NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Through
the defeat of all it's candidates who
would by virtue of their offices have
become members of the board of
estimates and apportionments, Tam
many Hall, though saving the may
orally of greater New York to VIM.
j. Gaynor, loses control of the ex-
penditure of more tnan one billion
dollars, or of one of the largest gov
ernmental funds in the world.
Not a soul connected with Tam
many Hall believed that the Demo-
cratic nominee for district attorney
would be defeated. The office is con-
sidered by many as of vastly more
Importance than the mayoralty.
When it became certain last night
that this plum, along with all others,
had fallen to the enemy, the lights
of Tammany Hall went out.
The borough presidencies all
went to the fusion or anti-Tammany
candidates. The Board of Aldermen
will be composed of AZ Democrats
and 36 Fusionists.
On the county ticket the Fusion
lists elected their candidates for dis
trict attorney, sheriff, county clerk,
register and city court Judge, which
with their other victories will place
nearly every Dit of patronage of the
greater city in their hands. The Re-
publicans will have majority of 43
in the state assembly.
The vote of the Boroughs of Man
haitian, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and
Richmond total as follows: Gaynor,
134,478, 91,556;, 1880, 7,O74,
25O,67S; Barnard, S6,SSS, 1882,
11,901, 5,O31, 177,662; Hearst,
s6,975, 49,O94, 1876, 2,58S, 153,-
S34. Gaynor's plurality is 1906.
McClellan's plurality in 1905 was q
e65.
Complete returns on the vote for
mayor show the following results:
Gaynor, 250,678; Barnard, III,
S62; Hearst, 153,s43; Gaynor's plur-
;ality, 73,016.
The forces of Fusion will be in
practical control of New York City's
government after January l next.
With the exception of mayor, the
Fusion sweep was complete. Not an
other Democratic candidate on the
city or county tickets won. The
Fusion forces by electing their can
.didates for comptroller and presi-
dent of the board of aldermen, to-
gether with the victory of the fusion
of anti-Tammany candidates for the
presidencies of all of the five bor-
oughs, will give the opposition to
Tammany 13 out of Is votes in the
important board of estimates.
Boss Murphy of Iammany declar-
ed today that he had no intention OF
resigning his leadership in the or
ganization. 1t was rumored all
morning that Murphy had been
forced outside on account of the
Tammany defeat.
BALTIMORE, Nov. "a clean
majority of from twelve thousand to
fifteen Thousand against the propos-
ed amendment to the state constf-
tuition for disfranchisement of ne
gro voters is indicated by incomplete
returns. The Democrats claim the
legislature, insuring the reelection
of United States Senator Raynor.
CLEVELAND, Nov. 3.-The Off
cial knell of Tom Johnson, four
times mayor of Cleveland, was rung
early today. After working all night,
the board of election commissioners
announced that in his fifth mayor
atty campaign, johnson had been de-

With one precinct missing the re-
turns gave johnson 37,502; Baehr,
41,285. with Johnson went to de-
