Hylan wag elected mayor of New York city yesterday, by the overwhelming plu- rality of 142,963. This was his plu- rality with 72 election districts in the city missing. It indicates a probable total plurality of almost 148,000. ‘This is the largest plurality ever glven to a mayoralty candidate In the city’s history. Van Wyck won in 1897, the first city election after con- solidation by only 80,816, Mayor Mitchel, now defeated for re-eleetion, carrled the city four years ago by 121,209. The figures and these following, are exclusive of the soldier vote, which will not be known probably for some weeks. In the general democratic sweep there was one slight rift. Merton E. | Lewls, republican, the only state offi- cer running thig year, is re-elected At- torney General. Though Devoe P. Hodson, (Dem:,) carried the city for that office about 72,000, Mr. Lewis’ up- state majority is not less than 200,- 000, leaving him a victor by at least Carried Every Borough. Judge Hylan swept every borough in the city, and he carried in with him the entire Tammany ticket. By | boroughs his pluralities were: | Manhattan ccesceow 438,157 Brooklyn . .. oo Bronx 8,816 Queens ..... 20,209 Richmond . 5,673 Mayor Mitchel's city vote was 145,- 462, against 288,426 for Hylan and 134,474 for Morris Hillquit, socialist, and compared with 355,888 votes he polled in November, 1913, when he ran alone on the Fusion ticket against Judge McCall. Willlam M. Bennett, republican, polled 67,956 votes, which, on the whole, were more than had been ex- pected in the closing days of the cam- paign. Outside of the overwhelming Tam- many sweep, the most interesting feat- ure of the election was the large in- crease produced in the Socialist vote and the Socialist prospect of a share in the government of the city, by the | addition of the ultra-pacifist element. Charles Edward Russell, when he ran for mayor on the Socialist ticket in 1913, polled 82,100 votes. The city’s vote for Allan L. Benson, So- cialist candidate for president last year, was 31,788. Hillquit’'s total vote 82,000 plurality. & will probably exceed 135,000. He carried twelve assembly districts, three of which will return socialist as- semblymen to Albany. Absolute Tammany domination of the Board of Estimate is the other outstanding feature of the election re- sult. Alfred E. Smith is elected president of the Board of Aldermen by 85,000 plurality. Charles L. Cralg wins the Controllership by a plurality of over 100,000. It was notable when the result be- came certain last night that the crowds, in Manhattan at least, seemed to regard the result as a Tammany rather than a Hylan victory. The cheers were all for Murphy. The Tam- many chieftain himself announced that the result was “a gratitying vic- { tory for the people over compaign | deception and fraud.” Later, Mr. Murphy even proclaimed it as an In- | dorsement of the National Adminis- tration! \ It is gratifylng to note” he sald, “how emphatically the Administra- | tion of Presldent Wilson has been in- dorsed by the loyal citizens of New York.” Judge Hylan himself, in his formal statement, 1ald stress upon his loyalty to the President. “The result,” he said, “is a com plete justification of the fight we have made for honesty, efficiency, economy in the public service. That | was the sole issue upon which the election was decided. “I want to make it plain to the ! world that there was no issue of Am- ericanism or loyalty so far as T am concerned. There could be none, for I am as good an American as any my country, and as firm and deter- mined in support of every act of the Government in this war.as any man.” Mayor Mitohel accepted his defeat calmly, bespeaking for the new city administration “the same co-opera- tion which all good citizens have ac- corded the present one. “there is no room for division at home. The people of this city have se- lected Judge Hylan as their represen- tative to co-ordinate the city’s ener- gles with those of the nation. Every one will wish Judge Hylan the largest measure of success in discharging the great responsibllity which now is his.” Mr. Bennett issued a statement blaming Mr. Mitchel for “turning the city over to Tammany.” Mr. Hillquit rejoiced in “the cruh- ing of Mayor Mitchel on a platform of militarism,” but took comfort in the “tremendous Socialist gains” he noted in the returns. Taking no ac- count whatever of the pacifict addi- | tion to his party’s showing, he figured | that “the Socialist vote shows a gain of 500 per cent,” and announced that {he was "highly gratified.” An extensive program has been ar- iranged for the Wennerberg Chorus { which will be at the Swedish T.uther- an church this evening.

All the agencies charged with the in- | Vestigation of the activities of spies and the guarding of property have been busily engaged in obtaining evidence for a new plan of preventing the des- truction to property, . Although the order has not been | issued, it is believed that interned | Germans and those under surveillance will be removed 100 miles from the seacoast, while a considerable num- | ber of new detention camps to con- tain German suspects may be authr- | ized. Attorney General Gregory, in| denying today that the order for the removal of interncd Germans from the coast had been issued, indicated that the genera subject was under careful consideration. Attorney General Gregory is ex- pected to take up the matter with President Wilson and Secretary Baker vdry soon. \While the utost secrecy is observed at the Department of Jus- tice as to the course that will be pursued, no attempt is made to con- ceal the fact that the patience of the government has been exhausted, and German spies and suspects will be rounded up. It is feared that unless this is done another wave of sab- otage will accur similar to that con-' ducted by direction of the German qmbassy agencies. As custodian of enemy property, A. Mitchell Palmer has called attention of the Department of Justice to the great amount of property belonging to Germans which might be destroyed to prevent it caming into the govern- ment’s possession. Mr. Palmer be- came cognizant of such a probable movement through the destruction of such property at Baltimore. Secret Service agents furnished a list of Ger- man goods, including a vast amount aof cotton in New York. Since the Baltimore fire and the frequent fires in Brooklyn. Mr. Palmer has asked that extraordinary precautions be employed by the Secret Service agents in New York ,to guard against the destruction of cotton there, valued at seeral million dollars. Officials of the government are in- sisting that the policy of permitting Germans to have their liberty as be- fore the war should be discontinued. The only steps taken to overcome Ger- man activities have been the intern- ment of German suspects in camps, while the great body of German citi- zens have been allowed to have con- siderable freedom. President Wilsan himself wished to try out this policy, but in some quarters the opinion pre- vails he is now satisfled that strong military measures must be employed. The wholesale destruction of supplies at Kansas City, Brqoklyn and Balti- more, accurring in the last few weeks, has convinced the government that leniency toward enemy aliens must end. It is estimated that there are nearly a million enemy aliens in the United States. That it will be impossible to adopt measures to carefully obsérve all these is apparent, but that many of them will be forced into detention camps or compelled to leave centres where war supplies are being manu- factured and concentrated is now cer- tain. They may be an exorus from the Coast States to Southern and Mid- dle Western States. Such a plan is practicable, for if enemy aliens were | forced to leave the coast cities and placed in camps in the South they could be guarded easily. One official suggested that it would be cheaper to build camps for enemy aliens simi- lar to the army cantanments. While plans for handling the sit- uation have been worked out by Secret Service and Department of Justice agents, announcement will not be made until after conferences with President Wilson and Secretary Baker. Action is expected soon after the next cabinet meeting. WELLES HEADS CHURCHES. Newington Man Moderator of Central Association of Congregationalists. K.
