John H. McCooey, Brooklyn leader, one of the three county leaders who sup- ported the mayor, said today that his organization would support Walker. Republican Hopes High With an independent democratic ticket in the field, republicans would hold hopes of electing Water- man. Both Lyons and Bennett con- gratulated the manufacturer and promised whole-hearted support. Charles Evans Hughes, Representa- tive Ogden L. Mills and other na- tional party leaders have supported Waterman. The whole Tammany ticket scored clean sweep. The mayor lost even his home borough of Brooklyn. He éarried the borough of Richmond (Staten Island) and the vote in Queens (Long Island municipal ter- ritory outside of Brooklyn) was close. Walker ran up big leads in Manhattan and the Bronx.
