New York, Nov. G-Seth Low. for
mer president of Columbia university
and four years ago the citizens union
candidate for the first mayor. of Great
er New York, has been elected the Sec
ond mayor Of Greater New York by a.
plurality ranging anywhere from 30
600 to 10000, defeating Edward M.
Shepard OF Brooklyn, the Democratic
nominee. The campaign was an ex-
citing one, and the vote, though some
what less than that of the presidential
election year ago, was the largest
ever polled in a municipal contest in
this country.
In addition to- the canvass for mayor
public interest largely conferred in the
nomination by the fusionists of Will
lam Travers Jerome for district at
torney, and Mayor Robert A. Van
Wyck, by the Democrats, for Justice
of the supreme court They were
voted for only in the territory con-
tanned in New York county. Returns
indicate that Jerome has been elected
by comfortable plurality, and that
Mayor Van Wyck has been defeated,
the latter running behind his ticket
from $4,000 to 10000.
Returns also indicate the complete
triumph here of the Greater New York
fusion ticket, Charles Vincent Fornes,
the nominee of the citizens union and
the Republicans for president of the
Iofo
M. Van Hoesen, the Democratic NOM
inee. B. M. Circuit, for the past four
years Democratic president of tho
borough of Brooklyn, now the fusion
nominee for comptroller, has also de-
feated W. w. Laid, Jr., Dem.
b Control the Legislature.
Returns from the local, borough and
county tickets are incomplete. Re-
ports received from the various Sec
tons OF the state show that the Re-
publicans 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 preceding
years. In the various municipal con-
tests reported from up the state the
most interesting elections noted were
those of Albany, Troy, Rochester,
Syracuse and Buffalo. The city of
Albany was carried by the Republic
ans, Ex-senator David B. Hill taking
no active part in the local canvass.
The election in Troy was lively one,
a number Of arrests for illegal voting
being made. Former United States
Senator Murphy headed the fight for
the candidate of the Democrats, while
Former Governor Black managed the
campaign for the progressive Demo
cratic-Republcan ticket Seymour
Van Santwocd, the candidate for
mayor supported by Ex-Governor
Black, was easily elected. In Buffalo
the entire Republican city and county
tickets were elected, Erastus G,
Knight, the state comptroller, being
chosen mayor. The result in Roches-
ter was close, but Mayor Warmers
friends claim the election of the Re-
publican candidate,
Returns so far as received from diff
ferent sections of New York state in
dictate that the lower house of the
state legislature will be composed of
assenlblymen grouped as follows: Re-
publicans, "a; Democrats, As; Fusion
lists, p. Generally speaking, in Great
er New. York the Fusionists were sup
ported by the regular Republican or
ganization.
