New York.-The primary election,
the first in which the people of New
York ever nominated their candidates
directly, resulted in the nomination
for Governor of Martin H. Glynn by
the Democrats, Charles s. Whitman
by the Republicans, and Frederick
M. Davenport by the Progressives.
James w. Gerard was nominated
for United States Senator by the
Democrats, James w. Wadsworth, Jr.,
by the Republicans, and cambridge
Colby by the Progressives.
Whitman carried New York City
by a plurality of 32,400. His next
competitor in the city was Hedges,
but he beat Hedges by four to one.
Human by eight to one. Humans
vote in the city was much smaller
than had been anticipated.
But Whitman had been expected to
carry New York, though the crushing
nature of Humans defeat there was
a surprise. The Hinman men had
been counting On the upstate. vote
to overcome Whitman's majority in
the city, but the upstate, too, went
for Whitman.
New York City contributed a MAORI
ty of 74,760 to Gov. Glynn, and the
rest of the State backed him up by a
majority of $4,000, making his total
majority 111,760. Hennessy was
showed under in the city and badly
defeated in the State.
William Sulzer did not succeed in
cap turing the Progressive Party. In
the city, indeed, he gave Davenport
close run, and was defeated by
only 1856 votes, but the country dis
tricts came to the rescue and gave
the candidate of the Utica conference
a majority.
The big Whitman victory in the
city was apparently not Barnes vic
tory for his candidate for the United
States Senate, Wadsworth, was snow
ed under by Congressman Calder,
the anti-Barnes candidate. Calder's
plurality was greater than Whitman's.
But Wadsworth got his votes up the
State and won.
Ambassador Gerard was nominated
for the Senate by the Democrats,
beating Franklin D. Roosevelt. Roose-
welt did better than Hennessy.
Even more surprising was the fact
that in the city Wadsworth was not
merely defeated, but actually ran not
very much better than DR.. David j.
Hill, whose candidacy was chiefly a
compliment rendered him by his home
county of Monroe, and who does not
figure seriously in the returns.
All the returns received indicated
complete victory for Charles
F. Murphy in the matter of
controlling the organization of the
Democratic Party in the State. In
every district where a Murphy can
d1date for State Committeeman was
opposed the Muphry man won. The
only anti-Murphy man elected was
Montgomery Hare, who was unoppos-
ed.
Roosevelt also did better than Hen
messy up the State. In the city and
upstate together he ran about 10000
ahead Of Hennessy.
The vote cast was light. Only a
minority in each party exercised the
right to participate in the first direct
primary election ever held in this
State. In this city a larger percent
age Of Republicans took advantage
Of their new privilege than did Demo
Gratis. OF the enrolled Democrats only
about "a per cent. voted, while 40
per cent. of the Republicans went to
the polls.
AS for the Progressives, 81 per cent.
of them voted in New York City,
Their vote did not rise much above
10000 though their enrolment
amounted to 45,645.
Election officials everywhere re-
ported that it was impossible to count
the ballots with the CELEBRITY observ-
able in the regular State elections.
Ihere were as many as seventy-fve
names on some of the ballots in dis
trlcts where numerous members of the
county committee were to be elected
On account of the size Of the party
vote in those districts in the last gen.
eral State election.
Now that the Den. ocratic primaries
are over and Martain H. Glynn has
been chosen as the Democratic candi-
date for Governor it can be stated
that the new Democratic State COM
mlttee selected at the primaries will
name William F. McCombs as chair
man to succeed William Church Os-
born.
Gov. Glynn win follow up the cleo
ton of Mr.. McCombs as chairman by
an announcement that Democratic
leader viii ha ap up-stater.
