NEW YORK RESULT - 1S SMITH-VIGTORY Hylan Would Have Won With- out Governor’s Opposi- qtio'n, Is View. B BY ROBERT T. SMALL. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, September 16. Smith still relgns supreme. Any doubt as to where he stands with the Democracy of Greater New York— which is the Democracy of the Empire State—has been swept away. The governor made good his promise to put Hylan and Hearst “in the ashcan.” It has been made plain that a third party ticket, headed by Hylan and financed ‘by Hearst, will have no backing at all withiy the Democratic organization. The thost loyal of the Hylan leaders have announced thelr intention of staying ‘regular” and getting behind Senator “Jimmy” Walker, the nominee, whom Hylan tried to belittle as “a Broadway butterfly.” There is but a single note in the city today. It arises alike from Democratic and Republican sources. It is a pean of praise to Gov. Smith for his work in the campaign. With- out his opposition it is frankly ad- mitted that Maylor Hylan would have been renominated and re-elected. Re- publicans in their joy over ridding the city of “Hylanism" are intimating only in a roundabout way that they are hoping to defeat the new Tammany candidate at the polls in November with their candidate, Frank. D. Water- man. pen manufacturer, who says he woulid give the city its first “business administration” in half a score of years. G. 0. P. Victory Unlikely. It may be possible that the Republi cans can win the election in Novem ber, but it Is not probable, even If the defeated Hylan and Hearst combina- tion do their worst to upset the Tammany apple-cart. Among the enrolled voters of the city the Democrats outnumber the Republicans by something more than 270,000. Of course, this does not mean quite as much as appears on the surface. An “enrolled” voter is one who on registration day ex- presses his party preference in order that he may vote in the party pri- maries. Enrollment is not compul- sory and is avolded by tens of thou- sands of voters. The Democrats of the city are greater organization men and women and. therefore, are more consistent in their enrollment. How- ever, there can be no doubt of the overwhelming Democratic sentiment of the big city and it will take much more of an upheaval than appears on the horizon today to defeat the Tammany-Smith candidates at the coming; election Dirtiest Campaign on Record. It is qupite remarkable the manner in which the city has accepted the primary verdict after what is gen- erally conceded to have been the dirtiest campaign New York ever has known. There was no red fire of the old Tammany days of victory, no “big chiefs” dancing about the prostrate victims, no ‘signing of a hot time in the old town tonight. Tam- many took the verdict for granted. The victory exceeded expectations in the completeness of the sweep and naturally toddy there 1s a smile on the face of the Tammany Tiger, for Hylan is inside. He defled the king of the political jungle and all his works. The king took sweet revenge. But it is not Tammany that inter- ests the people of the city and the State. It is Al Smith. He staked his all in this campalgn. He knew that it meant belng the target for an unprecedented slinging of mud, but he took his coat off. waded in, and at times sent back as good as Jhe was given. The governor told his friends it was only the old story over again of fighting the devil with fire. Clears Way for Senate Race. But now the challenge of Smith's authority in the Democratic party has been met and defeated. The way is clear for Al to run for the Senate nd he will take up the inst Senator James Wads- worth. This fight is expected by the governor's friends to open the way | for his nomination for the presidency 1928. This is_looking rather far 1. but the Smith foilowers, al- vs enthusiastic, are on the top of ve today. They feel the gov the greatest victory -l career. | proved himself | stronger than Tammany. Tammany JAMES J. WALKER. HYLAN, DEFEATED BY 100,000, MAY GO ON THIRD TICKET (Continued from First Page) to back Hylan wherever the latter’s Judgment might lead him. The last Democratic convention | figured in the campaign through the | statement of Smith that Hylan co! | ferred there with “the representative { of the Klan” and through the answer of Hearst that Smith, in conference with McAdoo, fixed up the nomination of Davis. When the returns were in Gov. Smith said he was “tickled to death.” The victory, he declared, had given comfort and courage to the Demo- cratic party. “The Hearst-Hylan campaign of slander and abuse,” the governor said, “has been answered by the enrolled members of the party. 1 am going around with my head up in the air, my chest out and with a light crown on my head.” Forecast Final Victory. George W. Olvany, leader of Tam- many Hall, interpreted the victory as the forerunner of a greater success in November. *“The opposition did not succeed in making a single breach in our breastworks,” he said. “Tammany stood up and gave the city and the Nation another demonstration of its unsurpassed solidarity and strength.” Though hard fought, the primary will go down in history as a betless election. There was less actual cash riding on the outcome than is usually staked on a week-day base ball game. The closing odds in favor of Walker were 5 to 1. Even money is being placed that Hylan will run as an inde- pendent. Less than half a dozen per- sons were arrested for illegal voting, and several of these were released. Po. lice reported no disorders worthy of note. Gov. Smith, however, protested to Police Commissioner Enright against intimidation of voters by po- lice. He said he was assured that the practice would be stopped. Tammany House Through —a_Star Classified Ad.

He conducted his whole campaign against waste and inefficlency of the Hylan administration for which he argued Tammany was jointly re- sponsible, and he promised that as a business man he would give the city a business government. The Hearst papers alone of the large dailles supported Hylan, as was the case in his previous successful campaligns. The conflicting views about defeat of the man who was elected twice with Tammany aid by tremendous ma- Jorities, and who had no dissensions with Tammany on the question of patronage, are reflected by such ex- cerpts from newspaper storles: Pro-Hylan—The elation of the trac- tion-owned press, the increased fare advocates and the underworld deni- 2ens reached its height. Anti-Hylan—Myth of incomparable vote-getting, wholly unworthy to be mayor, blown up: a dirty (umml'gn. but necessary to the welfare of New York. Hylan Defended Rule. The mayor defended his adminis- tration from criticlsm that it was incompetent aad failed to relieve sub- way congestion. He accused W ‘alker and Gov. Smith of conspiracy to raise car fares from 5 cents, an issue which helped him in his campaign_four years ago. He accused Gov. Sm!lh of hobnobbing with corporations. The Hearst papers denounced the gov- ernor for what they regareded as in jection of religion into a campaign against a fellow Catholic. The mayor sald Walker stood for wide-open town.

Y., September 16 (/). —The machinery of party organiza- tion appears to have functioned well in yesterday's Erlmnry election for nomination to the assembly. Although returns from 6 Demo- cratic contests in' New York City, were lacking this forenoon, tabula- tions for the remaining 14 contested districts throughout the State show- ed that only one candidate was suc- cessful against the choice of the party organization. This sole excep- tion was Yates County, where Harry R. Brate, backed by the Republican county committee, was defeated by Edwin C. Nutt. Mark T. Lambert and Frank 8. Hall, representing the first and sec- ond Niagara districts, respectively, were renominated. Both assembly- men were opposed by alleged Ku Klux Klan candidates and until Sat- urday night it was supposed that the Klan was behind the political activity of the opposition. Klan officlals, however, ‘ suspended three of their members, Including Frank W.

By tho Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, September 16.— Republican voters of Pennsylvania vesterday nominated Jesse E. B. Cu; ningham of Harrisburg as their cand! date for judge of the Superior Court, the only ‘State-wide office to be filled at the November election. His Demo- cratic opponent will be Willlam A. McGuire of Cambria County, who had no opposltion for the nomination. Mr. Cunningham, a former deputy attor- ney general, defeated State Senator Albert Dutton MacDade, Delaware County, and James J. Regan, Jr., Philadelphia. Available returns indi- cated that his plurality would be large. Outside of the Buperior Court con- test interest in the primary was chiefly local. Tnterest in Philadelphia centered largely in the contest for a Municipal Court judgeship. Early indi- cations pointed fo the nomination of Leopold C. Glass over Judge Ben: min H. Renshaw, Democrat, who was appointed to the court to fill a va- cancy. Glass had the support of the regular Republican organization, while Renshaw waF backed by an {ndepen- dent movement. United States Ben- ator Pepper announced last week that he would support Renshaw on the principls that an efficlent sitting judge should not be opposed. ‘CLAFLIN SAYS “CLAFLIN-SPEX TO MAKE YOU SEE” CLAFLIN OPTICAL CO. 922 14th 8t 2 SUNDAY EXCURSION NEW YORK Sunday, September 20 Special Through Train Direct to Penna.
