LABOR CANDIDATE ELECTED
TGNATIUS A. SULLIVAN CHOSEN
 MAYOR OF H1RTFORD.

Received Practically the Solid Vote of
 the Trades Unions Defeating Major Dwight by 505 Votes-Lntter's Friends surprised-Republica Elect Hlnjori- ty to Common Council.
 Hartford, April 7.-Organized labor won victory in Hartford to-day. Fol- lowing the example of Bridgeport and Ansonia, they have elected mayor of the city. They captured the democrat ic nomination, and their man, Ignatius A. Sullivan, received the solid vote, practically, of the trades unions. He received 6,639 votes to 6,134 for Major William B. Dwight, the republican nominee. The republicans succeeded in electing a majority of the common council. Sullivans majority of 505 votes was a surprise to many of the friends of Major Dwight who expected him to receive enough votes from the dissat- isfied democrats to offset the detecton of republican workingmen. The labor people are out with a band parading the streets, and there is great rejoicing among them.
 MT. Sullivan has been a clerk in clothing store. He was one of the lead- CTS in the organization of the Clerks union a few years ago, and this union affiliating with the Central Labor union, he has been ever since a leader among the workingmen. He has been presi- dent of the Hartford Central Labor union and is serving his second term as president of the State Federation of Labor. He has lived in Hartford seven years.
