total plurality over Wallace, repub-
Hcan, below the Bronx river will not
be less than los, 900, insuring his elec-
tion and democratic success in the
state.
The vote for Tracy, the republican
mayoralty candidate. was divided by
the candidacy of Seth Low upon the
citizens ticket. Low was second and
Tracy third in the contest.
The George vote was incopsiderable.
The death of it's leader evi- emily dis
integrated his following and thou
sands evidently voted for Tammany
candidates. 1t is claimed that young
George lost many votes through the
failure of inspectors to affiX his paster
to mayoralty tickets.
The unofficial vote for mayor fol-
lows: Van Wycll, 235, 800; Low, 49,
S73; Tracy, 1883; George, 20, 1856;
Gleason, 521. The vote for Van Wyck
is about 44.a5 per cent. of the total
vote cast, or less than the 1921 per
cent. cast for Bryan in 1896 in the same
territory.
Seth Low, the citizens union candi-
date for mayor, carried several assem-
bly, districts and polled a large vote,
ties for the Tammany forces. With
the exception possibly of six of the 81
assemblymen in Brooklyn and nine of
the 35 in New York, all the Tammany
candidates are elected. In Queens,
four of the assembly men are demo-
Gratis. The citizens union elected two
assembly men in New York county.
The present representation in the as
-,
New York is: New York county, 2S
democrats and 12 republicans; Kings
county, democrats and IA republic
ans; Queens county, 9 democrats and
republicans; Richmond county, 1 re-
publican. At least 1s democratic
councilmen, including the president,
have been elected and the board of
aldermen will be democratic by a
large majority.
New York states Surprise.
ALBANY. N. Y, Nov. 3.-The COM
plete re turns from the state, coming in
slowly, demonstrate that the repub-
liean landslides for the past two years
have been reversed, if not by giving as
large q majority for the democrats, at
least by changing something like a.
900 votes. Gov. Blacks plurality in the
state last year was over. 200, 900. John
Palmer, the republican secretary of
state, won the year previous by over
loo, 900. The indications are that
these enormous plnralities have
been swept away and a reverse
plurality of between so. 900 and so, 900
given. The greatest surprises of the
returns are the great gains made in
the assembly by the democrats, many
of them being in the counties and dis
tricts where there was no expectation
upon the part of democratic managers
of winning. Republicans explain these
gains by attributing them to the heated
municipal campaigns and the trading
of votes. The returns indicate that
the republicans will still control the
assembly. although by largely de-
creased majority.
More surprising, perhaps, than the
returns upon the state and assembly
district tickets, were the results of the
municipal campaign in the large cities.
Buffalo, Rochester Binghamton,
Syracuse, Utica, Albany, Troy and
ors. In Albany the conditions were
similar to those in New York. Two
republican candidates split up the vote
of that party and allowed the demo-
Gratis to win. The combined republic
an vote was 1900 in excess of the dem
ocratic vote. In Buffalo and Rochester
republican success was thought to be
assured prior to election, but
the results are foreign to the predic-
