NEW YORK

New York, Nov. 2.-Tammany elect

city finances. Gaynor swept the five
boroughs TO victory, as mayor, by at
least 10000 plurality, but failed to
carry his ticket with him, and the re-
publican-fusion forces will control alb
solutely the board of estimate and ap-
portionment, which will disburse ap-
proximately one billion dollars during
the administration. This is more than
a half-defeat for Tammany, for thu
control of the board of estimate was
one Of the principal issues.

KENTUCKY

Jackson, KY, Nov. 2. - Predictions
hat "only a man or two" would be
killed during the voting in Braathitt
county were justified in the Springfield
precinct. Tilden Blanton, with his LETT
hand, shot and instantly killed Demos
themes Noble, after Noble had crirp'cl
Blanton' right arm with a bullet.
Noble was previously, according to
Blahton, in the act of placing a pistol
at the breast of two of Blanton's
brothers. Noble was a member o. a
powerful feudal family, a former en-
p'oye of Judge James Hargis, and CON-
plications are expected.
Blanton, whose father was demo.
cratic candidate for county attorney,
was acting as challenger. He said
Noble was induced to raise a disturb
ance by the discounted republicans.
The shots were fired while Blanton
was leaning from a window of the
voting place. Blanton's father, last
year, on horseback, took the ballots
to Crockettsville precinct when nobody
else dared to make the trip.
From Charlottesville, where thirty
soldiers were on guard, came the
word:
"Quietest here in history"
Two opinions obtain among the o
pie. One hat the presence of soldiers
prevented bloodshed and distinctions:
another that votes were made for the
democrats because Judge Adams called
for troOns unnecessarily.
Telephone communication with
Crockettsville tonight brought the
news that the election was the quiet
est in history, and had gone rs re-
publican.
Until late tonight the firing of
pistols was SO insistent and dangerous
the troops were called to the court
house, but the mob gradually dis
persed.

Negro domination has been more or

ed to have been an unusually fair
