STATE SAFE IN G. O.P.
DESPITE CITY VOTE
Chairman Glynn, Going Over
Figures. Sees Only Normal
Republican Off Year.

Justice William S. Andrews, the Re-
of the Court of Appeals, probably will
have plurality OF between 10000 and
5000 over former Justice Townsend
Scudder when the returns from Tues
days election are complete. Further
figures received yesterday would indi-
cate that result.
George A. Glynn, chairman OF the
Republican State Committee, took the
detailed figures to Gov. Nathan l.. Mil
ler at his apartment in the Plaza last
night and they went over the returns
carefully. Chairman Glynn is of the
opinion that the Statewide vote shows
no decrease in the strength of the Re
publican party. The falling off was only
what might be expected in an off year.
Republican reverses in city and town
elections here and there. Chairman
Glynn told the Governor, were due to
local causes In almost every case rather
than to any general drift away from the
Republican party.
When asked by reporters to make
some comment on the results OF the
election in New York city and elsewhere,
the Governor replied:
"As many inferences may be drawn
as there are viewpoints"
The Governor, who reached the city
at noon, attended private luncheon
and in the afternoon spoke at the open
irg of the new Harlem Health Centre.
He will return to Albany late to-mor-
row. On Sunday in Albany he will give
a reception to Cen Daz.
Revised returns received from several
up State counties yesterday follow:

CLARK LAYS DEFEAT
TO TRANSIT POLICY
Likes Gov. Miller, but Not His
TheOries-Meyer Probe Got
Practically Nothing.

Resentment by the people of New
lican Legislature last winter of the bill
creating the Transit Commission was
chiefly responsible for the overwhelm-
ing majority received by Mayor Hylan
the municipal election last Tuesday,
John Kirkland Clark, defeated coalition
candidate for District Attorney, told
members of the Republican Club Of One
1T is no easy task for corpse to
sit up in his coffin and make an autopsy
upon himself said Mr.. Clark, but,
like a man who has been hit by an au-
tomobile, I would like to try TO get its
number for future use. The people OF
New York city do not like Gov. Miller's
trend of mind In a democracy people
govern themselves. and for years the
people of this city have been educated
by all the newspapers to believe they
had that right.
This year the Legislature created
body superior to local authority and gave
it the power to alter contracts entered
into by the city. Even though the
emergency was great the people here
resented this bitterly. 1t is my personal
opinion and nine out OF ten in New York
also believe that the appointment Of the
Transit Commission was for the purpose
of working out higher fare. Gov.
Miller is an able lawyer and admins
traitor and / admire him as man, but
I disagree with him fundamentally on
many of his theories. The passage of
the traction bill was responsible for the
result Tuesday more than any other one
thing.
Then there was situation among
the colored people which added from
20, 900 TO 10000 votes to the Democratic
majority. I live in a colored district
and, although it was strong for Hylan.
it elected a. Republican Assemblyman.
The Hylan vote was due to skilful prop
aganda worked by municipal officers.
Tho figures show that n majority of the
people regard the Republican party as a
class party in which tho poor are not
welcomed. 1t is up to us to change this
idea and we have got to wake up to 1t.
There was no glaring failure In the
Hylan administration that you could
point out There was his failure to build
OF course, but the war was going
on and many people felt 1t was wrong
to build schools at the expense of houses
when the housing situation was so acute.
However. Curran didn't receive the
credit he should have received for the
law exempting new buildings from taxa
tion.
1.-THE Meyer committee, which came
down here from upstate, found nothing
which would appeal to the
never have believed that
Hylan ever took any money and nothing
was pinned on him in the way Of dis
honesty, although he has been guilty of
political practices that ] would not ap

evening in the Queens Supreme Court
before Justice Cropsey.

ing in an opposite direction. Both men
were held up by the traffic policeman
until traffic going in cross direction
had passed. Then a signal was given
for the other traffic to move Wilcox,
after starting his automobile. gave sig
nal to the policeman that he wished to
turn around the corner, and the police
man at once held up his hand for the
traffic to let him pass. Stoehr either did
not see this latter signal or disobeyed it.
There was a collision OF the automobile
and bicycle. and Stoehr was so injured
that he was confined to his bed for five
weeks
In his defence Wilcox claimed that
the policeman had given him the right
OF way. and hence he was fully IN his
rights. In his charge to the jury Justice
Cropsey told tho jury that they would
have to consider II Stoehr had done any
thing that showed him TO be negligent.
The jury decided that the disregard of
the policemans signal was such negli-
gence. and returned a verdict for the
driver of the automobile.
Attorneys for Stoehr said thst be-
cause of the Importance of the question
involved an appeal would probably be
taken in order TO get a ruling of the
