Cuchel's furniture, including several

IL DEAD, II WOUNDED
IN KENTUCKY FIGHTS

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 9.-Kentucky
awoke today from another costly election
TO find eleven dead and fourteen wounded.
Two Of the wounded were not expected
to live.
The most fatal election fights were in
"bloody Breathitt," where eight were
killed IN a fight at Clayhole and
Sylvester Howard, Jr, was shot to
death at Spring Fork. Two were wounded
probably fatally and two others were
hurt seriously at Clayhole. Other casual
ties were in Revenna and Frozen Creek.
Judge Huston Quinn, Republican nomi-
nee for mayor and the entire G.. o. P.
ticket swept Jefferson County, including

and county nominees were elected by Re

Six men are under arrest charged with
attempting to steal a ballot box in East
Louisville shortly after the polls closed.
Whether Republicans or Democrats
will control the State Senate is uncertain.
Democrats have nineteen members and
Republicans eighteen, but the decision
hinges on the district where J. II. Grain,
Republican, and D. J. Whitaker, Demo-

HYLAN WINS
NNEW YORK BY9
ABOUT 100000
Democratic Ticket Sweeps
City by Overwhelming
PIuralities.
GAIN IN LEGISLATURE

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Democratic
ticket backed by Tammany Hall has swept
New York City by the greatest plurality
ever rolled up IN a municipal election. 1t
was shown today.
John F. Hylan was elected mayor over
Henry Curran Dy about 100000, according
TO latest estimates today.
Others on the Democratic ticket were
carried into office by overwhelming ma
Jorities but none reached the vote polled
by Hylan.
Besides sweeping New York City, the
Democrats have gained seventeen seats
in the Legislature, five Of them outside
New York City and gained in upstate
municipal elections.
Republicans, however apparently won
the only State office to be filled. On the
basis Of returns early today Judge Will
liam 4. Andrews was leading ex-Justice
Townsend Scudder for the Court Of APP
peals. Scudder beat Andrews two to
one IN New York City, but Andrews, up
State lead probably will carry him into
Office by about $1,000.
Albany elected a Democratic mayor,
William S. Hackett for the first time in
twenty-five years. Syracuse elected
John VaIrath a Democrat for the first
time in fifteen years. In Schnectady
George R. Lunn, Democrat, was elected
for the fourth time. Rochester elected s.
Republican backed by the drys. In Buff
falo, Frank Schwab, a brewer, was elected
over George s. Buck in a nonpartisan
contest
Four amendments to the State con-
stitution were voted on but only one
providing a literacy test for voters ap--
peared to have a chance to carry.
The big Democratic victory IN Albany
was against the BARNES machine"
