With all districts canvassed. Sen

candidate for n third term. Political
observers appeared to be equally di-
vidcd today on the question Of
whether he would head an Indepcnd

kept his own counsel. Arriving at
City Hall this morning. Hylan de-
clared he would conclude his term
with nothing to regret"
81 am pleased with two things" he
said: "first that pulled the mask
off the big ham and egg man from
Albany and second, that ! made the
Traction and Underwood interests
spend an average Of $400 an election

The New York Evening journal.
strenuous supporter of the mayor in
the pre-primary campaign, has as
serted editorially today there would
be third ticket and expressed hope

it.
New York, Sept. P)-Statc
Senator James Walker. backed by
Tammany Hall and Governor Smith,
has won a decisive victory over May
or John F.. Hylan, supported by w.
r. Hearst, for the democratic may
orally nomination..
Repudiated as inefficient and as a
"puppet" by Tammany which had
elected him twice for four year
terms, Hylau went down by about
| 100000 votes in the primary yester-
| day.
Frank D. Waterman, fountain pen
manufacturer and organization can
! didate, captured the republican nom
| ination mayoralty over two insurgent
| rivals. John J. Lyons and VIM. NJ.
Bennett.
Tammany's jubilancc this morning
was tempered with concern as to
! whether Hylan would run independ-
| emily. The mayor ignored pleas by
| democrat leaders that he agree to
| support the winner, and retired with
out comment on the result.
Hylan Will Quit
The New York Times today quotes
| Mayor Hylan as having told close
friend, 81 am getting out Of politics
| with a clean record. | have done my
4! best"
At Los Angeles Mr.. Hearst rcserv-
cd comment on the returns until
| more complete data should be avail
able.
Hylan's opponents charged in the
primary campaign that the questions
of his running independently for the
election November 3 would be deter
! mined by the margin of his defeat.
The New York World says that
Hylan, with the publishers backing
will seek reelection at the head of
an independent ticket. The remain
der of the Hylan city ticket. the
newspaper says. will be new. John
H. McCooey, Brooklyn leader, one of
the three county leaders who sup
ported the mayor, said today that his
organization would support Walker.
Republican Hopes High
With an independent democratic
ticket in the field, republicans
would hold hopes of electing Water
man. Both Lyons and Bennett con-
graduated the manufacturer and
promised whole hearted support.
Charles Evans Hughes, Representa-
tive Ogden l.. Mills and other ma
tional party leaders have supported
Waterman.
The whole Tammany ticket scored
clean sweep. The mayor lost even
his home borough of Brooklyn. He
carried the borough of Richmond
(Staten lsland) and the vote in
Queens (Long Island municipal ter
ritory outside of Brooklyn) was
close. Walker ran up big leads in
Manhattan and the Bronx.
Democrats and republicans alike
said in speec hes that the democratic
primary was really fight between
Governor Smith and Mr.. Hearst with
potentialities as to the next demo-
cratic national convention. When
the returns we're in, Governor Smith
said he was "tickled to death"
Smith Jubilant
"The Hearst-Hylan campaign of
abuse has been answered by the en-
rolled members of the party. | am
going around with my head up in
the air, my chest out and with light
crown on my head"
