(special from Tinted Press,

 New York, Nov. 8-Tommany Hall, not fully recovered from the fright it got, last night, when it's county ticket scraped through by the narrowest ma- jority-With one eXception-in the re- cent history of the organization, when its judicial ticket in Brooklyn was showed under and when the state as- sembly went strongly Republican, got another fright, today; when Samuel s. Koenig, chairman of the Republican County Committee, threa tened to de- mand an official recount.
 Sensational events are expected to follow yesterdays elections throughout New York state. Perhaps the one that will attract most attention, nationally will be the effort of William Barnes, IT,, Boss of Albany and chairman of the Republican State Committee, to Iexow New York city, again. When a Democratic Senate committee sunk the probe deep into Barnes conduct of affairs in Albany, the leader of the old guard retaliated that it was playing politics. and threatened to "out Lexow Lexow' in investigatine municipal and county affairs in New York, if the Republicans carried the approaching Legislature.
 Barnes blamed "Boss'' Murphy, of Tammany Hall, for the Albany inves- tigation and it is toward Murphy and Tammany that it is believed he will direct his chief efforts.
 The Republicans will be in complete control of the legislature and Barnes will be in a position to carry out his threat. On a joint ballot, the Repub- licans will have 119 votes and the Democrats S2. Last year, the Demo- crats had 117 and the Republicans S4. have 21 votes to 30 as last year but in the lower assembly they will have 98 to 52, whereas, the Democrats, last year, had S7 to 63.
 It is believed that the Brooklyn ju- dicial scandal will be the target at which the threatened investigation will be levelled. A short time before election, the charge publicly was made that William Willett, IT,, a Tammany candidate for the supreme court bench had paid out a large sum, said to have been $32,000, to Tammany Hall, for his nomination, and a legal investiga- tion was instituted into the charge
 No definite action has followed but Willett and Ketcham and Callahan, his running mates. were defeated in Kings County by Kelby, Benedict and Van Sieclen, the Republican-Fusion nominees, by majorities ranging from 5000 to 11,000
 An effort to pass through the Re- publican Legislature a bill providing for an investigation of the charges in connection with the nominations in Brooklyn probably would be success full and it is said Republican leaders intend to incorporate in it measures which will open the whole situation in New York city to the probers. The committee probably will be a House Committee alone, for it is doubtful if the Democratic Senate will join in the fishing expedition
 The surprise of the election in New York City was the fact that Dan Co., halan, one of the chief Tammany lieutenants and the man for whom Tammany is said to have made it's greatest play, received a majority of only 3,259, running behind the other Democratic candidates for justice of the supreme. court from New York county.
 The Socialist vote throughout New York State was surprisingly large, in tha minds of the old party leaders,
