    DiNapoli was declared the winner by New York 1 at 1:30 a.m. and quickly put out a victory statement.

    But his Republican challenger, retired hedge fund manager Harry Wilson, refused to concede, saying there are more than 210,000 absentee ballots that should be counted.

    DiNapoli, a long time Assembly member from Long Island, was appointed by the Legislature in early 2007 to fill out the term of disgraced Controller Alan Hevesi.
