SUFFRAGE CARRIED
STATE BY 100000
Gov. Mccall and the Entire
Republican State Ticket
in Massachusetts Were
Reelected, Formers Ma
jority Being 90,559, and
Coolidge's Majority Was
Even Larger

/ New York, Nov THE state of New
York gave unlimited suffrage to woman
in yesterdays election by majority
which is expected to reach 100000 when
the tabulations are completed. Early to-
day the vote stood 533,5l9 for the amend
ment and 446,79l against. with l,34s
missing out Of the states 5,772 election
districts
Tammy Hall returned to power as the
result of the mayoraity election. John
| +, Hylan, a county judge of Kings coun-
ty, was swept into office by the largest
plurality ever given mayoralty can
didate in the city, and with him the en-
tire Democratic ticket was elected. Hy-
lan's plurality was I4s,l7S.
The tremendous Socialist vote was the
feature Of the election. The total polled
by that party in the last mayoralty cleo
tion was only 32,i33. This year Hillquit
ran close third to Mayor Mitchell and
in many parts Of Harlem and the Bronx,
he polled more votes than Mitchell. Hill
quist ran on a straight. out peace plat
form. He declared victory for him
to negotiate an immediate peace
Hylan carried all five boroughs Of
Greater New York. His best showing
was in Brooklyn, where Bennett polled
a large part Of the primary vote which
won him the Republican nomination aft
er recount. 1t was conceded BY the
of all parties that many Of the
votes cast for Bennett would have gone
to Mitchell if he had been the Republican
nominee, but Benefits total for more
than half the city added to Mitchels
would not have been enough to defeat
Hylan.
Had the election been close the result |
might have hinged on the votes of the |
$4,000 soldiers and sailors from this city |
who now are in government service but !
il all of them voted for Mitchell it could |
not change the result The ballots of /
he men in France, in camps and ON board |
ships will all be counted at the same time
1t Albany seven weeks hence The New
York City drafted men at Camp Upton,
he cantonment to which New York's
contingent in the national army has been
tent, voted yesterday 1t was estimated
hat about 10000 cast their ballots there.
!
Hylan Stands BY Americanism.
Judge Hylan's first act after being as
ured of HIS election was to make this
tatement:
"The result speaks for itself The peo-
lie have spoken and in no uncertain man
er. Democracy has once more been re-
tored to power. The people and not the !
So Al. !
our years. | am grateful indeed for the
thus reposed in me by the cit
,ens OF the city of New York.
"The result is a complete Just iiication !
t the fight we have made for honesty, :
fficiency and economy in the public sery- !
e. That was the sole issue upon which
he election was decided.
''I want to make it plain TO the world !,
nat there was no issue of Americanism
+ loyalty involved, so far as | am con-
.rned. There could be none for | am
; good an American as any man, as 10y
to my flag, as loyal to my country '
nd as firm and determined in support
every act of the government in this
ar as any man.
Il ask the editors of the newspapers in r
his city and in other cities to give
commence to this declaration, so that
lere may not go abroad to the people of
lis morning who have no appreciation of d

on that the question of the war or the Ii

nited States government are in the q
ightest way involved. B
MY first utteranee in this campaign in q
