tory In the first municipal election In
Greater New York is a sweeping one.

rality by which the entire ticket head
ed by Robert A. Van Wyck has carried
the gigantic municipality.

may be larger than that. Van Wyck
has polled' vote which falls possibly
1000 under the combined votes OF
General Tracy. Republican, aud Seth

The Indications are that Van Wyck re-
ceived 21O.O0O. Low li5.O00. Tracy l0O.-
no and George 5000. Tie aggregate
In swellcd by u few thousand votes cast
