 President Roosevelt was kept i'm formed of the results of the election during the evening while aboard the train returning to Washington, and later at the White House by Associated Press bulletins and private dispatches. While anxious for news from every quarter. his greatest interest centered in the result in New York city. He expressed keen satisfaction over the election of the fusion ticket there. Soon after reaching the White House he telegraphed congratulations to Ma yor-elect Low, and afterwards, when the election of Jerome appeared to be beyond any question. he sent a tele- gram to the new district attorney.

THE END OF THE FIGHT
Chief Crcker Explains the Causes of
 Defeat.

New York. Nov. 5.-After several weeks the hottest campaign fight ing ever seen in this city over a mu- nicipal election came to and end today wher the ballots were cast It passed with unwonted quiet, considering the high feeling that had previously been exhibited. There were a few fights at the polls among individuals, but none of a serious nature. and out of the scores of arrests made few prisoners were held by the magistrates.
 The great feature of the voting was the early casting of the ballots. There was a drizzlinE rain up 60 9 o'cloc-.. but after that the weather cleared up. Seth Low cast his ballot before s o'clock while Shepard voted at half past eleven. Richard Croker and his two sons were numbers one. two and three at their polling place. one minute after six Senator Depew deposited his ballot shortly after g. while Mayor Van Wyck waited until o'clock.
 The practical use of the voting ma chine was demonstrated in the Eigh- teenth precinct in Brooklyn. where the result was known two minutes after the polls were closed. An incident which attracted attention in New York city was the refusal of the cleo llOli JudStS III Oilt ulSlTltl tO dilpN one voter to cast his ballot because he had made bet of a box of cigars on the result of the election Croker read the returns at the headquarters of Tam many Hall. fc was surrounded by a crowd long prominent in the organi- zation, among them were John Carroll Mayor Van Wyck, Corporation Coun- sci Whalen and others. Croker listened with his customary stolidity as the bulletins were read.
 Tonight Croker. commenting upon Shepard's defeat, said he could not as- cribe it to any issue. ''The people wanted a change" said he, and the organizatio bows to the will of the people. Tammany Hall has been in power for practically seventeen years. If any one party were to remain in control for too long q period the ten dency would be toward a perpetuation of power until the result would re- semble q monarchy. Tammany Hall has always proflted by defeat. I hope it will do so this time"
 Croker said all dissatisfied persons had rebelled against the democratic nominees. and that had done much toward the result. As to his own plans for the immediate future he had noth ing to say. He said, however. that Low would have the good wishes of the democratic organization in his admin istration.

New York, Nov. 5-Seth Low, former president of Columbia university, and four years ago the citizens candidate for first mayor of Greater New York, was elected today the second mayor of Greater New York by d plurality any where from 3O,O00 to 10000, defeating Edward M. Shepard of Brooklyn, the democratic nominee. The vote. though somewhat less than at the presidential election d year ago, is the largest boiled at a municipal election.
 In addition to the mayoralty, public interest was largely centered in the nomination by the fusionists of William Travers Jerome for district attorney and Mayor Van Wyck by the demo- crats for justice of the supreme court who were voted for only in the terri tory contained in New York county. The returns up to a late hour indicate that Jerome has been elected by com fortable plpurality and that Van Wych has been defeated. the latter running behind his ticket between fifteen and twenty thousand.
 Returns indicate the complete tri . umph here of the fusion ticket of Greater New York. Reports from various sections of New York state show that the republicans will retain control of the lower house of the legis- lature. In various municipal contests reported from up state the most inter- esting elections noted are those at Al bany. Troy, Rochester, Syracuse. Buff falo and Albany, which were carried by the republicans.
 Tonight Seth Low gave out formal statement, in which he said: The out come of this election is q splendid vim dication of universal suffrage. From all parts of the city have come votes that have rebuked the Tammany orgie of the last four years. All the patron age of the city and limitIess money have not availed against the aroused indignation of the people. and it is safe to say that an absentee government and a government for private gain will not be seen again in New York for many q day. This is no mans triumph. but it is the peoples victory
 Low is in receipt of hundreds of tele- grams from prominent men. not only in the city, but also from different parts of the state and country. among them being congratulations from Presi- dent Roosevelt and Senator Foraker of Ohio
 Edward NJ. Shepard made public acknowledgement of his defeat tonight at his headquarters in Brooklyn. He sent a telegram of reorganization 10 LOW and dictated a statement to the reporters, in which Ne expressed his hope that the incoming administration will be a successful one. His telegrarl read: With all sincerity ] wish you the utmost success in the great office to which the people of Greater New York have called you

it is said on good authority that a lit- tie later Croker said this was his last political fight. Croker asked Senator Sullivan whom he desired as a leader. Sullivan answered that John F. Carroll would be pleasing to him. Then and there, it is said, Richard Croker abdi- cated the leadership Of Tammany Hall and turned it over to John F. Carroll There was some discussion as to the plans of the reorganization of Tam many. in which Croker took no part, except to suggest that younger blood be admitted to the inner councils of the organization
 The party proceeded to Tammany HaI where John F. Carroll was await ing them. He was appraised of the pur- pose of Croker. but said nothing He accompanied Croker to the democratic club. and going up stairs remained closeted with him for nearly an hour It was after this conference that Gro 'ker announced: This is my last cam paign."
 It is now said that Daniel F. Me Mahon will call meeting of the ex- ecutive committee within week. when Croker will tender his resignation and on motion of Senator Timothy D. Sul- livan, John F. Carroll will be elected the new leader of Tammany Hall.
 Before retiring tonight Croker told some of his intimate friends that this was the last campaign he would per sonally conduct

SLEEPING ON IT
Probability of a Hung Jury in the
 Flores Case.

When at half past nine o'clock the jury in the Flores murder case sent word down that more blankets were wanted, those who had been waiting about the court house to hear the yer dict went home to bed. It is not be- lieved to be probable that an agreement will be reached. It is surmIsed that the questions mainly before the jury are those of manslaughter and acquittal.
 The evidence in the case was all put in early yesterday. The afternoon was taken up with the arguments. At half past three o'clock the matter was left with the jury.
 The testimony left the case very much clouded. The defendant. who is said to be only fl years old, and a Yaqui, about three months ago shot and killed another Indian named Moloque at a settlement seven miles south of Tempe. Moloque had beaten the boy q short time before. At the time of the shooting both parties and all the witnesses were drunk. The de- fense claimed that the shooting was accidental: that the defendant, boy like. was fooling with a loaded gun. That theory was not supported by much of the testimony; neither was it made to appear that the shooting had been preceded by reconciliation.
 The case of George Mcdonald. charged with the killing of F.. P. Gard ner, the train watchman at Ringling's cricus, will be called this morning. It was set for Monday, but was crowded out of place by the Flores case. It will probably be the most interesting incl dent of the term.
 Mrs. J. Brawley was granted di- vorce from Milton Brawley on the ground of abandonment and failure ro support. These parties were married in 1894 and lived together two years.

 Croker said he was much disappoint- ed at the Brooklyn vote, which he had expected to make a good showing for Shepard. As to the cause of the defeat of the democratic ticket. Croker said he was obliged to ascribe it to the large silent vote and the fact that people sometimes want a change.
 President Roosevelt's district, the town of Oyster Bay, was carried by the republicans for the assembly by seven majority, and by the democratic candi- date for district attorney.
 In the vote for district attorney 790 districts out of SS7 give Jerome, fusion 13S,557; Unger, democrat, 12S,150.

WOMAN DISCLOSED IT
The Federalists Preparing to Petition Congress to Grant Autonomy to the Philippines-An Outline of the Plan by Which This Country Will Remain in General Supervision Over the Islands.

Manila, Nov. 5.-A plot to massacre the American garrison at Moncada, province of Tarlac, in the island of Luzon, has been revealed by the wife of one of the conspirators. Several town officials are implicated. The woman who revealed the plot hid de- tective beneath the house in which the leaders of the conspiracy had a meeting. Arrests followed and many discriminating papers were seized. The plan was to set fire to a house close to the barracks after dark. When the soldiers came out to assist in ex- tinguishing the flames 25o conspirators, armed with bolos. were 10 rush on the guard, capture their arms and pro- ceed to massacre the garrison.
 Commissioner Wright today took the oath of office of vice governor. He will be acting governor during the conva- lescence of Governor Taft, who prob ably will be unable to resume duty for several weeks. The newspapers ap- prove of the appointment.
 The United States Philippine com mission today passed the treason laws with slight alterations. Several of the Filipinoes spoke against them. The federalists are holding a convention to arrange a petition to congress, asking that body to grant autonomy to the Philippines, with d governor accepted by the president of the United States, with a veto power over the two houses: the senate to consist of thirty members, fourteen of them to be named by the governor and sixteen to be elected. In case of the death of the governor, it is proposed that his du- ties shall devolve upon the president of the senate temporarily The lower house. according to the proposed plan, shall consist of representative for each 100 inhabitants. Finally. the fed eralists desire that every Filipino shall be pardoned for offenses arising from political causes
 '''rhe petition" Buencanino said, 'is to be sent to congres, and must be as pure as crystal. It would not be so if Paterno were allowed to participate in it"
 Paterno was formerly president of the so-called Filipino cabinet. Buen- camino is one of the directors of the federal party. and was at one time a member of the so-called Filipino congress.

in Ohio. and insures the reelection of Senator Foraker.
 Chairman Dick gave out a statement late tonight that the republicans had carried the state for governor by 5O,0CG, with a decisive ma jority in each branch of the legislature. The democratic state committee had no claims to make.
 Kilbourne said he felt better over carrying his home county. Franklin. with a democratic gain of 5000 than if he had been elected governor without carrying Franklin. The greatest re- publican demonstration here tonight was over the returns from Toledo, showing that Nash carried Lucas coun- ty. with the legislative ticket.
 The extent of the republican success is attributed to the silver democrats not voting: to the attitude of John fi. Mclean, the democratic candidate for governor two years ago, and the Ohio member of the national democratic committee; to the superior organiza- ton of the republicans. and other causes. The republicans attribute the result largely to a popular desire not to disturb the prevailing prosperity, in accordance with Senator Hanna's cam paign argument.

COUNTY STATEHOOD COMMITTEE
Proceedings of Last Nights Board of
 Trade Meeting.

The board of trade held a meeting at which action was taken to keep alive locally the enthusiasm now existing on the statehood question and to give the cause a new impetus outside the terri tory in various ways.
 In order tG accomplish this purpose 1t was decided to appoint committee of twenty-five men, to be known as the Maricopa county statehood committee, which organization will have charge of this especial work. A committee con- sisting of J. w. Doris, H. I. Latham and B. A. Fowler. was appointed to cooperate with President Ford of the board in the selection of the committee of twenty-five, themselves to be of tn ? number. Upon the organization of the statehood committee that body may take action such as it deemed best for local work, but it is charged by the board with one duty. which is to at once be- gin campaign of education against the members of congress. opening cor respondence with each senator and representative and placing before each one the reasons why Arizona should b. admitted.
 The board of trade will also keep up its work along the same line and in VIII tO secure cooperation of other commercial or ganizations throughout the country, thus swelling the already rapidly grow ing influence in favor of statehood. It is altogether likely that. following the lead of the Maricopa county board of trade in this matter. the other counties of the territory will organize similar statehood committees, thus multiply ing the force that will be brought to bear upon members of congress.
 After the statehood subject was dis posed of Mir. B. A. Fowler. who has charge of the work of securing the bonus for the sugar factory. reported that the committee was making good progress and that it was nearing the end of its labors. Everything is en- couraging at the present time and he feels assured that the committee will have an altogether pleasing report to make at an early day.
