QUIET At HEADQUARTERS
Parsons Still Thinks Fusion Vas the
WiSeSt Course.

No arrangements had been made to receive the
returns at the Republican county headquarters
except various leaders called UP and reported
TO Herbert Parsons Although Il was plain that
he had no hope that any member Of the fushion
county ticket had been elected he was not will
ing to concede the election Of any Of the Tam
many ticket outside of Tom" Foley when ne
left headquarters at midnight 81 should ike to
hear more reports the result of the count of
the split tickets" he said.
In New York County, two strong Republican
Assembly districts were lost. the 18th and Goth
the Diamond Backed District. On the other
hand the fusion ticket carried three districts
the 10th. 11th and 26th-carried last year by
Tammany. The candidates elected in the 11th
and 26th districts. though, are Hearst men.
Mr.. Parsons in reply to questions said he still
believed that fusion had been the wisest course
and that the Republicans had done much better
than they would have on a straight ticket In
regard to the general result, Mr.. Parsons said:
THE fact that the Democrats in New
Jersey makes IT plain to why the vote espe-
caIly in some of the strong Republican districts.
was not stronger. The Republican vote
probably affected by the financial situation.
II think it is true that many Republicans
were disaffected over fusion. but the vote does
not altogether reflect 1t. You have got to look
for some other reason for the small vote in the
Republican districts"
DO you. in the light Of the outcome, now be-
neve that you were justified in bringing about
fusion" Mr.. Parsons was asked.
'T certainly do" the reply. Il may have
regret for the result. but think fusion was the
wisest course. The effect of fusion was that the
Republicans did better than they would other
wise have done"
Mr.. Parsons expressed great surprise that the
"brownstone' districts had not given better
vote for Judge Whitman.
At / o'clock this morning Mr.. Parsons said:
THE people and the repeaters have decided"
At time were there more than twenty men
Ia headquarters. and there were few left when
Mr.. Parsons shut up his desk after mid
night.
