New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-11-03


remained faithful TO the sufrag,
cause. Tompkins. Chautauqua, Niagara.
Broome and Cortland returned small
majorities favoring the amendment
Westchester went against the CAUSE
by 10000, and practically every other
county, as far as can be judged by late
returns. rendered large anti majorities.
In all II is estimated that 10000
votes will be the marg. n OF the upstate
victory.
In Greater New York It Is believed
that $1,000 Is q fair estimate Of the
anti majority. Republican state head
quarters believe that the Amendments
was defeated by at least 100000. In tho
light of tn imperfect returns, this
would seem to bs somewhat exagger-
ated.
OF the cities Of the state, Ithaca,
jamestown, Schenectady and Niagara
Falls alone have remained faithful to
the cause, as far as incomplete returns
can show. Following New York's lead,
Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, Auburn,
Troy, Utica and Rome have all rejected
the amendment by substantial ma
jorities.
As far as can be Judged by the still
incomplete returns, II would appear
that Manhattan defeated suffrage by
$4,000. Brooklyn by $4,000, Queens.
5000; Bronx. 5000. and Richmond,
1900. The upstate majority will prob
ably reach $4,000, to.alling approxi-
mately 100000, as the answer OF the
electorate TO the women's plea for
votes.
No Charges Of Fraud.
In contradistinction to the New Jsr-
sey election there has been no sccusa-
tion Of crooked politics in New York
election. Nor does there seem to have
been the illegal use OF political ma
chimes. and the partnersh' p Of the lia-
uor interests IN the election. which
characterized the testing OF the pro-
posed amendment In the state across
the Hudson. In New York. the strong
hold Of Tsmmany. whose leaders are
admittedly opposed TO suffrage. the
women watchers and pickeu were trest-
ed with courtesy and consideration. In
this state, at least. II has been simply
a case OF the electorate not being will
ing TO give women the vote.
At a late hour no statement had been
issued by any of the suffrage leaders.
The antis. however. were jubilant Ia
acclaiming their victory.
Mrs. Alice Hill Chittenden, president
Of the New York State Association OPP
posed to Woman Suffrage. said;
"we have defeated them decidedly.
Our organization will now enter into
the fight against the appeal for Fed
eral amendment. which. we understand.
will be the sufrsgists' next move"
Mrs. Charles A. Church. treasurer Of
the organization, said that she had
learned the vote against the amend
ment would probably approximate
l60, 900. II am not satisfied with this"
she added. 81 believe the voters Of the
state should have defeated the votes
for women appeal by at less, 100000"
The earliest returns prophesied the
defeat Of the cause. Thirteen scattered
upstate districts, the FIRST to be heard
from. rendered i.i52 votes for woman
suffrage and 1852 against Rome was
the earliest municipality to proclaim .
