win not go carpetbagging and will not
try to tisplace any county leader What
they will 70 Is seek to strengthen the
county lea~ srships.
The Republicans have been left in
q bad We in Albany. Their loss OF
the Senate by one vote means losing
control Of all the big committees in
GLIDING the Lockwood Housing Com
mittee. There Is said to be revolt
among the Republican Senators against
Luslx as leader.
Democrats were still hopeful yester-
day that the contests they have started
in districts where the vote was close
may win for them seats enough 70
give a majority of the lower house.
W is doubtful The Republicans have
six more than the necessary seventy
six majority. The Board OF Aldermen
win certify the election of several Re-
pubiicans whom the Board of Elec-
tions have declared elected, even if
there are contests. The Republicans
win organize the Assembly and pass
on its membership.
Control of the Assembly is not re-
garded as Of vital consequence. Mr
Smith will have command of tho situa-
tion through his veto power. He can
XIII anything the Republican Assembly
dSSs asNSy,Fe Assembly will not have
the Votes to repass anything over his
veto.
Samuel s. Koenig made as good a
showing as most of the county leaders.
Things are not regarded rs satisfac-
tory in New York, but il is doubtfH
whether there will be a change here
In leadership. By the defeat OF Calder
Jacob "A. Livingston gains Increased
power in Brooklyn and that old feud
is probably over with livingston the
winner. Koenig has not been strong
TN Albany during the Miller term and
the John J. Lyons row hurt the organi-
zation here. With that settled the lead
ers believe the county organization
can be pulled together.
The Smith headquarters in the Bit
more closed yesterday when the Gov
ernor-elect left for rest. Charles +.
Murphy went away with John 4.
O'Brien. Surrogate-elect.
Millions In City Jobs.
The city administration finds cause
for rejoicing in the half promises which
have come from Tammany sources that
the Transit Commission is to be ousted,
the Port Authority reorganized and the
Board OF Estimate given free hand in
subway building and port construction.
That will mean the biggest melon cut
In New York since the Catskill water
system was built. The work of the
Transit Commission will not be lost en-
itirely. IL they can have the awarding
of the contracts it IS believed the city
officials viii take over the Transit COM
missions plans for extension Of the sub
ways and 20 ahead with the building.
All the objections voiced for months to
hold up the work will disappear. it is
believed.
SO with the Port Authority work The
Hylan plan Is expected to disappear.
With the Board of Estimate in control
it is expected Mayor Hylan and his as
sociates will be willing to take over the
Port Authority project they have been
fighting so industriously.
Probably little time will be lost in get
ting out the contracts. The city officials
will be as eager to make the contracts
as they have been stubborn in blocking
them. IL Mr.. Smith goes through with
the program as outlined and aboiishes
the commission il is expected contracts
viii be popping ont of the Beard of Es-
Innate as fast as they can be prepared.
