(By Leaspd Wire to The Times) New York, Nov. 3 After closely studying the election returns, old po litical campaigners today declared that Tammany had suffered at the polls yesterday the worst defeat in its history. This in spite of the elec tion of William J. Gaynor as mayor. Except for the head of the ticket, the tail of the Tammany tiger was twist ed right down the line. The fate of Charles F. Murphy as the Tammany leader Is in the balance today, as a result of the election. That he will be forced to fight des perately to retain his supremacy Is taken as a foregone conclusion. That financial interests in the background have thrown their weight against Murphy was reported today, and within the wigwam a dozen braves are waiting for a chance to remove their superiors scalp. One report has it that he has already been asked to quit. For the first, time since the crea tion of the greater city, Tammany is out of the hoard of estimate. The mayor has 3 votes, but the opponents of the democratic organization con trol thirteen, and it is believed that Gaynor will not follow the precedent of other democratic mayors and agree with all Timraany projects. It wouldn't help Tammany much if he did. The hall on 14 th street was very gloomy today. The tiger is thor oughly whipped. A feature of the board of estimate situation is that Brooklyn needs one more vote to give that borough con trol of the hoard, it having eight votes now. Manhattan has but five votes. The possibility of a political line up on the board would make it easy for the rise of a new democratic lead ed and the overthrow of Murphy. Murphy Is hard hit by the election; McCarren is dead and Brooklyn needs a leader, and Joseph Cassldy, of Queens, joined the Down and Out Club yesterday. The fusion forces took even the Judgeships from Tammany and "Christy" Sullivan, the hope of the Sullivan clan, was defeated for sher iff by John S. Shea by 23,000 ma jority. Will W. J. Gaynor,. elected 'mayor of New York by at least 70,000 plu rality, serve his term in office? That was the question asked today when his threat to resign if the board was not also democratic, was brought up. John Purroy Mitchell, fusion presi dent of the board of alderman, today said that he was ready to take up the duties of mayor should Gaynor quit. In a speech made in the Bronx last Thursday, Gaynor made his threat in these wordst "Just think 'of electing me, If you will, with a hos tile board of estimate. Why, you -would fret me to death. I could not stand It and I would not stay there." In a speech delivered Saturday night, however, Gaynor contradicted himself, declaring that he had no in tention of stepping out if returned by the voters. A move to' question the mayor-elect as to which state ment he will stand on was talked of today and may be thrashed out. John P. Mitchell today Bald that he had no doubt that Gaynor would re sign. "He has said repeatedly In public that if the Tammany board of estimate was not elected and he was, would resign. We expect bo emi nent and pious a Jurist to keep his word. In that event it would be my duty to assume the Office of mayor under the law. I am ready tq do so, since Mr. Gaynor is determined to thrust the honor upon me." The hand of Patrick McCarren, the Brooklyn democratic leader who died In the hottest fart otthe campaign, reached forth from the grave to exert powerful insuence iu tun , OTO ELECTION RKTI RNS The Evening Times sur- prised its friends last night by giving tho full returns from all over the coifntry over its own leased wire. As announced in yesterday's pa- per The Evening Times open- ed up Its building to its Or friends last night and all the election returns from New York City and ihe entire country were given out. The Evening Times has a leased wire direct from New York 9 and M this way it gels the news exclusive, and no other 0 paper could give t.he news as 0 quick or full as The Times. From about 7 o'clock last . flight the crowd began to $ come, and jinlil 10 there was 0 a constant stream of people 0 who were interested in some 0 place over the country. Many tf visitors in the city were 0 interested in New York and 0 they were delighted lo know 0 that they " could get such 0 full returns from the great 0 city. Hundreds of men 0 from the city and county C "'dropped in" ta see 0 how things were going and 0 from many points in the state 0 came the call over long-dist- 0 ance to know how the elec- v0 tion was going in New York.' 0 . The announcement on the 0 front page of The Times 0 yesterday made the people 0 know that the NEWS would 0 be given out at The Times 0 office. Democrats,- republi- 0 cans, and independents all 0 came to The Times for their 0 reports, because they find 0 that we give it as it hap- 0 pens. It was a jolly crowd 0 here last night, some talk- 0 ing about Tom Johnson and 0 what they expected of him, 0 and others of the fight in 0 Maryland or of Judge Gay- 0 norts victory in New York. 0 When our office closed last 0 night the people of the city 0 and many points in the state 0 knew all about how the elec- 0 tion had gone. Our motto is: 0 Get all the news and get it 0 FIRST. 0 In his last illness, as in so many years of his life, "Long Pat" remain ed an astute politician, and the or ders he gave on his death bed result ed in the election of his ticket in Brooklyn with the exception of the borough president. It was a McCar ren victory through and through. Mr. McCarren's successor is elect Col. Benehan Cameron ' I '. mC' : I - j-. if-..' rjf f- - I fhjg i 1 " v,v A Colonel Cameron is President of which meets Here tomorrow. ed next month by the county commit tee. The shade of the dead leader will be still dominant. Isaac M. Kemper, who fought with McCarren through thick and thin, even in the fight against Murphy of Tammany Hall, was elected a justice of the supreme court. The county clerkship, the sheriff, the posts of coroner, and register, and the assembly and aldermanic vic tories, got the McCarren forces. Robert M. Moore, Tammany candi date for comt roller of the city, named over the protests of McCarren, was swept away in the democratic defeat. Otto T. Bannard, the defeated re publican mayoralty candidate, today praised William Randolph Hearst, his civic alliance opponent, for his work in behalf of the victorious fus ion nominees for the lesser offices. Mr. Hearst headed a ticket consisting of the fusion candidates. When it was suggested that Hearst had cut into the republican vote, Mr. Bannard replied, "undoubtedly, but Hearst pulled Ihe fusion ticket through." Hearst himself today declared that he was satisfied with the result of his campaign, because of the defeat of Tarn many. He said: "If an anti-Tammany hoard of es timate has been elected, and if the worst characters on the local Tam many ticket have been defeated, I am thoroughly satisfied with the result of the election and consider my ef forts well rewarded. 1 went, into the campaign to accomplish exactly tJiat as I stated in my letter of accept ance." Charles S. Whitman will be the successor to District Attorney Je rome. On the fusion ticket he was elected with a plurality of 22,000. The election dealt to Tammany one of the severest blows that organiza tion has received in its history. With no candidate but the mayor elected, Tammany is shorn of patronage, which Is controlled principally by the comptroller, the president of the board of aldermen and the borough presidents. Tanimany is driven back to its hall, with scarcely a word to say in the matter which it has set tled for its own benefit for years. Amendment Defeated. Baltimore, Md., Nov. 3 With out lying counties still to be heard from, and the probability that complete election returns will not be known until tomorrow, the .defeat of the con stitutional amendment to disfran chise 50,000 negroes is admitted by its advocates today. The democrats, who supported the proposition, are otherwise victories throughout the state, however, and control both houses of the legislature, making the re-election of U. S. Senator Raynor almost a certainty. It is believed that the disfranchise ment amendment has been defeated by at least 5,000 and possibly 7,000.

IMPORTANT MEETING OF DIRECTORS To Determine Which Cities Shall Compose the Carolina League Next Year TO SUCCEED WEARNE Directors of Carolina League Will .Meet in Charlotto Thursday and Three Important Questions Are to be Considered Determined Effort Will be Made to Keep J. H, Weai ne As President Both Raleigh aud Durham Want to Come in and There is a Strong Likelihood of Bo tli Towns Becoming Members. Winston-Salem Has Taken on New Life Siuce Visit, of Tynw Cobb. (Special to The Times) Greensboro, Nov. ;) The meeting of the directors of the Carolina League in Charlotte Thursday and their action regarding the three most Important questions embodied in the call the election of a president, der termining upon the cities that will compose the circuit, next, season, and raising the guarantee to visiting clubs from $60 to $75, is awaited with much interest by local fandom, much gossip being indulged in here as to what towns will be decided upon as fit to occupy berths in the league. The first matter to come before the directors will be tho election of a successor to President .1. H. Wearne, who has emphatically announced that he will not allow his name to be con sidered again. Mr. Wenrno has been president of the league since its or ganization two years ago, and has made a capable and efficient officer. A determined effort will be made to have him reconsider and again ac cept the presidency, and should he see fit to accede to the demands of the fans' throughout the circuit Is is al most an assured fact that he will re ceive the unanimous vote of the- di rectors, but In case he does not there will be several names presented, among which will be Mr. J. W. Todd, and I... .1. tirandl, of Willi this matter disposed of the directors will proceed to divide upon the eili. s to ((impose ihe circuit. Thai. Kah iuh and Durham will make a determined efl'orl lo ::.-iin admit tance to i lie league is kiiou ti, i he Sec retary already having received notice that these two cities will be repre sented at. tlie meeting. Then- is, of course. ,i probability tli-.t both may he admitted and the halite made an eighi-cbih one, instead oi ri. but it is more likely that Anderson will he dropped and either !ialej!;h or Dur ham selected in i's place, with the hope annul" local falls- that Ualcigh Witt be ihe town Selected. At (lie close of the pas! sea son .the owners of the Winston irancliise threatened lo dispose of it on ac count of t.he poor attendance given the team in that ciiy, but since the visit ol Ty (.'olih the fans of the Twin Cities have taken on new life and it is now believed that, they will again make an effort to land a pennant and therefore cither Durham or Raleigh will have to he refused admittance if the circuit is to be composed of only six cities. Thar Anderson will be dropped is almost a certainty, for be sides giving very small attendance with a team that led in the lace until the last, two weeks, it is very. inacces sible to the other towns. The dope -here is that the league next year will he composed of Itnl eigh, Charlotte. Winston-Salem, ami Greensboro in North Carolina, and Spartanburg and Greenville in South Carolina. The question of raising the guar antee to visiting clubs, from $ " 0 to ?75 is another important matter to come up, it being claimed that ?fi0 is not. sufficient to pay the actual ex penses of visiting clubs. OCT. POSTOFFICE RECEIPTS $8,474.58 The progress and growth of the city is in no way shown more than the postotliee receipts, and when a sub stantial increase is shown from month to mouth, it may lie put down as a certainty that there is a healthy growth. The Ualcigh postotliee receipts for the month of October l"i9 amounted to fS.u74.u8, which is an increase of $399.74 over the some month in 1908. This is a very creditable showing, Indeed, and one that should make all Ralelghttes feel that we are still on the upward move, and with a little more push wo can make our capital city take the forefront of the South ern capital of Charlolt Greensboro.

Nov. 3 Jackson, the (enter of the bloody Hargis-Cal-iahan fend, is in a reign of terror to day following an all-night election riot, in which a dynamite bomb was exploded aud e.iiOO shots were fired by rioters. The soldiers were unable to check the disorder, which lasted mii! il early this morning. A party of the town's loading men and women were driven from the democratic headquarters when bul lets began to crash through the boards of the buildings. The refu gees were forced to dash through a rain of bullets, picking their way with the aid of lanterns, to a brick struc ture, where they barricaded them selves. The firing began with the first elec tion returns, and both factions took possession of the streets, firing pro miscuously . The troops in the town were rein forced by others that had been sta tioned across the river at. Evens Hotel. Their combined force, how ever, was Insufficient for the check ing of the disorder, and for hours the town was a battlefield. None but the combatants of rioters dared venture (Cettloued on Page Two.)
