New York, Nov. 6.-Seth Low, for.
mer president Of Columbia university
n four years ago the Citizens Union
candidate for the first mayor OF Great
err New York, was elected the second
mayor of Greater New York by n plu-
rality ranging anywhere from 10000 70
0 1000, defeating Edward NJ. Shepard
Of Brooklyn, the democratic nominee,
The campaign was an exciting one and
the, vote, though somewhat less thar
the presidential election a year ago,
was the largest eve polled In a munic'
ipal contest In this country.
In addition to the canVass for mayor
public interest centered largely In the
nomination by the fusionists Of Will
lam Traverse Jerome for district attor-
ney and Mayor Robert a. Van Wyck
by the democrats for Justice OF the su-
preme court. They were voted for only
In the territory contained In New York
county. Returns received up to III
o'clock D.. m. indicate that Jerome had
been elected by q comfortable plurality
and that Mayor Van Wyck had been
defeated, the latter running behind his
ticket from $1,000 to 90 GOO.
Returns also Indicate the complete
triumph here Of the Greater New York
fusion ticket.
Reports received from the various
sections of New York state show that
the republicans will retain control OF
the lower house of the state legislature,
the number of republican and demo
cratic assemblymen not differing ma
terially from the figures of the preced-
ing years.
A Clean Sweep.
] q. m.-With the election Of Seth
Low as y Charles V. Fornes as
president Of the board Of aldermen, and
Edward s. Grout as controller, the flu
sionists triumph In Greater New York
appears nearly complete.
The latest returns indicate that the
f~usionists have elected Jacob A. Can
tor president of the borough Of Man
haitian, j. Edward Swanstrom presi-
lent OF the borough OF Brooklyn, and
George Cromwell president OF the bor-
ough Of Richmond. The borough pres
idency In the Bronx appears TO be in
doubt, James l.. Wells, f%usionist, and
Louis Il. Haffen, democrat, both claim
ing the prize. The democrats are GER
tain OF one borough president, Joseph
Cassidy being elected in Queens, owing
TO n split between the republican and
the Citizens Union party.
These results, unless modified by the
official figures. will give the fusionists
complete control of the taxing machin.
ious boards concerned in the appropri-
ton and distribution of the public
funds.
Lose Their Stronghold.
Perhaps the greatest surprise Of the
election next to the defeat In Staten Is.
land OF Congressman Nicholas Muller
who was a candidate for borough presi'
dent In the borough of Richmond, Is tho
apparent triumph OF the county ticket In
the old city and county of New York.
Justice of the Supreme Court Morgan
J.. O'Brlen, Samuel Greenbaum, Johr
Proctor Clarke and James A. Blanchard
the fuslonlst candidates, were all elected
defeating Robert A. Van Wyck, Charles
w. Dayton and Charles IL. nox Jus.
tice O'Brien was nominated upon both
tickets. Mayor Van Wyck ran heavily
behind his associates on the judicial anG
county ticket.
The election of william Travers Jerome
fusionist, over Henry w. Unger, demo,
crat, is admitted by all parties.
The office OF sheriff on the county
ticket in New York county Is stu claimed
by both parties, John T. Oakley, demo.
crat. running ahead of William J. O'Brien
fusionist. 1t may require the oftlcia.
count TO decide the result.

ent sections of New York state indicate
that the lower house of the state legis,
lature will be composed of assemblymer
grouped as follows:
Republicans, S4: democrats, 45; fusion,
lists, q. Generally speaking, in Greater
New York the fusionists were supported
by the regular republican organization.
