Republicans and Fusionsts VIII Con trol Board of Estimates, Which Will Spend sf,00o.oo0, ,ooo In Next Four Years.

New York, Nov. 4--William ]. Gay nor has been elected mayor of New York by a plurality approximately 75.- Q00 The indications at midnight were that he will be alone in his polit. teal glory in the board of estimate and apportionment, which spends the city's money.
 Hearst ran poor third Estimates from 900 election districts put him 32.. 900 behind Barnard. who in turn was ss.365 behind Gaynor.
 In the next four years New York city will spend approximately s1.000,' 900 ,000. That money will be spent uil- der the direction and by the votes oi a board made up of the Tammany mayor, Republican and fusion presi- dent of the board o{ aldermen, d Re. publican and fusion comptroller, pos sibly a Republican and fusion presi- dent of the borough of Manhattan. possibly the Republican and fusion presidents of the boroughs of Brooklyn the Bronx and Queens and possibly a Republican and fusion president of the borough of Richmond.
 There are 16 votes in the board of estimates and apportionment. Of these the mayor has three; the president oi the board of aldermen three. the comp. troller three, and the presidents of the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn two each. The presidents of the hor- oughs of the Bronx, Queen and Rich mond have one each. It will be seen, therefore. that the vast sum of money to be spent by the city in the next four years will not be under the control of Tammany Hall
 William J. Gaynor, who now be. comes mayor of Greater New York, was elected on the strength of his per sonal record as jurist and his stand for personal liberty and a liberal Sun. day. Although the Tammany candi- date, he said throughout the campaign that no boss shall dictate to him. One of his favorite remarks was that fl there was to be any swallowing be- tween him and the tiger. he would ultimately be found on the outside.
 The forces of fusion will be in prac. teal control of New York City's gov. ernment after January I. With the exception of mayor. the fusion sweep was complete. Not another Demo cratic candidate on city or county tickets won success.
 On the county ticket the Fusionists elected thelr candidates for district at. torney. sheriff, county clerk. register and city court judge which, with their other victories, will place nearly every bit of patronage In the greater city in their hands.
 Complete returns on the vote for mayor show the following:
 Gaynor. 25o.e7S; Barnard. 177.662; Hearst, l53.S43.
 Gaynor's plurality, 73,o16.
