New York, Nov. 3.-Battle-scarred
Tammany, which yesterday elected
mayor, but lost city, took up today
the gloomy work of setting its house
in order for four years of avOwed
anti-Tammany government IN
Greater New York.
An analysis shows that the election,
which resulted in the defeat by the
fusion forces of every important Tam
many Democratic candidate below the
mayor, was more of a victory TOT the
anti-Tammany Democrats, who had
lined up with the Republicans under
the fusion banner, than for the straight
out Republicans.
Anti-Tammany Democrats, elected on
the Republican-fusi ticket, for four
years, viii be in absolute control OF
the citys purse strings. They will
have clear majority in the board of
estimates and apportiOnments and
therefore the right of spending more
than a billion dollars of the city's
money.
The board of estimates includes. be-
sides Mayor GaynOr-whO in the past
has been a strong anti-machine man
five anti-Tammany Democrats and two
Republicans. The sixteen votes allotted
the various members of the board are
so distributed that besides Justice Cay
nors three ballots, anti-Tammany
Democrats viii have nine and the Re
publicans four.
In this board, according to anti-Tam-
many Democrats, is to be found nu-
cleus of what they believe will make
for a complete reorganization of the
Democratic party. 1t was rumored to-
day that the attempt 70 create new
order of things for New York city De-
mOcracy already was under way.

Richard Croker as Tammany leader,

said Murphy. Il have not heard Of
any opposition to me within the party,
and I have heard nothing about these
reported rumblings of discomfort"
Richard Cookers presence was a mat
ter of speculation TO those who were
studying the situation and the an
nouncement that he had extended his
visit five days longer was regarded as
significant. Mr.. Cookers visitors to-
day included former Mayor Hugh Grant,
Lewis Nixon, William +. Sheshan and
Mayor Mcclellan. The retired leader
said these calls were without political
II am out of politics for good and
all" he declared. Not for a million
dollars would l reconsider my deter

Yes, they asked me to come back
they always do that. But I'm too old

Complete returns on balloting in al
dermanic districts show that Tammany
lost ground also in that body, and that
the Democratic majority will be cut
down from 81 to a majority by a sin
gle vote. In addition, several nOmi-
nally Democratic votes from Brooklyn
districts are the product of a fusion
between Democratic and Hearst-Inde-
pendent forces and are hardly TO be
depended upon to support their Demo-
cratic colleagues in all instances.
William NJ. WINS, who launched the
Hearst boom too late in the campaign,
offered his congratulations to the fu-
sion candidates today.
1T is the greatest victory for re-
form New York has ever seem" said
WINS. 1T means Tammany must be
TeOrganized and there must also be a
housecleaning of the Republican or
ganization in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
as attested by the defeat of Barnard
of the Woodruff machine and its Re-
publican candidates in Brooklyn"
Otto T. Barnard, defeated Republican
candidate for mayor, doomed today as
possibility for the New York state
gubeTnatOrial nomination next year.
Herbert Parsons, Republican county
chairman, said:
Mr.. Bannards clean and business
like campaign against tremendous odds
has had its effect, and l think we shall
hear from him again. He has proved
himself an excellent standard bearer,
and the party has need of many such
men."
