Not Vote-Congressman Cochran Is
 Arrestins For Registering Illegally. New York, Nov. 6.-As had been gen erally expected by political observers, the election in this city resulted in a sweeping victory for the Tammany ticket in Manhattan. Foley is elected sheriff over Ihmsen by 26,723.
 The McCarren hosts went down to defeat in Brooklyn. Early this morn ing the Republicans claimed and the Democrats conceded the election of all the Republican candidates on the coun- ty ticket, with the single exception of Clarke. Democratic candidate for dis trict attorney.
 The maiorities by which the Repub- lcans were elected varied greatly. Clarke ran far ahead of his ticket. and estimates of his plurality varied from 12.OOO to 1S,O0O. With only sixty-five election districts missing, his plurality approXimated the latter figure.
 Gerard Beats Bruce.
 The repudiation of the Hearst-Par- sons compact by Republicans was clearly demonstrated in the supposed Republican strongholds, where the ma jorities were well below normal The utter weakness of the Independence league as a factor in state politics as well as in this city was demonstrated in the vote for court of appeals judges, the league polling less than one vote in six.
 Matthew Linn Bruce, the Republican candidate for supreme court justice, was beaten by James w. Gerard, the Tammany candidate, the latters indi- cated plurality at an early hour this morning being 27,565.
 Although he ran well ahead of his ticket, Judge Whitman went down to defeat with the rest of the fusion can didates
 Malone led in the list of general ses- sion judgeship candidates. Mulqueen was next and very close up, and Swann was third. Whitman led Pal liser and Vidavor by approximately 5000 votes, but at that he ran a good 16,000 behind Swann.
 Tammany Gets the Judgeships.
 Besides winning all the general ses- sions judgeships in the contest Tam many easily captured all the city court judgeships.
 The vote for municipal court judges in Manhattan and the Bronx showed that Tammany had obtained most of the fourteen places.
 Returns from the aldermanic con. tests were few at midnight. but those received indicated general Tammany gain.
 Fusion carried nine assembly dis tricts in this county, so that the repre- sentatiOn from this city in the assem- hly will be the same as heretofore. There was, however. shift of two districts. The Parsons Hearst forces carried the Tenth and Eleventh dis tricts. heretofore Democratic. but lost the Nineteenth and Twenty-ninth The latter was previously a very strong district.
 William Randolph Hearst did not vote at the election Mir Hearst'S sec retary said that Mir Hearst was sick and could not see any one He had had callers all day. the secretary said, | and had been unable to get away in ! time to vote.
 Bourke Cochran Arrested.
 Of the many arrests made that were 1 accounted for by errors on the part of | the election officers in charge of the | different polling places perhaps the | most amusing was that of Congress ] man BOurke Cochran. When the con 1 gressman entered the little barber shop | lt 1S9 Third avenue. the polling place | of the Ninth election district of the , Twelfth assembly district. to cast his | ballot he was approached by Police | man Walter Thornton of the East | Twenty street police station | and informed that he was unCer ar rest
 The policeman showed a warrant | sworn out before Magistrate Cornell. sitting in the YOrkville court. charg- Ing the congressman with having reg Stered illegally. Mir. Cochran did not appear to be at all surprised and turn ng to Thornton remarked. "I had ex- Dected this" Then he asked Thorn on what was the next move and was old that he would have to go to York rille court.
 Mir. Cochran asked permission to summon his lawyer. and this being al- owed he telephOned to Frank NJ. Pat erSon. The policeman and congress- nan waited in the barber shop for Patterson to arrive. while a big crowd 'olIected outside. the word having quickly passed that Cochran had been 'ausht as a repeater
 Magistrate. Harris quickly set the congressman free.
