New York. Nov. 3.-Battlc Scared
Tammany. which yesterday elected u
mayor but lost IA city. took up today
the gloomy work of setting its house
in order for four years of avowed
anti-Tammany government In Great
er New York. An analysis shows that
the election. which resulted in the
defeat by the fusion forces of every
important Tammany- democratic can
didate below the mayor. was more
of a victory for the anti-Tammany
democrats. who had lined up with
the republicans under the fusion ban
ner. than for the straight out repub-
licans.
Anti-Tammany democrats. elected
on the republican-fusion ticket. for
four years will be in absolute control
of the city's purse strings. They will
have a clear majority in the board of
estimates and apportionments and.
therefore. the right of spending more
than $1,000, 100000 of the city's money
The board of estimates includes. be-
sides Mayor Gaynor-who in the past
five anti-Tammany democrats and
two republicans. The is votes allot-
ted the various members of tho board
are so distributed that besides Jus
tice Gaynor's three ballots. anti-Tam-
many democrats will have nine and
the republicans four.
In this board. according to anti
Tanmany democrats. is to be found a
nucleus of what they believe will make
for complete reorganization OF the
democratic party. 1t was rumored to-
day that the attempt to create a new
order of things for New York city
democracy already was under way.
Charles F. Murphy. who succeeded
Richard Croker as Tammany leader.
came out with Il formal disavowal of
ing report that he was to be de-
posed.
Il have no intention of resignng..'
said Murphy. II have not heard of
any opposition to me within the party
and have heard nothing about these
reported rumblings of discomfort"
Richard Croker's presence was
matter of speculation to those who
were studying the situation and the
announcement that he had extended
his visit five days longer was regards
I'd as significant. Mr.. croker's yIs-
itors today included former Mayor
Hugh Grant. Lewis Nixon, William f.
Sheehan and Mayor Mcclellan. The
retired leader said these calls were
without political significance
af
ALL" he declared. Not for a million
dollars would reconsider my de-
termination to keep in the background.
Yes. they asked me to come back
they always do that. But I'm too old
and couldn't stand the racket"
Complete returns on balloting in
aldermanic districts show that Tam
many lost ground also in that body.
and that the democratic majority will
be cut down from 81 to a majority By
single vote. In addition, several
nominaily democratic votes from
Brooklyn districts are the product of
fusion between democratic and
Hearst-independent forces and are
hardly to be depended upon To sup
port their democratic colleagues In all
instances.
William NJ. WINS. who launched the
Hearst boom late In the campaign. Of
fered his congratulations to the fusion
candidates today.
1t Is the greatest victory for re-
form New York has ever seen.s said
WINS. IT means Tammany must be
reorganized and there must also be n
house cleaning of the republican or
ganization in Manhattan and Brook
lyn."
Otto T. Barnard. defeated repub-
iican candidate for mayor. doomed to-
day as possibility for the New York
stat" gubernatoral nomination next
year Herbert Parsons republican
chairman. said:
Mr.. Rannard's clean and business
like campaign against tremendous
odds has had it's effect and / think
We shall hear from him again. He
has proved himself an excellent stand
ard bearer and the party has need of
many such men,
