New York Defeats Tam
many ? Connecticut Re
turns Three Mayors ?
Kentucky Has Row '
Now York, Nov. 2. ? Florejlo H.
?La Guardia was re-elected mayor
of New York today on a Hepubli
can-Fusion-Labor ticket ? the first
so-called^ "reform" candidate ever
to beat the city Democratic ma
chine twice In a row.
Jeremiah T. Mahoney, his Dem
ocratic opponent, conceded defeat
shortly after 9 o'clock tonight, asr~
the mayor's lead mounted to some
80,000 votes out of a total of
615,000 counted at that time.
The leaders of Tammany hall,
which in the century and a half ot
its life always had bee|[ral>ie here
tofore to beat down ally second
term challenge to city hall con
trol, were silent for the most part,
but Tammany Chieftain Christo-.
pher Sullivan commented that
the returns were "bum figures."
Dewey Also Wins
With La Guardia into office
went Thomas E. Dewey, a special
rackets prosecutor who defeated
the Tammany candidate for dis
trict attorney of the borough of
Manhattan, Harold W. Hastings.
The mayor, squat, hot-tongued
and politically unconventional,
went into power four years ago
when the Democratic party was
spilt. This time, it was united out
wardly at least, wit'h Postmaster
General James A. Farley, the
Democratic national chairman,
coming home to New York to go
to the stump for Mahoney ticket.
Tammany's loss of the district
attorneyship made its defeat all
the more crushing.

of his two rivals. George M.
Coughlin, Democrat, and Henry
Greenstein, Republican.
Mayor Murphy, for years prom
inent in Connecticut labor circles,
was re-elected for his fourth suc
cessive term, the fifth man in the
