New York. Nov. B. Each succes
sive recapitulation today affirmed the
crushing defeat of the Tammany
forces in yesterday's, election In New
York .state.
The organisation was not only en-,
gulfed In a plurality of over lao.ouu
vote by which the fuslonlsts elected
John Purroy Mitchel mayor of New
York city, but In many up-state dis
trict of the state a severe rebuke was
administered to the Tammany democ
racy that has been In control of the
state sines the days, of Governor
Hughes. ,
William Sulier, deposed from the
governorship by Tammany's exposure
of his unlisted campaign contribu
tions, was elected to public office, lf
than three weeks having Intervened
since has was removed from the gov.
ernor's chair. He will return to Al
bany in January as a member of the
assembly.
Anti-Tammany Hons".
Many of the legislators who voted
to Impeach Bulsor met d-vfeat with
tl. laxuii iliat he will sit In an anti
Tammany house. On ths basis of In
complete returns It was estimated
.that the next assembly , will be corn-
SUFFERS
posed of 85 republicans, IT progres
sives and 4S democrats. Many of the
latter were said to be men of progres
sive or independent tendencies.
The fustonists won the. mayoralty
contest In New York with a plurality
almost as large as that which the
Tammany chieftain, Charles F. Mur
phy, had. said yesterday would elect
Edward E. McCall. Returns were
still lacking from a few districts early
today but a Mitchel plurality of 110,
000 to 115,000 was conceded.' : "
The vote of the borough of Brook
lyn complete showed a contribution
of 66,000 toward this plurality, or
more than half of . the advantage
which spelled the 'Tammany rout,
while Manhattan gave Mitchel a plu
rality of about 20,000.
Important boroughs Lost. .'-, r
With much reduced pluralities but
by a safe margin the, fuslonlsts elect
ed William A. Prendergast Cbmp-
troller of the city and George A. Me
Aneny president of the 'board of
aldermen." They kept out of Tam
many's hands the presidency .of the
three principal boroughs, Manhattan,
Brooklyn and the Bronx and thus In
creased the anti-Tammany . majority
on the board of estimate.
The fusion .vote on the board will
be 1 to Tammany's 2. This board
controls 1 the city's expenditures. ; A
fusion majority on' the board of alder
men was also elected. : . .
Two democratic congressmen were
elected in the city from the thir
teenth and twentieth districts. From
the former George W. Loft was chos
en to succeed the late Timothy D. Sul-
llvan. Jacob H, Hunter was elected
In the twentieth to succeed Francis
Burton Harrison. . v -
Made Safe Bets.
"The I told you so" sentiment was
nowhere more prevalent today than
in the Wall street district,, where those
who follow betting pointed to the ac
curacy with which yesterdjy's results
were foreshadowed In recent wagers.
Although it amounted to the smallest
total In years, 1500,000 was said to
have been placed In . bets during the
campaign. -.. ,
The first odds made Edward E. Mc
Call, the Tammany mayoralty candi
date, a slight favorite and after the
death of Mayor Gaynor even money
was quoted on Mitchel and McCall
until , the day after Governor Sul
iter was deposed, when the Wall street
bettors Interpreted this as unfavorable
tc Tammany. , :
The odds In favor of Mitchel
steadily lengthened until during the
week preceding election they ruled as
high as 5 to 1 but there was little
McCall money to be obtained.
WOMEN TAKE TTNXTStTALLY
ACTIVE PART IN ELECTION
Women took a more active part In
election work here yesterday than
they have ever done before. Dividing
the city Into sections, some of the
women , supplied and managed auto
mobiles . which carried men to and
from the polls and others helped to
feed thousands pf"Thungry watchers
while those who were not engaged In
ministering to the voters tried to take
straw ballot to learn how the men
stood on the question of woman's suf
frage.
Miss Dorothy Perkins, daughter of
George W. Perkins was one of sev
eral women who were conspicuous as
workers for the Honest Ballot associa
tion. -Miss Perkins, at an uptown
headquarters, acted as dispatching
agent' for more than a score of auto
mobiles which were kept busy convey
ing lawyers to polling places where
voters were challenged
Dr. Mary Halton led a band of yel -
ia..a.hil u-nmnn whn innU nn thd
stand In Columbus Circle where they
Induced 1500 men to sign . for the
cause of Woman's suffrage. Mrs. J.
Borden Harriman was one of the lead
ers among a group of women who
distributed 1500 sandwiches to the)
men at work at tn pons.. Tne most
interested woman In the campaign,
however,' was undoubtedly Mrs. John
Purroy Mitchel. who had shared with
her young husband his confidence of
election as mayor. While the returns
were coming In Justifying this confi-
dence Mrs. Mitchel was a happy hos -
less last night at their home on Riv
erside drlv,e to a party of friends.
ALBAJCY SPECULATES ON
'. CHOICE OF A SPEAKER
Albany. N. Y.. Nov. 6. It being
generally conceded around the Capitol
today that the republicans would have
a safe majority In the state assembly,
speculation turned to the probable
nominees for speaker;
Harold J. Hinman, of Albany, mi
nority ' leader in the .present assem
bly, was generally regarded as the
choice of State 'Chairman William
Barnes for the speakership. Hinman
was re-elected yesterday by the larg
est plurality he has ever received. .
If there was no internal dissension
In the republican party Hinman prob
ably would win easily but not all the
republicans are pleased with the rule
of Mr. Baxpeq. . .With, their eyes on
the day when they shall measure
strength with -the state chairman In an
effort to oust him from the state com
mittee the insurgents are desirous of
preventing, him front installing his
speaker, in the next assembly.
There seem's lltile "doubt that the In
surgent faotlon. will decline to caucus
with the regular republicans and will
nominate a' candidate kit their own. ,
Some Chance -for Sulzer.
Friends of William Sulzer pro
fessed to see a possibility of his being
the presiding officer of .the assembly.
It . was not generally believed, how
ever, that he would be a figure or
much consequence .la . the race. His
only hope, It was generally conceded,
lay In a division' of tWaasembly in al
most equal parts, ..... . . .
If by any chance Sulzer should loom
up' as a dangerous factor, in the race
the Tammany democrats would quick
ly join forces with the republicans
and select almost 'any candidate to de
feat the former governor. -. .

democrats and 20 republicans. ;
President Encouraged.
Washington, Nov. 6. President
Wilson made no official comment to
day on the democratic victories in
New Jersey, Massachusetts and Mary
land but told friends he was much
encouraged because In all three states
the tariff and currency were Issues
and he felt that the administration
policies had been upheld.
Secretary Tumulty was particular
ly happy that hU home county, Hud
son, gave James F. Fielder, the dem
ocratic nominee for governor, an
overwhelming majority, which helped
materially in winning the state. x
Senators and congressmen general
ly telephoned' their' congratulations to1!
the -White House and Secretary Bry-
nn, who campaigned In Maryland and
New Jersey, expressed his satisfaction
at the result.
The president already had sent a
telegram to Mr. Fielder, the victor In
New Jersey, and dispatched other
messages today. To David I. Walsh,
elected governor of Massachusetts, he
said:
"My '. heartiest congratulations. It
was a splendid victory finally won."-
To Blair Lee, democrat, , ' elected
United States senator in Maryland,
the president wired: '
"I congratulate you and the party
most warmly. The victory was com
plete." The president took a great interest
In the various municipal elections and
sent to his personal friend. Mayor
Newton D. Baker, re-elected in Cleve
land, the following message:
"Please accept my warmest con
gratulations. It did us all good to
hear of yoilr victory."
Unofficial returns to the White
House stating that Fielder had car
ried Essex county by 721 pleased the
president very much.
Practically complete figures show-
that the assembly will be 86 demo
