The day after election brought no
compensation to New York City Re-
publicans as the final returns came
In The 417,000 majority predicted
for Mayor Hylan in The Tribune of
yesterday proved almost exactly
correct. The actual figures were
417,9S6.
While the overwhelming triumph
of the Democratic party did not ex-
tend beyond the limits of the city,
members of that organization found
plenty to be cheerful about here.
Even upstate Republican majorities
of last year were cut into consider
ably.
In the city, with only two excep-
tions, all of the major offices fell into
the hands of Tammany in every
borough. Mayor Hylan will preside
over a 100 per cent Democratic
Board of Estimate for the next four
years. The only two rays of light
for the Republicans were the election
of Harry E. Lewis, District Attor-
ney of Kings, to the Supreme Court
Bench by $4,000 votes over his near
est Democratic opponent and the
election of Peter S. Seery as Sheriff
of Kings by margin Of $4,000 votes
over Michael Laura, Tammany's
choice.
Socialist Vote Shattered
In the general Democratic landslide
even the Socialist vote fell off, Jacob
Panken, candidate for Mayor on this
ticket, received only 83,209 votes, as
against $4,000 for Hillqnit four years
ago. At that time, too, the women were
not voting.
The Republicans elected only fifteen
Assemblymen, as against twenty-six
two years ago. The Socialists elected
none.
Upstate, the swing to the Democratic
standard was felt, but with less vio-
lence. Two normally Republican cities,
Albany and Syracuse, elected Demo-
cratic Mayors. The Republican ma
jority in the Assembly was also cut
into, but they still retain ninety-six out
OF 150 members.
Justices Williams S. Andrews, Repub-
lican candidate for associate judge OF
the Court of Appeals, obtained plu-
rality of 10000.
Reports received last night indi-
Gated that the proposed constitutional
amendment to give veterans preference
on civil service lists had been defeated.
1t was voted down in this city by
22s,7e8, and was not faring exceeding
ly we'll upstate. Chemung County
gave it majority of 1,417. Rochester
defeated it by vote Of 28,943 to
22,601.
Mayor Hylan yesterday put in the
greater part of the day at the City Hall
reading kilograms of congratulations
and issuing thanks to William Randolph
Hearst, in Los Angeles, and to the
politicians and the plain people at
home.
Mayor Hylan yesterday received
more than 500 kilograms of congratu-
lations, one coming from Senator
Hiram w. Johnson, Of California, ana
one from Governor Edwards OF New
Jersey. Senator Johnson is the city's
organization plans either in New YORK
or Albany. The Mayor called together
tha members of his personal staff and
thanked them for their hard work in
hia behalf during the campaign. Tele-
nrams also were received from Meier
Steinbrink, of Brooklyn; George r
Thompson, the United German Socie'
ties and the Brotherhood OF Locomo-
tive Engineers.
The total vote for Hylan, Currar
ord Panken was 1,174,762, which Is
ariv 89.178 below the registration this
wear. This last figure includes the
void and defective ballots: On this
basis about 95 per cent of those regis
tered exercised the voting privilege.
One election board was arrested fol
defacing ballots, but in general the
election went through without glarina
fraud.
Predictions were freely made yester.
day that the present harmony in tnt
City Hall and at I6mmany nAli Wouie
be short-lived. Hylan and Craig were
uuarrcling the greater part Of the las1
three years, being brought together II
the recent campaign because no one
had the hardihood to try to prevent
Craie's denomination. There is little
doubt around the City Hall that Mayor
Hylan will assert his authority ovel
the board and run it with an iror
hand.
