New York, Nov Safer a cam
paign unusual In It's public interest
and excitement Tammany hall met
defeat Tuesday In Its hard fought ef-
forts TO elect James W. Osborne to the
district attorneyship Of New York
| county. and saved the mayoralty OF
the city probably only by few thou
sand votes SO close was the contest
that I'D to IL o'clock the result was
not certain. but at that time the indl'
cations were that George B. McClel-
| Ian. democrat, had been reelected
MAYOR for a four years term and that
William T. Jerome, independent, had
been reelected district attorney. The
cxt?nt to which the Tammany organi-
cation was shaken may be judged from
the fact that there was no fusion OF
the opposition parties, the means by
which the organization had been COM
battpd heretofore but that Jerome,
running as a candidate Of no party.
and with his record in office as his
platform, succeeded In overcoming
the former prestige Of the democratic
organization, and William r. Hearst
standing as the nominee Of the Mu-
nicipal Ownership league, new fac
tor in New York politics, came within
few THOUSAND votes Of being elected
mayor
Returns at II o'clock were complete
in Greater New York in the mayoral-
" contest, with the exception of oil
election districts scattered through
the city. The vote on these returns

Ian Of 3.15s
Mayer Weaver Wins Fight.
Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. S.-All Phil
adelphia has been swept by the
reform movement, the city party ticket
winning by a surprisingly large plu-
rality. While returns from only six
Of the AZ wards in this city had been
counted up to midnight, enough is
known Of the result in the remaining
wards to indicate the defeat Of the
republican local ticket by from 10000
to 1900 plurality.
The result has every appearance OF
landslide for reform not only in Phil
adelphia but throughout the state.
Returns up to midnight show that
the republicans carried. only q few
wards and these were held by narrow
margins. One year ago President
Roosevelt carried the city by 1SO,SS4
plurality.
United States Senator Penroses ward
the Eighth, which gave over 1900 re-
publican majority last year, was car
ried by the city party by 50 majority.
Ohio in Doubt.
Columbus, O., Nov. Sat 11o'clock
Tuesday night the result Of the cleo
ton in Ohio might still be considered
doubtful, although the democratic
leaders claimed the election Of Patti
son and the entire democratic ticket
by substantial pluralities, while the
republicans simply refused to concede
such a claim, insisting that the re-
turns we're insufficient at that hour to
indicate anything except that the vote
had been very heavy and that the
amount Of scratching had made count
ing very slow. In the cities the re-
publican loss exceeded 100, to the pre-
cinct, but as the loss outside Of the
large cities was 30 far as reported only
about 30 per precinct there was no GER
tainty that the loss would run high
enough to wipe out the 100000 repub-
lican plurality with which comparisons
were made. Less than 800 Of the 400
precincts had been heard from at II
o'clock.
| Amendment Probably Lost
Baltimore, Nov. S.-The election in
Maryland was for state comptroller,
legislature and county officers, and In
Baltimore for judge Of the supreme
court. sheriff, city clerk and surveyor.
The issue which engrossed popular
attention was proposed constitu-
tional amendment, the avowed pur-
pose Of which was to disfranchise me-
gro voters, but which aroused wide
spread opposition among many dem
Ocrats and foreign voters in both par
ties. The returns so far received
make certain the defeat Of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment by a
decisive majority Of 1900 or more.
