FULLER AND SMITH LEAD IN GUBERNATORIAL RACE

Riding on the Republican wave, which swept over Massachusetts yesterday, Lieutenant-Governor Alvan T. Fuller was far in advance of Mayor James M. Curley in the race for the governor ship of the state. The majority of Boston papers had conceded the election to Fuller early this morning, and Curley was so far behind that it seemed impossible for him to win. Although few returns had been heard from in Boston itself, the Republican lead was large enough to outweigh the majority that Curley is expected to receive in the city.

At an early hour this morning the New York state election for governor seemed to be going in favor of Alfred E. Smith, the Democratic candidate. Theodore Roosevelt Jr. '08, the Republican nominee, was very close to Smith, however, and only a few of the New York papers were willing to concede the victory to Smith, whose triumph was largely due to the fact that New York City itself voted overwhelmingly Democratic. Roosevelt put up a strong fight, and outside of the city he polled the majority of votes.
