With the returns for the city prac-
tically all in at midnight the estimated
plurality for former Governor Alfred
+. Smith was over the 475,000 mark
The Democratic candidate carried all
the boroughs far in advance of his vote
two years ago, when he had city
plurality of 319,s97. The strong Re-
publican Assembly districts in Manhat-
tan and Brooklyn went to Smith by un-
expected margins.
With only sixty-seven election dis
tricts to be heard from out of the total
of 2,747 in the entire city, the estima.
ted plurality for Smith was slightly
over 475,ooo. The returns from 1850
districts gave Smith 737,316 and Miller
268,558. This would indicate a plural
ity for Smith of about AT, 7,97SN in the
city.

tion districts missing, gave Smith 1882
and Miller 6.212.

Republican stronghold and the home of
Samuel S. Koenig, President of the
Republican County Committee, with
but four election districts snissing
Smith had 1885 votes and Governo or
Miller 1907.
The Smith pluralities in the Tam
many districts throughout the city ran
far ahead of those Of two years ago
when he turned million votes against
the great Republican landslide. A
typical Tammany district, the 18th AS
sembly District, gave Smith 1888 and
Miller 1856. Two years ago Smith got
14,341 in this district.
States Senator in the city was slow
but the early returns showed DR..
Royal S. Copeland. the Democratic
candidate, running ahead of Senator
William M. Calder by more than two
to one. Five hundred and ninety cleo
tion districts out of the city total of
2,747 gave Copeland 139, ,o32 and Calder
61,916. This is an estimated plurality
for DR.. Copeland in this city of about
100000. His indicated plurality in
Brooklyn, Senator Calder's home bor-
ough, was about 10000.
Asrthe avalanche of Democratic fig
ures piled UP in little old New York the
Tiger danced at Tammany Hall and
Smith rejoiced with his friends and CO.
workers at campaign headquarters in
the Riltmore Hotel. The night before
election Al confidentially predicted his
own election by 250,000, or more. He
didn't say "Inore or less.'
Smith Repeats Statement
When the last returns came over the
wires the former Governor repeated
his simple statement of earlier in the
evening when the result already looked
certain.
