whether Dean Cross was able 10 hold his lead.
 Democratic headquarters in the Erwin hotel was crowded to its ca pacity with a group of cheering, singing and happy democratic work CTS. Party workers openly expressed their surprise.
 We only held out hope that Bill Mangan would be elected but here the whole ticket went across in landslide" one of the leaders said.
 Every time Judge Mangan made Gn appearance in the main room of headquarters the crowd wept into q prolonged cheer. Senator elect Will liam F.. Hagearty, Representatives. elect Lucian Maciora and Samuel A. Googel were congratulated time and again
 One veteran democrat who claim = ed he probably had the championship for voting for more losing tickets in hia life than any other man told tn" two young lawyers who were elect ed to the state assembly hewas glad 10 sec they were successful. Con- t:nuing he said:
 "They told you boys you have to register republican if you want to get something in politics, Well what do those future judges down the street think now"
 At regular intervals Matthew J. Callahan, former Mayor A. M. Paonessa's political agent, John l.. Sullivan, Thomas J. Devine and Cyril Luddy announced returns they received over the telephone. Evcry democratic success was given an ovation, Finally the announcement was made that Paonessa carried Hartford county by 5000. The greatest ovation of the evening fol- lowed.
 The entire group gathered about Paonessa and he was carried on their shoulders from one end of the room to the other. Paonessa was in a very happy mood and he called several friends and told them of his success.
 IL was not until this morning that the greater portion of the gathering i learned that PaonesSa had been de- featcd. When it was announced that he carried Hartford, the informant was giving the result of the city Of Hartford rather than Hartfor1 county although he himself thought i5 was Hartford county, he said to- day.

 He held large bucket and said:
 "LaGics and gentlemen. the return O. the full dinner pail
 He announced he was going 10 pass the pail among the gathering l tC tDIlCAl IllOilNH 'llc'taAl M '''Si ~ music. Before he could leave his place Dr. A. l.. Ayitable threw in a SlD bill. Coins were dropped as Sullivan walked about the hall, Attorney r. F. McDonough who last spring was defeated by Mayor George A. Quigley for mayor was surrounded by voters several times during the night and was assured by them they would get him across yet"
 Judge Mangan had little opportu- nifty to say much. However on one occasion he said, My old friends from Niggcr hill did not forget me
 Mrs. Mangan probably received as many congratulations as her hus- band. She is a democratic member of the school committee. Thomas J. Smith, chairman of the town committee, said the victory was the realization of dreams over many years. He was greatly moved by the unexpected success. When the crowd still though. paonessa had been elected county sheriff one of the group, well known local man, stood on the piano and while the entire gathering turned their attention toward him. he denounced Sheriff Dewey. Con tinung he said:
