If democratic ballots were taken out It would a standoff, but It is a fair presumption that some Hearst ballots rightfully cast would be removed. Mr. Hearst further balled up the situation today by advising his not to pay election bets until the contest Is over.

This ties up a lot of money. Around the hotels. In the streets, nothing is heard eiept statements that Hearst had been defrauded of election. Democrats and republicans (of course, omttt ng the managers) -ay openly they are convinced he had been heated. The Hearst sbouters are fairly wild with rage.

Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, November result In the city and returns from all over the state show that the Poe amendment has been defeated by over 27.000 majority, and with it Senator Gorman and his state democratic machine has gone down In defeat. The city vote Is as follows: For Poe amendment, 26.301); against amendment, 46,845: majority against, 20,586. The estimated majority against the amendment In the counties Is 7,000. The city vote for state controller is as follows: Atkinson, democrat.

Holme, prohibition. McCullough, republican, Young, socialist, Atkinson's plurality, There is a prospect that McCullough (rep.) has defeated Atkinson (dem.) for state controller. The result will not be determined until full returns from the counties shall have been received. Henry D. Harlan (dem.) is re-elected chief Judge of the supreme bench by a handsome majority.

The returns from the counties are arriving late, and the exact majority of the republicans in the house is hard to'estlmate. With thirteen republican members from Baltimore republican control of the house seems to be possible. In this city the democrats have probably elected part of their local ticket and about one-half of the legislative ticket. IJnthicum. democratic candidate for state senate In the third district, who was supported by Gov.

Warfield. Is elected by 1,200 majority, and five of the six democratic candidates for the house of delegates in this district also win. William B. Rayner ron of Senator Rayner, ran an average of more than ten a precinct behind the head of his legislative ticket and has been defeated. Lehlayer, the democratic legislative candidate from the fourteenth ward, who was nominated by the antiamendment element In his ward, made the best run of any democratic legislative candidate In the district.

In the second district the democrats seem to have pulled through four of their legislative candidates, namely. Murphy. Heatwole. Orem and lii te ford. McFaul and Cleveland, republicans, are apparently elected.

This district was very close. John L. V. Murphy, the candidate of the Warfield element of the thirteenth ward, led the democratic ticket in this district. In the fourth district Ogden, democrat, is beaten for state senator by Jones, republican, but the latter's majority is very much below the normal republican majority In this heavily republican district.

The first district went republican, but two democrats, Ash and Wilcox, have probably slipped in. George W. Padgett, republican, is sheriff over John T. Couglar. The race for clerk of the city court Is very close, and still in doubt.

Incomplete returns seem to Indicate the re-election of Raleigh C. Thomas, as city surveyor. Returna from the counties are still Incomplete, owing to the length of the ticket, and the time required for the court, but the ind'cations are that the vote on the controller is cl03e. The majority in the counties against the Poe amendment Is about 7.000. First precinct of Prince George county goes republican by a small majority of 51 against the Poe amendment.

Hyattsvllle district is republican, the majority agatlist the amendment being 80. Incomplete returns Indicate that the republicans have carried Cecil county and their entire local ticket is elected. McCullough is running ahead of his ticket. The amendment is snowed under In Cecil. CONTROLLERSHIP IN DOUBT.

Additional Returns Also Leave Legislature in Doubt. By Ansoclited Press. BALTIMORE, November returns from the Maryland counties and city precincts that' were not counted night confirm the overwhelming defeat of the proposed suffrage restriction amendment to the constitution, but leave In doubt the state controllership, and only complete returns will show whether McCullough, republican, or Atkinson, democrat, has been elected. Full returns in Baltimore give Atkinson a majority of 1,400, but several counties are to be heard from yet. and it wili probably be at a late hour tonight before all the official returns have been completed.

The legislature is also left in doubt by later returns. The senate is certainly democratic, but the official count throughout the state must be completed before the exact composition of the house of delegates is known. The legislature elects the state treasurer and the politics of that official as well as of the board of public works, of which he will be a member, will depend on the legislative returns yet to come in.

Dove, while in Hyattsvllle district Sweeney's majority is 64 There Is no doubting the fact that the opposition to the Poe suffrage amendment leaned heavily on the democratic ticket in Prince George county. The negro apparently had trouble in voting the ballot. The Anti-Saloon league of Prince' George County was represented at the polls by Rev Charles E. Ely.

pastor of the First Brptlst Church of and the reverend gentleman remained until the count was completed this morning. The league was favorable to Carmody for senate, Swieney for sheriff and Ray.

Special Dispatch to The Star. ROCKVILLE, November returns from yesterday's election In this county were not received until late this morning, the count In several of the districts continuing until after daybreak. The result shows a majority of 228 against the propose suffrage amendment and that Controller Atkinson carried the county by a majority of 501 over his republican opponent. With the exception of Washington B. Chichester, for the house of delegates, the entire democratic county ticket was elected by varying majorities.

2.803; Hewitt, 2.523. County Jackson, 2,408. The result was not much of a surprise to any one, as the situation was generally regarded as very much mixed and impossible to fathom. Tile Illiterates were much more successful than usual in marking their ballots and the number ot ballots thrown out for improper marking was several hundred less than formerly. It Is believed, however, that the republicans were much the greater losers from this cause, and but for this their entire county ticket would probably have been elected and the majority against the amendment Increased to over 500.

All of this morning the candidates were here eager for the news, and not until nearly noon was there any Idea as to who had won.

The announcement of the election of Dewalt J. Willard (rep.) of Poolsville over Washington B. Chichester (dem.) was a great surprise, although Wlllard was known to be very popular In the county. He supported Bryan In 189? and 1900. RESULT AT GAITHERSBURG.

RESULT REPAID WORK SECRETARY BONAPARTE'S COMMENT ON MARYLAND ELECTION. Assistant Secretary Taylor Thinks That the Democrats Have Been Furnished With an Issue. Keen interest In the result of yesterday's elections was manifested today in administration and political circles generally. President Roosevelt and members of the cabinet were informed of the latest returns from the doubtful states and cities, many messages from private sources, as well as news received by the press associations, being: conveyed promptly to the White House. The President did not have any statement to make today as to the result of the elections.

He was interested in the fights in all directions, especially hi New York, his former home. He received bulletins of the elections until midnight last night, and they were delivered to him today. All Work Repaid by Results. Secretary Root declined to make any comment on the result of the elections, but Secretary Bonaparte said: "Among the unfortunate features of the present election law of Maryland, features due entirely to the partisan legislation of the special session of and to the socalled 'Wilson are a wholly unreasonable delay in ascertaining the results of an election and excessive fatigue ami uiscomfort to the election officers, with consequent danger of mistakes on their part during the protracted and complicated count. "For these reasons I cannot say, as yet, what are all the results of the election Just held, but two seem to be assured namely, that the Poe amendment Is defeated by a decisive majority and the republicans have elected enough members or the next general assembly to prevent the passage of any new election laws over mo governor's veto, and the submission to the voters of any new amendments to the constitution.

It may be that we have accomplished more than this, and I hope we have, but. If we have only done so much, it Is enough to repay all of us for the time, trouble and labor Involved in doing it. "As for myself, I have had some part In the good work, but some part only, and am in nowise disposed to magnify its importance. I have given, the party leaders such advice and other assistance as they asked and I could render, and It is a source of much gratification to me that my counsels seem to have geen Judicious, as shown by the event, and my work seems to have been In a measure effective. But I have not been, nor pretended to be, 'the whole or even a very large part of 'the whole thing' in this campaign, and I expect to be no more In future than I have been in the past.

All the men who have done the work deserve to share thecredlt, and I claim to be only one among many such men. although circumstances may have made me somewhat unduly prominent." May Create an Issue. Assistant Secretary Taylor of the treasury said to Star reporter this afternoon that in his opinion the election in New York yesterday and the Chicago election last year make It certain that in the next presidential campaign the democrats will nominate candidates on a municipal ownership and anti-trust platform. In Chicago last year the mayor was elected on that issue exclusively, and the big vote in New ork for Hearst yesterday shows the democratic trend toward municipal ownership and anti-trust as their platform of the future. "This is an off year," remarked Mr.

Taylor, "and in such years the people go on the rampage and work off all their 1 he results of yesterday are healthy signs of a crusade against graft and corrupt on in office. It is a sort of protest against machine rule. The people are getting independent and tired of political bosses. 1 do not think the result forbodes any disaster to the republican party, but will tend to purify the party and strengthen it. Ky 11)08 the party will be in line to win the next campaign easily." Assistant Postmaster General Shallenberger said In his opinion the results were an Indication that the Roosevelt spirit of fair play Is pervading the entire nation, and that the people are adopting his a thing is right, do it!" Internal Revenue Comm'ssioner Yerkes who saw some healthy signs in the election', said he had received a few meager dispatches only from Kentucky.

It is not regarded that national Issues entered to any considerable extent in the elections, although In Massachusetts the question of reciprocity figured In a material way. Surprise was created by the tremendous revulsion of political sentiment in Pennsylvania and Ohio and by the closeness of the vote for mayor in New York. The Result in New York. On the face of the returns now in. George B.

McClellan waa re-elected mayor of New York by a plurality of 3.4S3. Charges of gross fraud and corruption are made by William R. Hearst, the mayoralty candidate of the MuntcipaJ Ownership League, who claims that a recount of the ballots will show his election. He proposes to have the 1,948 boxes, containing the ballots taken before the board of aldermen for a recount of the vote, and has declared his purpose to carry his contest for the office to the court of last resort. All wagers on the contest for mayor and for district attorney have tteen held up pending a deterauthortty reSuIt by the flnal gravers Jerome, the Independent candidate for district attorney in New Plurality variously estimated at from 4,000 to 9.000.

In Pennsylvania, and in Philadelphia particularly. the reform wave swept everything before It. Bossism was made the issue, and In both the city and in the state at large the republicans were overwhelmed.

It is pointed out here, however, that party politics cut little figure in the Pennsylvania elections, and the same is said of the elections in Ohio. Yesterday was the first time in a quarter of a century that Philadelphia has registered Its votes against the republican organization.

News of an uprising In Santo Domingo, the flrst In many months, or.

Indeed, s'nee Morales installed American customs collectors at the Island ports, came to the State Department last night from one of Its representatives In Santo Domftigo. There was a lack of details, the statement being merely that an uprising directed against the administration of President Morales had occurred at Macoi-is. The news was immediately communicated to the Navy Department, and an order was dispatched by cable to Rear Admiral Bradford, who Is Just now at Guantanamo. Cuba, to send a warship at once to the scene of trouble. It was.

of course, expected that the admiral would in tucn cable the necessary instructions to the most available and suitable ships of his Caribbean squadron. No less than six ot the ships are now in Dominican waters, the disposition being as follows: The Cleveland at Sanchez; Des Moines, Yankee and Nashville at Monte Chrlstl; Newport at Puerto Plata, and Scorpion at Santo Domingo city. Some of the ships are consequently in position to make the run to Macoris within half a day. Unofficial advices had reached this city before this news came to the effect that there was danger of an uprising in the island, but the 20th instant was the date fixed for the attack on the Morales forces, and It was thought that there was ample time to prepare to repel It. Moreover, the point of danger was supposed to be Monte on the north side of the island, almost directly opposite Macorls.

Nothing Is known definitely as to the cause of the present outbreak, but It Is said here that the leaders were financed from New York, with a purpose of stirring up strife Just In season to adversely influence action In the United States Senate on the Santo Domtngan treaty. It is further said that the activities of the United States warships at present will probably be confined to the protection of the American interests, and there will be no attempt to Interfere between parties unless these are threatened or anarchy prevails. FIRE IN SAN FRANCISCO. Chronicle Building Badly Damaged? Blaze Started by Election Bombs. SAN FRANCISCO, November before midnight last night a fire started In the big clock tower of the Chronicle building, as a result of the firing' of bombs to announce the election results, and the flames spread with such rapldl-ty that the entire Are apparatus of the city was summoned to the scene.

Owing to the great height of the flames, It was Impossible to reach them, even with the combined forces of the water towers, and the familiar superstructure of the building was speedily reduced to debris. which toppled in blazing sections to the street below. The fire found Its way down to the roof and a considerable portion of that part of the building was burned before the weak water supply succeeded in quenching It. In the tower was located the photographic department, and below it. on the tap floor, was the composing room, in which are located many linotype machines.

To what extent these were damaged is not known. It is believed that the the most valuable of Its kind in the west, has been practically destroyed. The editorial rooms and many business offices on the lower floors were deluged with water poured upon the upper part of the structure. The fire came in the midst of the final preparations for the issue of the election edition and the courtesy of the use of the Examiner's plant was immediately offered to the Chronicle. The offer was accepted and the Chronicle this morning was printed on the presses of Its contemporary, Its own press rooms being flooded by the volume of water that poured down the elevator shafts.

It is impossible to estimate the financial loss yet. Several members of the art staff who attempted to save some of their property were almost cut off from escape and had difficulty in getting to a place of safety. ANTI-FOREIGN FEELING GROWS.

November McCandless and others have sent to President Roosevelt a protest against the territorial loan, for which Secretary Atkinson is now en route to Washington to ask the approval of President Roosevelt.

The last legislature made a provision for issuing a loan of $1,250,000 and made appropriations accordingly. Gov. Carter decided to issue and expend only $750,000 and It is to secure this amount that Secretary Atkinson has gone to Washington The protestants claim that Gov. Carter is exercising a legislative function In attempting to issue an unauthorlied loan ot and selecting which It was among the appropriations shall be carried out. Gov.

Carter says that his action is In accord with a sound financial policy and that the bill as passed by the legislature provides for the use of territorial money for matters which the counties themselves should provide for. Insurance on Leased Buildings. According to a decision of Deputy Auditor Tweedale. the District government cannot pay the insurance on any building leased by It. A question to this end arose yesterday when the Columbia Fire Insurance Company sought to make the District responsible for any fire loss that might ensue while It Is the tenant of one of the city night lodging houses.

It seems that there Is a clause in the lease which requires the local government to maintain Insurance on the house, but the statement by the deputy auditor makes It obvious that the only way this can be accomplished is by the drawing Of a new lease and the establishment of a rental sufficient to cover the cost or tne Insurance.

MAY BE INJURED HEARST 18 LIKELY TO BXXAXN IN THE FOREGROUND. Believed by Many That Gorman Ci? not but Lose Much Prestige as a Party Leader.

The effect of the elect lotm yfttfrdAy on the persons! of varloua political leaders was a favorite subject for conversation among politicians in this city today. The New York and Maryland elections in tills are regarded as th? most Important, as that of New York makes necessary an entire readjustment of the standing of the bosses, while that of Maryland has an Important bearing on the future of Senator Gorman. The effect of the close election on the future of Mayor McClellan is calling forth much comment, especially among those democrats who were looking to Mr. liiOlellan to carry Greater New York by such a largo majority as to set politicians at once to talking of him for the democratic nomination for the presidency. The democratic party Is looked upon as badly In need of a Moses, or at least of some young man of high standing among: the who could be relied upon to call out the full strength of the party In a national election.

Mr. McClellan's friends have been pleased to regard him available presidential timber. If it could be shown that he would be likely to carry New York slate they believe they could readily go before the convention and demand ills nomination. They were especially hopeful of success, because of the Independent that Mr. McClellan has been supposed to have taken In relation to Tammany.

Tammany Itself has always proved to be a handicap to any candidate wiien he reaches a national convention, but Mr. McClellan was thought to In the happy position of having the support of Tammany without tiie odium attached to a tool of Tammany. It was also supposed that the memories of his father would be a wonderful assistance in commending him to the southern democracy, while his life spent In the north would effectually Identify him with that section. McClellan Not Benefited. But now that he lias won by a bare majority of a few thousand and being In the unpleasant position of having to face all sorts of charges from t.he Hearst forces, his prospects do not seem so attractive It Is taken for granted tliat Hearst people will produce a mass of testimony to show fraud in the.

election, and that they will not let the public forget about It. They are expected to have recourse to the courts Just as long as altorneys can keep the fight going. McClellan may show fraud on the other side. It is said, and yet many people believe he Is likely to be injured in the public estimation by having the honesty of his election called into question At any rale, the prospects for a united democracy in New York seem to be far off. Effect on Hearst's Future.

The fortunes of Mr. Hearst are also regarded as being greatly affected. It Is believed by many here that Mr. Hearst's large vote will result at least in keeping him to the front In New York politics. There are some democrats who believe that Mr.

Hearst Is likely to be made something of a martyr of by people who have voted for him on the ground that he has been deprived of a square deal. The result of future proceedings may do much to clear up the political atmosphere In relation to these leaders in New York, and of course, if the public mind is satisfied that Mr. McClellan's election was fairly accomplished the effect on his fortunes of t.ie events of yesterday will be far less damaging. According to the view of politicians In this city, the future of Mr. Jerome is fraught with many doubts, because, while his position in New York city has shown, his attitude toward all the parties Is such as to make it difficult to see how he will proceed to secure future Mr.

Jtro rt's popularity so fully demonstrated will make a demand for him. but It is not plain )W his advancement can be secured unless he obtains some party recognition. Gorman May Lose Prestige. The effect of the democratic defeat In Maryland on the political future of Senator Gorman is regarded by many as one of toe most important results of the election. It is declared by many that Senator Oormaii cannot possibly evade the loss of personal prestige In h.s party resulting from his failure to marshal his forces so as to rally the full democratic vote on issues that he had approved as proper for his party to put forth In Maryland.

Mr. Gorman's friends say that he la still at the head of the democratic organisation, and they assert that no one of the men who figured prominently In the revolt against Mr. Gorman's rule has the experience and qualifications to take his place at the head of the machine were they to have an opportunity to do so. Mr. Gorman's friends also contend that on Joint ballot the Maryland legislature -is still democratic, and they claim that with the lapse of time conditions will resume their former aspects In Maryland, and that Mr.

Gorman will be relied upon as the stata leader of his party. Democratic Factions. While Mr Gorman's friends take that view of the situation, there are muay democrats wlio fear tliat their party is so split that It will not be able to bring the various factions together, at leas', not In tune for the next national election. If they are ever able to do so. They claim that the bitterness of feeling that has been moused in Maryland In the past few months will not easily down.

Especially with Mr. Gorman remaining at the head of the partv in the slate, they do not sehow the Warfield-ttayner-Bryan-Monsai tactions can ever get together again. Those who view the situation In Maryland are inclined to believe that the future will see a realignment of party affiliations. If there is another attempt to bring forward the issue of disfranchisement they se trouble in store for the party, and they do not see Just how that issue can be dropped consistently by men of the several factions who have declared that they favored such legislation while they did not like the provisions of the Poe amendment.
