William Sulzer deposed by Tam
many's exposure of his unlisted cam
paign contributions was reelected to
public office, less than three weeks
having interviewed since he was re-
moved from the governors chair.
He will return to Albany in January
as a member Of the assembly. Many
of the legislators who voted to i'm
peach him met defeat with the re-
result that he will sit in an anti
Tammany house.
Returns were still lacking from a
few districts early today but Mitchell
plurality Of 10000 to 115,000 was
certain. The borough Of Brooklyn
showed a vote of $4,000 toward the
plurality or more than half of the
advantage which spelled the Tam
many rout while Manhattan gave
Mitchell a plurality of about 10000.
With much reduced pluralities but
a safe margin the Fusionists elected
VIM. A. Pendergast comptroller of the
currency and George McAneny presi-
dent of the board of aldermen. They
kept out of Tammany's hands the
presidency of three principal bor-
oughs, Manhattan, Brooklyn and the
Bronx, and. thus increased the anti
Tammany majority on the board of
estimate which controls the city's ex-
penditures. The Fusion vote on the
board will be IA to Tammany's 2. A
Fusion majority in the board of alder
men was elected.
Two Democrat congressman were
elected in the city from the 18th and
Goth districts. From the former,
the late Timothy D. Sullivan. Jacob
H. Cantor was elected in the goth to
succeed Francis Burton Harrison.
Picking Out the Plums.
Albany, Nov. Sit being generally
conceded around the capitol that the
Republicans would have a safe ma
jority in the state assembly specula-
tion turned to the probable nominee
for speaker. Harold J. Hinman OF
Albany. minority leader in the present
assembly was generally regarded as
the choice Of State Chairman VIM
Barnes for the speakership. Hinmar
was reelected yesterday by the larg
est plurality he has ever received. Il
there were no internal dissension ir
the Republican party Hinman prob
ably would win easily. But not all O
the Republicans are pleased with tn.
rule of Mr.. Barnes.
With their eyes on the day wher
they shall measure strength with tn,
state chairman in an effort to Gus
him from the state committee the in
surgents are desirous of preventing
him from installing his speaker in tn,
next assembly. There seems littl.
doubt that the insurgent faction will
decline to caucus with the regular
Republicans and will nominate a can
didate of it's own.
Friends of William Sulzer professe,
to see a possibility of his being tn
presiding officer of the assembly. 1
was not generally believed however
he would be figure of much conse
quence in the race. His only hope, i
was generally conceded, lay in a di
vision of the assembly into three, al
most equal parts. If by any chanc
Sulzer should loom up as a dangerou
factor in the race, the Tammany Dem
ocrats quickly would join forces witt
the Republicans and select almost an
candidate to defeat the former gov
ernOr.
