Neiw. York city has elected the demo- cratic _candidate, Judge William J. Gayror, to the office of mayor, while in Philadelphia the efforts of the reform- ers to break the republican organiza- tion have falled. In New Jersey the republicans held their own everywhere. Tom L. Johnson. democrat, has been defeated as mayor of Cleveland, O. The latest returns from San Fran- clsco indicate that Francis J. Heney, democrat, has been defeated for dis- trict attorney. In Maryland the bparamount issue was the so-called disfranchising emendment, designed to eliminate the megro as a political factor. The re- turns in this state came in slowly and the result is still uncertain. The in- dications are, however, that the amendment has been defeated. In Indlana the republicans scored several important victories, particular- 1y in Indianapolis, where Samuel Lewis Shank, republican, was elected mayor and the entire republican ticket re- ( turned. The republicans carried Massachu- setts by the narrowest margin in the history of the Bay State for nearly a quarter of a century. It i apparent that Governor Pothier, republican, has been re-elected over Olney Arnold, democrat, in Rhode Isl- and, ‘and that the combylexion of the mext legislature will remain republi- can. The democratic victory in Virginia brings Judge Mann to the office of gov- ernor. Tammany elected aother mayor of Greater New York in tie person of Judge Gaynor, democrat, but the or- ganization lost its grip on the city finances. The republican-fusion forces will contro] absolutely the board of estimate and appertionment. In ad- dition the republican-fusionists elect- ed Charlées S. Whitman district attor- ney, of New York county and practi- cally all their candidates on the city &nd county tickets. In Pennsylvania the chief interest centered in the battle waged in Phila- ~delphia, where = the reform element en ‘ored in vain to' break the power of the local republican organization. Samuel P, Rotan was re-elected dis- trict attorney on the republican; tick- et by a surprisingly’ large mgjority. In the state ticket, the republicans elected the state treasurer, the audi- tor general and a judge of the su- preme court. In Cleveland, Tom L. Johnson, dem- acrat, for four terms mayor of the city, was defeated for a fifth term by Herman C. Baehr. In conceding his defeat Mr. Johnson, who advocated a &ystem of equal taxatien, -announced that he would be candidate for mayor two years hence. New Jersey elected ieight members of the state senate and a full house of sixty members of the assembly. The republicans will again control both houses. ) _ New' York state -clected an assem- Bly that will show. a republican ma- Jority of about 38. ARRESTS FOR VIOLATION OF THE ELECTION LAW General. Absence of Disorder—Un- wieldy Ballots Rapidly Cast. New York, Nov. 2—The features of today's election were the general ab- ence of diserder and the rapidity ‘with which ti vote was cast, not- tanding the unwieldy and com- plicated ballots. Alth mamy arrests were made for violation of the election law, the greater part of these were found to be due to clerical errors or misunder- standings. The professional repeater and the, guerilla we chiefly notable by their absence. for this sat- isfactory state of affairs was given largely Yo the new signature law, put into for the first time in a New: municipal election. Under this. law, every voter, after receiving his ballot, is ‘com - to write his neme- and -has lt<mod with the ;?nn_ ‘which he made at the time registration, A Well-Wateched Election. a New York election was well watched, it wi today. Every polling place’ had its full quota of Mfin including nearly 2,000 col- lege students from Columbia, Yale, Princeton, and other nearby* institu- tions, who were distributed throughout the greater city. . 10,000 Police on Duty. . The entire pofice; force of 10,100 men was on duty before daylight, the majority of them at the polling places, with squads of “plain clothes” scouts and detectives ready for any emer- .

Mr. Hearst voted in an uptown garage shortly after noon, and Justice Gaynor appeared at a little Brooklyn tailor shop, where he cast his ballot, only an hour before the time assigned for the polls to close. Both were pret- ty thoroughly photographed while they were preparing to vote. The Betting, The betting odds which had made Justice Gaynor a 1 to 2 favorite last night advanced still more in his favor during the day. By the time the polls closed Gaynor money went begging at 1 to 3. There was far less confidence among the bettors, however, as to the remainder of the democratic ticket, and the Gaynor men demanded slight odds on the entire city ticket. With Gay- nor quoted at 1 to 3, Bannard money asked 4 to 1 and Hearst dropped to § to 1. Ballots Marked Before Being Handed to Voter Herbert Parsons, the republican county chairman, said tonight that the election had been the hardest fought municipal contest ever held in New York. “It is true that this has been a quiet election” he said, “but there has been much orookedness and I think we shall hear more of this later. Our watchers reported all day long that ballots had been found already marked with a cross in the demoeratic column before being handed to the voter. There were other peculiar things going on, t00, how generally I cannot say at this time."” With a total of sixteen votes in the board of estimate, the republican- fusion forces, even counting out the election of the borough presidents of the Bronx and Staten Island, will'yet have eleven votes, two more than the necessary majority. The Vote for Mayor. With only twenty-one election dis- tricts missing, the vote for mayor was as follows: Gaynor, democrat, 246,715. Bannard, republican-fusion, 175,082, Hearst, independent, 150,560. Gaynors' plurality, 71,653. First Returns Forecasted the Result. From almost the moment the returns began to come in it was apparent that Gaynor was elected and as early as § o'clock the republicans conceded his election. In Staten Island only did Bannard poll a vote anywhere near the democratic candidate. There Gaynor's plurality was only 2,043. In Long Island alone Hearst ran second. The race for the district attorney- ship appeared to be close at first, but as returns came in it was apparent that Whitman was leading Battle by approximately 25,000. Tammany was also defeated in the struggle for supreme court justices in New York county with the election of Nathan Bijur, Bdward J. Gavegan and Alfred R, Page, all republican-fusion candidates, by safe majorities. Whitman, the New District Attorney, Born in Norwich. Charles S, Whitman, the new district attorney, and the supreme court vic- tory places the reform element in con- trol of important factors of the judi- clal machinery of the city and county. Mr. Whitman was best known as the orlginator of the night municipal court and was born in Norwich, Conn. 41 years ago, and later graduated from Amherst colloge and the New York University Law school. In 1901 he gave up a modest private practice to become assistant corporation counsel and legal advisor to Mayor Seth Low, who later appointed him a police mag- istrate. He became president of the city magistrates, but resigned when appointed to the court of general ses- sions by Governor Hughes. In 1907 he was defeated for re-election. TAMMANY LEADER REJOICES In the Magnificent Triumph Scored by Gaynor. New York, Nov. 2—Charies F. Mur- phy, leader of Tammany Hall, issued the ‘following statement tonight: “I rejoice in common with all good citizens in the magnlficent triumph of the democratic candidate for mayor, Judge Gaynor. The importance of his election to the people of New York cannot now be fully measured. It must be particularly gratitying to the mayor-elect that his personal charac- ter and public record have successfully withstood the most vindictive assaults ever made upon 4 polifical candidate in all my experiencs. “I of course regret that any of the candidates on the ticket should be de- feated. The responsibility for their defeat is in no wise to be attributed to any unfitness or unworthiness on their part. The people will understand with- out suggestion from me precisely what Influénces coahinsd %8 bring about the result.” GAYNOR CONGRATULATED. Telegram From Defeated Republioan Candidate Bannard. New York, Nov. 2—Former Judge Gaynor, now the mayor-elect, did not take the trouble to receive the returns showing his victory. After leaving his Brooklyn house this afternoon to vote he did not come back until 815 p m. when His election wa# conceded. “How do you do, Mr. Mayor?" was the greeting given him as he stepped into his drawing rootn. Mr. Gaynor ‘stroked his gloves de- lberately and asked without a change of exvression, “Am 1 elected, then?” On assurance that he was elected be- yond doubt, Justice ~Gaynor said thoughttully: You will have to excuse me, while I eat a littie supper, I'ce just come back from a twelve-mile walk.” Later the followiug written state- ment was given out by the new ma or. Tt was all he had to say on his election: 2 ““I have nothing to say, except tha I present my compliments to news paper proprietors and editors.” Tt will ne recalled in connection with this statement that only three newspapers, .one in Brooklyn and two in_New York, ynor. ‘tonight .

I regret it 1dld not gratify my friends by ‘getting more opportu expressing my than for the hard work done by my willing frignds and organization. | congratulate Judge Gaynor upon *his large vote.” HEARST SATISFIED By the Election of an Anti-Tammany / Board of Estimate. New York, Nov. 2—Willlam Ran- )ol»n ‘Hearst, who received the returns at his home, said: “If an anti-Tammaney, board of es- timate has been elected, I consider my efforts well rewarded. 1 went into the campaign to accomplish exactly that, as T stated in my letter of accepts “I hope that Judge Gaynor will make a_satisfactory ‘mayor, and 1 am sure of one thing, at least, that he will make a_better mayor surrounded by an hon— est and independent board of estimate than he could. have made surrounded by the Tammany gang, from which we have the good fortune to be deliver- ed. GOV. DRAPER RE-ELECTED. ~ His Plurality of 60,000 Last Year Cut to 8,000 Yesterday. Boston, Nov. 2—The republicans carried Massachusetts in a state elec- tion_today by the narrowest ma-gin in the history of the Bay State for nearly a quarter of a century. The entire party ticket was re-elected, but Gov- ernor Draper’s plurality of 60,000 last year was cut to 8,000 today, while that of Lieutenant Governor Frothingham, which was 96,000 in 1908, was reduced to 7,000 votes. Returns from 1,040 out of 1,060 elec— tion districts in the state, and com- prising all the 321 towns and practical- 1y all of the cities give Draper, repub- lican, 185,160; Vahey, democrat, 17 382. 'The missing twenty precincts last vear showed democratic tenden- cies. The following state ticket was elect- ed: Governor—Eben S. Draper of Hope— dale 3 Lieutenant governor—Louis A. Froth- ingham of Boston. Secretary of state—William M. Olin of Boston. ‘Treasurer and receiver general—El- mer A. Stevens of Somerville, Auditor—Henry E. Turner of Mal- den.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2.—Philadelphia today re-elected Samuel P. Rotan, dis- trict attorney, on the. republican tick- et, by a surprisingh- large. majorit His opponent was D. Clarence Gi boney, long a leader of the reform element and well known by reason of his connection with the law and-order soclety which has been active in the suppression of vice in this city. Three years ago the same candidates opposed each other, and Rotan was then vic- torious by 11,494 votes. a very low ma- jority in" this rock-ribbed republican stronghold. - Today Rotan’s majority was 45,000, Because of the unusually large bal- lot and the heavy vote cast, the big receptacles provided were soon filled to overflowing, and wherever possible extra ballot boxes were furnished, but the supply ran_out early in the day and the election officers were author- ized to use packing boxes, barrels and other substitutes for real ballot boxes. Pennsylvania' vote today tem pro- posed amendments to the constitution abolishing spring elections, changing the tenureé of office of certain state of- ficials and providing for the appoint- ment of election officers by the courts instead of electing them by the people as at present. Returns of the vote on the amendments are meagre, but they probably all carried. Today's republican majority in the state will exceed 100,000. | BRIDGEPORT CITY ELECTION. | DEMOCRAT ELECTED MAYOR. | Entire Democratic Ticket Elscted with Exception of Three Aldermen. 1 E 2.—City Clerk Ed- ward T.

Member of Powerful Feudal Family Shot Dead in Breathitt County. Jackson, Ky., Nov. 32.—Predictions made on the streets early today that “only a man or two” would be killed during. the voting in Breathitt county were justified at noon in the Spring Fork precinct and in a dramatic man- ner.

Birmingham, Ala, Noy. 2.—Presi-| dent Taft’s campaign for “winning the south to closer union with the states of the morth,” was in full swing when the chief executive reached Birming- ham “tonight. At various towns in ississippi, culminating at Columbus, old home of Secretary of War Dickinson, the president called forth cheers from the people by his declara- tions of friendship for the’south and by the repeated statement that his visit was without political signifi- cance. Friendship for the South. “It is not that we want to make u - republican: said the president, r that we want to become demo- crats. We all have our views and our tastes in that regard. It is that you shall come to believe that'you arc as near to the heart of the central gov- ernment as now administered as any other people in the union.” 800 Girls at Barbecue. In addition to declaring his good will to the people of the south he had a few words to say with reference to marriage and woman's suffrage when he was surrounded on the campus of the Mississippi Girls' Industrial insti- tute and college by 800 girls, who aft- erwards helped to serve the president with the first barbecue of the tour. - Suffrage for Women. “I wish that every woman in the world was so situatéd,” the president sald, “that she need not think it nec- essary for her to marry if she did not want to. “I am-mot a rabid suffragist. The truth is, I am not in favor of suf- frage for women until I can be con- vinced that all the women desire it and when they desire it, I am in fa- vor of giving it to them, and when they desire it they will get it, too. But 1 do believe that one of the advan- tages in giving them that kind of in- fluence will be more certainly to open avenues of self-support to them than has heretofore been done. I shall be glad that I shall not have any property to leave to my boys, of whom I have two, but only a good character and a good education, but for my daugh- ter I am going to scrape together as much as I can give her and as good an education as I can, so that she shall take in the lesson which I first sought to announce as the text of my dis- course: “That she shall marry only when she chooses to marry, and not be- cause of eircumstances.” Military Ceremonies at West Over Body of Football Victim. West Point, N. Y., Nov. 2—In a grave on the edge of the sioping hill- side of the West Point cemetery, well back from the cliff-bound edge, the body of Eugene A. Byrne, the cadet who was fatally injured in last Sat- urday’s football game with Harvard, was buried with military ceremonies. ‘Massed about the graye were his com- rades, compelled by military discipline 40 restrain outward manifestation of their sorrow; the officers of the acad- emy and army post, and scores of friends. Nearest the coffin stood the parents of the dead vouth. As the last words of the service were spoken three volleys were fired from the rifles of the saluting platoon, the trumpeters sounded “taps” and the ceremony was ended. There were many people from out- side the reservation at the funeral cer- emonles, and since yesterday floral tributes’in profusion had been coming in, the army, the navy, high officers in civil life and many educational insti- tutions being represented among the donors. N The religious services were held in the Catholic chapel. When the hour arrived the cadet battalion, with slow steps, to muffled drums, marched from their barracks past the parade ground and the fleld to the chapel, which stands on the little knoll to the north of the rock jytting out into the river which has given West Point its name. The classmen of the dead cadet took up their assigned places in the chapel, next to the Byrneg, parents of the youth, Mr. and MrshJohn A. Byrne of Buffalo, and other members of the tamily ‘party. Aside from a few of the members of deiegations from Har- vard university, from the Harvard club of New York, and the academic board and officers of the academy and army post, the diminutive chapel would ac- commodate none. The ritual of the Roman Catholic church was recited over the body of the young cadet, the Right Rev. Mon- signor C. G. O'Keefe officiating. Then came the march to the burial place.
