ELECT PLURALITYJNTHE Cm Greater New York is Bepy lican for President for First Time in Twelve Years , New York , Nov. 4. General electii returns received show the followii results : William II. Taft is elected preside by approximately 298 electoral vote Practically no change is indicated the complexion of the national hou of representatives. The United States senate will reta its present Republican majority. Governor Charles E. Hughes h ; been re-elected in New York by abe 76,000 plurality. Indiana has gone for Taft by fro 15,000 to 18,000 plurality. Bryan has apparently carried N braska. Ohio returns have been serious delayed , owing to the immense si : of the ballot , but Taft has carried tl state by a majority ranging from 5i 000 to 75,000. Taft carried New York city by abe 11,000 plurality , this being the fir time the city has given its vote to Republican presidential Candida since 1896 , when Mr. McKinley had small plurality. Mr. Taft received a greater pi rality in New York state than Pres dent Roosevelt did four years ago , tl indications pointing to 220,000 f < Taft , as against 17.5,000 for Mr. Rees velt. velt.The Republican plurality fell c heavily in the middle west , in a ma ner thoroughly surprising to the R publican leaders. Cannon Re-elected to Congress. Speaker Cannon has been re-electc Representative Payne of New Yoi and Representative Dalzell have bee re-elected and the house of represent tives probably will continue under i old regime. Mr. Payne will ha\ charge of the new tariff bill in tii extra session , which Mr. Taft wi call immediately after March 4 net Missouri has returned to the "scli south" on the presidential ticket an elected Cowherd as its governor. The first returns received came froi scattering districts in Massachusett The heavy pluralities indicated thei for Mr. Taft seemed at once to disb pate any probability of a "landslide for Mr. Bryan , as many Democrat had claimed , and the Republican mai ugers at once began to put out claim of victory. Returns from the up-country dii 1 ricts of New York state , where votin machines are largely used , were th next to arrive. It had been predicte for days that Erie county , includm the heavy vote of Buffalo , might b taken as an index to the drift througi out the country. This proved to b the case , so far as the national ticke was concerned , Mr. Taft having a pli rality of something more than 4,00 votes. Erie county , surprisingly , Iiov. ever , gave Lieutenant Governor Char ler a plurality of more than 3.000. Th opponents of Governor Hughes wer quick to claim a sweeping vie tor j but returns from the other large coaii ties and cities soon changed the com plexion of the returns completely. Th vote in Greater New York for Mi Chanler was deeply disappointing ti his friends , while Ihf heavy vote fo Mr. Taft , especially in the boro.igh o Brooklyn , completely eclipse : ! th < inoi-t sanguine hopes of the Republic : ms. Governor Hughes was out hea\ ily up the state , but not so deeply a : to imperil his election , one--- the < iiil in his favor "below the Bronx ha < begun to make itself lelt.

Massachusetts , New York and New Jersey were striking exceptions to th' ; generally reduced Republican plural ities. There has been a shrinkage in the Democratic vote in several of the eouthern states , notably in Virginia and North Carolina. Mr. Taft has enrricd "Visconsin by plurality estimated ai To.OOO , a fall- iig elf irom the Iwjcsevelt plurality 150,000 in 1904. Kentucky has gone safely for I\ \ Eryan by about 15,000.
