Bitter Race

Detroit, Nov. S-lNS- Ending

in Detroit's history, Edward J.

A total OF GS3.6l6 voters IN
1857 precincts gave Jeffries 20. .I99
votes, and Fitzgerald 175.St7--a
margin OF 3l.9S2 votes.
Before the final votes were tabu-
lated early today Fitzgerald con
graduated his opponent, adding
MY defeat will in no wise les

Seeks Unity
A message OF thanks to the vot-
ers came from Jeffriss. with a plea
for restoration OF unity and har-
mony in war-producing Detroit.
The appeal from the present
mayor came after Fitzgerald had
linked his campaign with the Ku
KluX Klan, and negro supporters
OF the court commissioner had ac-
cused the mayors administration
OF showing prejudice in the treat
ment of their race during and
after the June race riots.
Jeffries had denied the accusa-
ton, saying he had shown no fay-
ors to special groups-mcluding
the CLIO which threw its weight
and $4,000 behind Fitzgerald.
Jeffries had accused the powerful
union OF trying to grab" City Hall.
Not even the experts could &C
count for the quick swing to JEFF
ries in closing tabulatlons. Fitz-
gerald's followers were humping
the victory drum two hours after
the polls closed at s p. IN. but
when 500 precincts had been count

ITO endorse the Moscow declar-

Moscow declarations, but the Sen

ready to forego its constitutional
right to pass upon the ultimate
