NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-John F. Fly Ian, a county judge of Kings county, was elected mayor of New York city today by q plurality of more than 100, roo. He carried with him the entire democratic city t.cKet, including Charles l.. Craig for comptroller, AL fred F. Smith for president of the board of aldermen and Edward Swann for district attorney
 Indications are that the democrats will have a majority in the board of estimates which controls the expendi ture of the city funds.
 Mayor John P. Alitchel, who sought reelection as d fusion candidate, al- though not formally nominated by any party. was a poor second in the race. His vote in LAO districts out of 2,O6S iu the city was I04.729 compared with 205. .2GS for Hylan.
 Morris Hillquit, the socialist candi date, about whom rallied most of the radical clements in the city and all those who favored an immediate peace, stood third with S9 S19 and William M. Bennett who unexpectedly woa the re- publican primary nomination from Mayor Mitchell, was fourth with S4627.
 From the time the returns were re- ceived from the first 100 districts the result never was in dOuht. It was evi- dent Hylan had scored an overwhelm- ing victory and again brought control of the city administration into the hands of Tammany Hall
 Most of the newspapers which had supported Mitchell. and that included all in the city except those owned by William R. Hearst, conceded Hylan's election before o'clock.
 Judge Hyfan'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 peo- pie and rot the corporate interests win rule for the next four years. am indeed grateful for the confidence thus reposed in me by the citizens If the city of New York.
 The result is complete justifica- ton of the fight We have made for economy, honesty and efficiency in the public service. That was the sole is sue upon which the election was de- cided.
 T want to make it plain to the world that there was no issue of American ism or loyalty involved, so far as I am concerned. There could be none for I am as good an american as any man. as loyal to my flag. as loyal to my country and as firm and deter mined in support of every act of the government in this war as any man.
 T ask the editors or the newspapers in this clay 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 appleC4a ton of our local situation the slightest intimatiCn that the question of the wal or the war policy of President Wilson and the United States government arc in the slightest way involved.
 My first utterance in this campaign in response to a question put by re- porter was that I stood uncompromis- ingly behind the president in support of the acts and policies of m ycountry and that the war must be fought to . conclusion which would bring an hon orable peacve to America"
 Charles F. Murphy, head of Tam amny Hall, said:
 The result of the election is q grati- flying victory over a campaign of de- ception and fraud. It demonstrates that the people are quick 60 detect th' difference between the true and tht sham"
