Harriman Wins In the Contest for President of Big System. 0 FROM ATLANTIC TO PACIFIC Harriman Will Now Control a Direct Lino from tho Atlantic to the Pa cific, Residing tho Fulfillment of Plana. NEW YORK, Nov. 7. By the elec tion today of J. T. Harahan. as pres ident of tho Illinois Central Railroad to succeed Hamilton Fish, It is be lieved that E. H. Harriman ha at last realised the fulfillment of his plans, outlined two years ago, to con trol a railroad line from the Atlantic to the Pacific. In this great plan, the Illinois Cen tral was the one link missing to com plete the line of railroad from New York to San Francisco, and to Port land, Oregon, and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, and from the gulf to the Pacific again. Taken together, this system. Is uni fied, puts under the control of Mr. Harriman. more than 20,000 miles of railroad track, capitalized at more than one billion seven hundred million of dollars. Harahan was elected pres ident of the company by a vote of eight to nothing. The adherents of Fish did not vote, as they realized they were beaten. NEW YORK ELECTION. Continued from page 1) vote myself unreservedly." At the headquarters of the Inde pendence League tonight, the follow ing statement was issued: "Reports from up-state counties Indicate that not only did Hearst cut down the Re publican majority materially, but the Independence League vote for Hear?t was not counted in many counties, j The vote will have to be added to the Hearst vote In order to give the cor rect Hearst figures in the state. Last night. Captain William A. Chanler stated that his brother Robert, who was running for sheriff in Duchess county, ha dthreatened bringing man damus proceedings against several election board before they consented to count the Independence League vote for Hearst. Today other reports were received indicating that the Independence League votes for Hearst were not counted in Erie, and Allegheny coun ties. Reports came in also showing in several districts in Clinton, Catter agus, Herkimer, Wayne. Albany, One daga and Washington counties, there was a failure on the part of the elec-1 tion board to count the Hearst votes, which were cast under the scales. The facts developed today, explaining the Sreat falling off in the total vote cast yesterday, compared to the total vote of two years ago. There is no doubt that the votes represented by this fall ing off were cast for Hearst and hi? associates under the emblem of the scales. These matters are being fully Investigated.
