which swept the city.
New York, Nov John F. Hylan
county Judge of Kings county was
elected mayor Of New York by a plu-
rality of more than 100000.
He carried with him the entire Dem
ocratic city ticket, including Charles l..
Craig for comptroller. Alfred f. Smith,
now sheriff Of New York county, for
president of the board Of aldermen
and Edward Swami for district attor-
ney.
Indications are that the Democrats
will have a majority in the board OF
estimate. which controls the eXpendi-
ture of the city funds.
Mayor John p. Mitchell, who sought
reelection as fusion candidate, al
though not formally nominated by any
party, was poor second in the race.
His vote in 1915 districts out of =
O6S in the city was HISS, compared
with 229,9S6 for Hylan.
Morris Hillqult, the Socialist can
didate, about whom rallied most OF
the radical elements in the city and
all those who favor an immediate ne
gotiated peace, stood third, with lO4,-
075, and William Nj. Bennett, who UNI
expectedly won the Republican prl-
mary nomination from Mayor Mitchell
was fourth with 1929.
Mayor Mitchell sent the following tel
egram to John f. Hylan:
Il congratulate you on your elec-
ton"
Result Never in Doubt.
From the time the returns were re-
ceived from the first 100 districts the
result never was in doubt. II was evil
dent Hylnn had scored an OverWhelm-
ing victory and again brought control
of the city administration into the
hands Of Tammany Hall,
Hillquit was the first of the unsuc-
cessful candidates to admit his de-
reat
The Republican county committee
announced at : 30 that Hylan undoubt-
eddy had been elected.
Loyal as Any, Says Hylan.
Judge Hyan's first act after being
assured of his election was to make
this statement:
"The result speaks for itself. The
people have spoken. and in no uncer-
tain manner Democracy has once
more been restored to power. The
people and not the corporate inter
eSts will rule for the next four years
u am indeed grateful for the con
fideuce thus reposed in me by the citi-
zens of the city of New York.
THE result is a complete justitica-
tlon Of the fight we have made for
honesty, efficiency and economy In the
public service That was the sole is
sue upon which the election was de-
clded.
81 want to make 1t plain to the
world that there was no issue of Amer
icnnism or loyalty involved, so far as
am concerned. There could be none,
for | am ms good an American as any
man. as loyal TO my flag, as loyal TO |
my country and as firm and determined !
In support of every act of the govern
ment in this war as any man.
Stands Behind President.
al ask the editors of the newspapers
In this city and in other cities TO give |
prominence TO this declaration, so that
there may not go abroad to the people !
Of this country who have no apprecia- |
ton of our local situation the slightest
intimation that the question of the war
or the war policy of President Wilson
and the United States government are |
in the slightest way involved.
MY first utterance in this cam
palgn in response to question put by |
a reporter was that stood uncom-
promisingly behind the president In
support Of the acts and policies of nv
country, and that the war must be
fought to a conclusion which would
bring an honorable peace to America"
Charles +. Murphy lender of Tam
many Hall, gave out this statement.
"The result Of the election Is graf
flying victory over 81 campaign of de.
ception and fraud. II demonstrates
that the people are quick 10 detect the
difference between the true and sham"
The tremendous Socialist vote WINS
the feature of the election. The total
polled by that party In the last mny
crafty election was only 32,133. This
year Hlillquit ran close third IN
Mayor Mitchell, and I'm mnny election
districts on the East side. In parts Of
Harlem and the Bronx. he polled more
votes than Mitchell.
Hillquit ran ON straight cut peace
ticket.
