The band shat blared out it's tunes in
the gallery at Tammany Hall rang true
when 1t played Hail, Hail, the Gangs
All Here" They were. The gang was
| there in all its enthusiastic exuberance
Its members. as the figures of the re-
turns showed, were numerous. Unlike
two years ago, when the wigwam fol-
lowers had so little to cheer for, and
besides were driven indoors by the
great downpour Of rain, last night they
voluntarily entered the portals of the
famous structure whence have emanat-
ed governors and mayors. For they
came to celebrate. And they did.
Every noise-making device ever in
vented was in use in the closely packed
hall, from the old-fashioned cow bell
with its harsh, reverberating jingle, to
the smallest horn sold on the curb
With all these instruments of tumult
working at the same time the male and
female Tammany Indians were yelling
and cheering, din arose calculated to
make college cheer leader feel his
utter inefficiency.
No wonder! Not only was there q
great Democratic victory, but what
more popular member. tried and true
Of the Tammany organization, was
more deserving of the great victory
than Al Smith. That was the senti-
ment which prevailed and the thought
behind the great response given by the
faithful cohorts of Tammany.
Announcer Loses Count
Sometimes the band was totally sub
merged In the more discordant sounds
of the mechanical and human noise
makers, while at other moments the
cornets and tromhones drowned out
the voice of the man on the platform
who read the returns. However, early
in the evening the Smith victory
seemed SO overwhelming that few
thousand more or less could not mat
ter, SO the crowd just gave themselves
up to revelry. And the announcer Of
the returns, when the figures reached
the hundreds of thousands, satisfied
himself and the crowd by announcing
the incoming results in terms of bet-
ting odds, saying merely that Al
OHlLn vote was TOUR 10 one or tve tc
one.
Like the spectators at boxing bout
| who want to see q Knockout the crowd
in Tammany Hall waited for the Ana
| blow that numerically stretched the
Republican candidate at the feet Of
their own champion.

companied by Justice Joseph F. Moss

Fifth Avenue Places Crowded
Bulletin service also was maintained
in leading restaurants. Society was
heavily represented at Sherry's, the
Plaza, the ST. Regis, the Ritz and other
Fifth Avenue resorts Of the fashiona-
Bile. Foil-necked bottles served at
tables in these resorts we're said by
head walters TO contain sparkling
cider. Since Mr.. Volstead's famous
coup, one restaurant manager said,
many former champagne drinkers had
formed liking for cider. He said GER
tain brands of sparkling cider are now
nearly as expensive as champagne used
to be. This costly cider is served from
champagne coolers, the bottles swathed
in napery-"just like Pomniery, you
know" as the restaurant man put it.
Large crowds were entertained at the
Belleclaire, Majestic, Embassy, Marie
Antoinette and Netherland hotels. Dim
ners and dances occupied all dining
room and ballroom space in each OF
these hostelries. One of the biggest
parties took place at the Commodore,
where thousands gathered to hear the
returns. Several dances were held
there and more than q hundred dinner
parties given.

More fire alarms we're answered By
firemen from all stations in greater
New York last night than any election
night in history, the records of the
Fire Department will snow. These
alarms in almost every instance were
caused by bonfires started by boys and
young men who were celebrating the
election.
The majority of the alarms were
sounded from the poorer sections of

East Side and the east Harlem districts

each fire house with engines running.
In the Bronx the Street Cleaning De-

kers tonight said the Indications were
that Judge Appel had been victorious

Another surprise of the election
there was the poor showing made by
the millionaire Commissioner of Public

Election Pleases Enright

Police Commissioner Enright and
Police Department officials received
election returns at Headquarters last
night. The Commissioner appeared to
be in unusually good humor at the be-
ginning of the evening and his ami
ability increased as the evening pro-
gressed.
Headquarters hummed with activity
until midnight. The returns were re-
ceived in the gymnasium, while Com
missioner Enright received them in his
private Office. With him were Chief
Inspector William J. Lahey, Deputy
Chief Inspector Thomas Murphy and
Acting Deputy Chief Inspector Cal
ahane.
The police band serenaded the Com
missioner and his aids for several
hours. The Commi ssioner said that ev-
cry policeman in the department, save
those on sick leave, was on duty last
night.

vindicates the judgment Of the dele

Governor Smith made no promises that
he failed to keep. Experience shows
that the people do not forget officials

We hope the final returns will show
that Governor Smith will have Il

fulfill the party platform pledges
Every element Of the party has helped
in the victory.
THE gratitude of the Democracy Of

The strain of the election contest
seemed to have been more severe for
the elder Mrs. Smith, who recently Gel
ebrated her seventieth birthday. than
for her son, when she appeared at the
polling booth in Public School to
cast her ballot. Mrs. Smith, fatigued
by the walk from her home, was nerv-
Gus and excited as she awaited her

for flashlight at the request Of the
photographers and then hurried away
with her son-in-law. John j. Glynn.

Surrogate John P. CohaIan on the
face of early returns was running
ahead of Frank j. Coleman, Republi-
can candidate FOR Surrogate, and sec
ond to John P. OsBrien, Democratic
candidate.
Reports were received at Cohalan
headquarters from watchers that Tam
many was stealing Cohalan votes
Wholesale. The campaign managers of
Surrogate Cohalan at midnight de-
clared that they still believed an hon
est count would show the reelection of
Cohalan, who was turned down by
Murphy and Koenig.
1t was charged at Cohalan head
votes being counted for O'Brien, but
were also being added to Coleman 3
colur.r so that his showing would not
be altogether ridiculous.
Tammany in it's pre- election predic-
tions said the vote polled by Cohalan
would not exceed 10000. Wash bets
were made that Cohalan would not
poll 10000. The early returns indicated
his vote would be in excess of 121, 900.
After the first returns were made
Tammany began to shave off Cohalan's
strength in the official returns. The
last return received was from more
than one-tenth of the county, and with
all the Tammany shaving Cohalan's
vote will exceed 75,000-even on the
returns made UP by the election in
spectors from the Murphy Koenig
machines.
The vote FOR Cohalan from 100 of the
$50 election districts was 1913 Cole

These returns gave O'Brien 17.o7s.

ceded. The formers election had been
claimed earlier in the evening.
Socialists estimated that the vote of
Edward F. Cassidy, candidate for Gov
ernor, would be between 125,ooo and
10000.
Cassidy said early in the evening
that if the Socialist-F Farmer Labor party
did not poll 100000 votes he would be
dissatisfied, but that "if we go over
250,000 we will have established a foun-
dation for the American Labor party
in this state and have begun our work
as vital factor in New York politics u
Cassidy in commenting on Smiths
election said that he hoped that the
latter would "get Democratic Legis-
lature, but I am afraid it will be Re-
publican. If Democratic Legislature
is elected Smith will have no alibi. 1t
will be a test of his sincerity in certain
progressive planks in his platform,
such as return to the direct primary
and municipal ownership"

NUT FAKE FIGHT SAYS CARPENTER
 IN WARM DENIAL

Paris. Dec. 6-CBy A. P-)-GeOrges Carpenter. in newspaper 1nterveIws today, added his protestations to those of Francois Deschamps, his manager, to the assertions of Bat ting Ski that the boxers recent meeting was to have been framed.
 Carpenters chief argument in his efforts to dtscredit the statements or the SenegaIese is to show his badly damaged knuckIes and to exhibit x-ray photographs of his hands taken after the fight. which show that all the metaCarpal bones were broken.
 'DOes that look like a fake fight?'' querried Carpenter. He also asked whether it was likely that he would arrange 8 frame up for a bout he was so sure of wining that he actually lost it by over-cOu6dence. The former champion asserted that since his defeat his one ambition has been to met Ski again and re-estabIish his reputation.
 An interesting scene in this latest sporting drama was enacted in the office of the newspaper L'AUto last evening when Ski and his former manager. NJ. HelIers, meeting by ar- cident. had 9 heated passage of words over the charges. the truth of which HelIers denies. The argument which took pIa ce in the presence of the as founded newspaper staff, ended where it began.
