FUSION CANDIDATES WIN

New York, Nov 5.--"Boss' Muir
ply Of Tammany has been recalled"
The voters did It, Even the boss
closest friends admitted today that
that was what yesterdays landslide
at the polls meant.
1t was sad day for Tammany.
| Deprived practically of the last bit
of his patronage, the tiger faces the
leanest four years in his life.
Nobody could possibly be sorer
than the "organization's managers
were today. They blamed Murphy.
The boss" gave 1t out again today
that he would not abdicate. II was
clear, however, that this would not
be necessary. He was as good as de-
posed already. His lieutenants made
1t amply clear that they would never
forgive what they called his fat
headedness"
New York democrats were looking
generally to Washington today for
some hint as to the choice of a new
leader. 1t was expected that Presi-
dent Wilson would give one in the
form of selection Of successor to
John Purroy Mitchell as collector OF
the port
He would appoint man, It was as
sumed, who could command the sup
port of all the democratic factions
and, through tremendous patronage
Of his office, reorganize the party To-
cally on more progressive basis.
The new collector cannot afford to
become the titular head of Tammany,
but he can work with Murphy's sue
cessor If the latter is the right sort
OF an individual
Dudley Field Malone, Senator
O'Gormans son-in-law, was consider
ed the likeliest candidate for the coll
lectorship.
Tammany's defeat was absolutely
crushing. The fusion forces carried
every borough. They swept the
strongholds Of such Tammany chief
tains as Murphy, Sullivan and Nc
Manus, who never before knew any
thing but victory in their own par
ticular DISTRICTS. Even julius Har-
burger, who has spent his life on
Tammany's payroll, was defeated for
coroner
John Purroy Mitchell, the fusion
nominee for mayor, was elected over
Judge Edward r. Mccall, Tammany's
choice, by majority of 1883. The
rest OF the fusionists' city ticket won
by somewhat smaller, but still very
heavy majorities, with the sole ex-
ception OF the nominees for president
OF the Queensborough council, to
which M. r. Connolly, Tammanyite,
was elected.
Upstate returns showed that the
republicans elected 81, the democrats
55, and the progressives IA men,
bers Of the next lower house.
Republicans were chosen to all the
two vacancies among the judges Of
the court OF appeals.
The fusionists swept New York
county, as they did the city, electlng
their entire ticket, including District
Attorney Whitman to succeed him
self, and Max Grifenhagen for sheriff
Upstate New York towns which
went democratic on mayoralty and
the bulk OF the rest of their NUM-
cipal tickets, included Buffalo, Utica,
Rome and Troy.
Poughkoepsie, Rochester, Auburn,
Albany, Binghamton, Amsterdam and
Watertown went republican.
In Elmira the fuslonists won;
Johnstown elected progressiyes, and
in Schenectady J. Teller schoolcraft,
running on a citizens ticket. was
elected mayor.
New Jersey Democratic
Latest returns from New Jersey in
dicated that James Fielder, the demo-
cratic nominee supported by Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson, would have a
plurality for governor OF 1900 over
Edward c. Stokes, republican, and
Everett Colby. progressive.
Fielder's vote ran slightly behind
what Wilson received a year ago.
Colby, II was evident. would not prove
to have polled more than a total OF
10000. as compared with Roosevelt's
