The RepubIican-Fusionists Elect Chas.
S. Whitman az District Attorney
Of New York County.
Hearst Is Tailender.

New York November 2.-Tammany
elected another mayor of Greater New
York today but lost its grip on city
finances. William j. Gaynor of Brook
lyn swept the five boroughs to victory as
mayor by at least 10000 plurality, defeat
ing Otto T. Barnard, republican-fusion.
and William r. Hearst, independent.
He failed, however, to carry his ticket
with him, and the republican forces will
control absolutely the board of estimate
and apportionment. which will disburse
approximately s1,o0o, 100000 during the adj
ministration.s
Tammany for the control of the board of
estimate was one Of the principal issues of
the campaign.
In addition the republican-fusionists
elected Charles s. Whitman district at
torney of New York county, who defeated
George Gordon Battle. the democratic
nominee. by at least 1900 plurality, and
John S. Shea for sheriff over Christopher
d. Sullivan, democrat, by approximately
10,O00.

indicate that Francis J. Heney, democrat

In Maryland the paramount issue was
the so-caled disfranchising amendment
designed to eliminate the negro as a po-
litical factor. The returns in this state
came in slowly and the result is still un-
certain. The indications are, however,
that the amendment has been defeated.
In Indiana the republicans scored sew
eral important victories, particularly in
Indianapolis, where Samuel Lewis Shank,
republican. was elected mayor and the
entire republican ticket returned.
The republicans carried Massachusetts
by the narrowest margin In the history
of the Bay state for nearly a quarter of
. century The entire party ticket was
reelected but Governor Draper's plural
ity was cut down froh 5000 last year
to 5000.
1t is apparent that Gov. Aran J. Poth-
