NEW YORK.

New York. Nov. Both Greater New
York and the upstate counties united
to take the control of the legislature out
Of the hands of Charles F. Murphy and
give IT into the keeping of the Republi-
cans and Independent Democrats. There
will be at least a hundred votes against
Murphy in the next assembly, a working
majority of forty-five. In the last assem-
bly, there were eighty-five Democratic
votes.
In New York, the Tammany county
ticket was elected by the narrowest ma
jority-whh one exception-in the history
of the present leadership.
The returns at midnight showed that
the Tammany county ticket, including the
three candidates for the Supreme Court,
will not have a majority of more than
S,0Oo. The Republicans have captured the
board of aldermen.
In Brooklyn, the Republican county
ticket was elected from top to bottom,
and the three Republican candidates for
the Supreme Court in the Second district
were also victorious. James c. Cropsey
the Republican candidate for district at
torney. beat John F. Clarke, the incum-
bent OF that Office and the Democratic
nominee, by substantial majority.
The returns indicated that the anti
Murphy men had gained ten men in the
assembly from New York County and ten
from Kings County, making the total
Republican representation in the assembly
from New York County fifteen and the
total from Kings County fifteen or six
teen. The Republicans also carried two OF
the four assembly districts in Queens, and
the final returns may show three.
Victory for Socialists.
Schenectady, n. Y, Nov. For the
first time in the history of Schenectady
County the Socialists have played an i'm
portant part in an election. Dr. George
r. Lunn, Socialist candidate for mayor,
was elected by a sweeping plurality of
2,O94 votes, or two-thirds of the votes poll
ed. The common council, now Demo-
cratic, will be Socialist by a majority of
at least two aldermen, and the board of
supervisors, now Republican, is likely to
be Socialist. The only two city offices
that were not carried by the Socialists
were city judge and superintendent of
the poor, which went Democratic by small
pluralities.
This city is composed mainly of work |
inS"nen. employed in the local plants of
the General Electric and American Loco |
motive companies. The Sociallstfc plat |
form appealed to them, and the results of |
to-day's vote shows the confidence the |
people have in their pledged reforms.
DR.. Lunn was ousted from the pastorate
Of the aristocratic First Reformed Church |
some time ago because of his interest IN |
socialism. He Immediately started a new |
which united with the Con- |
gregationalists a short time ago, and is |
now one Of the largest in the city.
