NEW YORK, Nov 6.7-Reports re-

and Manhattan Island add rather than
detract from the victory of the fusion
lists yesterday. Shepard appears to
have only carried single borough,
and in this borough. Queens, his plu-
rality will amount to but few hun
dred. In New York county the Dem
ocrats seem to have lost numerically
and did not get a single man. The

last night. 1t is is difficult to estl-
mate the final vote Of Van Wyck, as

In the municipal elections through
out the tate the Republicans made
gains in the larger cities. Buffalo
was the only frst-clas city outside
of New York. and there F. c. Knight
a Republican, was elected mayor by
over 5000 majority. OF the four I'd

Albany and Troy were both carried by
