 CHICAGO. April 6.-"Big Bfls Thompson. Republican, was elect ed mayor of Chicago yesterday af= ter the most bitter election cam paign ever fought in the history of the city of Chicago, by plurality estimated at 77,000 votes over his Democratic adversary, Mayor Will liam E. Deyer. This election saw all previous records fall as more than a million votes were east.
 The campaign had ended with the killing of Vincent Druccia, a notorious gangster, by the police in a vigorous cleanup of the city in preparation for the riots feared for election day. Officials feared and with reason, that violence would mark the balloting. The police were armed with 35 machin5 guns mounted on motor ears. and were instructed to shoot to kill, in case the anticipated rioting deYel- oped.
 The expected killings failed te materialize although there was some shooting and two Democrat Clubs were bombed early in the day.
 Thompson's victory was gained largely in the Negro sections whicl cast 10000 ballots almost unani mously for him. He also drew big Wet support. With 161 missing precincts which can not change the position of the men, the vote stood. Thompson, 4S1, 1,470; Deyer, 409, 729; Robertson, Independent, 4S,- 1S6.
 Early returns from silk stock ing" districts showed Mayor Deyer leading Thompson by a small plu raIity but later returns from the Wet districts and the Black Belt turned the tide With $50 pre- cinets in, Big Bill snatched the lead and was never again headed. The swing from Thompson in the normally Republican city was esti mated to be S0,000.
 Only that Mayor Deyer's Dry tendencies has alienated a large Democratic vote, he might easily have captured the election, accord ing to experts. Thompson issued statement after election. He said that one of his first acts will be to oust the superintendent of schools, William MeAndrews, whom he called the 'stoolpigeon of King George" He declared he will sur round himself with men who will advance the interests of Chicago and uphold the principles of George Washington.
