NEW YORK. Nov 4.--The Demo.
Gratis swept their candidates into OF.
nee In three elections for State Offices
held today. winning by substantial
piuralities In Massachusetts, New Jer.
sey and Maryland. adding one to the
Democratic majority in the senate.
At least that is the indication at
O'Clock this morning.
OF course, sufficient returns are not
In at this time to indicate clearly
definite results on certain candidates
in many OF the States,
1t is known that John Purroy
Mitchell, the fighting young Demo-
Graf, who was the fusion nominee for
mayor Of New York. has been elect
ed by a plurality of not far from
10000 This Is Indicated by the
fact that. at the hour OF writing this
dispatch, 1.450 districts out OF l.776
in greater New York, gave Mitchell
276,220. and Mccall 1a1.e46. II this
ratio is maintained, Mitchell will win
by 10000.
Whatever may be the final figures
on mayor. Edward e. Mccall has
been badly beaten.
Entire Ticket Elected.
The rest Of the fusion city ticket
has probably been elected. At mid
night 1920 election districts out OF
1.77s in the greater city, gave Me-
Aneny fFusion). for president OF tho
board Of aldermen, 196.S16, and Goul-
den fTammany). 16e,4s1. AT this
ratio McAneny will have a plurality
Of $4,000.
II the entire fusion city ticket Il
elected, the Republicans and Progress
sives will control the board Of esti-
mate and apportionment, which
makes up the city budget. and Tam
many Hall will not have look In at
the spending of the money from the
city treasury. This will also mean
that Tammany will be frightfully shy
on patronage.
William Sulzer. found guilty OF
high crimes and misdemeanors only
a few months after he was elected
governor OF New York. has probably
been elected to the New York AZ.
sembly from the Sixth assembly dis.
trict by 1900 or 2.000.
The vote on chief Judge and asso.
ciate justice of the Court of Appeals,
the highest court in New York State.
Is still being counted. but the up-
State pluralities for the Republican
not so large at this writing that they
cannot be overcome by the Demo-
cratic majority south Of the Branx.
The lower branch of the New York
legislature is safely Republican at
this hour. Two Progressives have
been elected so far. Aaron ]. Levy.
the Democratic leader. and chairman
of the assembly managers who ina-
peached Sulzer. has been elected q
municipal Judge.
Returns show that not only the
fusion city ticket has been elected in
& -
ticket also, with the possible excep-
ton that Maurice Connolly has been
elected Democratic borough president
of Queens, and Charles j. Mccormick.
Democratic candidate for borough
president OF Richmond.
The returns from New Jersey are
slow and late. but the indications ara
that. at this writing, Fielder will have
a plurality of about 80. 600, and the
legislature will be Democratic. This
will properly he construed as a great
victory for President Wilson and
President Wilson'S policies. Fielder
carried Hudson county by 10000. with
Stokes, the Republican candidate, rum
ming second, and Colby the Progress
sive, far behind The indications are
that Fielder carried Monmouth coun-
/ ty by 2,000, Hunterdon by 1900.
! Union by 500. Cumberland by 200.
Fielder. Stokes also carried Atlantic
| county. Cumberland county went
| Democratic for the first time in many
years.
| In Massachusetts,. the IL o'clock re-
turns show sweeping victory for tho
! Democratic ticket. even some OF tha
Republican newspaper conceding tina
! possibility of the election of the en-
| tire Democratic State ticket Walsh
the Democratic candidate for covers
nor. has a plurality of about $4,000:
Bird, the Progressive candidate. ran
second, and Gardner. the Republican.
! third. Governor Foss, running inde-
| pendentiy, and who said he would be
swept into Office again by an
avalanche of votes misfigured. He
| got caught under the avalanche and
/ his friends will have a long job In
digging him out.
Blair Lee Wins.
| In Maryland. Blair Lee, In whose
contest for the United States senate
the administration in Washington took
keen interest. has been elected BY
something like 10000. AT 11.l5 the
/ returns show that he Is gaining on
| Wilson'S vote of last year. Parran, thu
Republican, is polling his full party
