INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 4.-The

preferred against all after the strike
has been settled.
An unusually large number Of men
were on the streets due to the cleo

ported. The strikers and sympathiZ-
ers ga hered at a large meeting on the
court house grounds and cheered
several ministers who conselled them
to avoid violence. Resolutions de-
rouncing violence were passed by the
strikers.
The refusal of the police to act
came when a car was manned by
strikers for a trial trip. The first
three squads of ten policemen refused
70 get on the cars and the reserve
squads protested so vigorously it was
decided to give up the trip.
The policemen said they would
march with the car, would fight in

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Fasion car
John Purroy Mitchell mayor by APP
proximately 5000 plurality and re-
gaining control of the important
board of estimate.
Tammany Hall saw its nominee for
the mayoralty, Edward T.. Mccall, go
down to defeat by one of the biggest
pluralities ever given against cam
didate of the organization, and about
midnight it looked as If Tammany
might not even save the Now York
county offices out of the wreckage.
The big vote for Mitchell pulled
through the fusion candidates for
president of the board of aldermen
and comptroller George McAHney and
william A. Prendergast, against whom
independence league as well as demo-
cratic organization candidates were
running.
Mitchell Elected Easily.
The eelction of Mitchell was early
apparent, but not until nearly two
thirds Of the returns were in was the
success Of McAnney and PrenderGast
assured.
The fusionists elected borough pres
idents in Brooklyn, the Bronx and
Richmond, and apparently have pulled
through their candidate for president
of the borough Of Manhattan. Marcus
NJ. Marx, by a small plurality over
DR.. Thomas Darlington Tammany.
The result thus indicated would leave
Tammany but one vote ou- of the
sixteen in the board Of estimate, which
controls the city's purse. A fusion
majority in the board of aldermen also
seems assured.
In the sixth assembly district Will
liam Sul2er, recently deposed as gov
ernor. was elected on the progressive
ticket
Tammany leaders early conceded
the election OF Mitchell, but 1t was not
until nearly II o'clock that tht v would
concede the board OF estimate to
fusion.
1T looks as if we had losE every
thing" Secretary Thomas saith Of
Tammany Hall finally admitted.
At the same time Samuel $. Koe-
mig. chairman of the republican coun-
ty committee, claimed the election OF
the entire fusion ticket in the greater
city and of the New York cou"ty ticket
as well.
Charles F. Murphy. leader of Tam.
many Hall followed shortly with
brief statement:
"The result speaks for ,tself," he
said. Mr.. Mitchell has been elected
by majority of the voters. His
opponents join in the wish that he
may have a successful administration
and hope that it will be OF subJtan-
tial benefit 10 the city"
