the candidate Of the democrats, while
ex-Gov. Black managed the campaign
for the progressive democratic-re-
publican ticket The candidate for
mayor, ID. Il. Conway, supported by
the former governor, was easily
elected. The result in Rochester was
close, but Mayor Warmers friends
claim his election over the republican
candidate. In Syracuse Mayor Nc
Guire, for a number of years past the
democratic mayor of the city, was de-
feated by the republican nominee.
At 10 o'clock last night Richard
Croker, commenting on Mr.. Shepard's
defeat, said he could not ascribe it to
any one issue. "rhe people wanted
change" said he, land the organi-
zation bows to the will of the people.
Tammany Hall has been in power for
practically IL years and if any one
party were to remain in control for
too long period, the tendency
would be toward a perpetuation of
power, until the result would resem-
BILE monarchy. Tammany has al
ways profited by defeat and hope
will do so this time"
Mr.. Croker said that all dissatisfied
persons had voted against the DEM
ocratic nominees and that had con-
tributed much to the result. AS to
his own plans for the immediate fu-
ture he had nothing to say. He said,
however, that Mr.. Lowe would have
the good wishes of the democracy in
his administration.
Mr.. Croker, Maurice Untermyer and
Senator II. ID. Sullivan were together
at dinner last night, and it is said
on good authority that Mr.. Croker
said this was his last political fight.
Mr.. Croker asked Senator Sullivan
whom he desired as leader. Sullivan
answered that John +. Carroll would
be pleasing to him. Then and there,
it is stated, Richard Croker abdicat-
ed his leadership of Tammany Hall
and turned it over to John +. Car
! roll.
There was discussion as to the
plans of "a reorganization of Tam
many, in which Mr.. Croker took no
part except to suggest that younger
blood be admitted to the inner coun-
| ellis of the wigwam.
The party proceeded to Tammany
Hall, where John F. Carroll was
awaiting them. He was apprised Of
the purpose of Mr.. Croker, but said
nothing. He accompanied Mr.. Gro
ker to the Democratic club in a cab,
and going up stairs, remained closet
ed with him for nearly an hour.
1t is said that Daniel +. McMahon
will call meeting of the executive
committee within q week or so and
Mr.. Croker will then tender his res
| ignation and, on motion of Senator
Timothy ID. Sullivan, John +. Carroll
| will be elected the new leader of
| Tammany Hall.
| Seth Low at 9 o'clock said: 'I sup
| pose it is safe to assume the result Of
the election is now assured. 1t bears
out what my friends have anticipated
and am very much gratified by the
result. This is a pleasant outcome
of a hard struggle. 1 appreciate
heartily the splendid support the
newspapers have given this move
ment. / think they have been a
splendid and important factor in
bringing about the result"
