Returns Coming in slowly-Both
Sides Claim Victory,
CROOKED WORK BY DEMOCRATS
Thousands of Ballots Thrown Out
for Unfair Reason.
BALTIMORE r EP Z UBLICAN


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, November 6.-The re-
suit of the election for the general assembly
is still in Goubt, and it is probable that
nothing but the official returns will settle
the question as to which party will control
that body on joint ballot on the face of the
returns. So far as they are known, the
republicans have the best of it, and the
leaders of that party are claiming that they
will have a majority and that they will be
able to defeat Mr.. Gorman'S hopes of re-
election
The democrats claim that a recount in the
city and complete returns outside will give
them the majority. They say that recount
will show that they have elected three
members of the city delegation and have
carried other places which now appear TO
have gone republican. 1t is probable that
neither party will have more than three or
four majority and at the present time Mr.
Gorman's return to Washington as Weiiins-
tons successor is an unsolved problem.
Crooked Work of Democrats.
AS was forecast in The Star, the crooked
ballots gave the democrats nearly all the
counties they carried. Had they put out
fair ballot in all parts of the state the re-
publican majority would have been very
large, and Mr. German would have been
defeated beyond all doubt.
Mr.. German is here today directing op-
erationS, and is in close conference with
his party associates. The republicans are
closely watching affairs, and are deter
mined that so far as they can prevent it no
crooked work shall deprive them of the
fruits of their victory. AS ii is the whole
matter is in doubt, but indications are that
the republicans will control the general
assembly by a small majority. unless their
opponents are able to deprive them of what
they have won against such great adds.

REPUBLICANS SWEEP IOWA.
Cummins for Governor Will Have
$4,000 Plurality.

DES MONIES, Iowa, November Gre
turns are coming in slowly, only one-half
of the 2,1o0 precincts having been heard
from. If the same percentage of gain in
majority continues Cummns, republican
candidate for governor, will have $1,000
over that Of Phillips, democrat.
The prohibition vote has been largely in
creased, advancing from 5000 last year to
10000 this year. Practically every pre-
cinct heard from shows falling off in
the democratic vote. Out of the ninety
nine counties in the state the democrats
have carried only six. The Legislature.
from present returns, will contain 125 re-
publicans and twenty-five democrats a
gain of ten for the republicans Chair
man spence contends that when. all the re-
turns are in the majority for the republi-
can ticket will show more than 100 600
majority for the republicans, and that the
gain in the legislature will be fourteen in
stead of ten. The total vote shows fall
ing off of % per cent.

JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE,
Finding of the Board in the Case of
Private Hurley.

Secretary Long has approved the findings
of a naval board convened at the Norfolk
navy yard to inquire into the shooting of
Charles Miner, ordinary seaman, who was
killed by Private Edward F. Hurley of the
marine corps on the 2Sth Of September while
trying to escape from the guard at the New
York navy yard. Miner was prisoner and
was being transferred to vessel in the
slip, to be taken to the naval prison at Nor
folk, when he made an attempt to escape
and was shot in the back by Hurley while
running away.
The finding OF the board was that 'in its
opinion the shooting was justifiable homi-
eide at the hands of Private Hurley while
in the proper discharge Of his duties" In
approving this finding the Secretary of the
Navy says that no further proceedings are
deemed necessary in the case. He directs
that Hurley. who has been in confinement
at Norfolk, be released at once and restored
to duty.

There now seems 10 be no doubt of the
election of David ]. Lewis, democrat, and
law partner of Representative George A.
Pearre, as state senator over ]. Philip Ro-
man, republican, by about 200 majority.
The whole democratic ticket is thought to

Only three precincts s-Frostburg. one of
Westernport and Midland-are vet to be
heard from. and they will not materially
change the result, although the republi-
cans have hopes of saving several members
of the house of delegates
The defeat is due to the fact that the re-
publican vote did not get out. and to an
ugly factional fight against the alleged
slate-made" ticket Many ballots were
thrown out, and the vote counted will prob
ably be between 1909 and 5000 less than

Mr.. Perry Belmont. who carSae<over from

prised or despondent over the fesults in
New York city when an Evening Star re-
porter met him at the New Willard this
morning. In fact, he indicated an opinion
that the result foreshadowed a reorganiza-
tion of the democracy in Greater New York,
and he named Edward M Shepard of
Brooklyn, the defeated candidate for
mayor. as the man upon whom the task of
perfecting this organization would probably
devolve. Mr.. Belmont supported Mr.. Shep-

LANDSLIDE TO LOW
Fusionists Gain Pronounced Victory
in New York,
REVOLT IN TAMMANY'S RANKS
One Who Supported Reform
Ticket Outlines His Views.
COMPROMISE WITH VICE
SDecia! From Staff Correspondent.

Snecia, From Staff Correspondent.
NEW YORK, November 6-Outraged pub
lie decency and incensed private opinion
combined to GUST Crokerism and Deveryism
and have succeeded. The upper and the
neither worlds of New York have joined
hands in a movement impossible for either
to accomplish alone.
Tammany overplayed it's game of robbery,
oppression and graft until even portion of
its own serfs revolted. 1t has been said all
along that the success of the fusionists de-
pended upon the extent of the insurrection
known to be brewing in Tammany's ranks.
New York will now enter upon an expert
mental period, and every citizen who con-
graduates himself that power of public Of
flee has been given to Low and to Jerome
asks himself anxiously, What will he do
with it?' The suppression of Tammany for
the future, or the return of Tammany to
office with renewed power depends upon
the wise, practical and successful solving of
the municipal and social problems by these
two gentlemen.
One of the former Tammany leaders who
aided the revolt against Tammany and who
appriSed me from the first of the growing
discomfort and what it indicated made the
following significant statement to me to-
day: I'VE expect Mr.. Low and Mr.. Jerome
to proceed cautiously with reforms New
York is not to be made SpotleSS in a day.
We will demand, however, that police ex-
tortion from the unfortunate classes must
cease Immediately. There is to be no more
blood money. Social evils are to be regu-
lated, for some cannot be suppressed. We
do not want too rigorous enforcement of the
excise laws. We must not have Sunday

Want Vice. but No BlackmaiI.

want Vice. but NO blnck mail.
'In other words 1 suggested, you want
the town to enjoy its vice without having to
pay tribute to the police"
THAT is it exactly he replied. THAT
is the price of our enlistment in this fight
against our old friends and former allies
Now, how far Mr.. Low and Mr.. jerome
will go in meeting the wishes of the faction
thus represented is problematical, 1t is the
general belief that Mr.. Low will be con-
servative in enforcing reforms affecting
strictly social questions, having in mind
some failures Of his predecessors in that
spect. He will purify the police department
and abolish the system of protection and
extortion. Mr.. Jerome is after bigger game
than the unfortunate roamers of the Ten
derloin. He will stop the flow of munci-
pal monies into private Golfers first thing,
and will then devote his attention to round
ing up some notorious Violators of the law
who have escaped in the past.
In the meantime Tammany plays Brer
Rabbit. Tammany is defeated, not ami
hiated. Croker may step down and out,
and another leader will be found who will
reorganize the braves, and though with
depleted war chest and curtailed perquis-
ties will line up for the next contest, TO
come as soon as the new reformers make
a mistake. If the reform screws are put
on too hard TammaHy will benefit from the
reaction. Tammany expects the fusionsts
to fall out among themselves in the divi-
sion of the spoils.
How long can Senator Platt and Mr.
Jerome dwell in harmony? Tammany has
had practical experience of what happens
when thieves fall out among themselves.
May it not expect similar results when re-
formers disagree.
Tammany's Role for the Future.
Tammanys part is that of the make
mischief from now on, part ii is well
qualified to play in the circumstances. The
change will go into effect January L. In
the interim Devery remains in office with
the probable perpetuation until that time
of some of the evils New York has set out
to reform. But he may have before him a
vision of that impulsive, courageous young
Jerome who will have a long arm when he
becomes district attorney and Devery will
beware of the mailed hand
Van Wyck, the ice trust candidate for
supreme court justice, goes down in the
crash whereat there are loud cries of de
light and much shouting There IS the
greatest public rejoicing over Jeromes
election. But in corporation offices and in
certain republican quarters you might see
a querulous little smile on mems faces
which would indicate their belief tha. one
man of the fusion ticket should have been
spared. N o. NJ.
