If I get a speeding ticket in New York, will it go on my record in
California record. In other words, do I have to pay it? Please show the URL.

Too bad it is not the other way around, that is, you getting a ticket in
California and going to New York.  Yes, if you get a ticket in New York,
it will almost certainly show up on your record in California.

According to the Drivers Research Institute (dui.com) web site, among
others, this is because of the Driver's License Compact (DLC) "require
member states to report tickets received by motorist to the state where
they received a license to drive so as to receive points and get an
insurance hike."
http://www.dui.com/dmvinformation/compact.html

Here you can find the member states, and when they joined, on the same
site.

According to the above site, the DLC and not the Non-Resident Violators
Compact (NRVC) is applicable, as it does not appear that California is a
signee of the NRVC.

From this "About the Drivers License Compact" web page, it appears that
New York, even though a signee to the DLC, might not assess points for
tickets received outside of New York, so that is why it is too bad it is
not the other way around.

"Colorado, Ohio, and Wisconsin do not assess points for out-of-state
convictions. ... New York, sames rules apply as for Colorado except New
York DOES apply points for moving violations in Ontario and Quebec."

Just because you pay the ticket, this does not always mean you will not
get points as well.  Depending on the charges, etc. you still might get
points, which will then get sent off to California, and might affect
your insurance, etc.  I suggest you get a traffic lawyer in New York to
help you deal with this.

If you need any clarification, feel free to ask, and please don't shoot
the messenger.

Found web addresses pertaining to this, also clarified what was posted
there. Thank you.

Yes, you have to pay it.

I cannot vouch for the legality of this, but I'm sure someone else
might be able to.  I did run across this though, and perhaps it will
help you a little.

"...In general most states belong to the Nonresident Violator Compact
of 1977. This means that speeding tickets received out of your home
state will be reported back to your home state and included on your
record for drivers license and insurance points. However there are
certain states that do not put out of state traffic tickets on your
record and others that will only enter speeding tickets that are over
a certain mph above the speed limit.
Kansas, Wyoming, Minnesota, Arizona, Iowa, and South Dakota will not
put a speeding ticket on record unless it is 10 or more mph over the
limit. Georgia will not enter speeding tickets unless they are more
than 14 mph over the limit. New York and Colorado will not enter out
of state speeding tickets at all unless they are serious violations
like reckless. Michigan also has special rules about out of state
tickets.
You need to check with your own Department of Motor Vehicles to
determine the regulations in your state. You obviously have recognized
the importance of keeping any traffic violation off your record. Even
one minor speeding ticket could increase your insurance premiums by as
much as 25% for three years..."

You should also be aware, in addition to the other comments, that if
you do not pay the ticket and ever plan on driving in New York again,
you would find yourself in serious trouble if you got pulled over. 
What happens when you ignore a ticket in New York is the court marks
you as a scofflaw on your driver's license, and notified you by mail. 
If you don't respond to the scofflaw notice within a certain period of
time (I believe two months), your license is suspended in New York
(what this means is that if you have a New York license you can't
drive anywhere - if you have an out-of-state license, you just can't
drive in New York).  If you are caught driving in New York with a
suspended license, you will be charged with Aggravated Unlicensed
Operation of a Motor Vehicle in the Third Degree, which is a
misdemeanor under section 511.1 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, and is
actually punishable by jail (although a first offender would almost
certainly be offered a reduced plea to a non-criminal infraction and
pay a fine).  If you have three or more suspensions active on your
license and are caught driving, the crime is bumped up a degree and
there is mandatory jail time (minimum 7 days, max 180) or probation. 
Ten or more makes it a felony (up to four years in jail).

In other words, pay the fine.
