twenty-four hours. Address, F. J. CHENKY '& CO., Toledo, Ohio. Sold by druggists, 75c. Hall's Family Pills are the best. A small plurality for Morrison (Rep.) for governor Is indicated at an early hour this morning in Idaho. Washington and Wyoming appear to be safely In the Republican column. The vote of the state showed some striking features. The Democratic strength In Greater New York was truly remarkable for an off year, and yet In Albany, Onondaga, Clinton and Monroe counties ihe Republican pluralities were astonishingly large. The Republicans elect Burkett te congress in the First district, Hlnshaw In the Fourth and probably Klnkuld in the Sixth; the fuslonlsts Hitchcock In the Second, Robinson In the third and probably Slialleuberger in the Fifth, a Republican gain of one for the state.

The.delegatlou" to eougress remains unchanged, nine Republicans and four Democrats, while the legislature probably will be Republican by 25 on joint ballot, insuring the re-election of United States Senator Fairbanks.The present apportionment of the Ohio congressional districts was made by a Republican legislature with fourteen Republican, fmir Democratic and three doubtful districts. Two years ago the Republicans carried all the doubtful districts by close pluralities, and this year they increased their pluralities in the Republican and two of the doubtful districts and reduced the pluralities of the Democratic districts without gaining any congressmen and probably losing the close Twelfth district. At the last session of the Republican legislature only one congressional district, the Twelfth, was changed, and It has probably been carried by the Democrats. But Democrats May Contest. * Tlio Republican party suffered losses of seats in the legislature, the chief locality of tliese reverses being the city of Now York. The senate will apparently have u membership of twentynine Republicans and twenty-one Democrats and the assembly ninety Republicans and sixty Democrats. This is a loss of six scats in the senate and sixteen in the assembly. The Republican majority on joint ballot will be amply sutttclent to elect a Republican as Senator Piatt's successor in the United States senate. Best Patent Flour.

Iu Maryland the election was only for congressmen, the Republicans electing four of the six members.

In some of the states, however, there was u decided change from the vote cast two years ago. The light for representation iu con gress resulted thus: GARVIN ELECTED. Abirain Chamberlain of Merlden is elected governor, but probably by not more than 8,000 plurality as against 14,000 for McLean two years ago.
