House of Legislature.

New York, Nov. 6. = John Purroy
Mitchell, the fighting young Democrat,
who was the fusion nominee for mayor
of New York, has been elected by a
plurality of 121. 200. Edward Mccall has
been badly beaten.
The rest of the fusion city ticket
has been elected by about 4 5000 plu-
rality.
The Republicans and Progressives
will control the board of estimate and
apportionment, which makes up the
city budget, and Tammany Hall will
not have a look in at the spending of
the money from the city treasury. This
will also mean that Tammany will be
frightfully shy on city patronage.
William Sulzer. found guilty Of high
crimes and misdemeanors only a few
months after he was elected governor
of New York, has been elected to the
New York assembly from the Sixth as
sembly district.
Returns show that not only the flu
sion city ticket has Deer elected in
New York, but the entire county ticket
also, with the possible exception that
Maurice Connolly has been elected
Democratic borough president OF
Queens, and Charles ]. Mccormick,
Democratic candidate for borough
president of Richmond.

York, when 1t meets on Jan. 7, will

Progressives II. In addition many of
the Democratic assemblymen elected
were Endorsed by the Progressives.
and of the Republican a~ssemblymen
elected several were Endorsed by the
Progressives.
In all eighteen Democratic and Re.
publican assemblymen elected were
Endorsed by the Progressives, so that
the ~Progressives really have q claim
upon 81 of the assemblymen elected.
As~semblyman Harold J. Hinman, of
Albany, will be the candidate of Chair
man William Barnes, of the Republic
can state committee, for speaker of the
assembly.
It is not anticipated that ex-Gover-
moi William Sulzer, who has been
elected to the assembly as a Progress
sive, will be taken seriously in the as
sembly, either by the Progressives or
the Democrats.
