and thinks that McCirren is the proper
man, but says that such a suggestion
from him would be resented. Crocker

received in New York city and explained
' I suppose that Tammy wanted to be a
"regular" I find no fault with them, the
mischief was done when Hearst was
nominated.
I do not care to indie ite what New
York Damocrats should do. I am only a
private citizen and nothing under Heaven
could induce me to resume the leadership
of Tammy." Crocker alsostated that he
hoped that William Jenn.ngs Bryan would
be nominated in 1908.

San Francisco, 4 p m The Democratic
managers concede Gillette' election by
from eight to ten thousand.
GILLETTE IN CALIFORNIA
San Francisco, Nov. 7 Altho th full
return from th state will not b in for
a week, sufficient figure are at hand to
confirm latt night' estimate that Gillette,
Republican, ha been elected governor
along with th entire state ticket, by
majorities ranging from 8.000 to 16,000.
Th votet in San Francisco cannot be
tabulated until late thit afternoon but
when that task it finished there will be
little change In the figure. Gillette ha
carried the county by 10,000, but ran
(lightly behind th balance of th ticket.
Practically complete figure on th vote
for congressman thow that the Repubii
cant elect eight. Two of Ruef't judiciary
candidate pulled thru by a narrow mar
gin, Judge Cook for dittrict court of ap
peals and Judge Morgan for the superior
court. Democratic managert are ttill
inclined to claim that Bell it elected gov
ernor but the figures are against them.
The Democrats this afternoon cut down
their estimate of Bell's total plurality to
1 8,000 and concede Lot Angeles to Gill
ette. This wat based on the returns
tmce noon but there it little doubt of
Gillette't election by a email majority.

ic managers thit morning ittued a ttat
ment in which Bell's e'eclion wat claim
ed by not less than 9.000.
They declare that Oillett canied fifteen
countiet with a total plurality of eighty
seven hundred and give. Bell forty-four
counties with a plurality of 1900,625
Bell figures that the number of countiet
hat dnubtlesnly been exaggerated, par
ticularly in Sacramento county where the
Democrat! claim 3,500 plurality but
which really amount! to fifteen hundred
