TAMMANY FORCES
ARE BADLY BEATEN
mitchell WINS MAYORALTY IN
NEW YORK CITY BY $4,000
PLURALITY. aa s.
DEMOCRATS SCORE IN MASS.
Walsh Elected Observation-Disclosures
Score Big Gain in New York
State on Anti-T ammany
Ticket.

New York, Nov. 6.-Fusion carried
New York City, electing John Purroy
Mitchell mayor by approximately
$4,000 plurality and retaining control
of the important board of estimates
by a safe margin.
Tammany Hall saw it's nominee for
the mayoralty, Edward E. Mccall,
go down to defeat by one of the big
gest pluralities ever given against a
candidate of the organization and it
may not have saved even the New
York county offices out of the wreck
age.
Mitchell Pulls Ticket Through.
The big vote for Mitchell pulled
through the Fusion candidates for
president of the board of aldermen and
comptroller, George McAneny and
whom Independence league as we'll as
Democratic organization candidates
were running.
The election of Mitchell was early
apparent, but not until nearly two
thirds of the returns were in was the
success of McAneny and Prendergast
assured.
Scant Fayors to Tammany.
Apparently, with the exception of
assemblymen in the districts which
usually go Democratic and minor of.
ficers in some of the boroughs, the
opposition to fusion succeeded in
electing only one of it's nominees,
Maurice E. Connolly, for borough
president of Queens.
The Fusionists elected borough
presidents in Brooklyn, the Bronx,
and Richmond, and apparently have
pulled through their candidate for
president of the borough of Manhat-
tan, Marcus M. Marks, by small plu-
rality over Dr. Thomas Darlington,
Tammany.
The result thus indicated would
leave Tammany but one vote out of
sixteen in the board Of estimate, which
controls the city's purse.
A Fusion majority in the board of
aldermen also seems assured.
Walsh Elected Governor.
Boston, Mass.-David /. Walsh, q
Democrat and distinguished member
of the bar, was elected governor by
a plurality estimated at $4,000. The
Democratic leaders claim a complete
victory for state Offices and the re-
turns tabulated seem to support this
claim
The legislature continues Republi-
can in both branches, with slightly in
creased majorities.
In the Third congressional district,
Calvin d. Paige, Republican, was chos-
en- to succeed the late William H.
Wilder, Republican, in very close
race.
Republicans Get N. Y. State.
New housekeeping gains we're
made by Republicans all through this
state, following a campaign in which
the issue of "Tammany rule" was
raised with almost as much vigor
outside New York City as in the cam
paign here.
Indications, based on incomplete re-
turns were that the Democratic party
had lost control of the lower branch
of the legislature.
The Tabulated Returns.
Returns from SO of the $50 assem-
bly, districts in the state show the
election of Sc Republicans, % Demo-
Gratis and 8 Progressives, with one in
doubt. Nine of the successful Demo-
cratic candidates and eight of the Re-
publicans were endorsed by the Pro-
gressives.
Municipal election were held in "a
cities. Returns from IS of the larger
cities showed the election of eight Re-
publican mayors, four Democrats.
three fusion, two Progressive and
one citizens party.
Some of Those Elected.
Nine judges of the supreme court
and two judges of the court of ap-
peals were elected. In Erie county
Herbert P. Bissell, Democrat, and Har-
ry l.. Taylor, Republican, were cleo
ted to the supreme court. Incom-
plete returns from other counties
showed that the Republican candidates
were running in the lead.
Two Democratic members of con-
gress were elected, both replacing
Democrats.
Schenectady's Socialist mayor. Geo.
r. Lunn, went down to defeat.
The Progressives gained their most
striking victory in Syracuse. Louis
Will, their candidate, defeated James
E. Dolan, Democrat, and Eugene ].
