Union candidate for the first mayor
of Greater New York, was elected yes
terday the second mayor of Greater
New York by a plurality of SO, 4O4,
defeating Edward M. Shepard,

Phe campaign was an exciting one.
and the vote, though somewhat less
than the presidential election a year

nomination by the Fusionists of Will
liam Travers Jerome for district at
! torney, and Mayor Robert A. Van
Wyck by the Democrats for Justice of
the supreme court, who were voted
for only in the territory contained in
New York county. Jerome was elected
by comfortable plurality, and Mayor
Van Wyck was defeated, the latter
running behind his ticket from $4,000
to 10000.
The complete triumph of the Great
er New York Fusion ticket was the
election of Charles Vincent Fornes,
the nominee of the Citizens Union
and the Republicans for president Of
the board of aldermen, defeating
George M. Van Hoesen, the Demo
| cratic nominee.

mediately after the polls were closed

Croker Comedies Election of Low.
New York, Nov. Orchard Crole
comedies the election of Seth Low
Fusion candidate for mayor. He salt
he was much disappointed at tn
Brooklyn vote, as he had expected
: Mr.. Shepard to make a good showing
there, it being his home borough. A
to the causes for the defeat of tn
, Democratic ticket, Mr.. Croker said h
was inclined to ascribe it to the larg
J. silent vote and the fact that the pee
pie sometimes feel that they want
change.

Columbia students appeared in the v
cinity of Thirty-fourth street an
= Broadway. They wore silk hats an
/ carried Chinese lanterns on the end
; of canes. They were jubilant tha
