Wagner Polls
Record Margin
In New York

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 R.-
Democratic Mayor Robert F.
Wagner won a second term
yesterday by $4,000 votes
largest majority ever rolled up
for a Mayor in the history of
the Nations largest city.
The son of the late New Deal
Senator. Robert F. Wagner, ST..
amassed 1.507, 342 votes to $751;
440 for Republican Robert K.
Christenberry. a hotel execu-
tive backed in the campaign by
President Eisenhower. Mr..
Wagner polled almost 70 per
cent of the mayoral votes cast.
MIR. Wagner. who two years
ago sought election to the
United States Senate but was
defeated by Republican Jacob
K. Javits, captured every one
of the city's five boroughs and
ran particularly well in Man
hattan's predominantly- Negro
Harlem section.
Harlem Vote Significant
Political circles had awaited
the Harlem outcome with spe-
cial interest to see whether its
normal Democratic majorities
would be reduced by the efforts
of Democratic Gov. Orval
Fauhus or Arkansas to block
school indignation in Little
Rock.
The Mayors margin in Har-
lem was about 4 to /, compared
with Democrat Adlai E. Steven
sons edge of about 2 to / in the
same area in the last presiden-
tial campaign.
Mr.. Wagner always has run
well in Harlem. He has espoused
the New Deal philosophy. which
has widespread Negro support.
and denounced Gov. Faubus'
action.
Negro leaders had expressed
doubt that the action of a
Southern Democratic Governor
would have much effect on the
vote for a Democratic municipal
candidate in the North. They
said it could have some effect
on a contest bearing on control
of Congress and its committees.
The largest plurality run up
previously in mayoral race
was $4,000 for Democrat Will
liam O'Dwyer in a three
cornered race in 1945. The late
Fusionist Mayor Fiorello H. La
Guardia's largest margin over
his nearest rival was $4,000 in
1947.
Democrats Gain Upstate
Mr.. Wagner had the Liberal
Party as well as the Democratic
nomination. but could have won
on the Democratic line alone
The Liberal line on the voting
machines gave him 219,096
votes of his 919,s02 plurality.
The Democrats also scored
victories upstate. They wrested
mayoralties from the Repub-
licans in eight cities, and them

former roofer was narrowly
defeated by Democrat Samuel
J. Tedesco, Al, a city Judge and
former minority leader Of the
State Senate.
Mr.. Tedesco, who takes Of
flee November IL, won by only
ISL votes.
Incumbent Democratic May
ors were turned out by voters
in Stamford. Waterbury and
Norwalk. In New Haven,
Democratic Mayor Richard c.
Lee easily won reelection to a
third term over State Repre-
sentative Edith Valet Cook, a
Republican. Mr.. Lee is lead
ing prospect for next years
Democratic nomination for the
United States Senate.
Political Phenomenon
Mr.. McLevy went into Office
"a years ago as a political
freak. but his reflections made
him a political phenomenon.
In an industrial city with only
q few hundred registered So
cialist voters, he defeated Re-
publicans and Democrats with
equal ease every two years
but only when he ran for
Mayor.
When he ventured to run for
higher Office outside the city,
as he frequently did, he was
beaten soundly. 1t took him
eight tries before he won the
Mayors job the first time.
Mr.. Tedesco defeated Mr..
McLevy after a campaign in
which Mr.. Tedesco charged that
his elderly opponent had Jagged
in pushing redevelopment in
Bridgeport. Mr.. McLevy re-
piled he favored redevelopment,
but that it had to be done eau
tiously to avoid tax rises and
to operate economically.

Discounts Democrats Claims
Chairman Alcorn discounted
Democratic claims of sweeping
victory, pointing out that at
stake in yesterdays elections
were two governorships. both
held by Democrats. and two
House seats. in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, both held by
Republicans.
To-day" Mr.. Alcorn said.
"the two governorships are
still held by Democrats. and the
two House seats are still held
by Republicans.
while we Republicans can
find little to cheer about, the
retention by Democrats of the
two governorships. when ana
lyzed, leaves little for them to
cheer about either"
Mr.. Alcorn conceded, how
ever, yesterdays elections again
underscore the seriousness of
the job facing the Republican
Party in 1858.
The Republican defeat in
the New Jersey gubernatorial
race. coming on the heels of
the loss of a Republican Sen
ate seat in Wisconsin, appears
to demonstrate that something
is seriously amiss in Republican
ranks. Both New Jersey and
Wisconsin have been strong

vacancy caused by the death of
Senator Joseph Mccarthy. New
Jersey was a banner Repub-
lican State in 1856. but Re-
publicans did not turn out for
Mr.. Forbes in yesterdays con-
test. Both Mr.. Kohler and Mr..
Forbes had received the strong
Endorsement Of Mr.. Eisen-
hover.
The results of mayora1ty
races in Pennsylvania did not
bode any good for the @. o. p,
next year. The Democrats re-
elected Mayor David s. Law
renee of Pittsburgh by a big
plurality and Mayor John T,
Hanlon of Scranton. Both were
chosen for unprecedented
fourth terms. In Lancaster, the
Democrats elected their may
orally candidate for the first
time in % years. Indeed, the
Republicans appear to have lost
a net of five Mayors in Penn
sylvania city contests.
McLevy Beaten
Only in Connecticut do the
Republicans seem to have
gained in mayoralty contests.
In Stamford and Waterbury
Republicans replaced Demo-
cratic Mayors. In Norwalk a
one-time Socialist, who ran as
an Independent, ousted a DEM
ocratic Mayor. But the veteran
Jasper McLevy, who has been
Socialist Mayor Of Bridgeport
since 1888, lost to a Democrat,
though by less than 200 votes.
The Republicans had hoped
to win additional Negro votes
on the school indignation and

however, Harlem apparently
