Comment From
Newspapers on
Hylan Victory
ssWorId" Holds Reelection
Is a Civic Misfortune
Which New York Walked
Into With Its Eyes Open
ssHerald" Blames SC. Cry
'sTimes'' Asserts Outlook Is
Sorry; Those Who Aided
HimCet WhatTheyWant

The following editorial comment is
made on Mayor Hylan's reelection by
the local morning newspapers:
THE WORLD:
"Mr. Curran knows the government
Of New York as few men have known
it. He has character and integrity
superimposed on capacity, but he has
no gifts Of demagogy, and so his actual
qualifications proved an .nsuperablc
handicap. New York did not want a
Mayor who measured up to the job. 1t
wanted Mayor who would rave and
rant about the interests and pose as
professional friend Of the poor.
at is useless to argue with that
state Of mind or to quarrel about the
consequences. The World regards
the reelection of the Mayor as civic
misfortune, but it is a civic misfortune
that New York walked into with it's
eyes open. Nobody tricked the voters
unless they tricked themselves. Four
years ago they had the excuse that
they did not know Mr.. Hylan. This
time they knew him, and the only pos
sible inference which can be drawn
from the election returns is that he is
the kind Of Mayor they want. SO we
might as we'll be philosophical about it"
THE HERALD
"To the great mass of the voters the
fve-cent fare, possibly because it typi-
fled for them the home rule principle
at stake, became for the moment of
more Importance than all the real is
sues. 1t was from first to last false
issue. It was false issue because
Hylan did not save the five-cent fare
for New York, as he made his public
believe. Hylan's boasted fve-cent fare
had become, with the loss of transfers
due to his policy, an average six-cent
fare. The extra taxes which had to
be levied on account of the transit
made it even more than siX-cent
fare, part of it going straight into the
rents.
"But with the voters of New York
completely deceived as to the fve-cenr
fare, with every other issue thrust far
into the background by Mayor and
candidate who showed himself a past
master of political cunning and trick
cry, that false issue served not merely
to re-elect Mr.. Hylan,. but to re-elect
him by a plurality such as no other
candidate for that Office ever ap-
preached, even with due allowance
made for the increase of the vote by
women.
THE TIMES
Prediction is futile in the case of
Mayor like Mr.. Hylan. He is one man
among multitudes of whom it is almost
impossible to believe that he will profit
by experience, that his second term
will be better than his first. There are
matters Of great moment to the city.

next four years. First of all the police,
