The campaign was an exelting one and the vote, though somewhat less than in the presidential clection a year ago, was the largest ever polled in a municipal con- test in this country. Richard Croker at 8:45 o'clock tonight conceded the election of Low, but was not willing at that time to give up the county ticket. He said he was disappointed at the Brooklyn vote, as he had expected Mr. Bhepard to make a good showing there, it being his home borough In addition to the canvass for mayor pub- e interest largely centered in the nomi- Dation by the fusionists of William Travers Jerome for district attorney and Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck by the democrats for Justice of the supreme court, who were | voted for only In the territory contained in New York county, Returns received up to 11 p. m, indicate that Jerome had been elected by a com- fortable plurality and that Mayor Van Wyck had been defeated, the latter running be- hind his ticket from 15,000 to 20,000, Fusiouists Alsn Elece Fornes.

Returns from the local, borough and county tickets are incomplete. 'Complete | returns received from Staten Island indi- cate, however, that Congressman Nicholas | Muller has been defeated in his canvass for president of the borough ‘of Richmond by George Cromwell fus. In the borough ot Queens the election of Josoph Cassidy dem., @s president of the borough over Henry Doht rep., and Robert B. Lawrence Citizens' union, is conceded. In the boroughs of Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx addi- tional and possibly official returns will be Tequired to determine the results for bor- vugh president and other local officers. the State, Reports recelved from the various sec- tions of New York state show that the re- publicans will retain coutrol of the lower house of the state legislature, the number ot republican and democratic assemblymen mot differing materially from the figures of preceding years. n the various municipal contests reported from up the state the most interesting elections noted were those of Albany, Troy, Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo. The city | of Albany was carried by the republicans, | ex-Senator David B. Hill taking no active part In the canvass. The election In Troy was @ lvely one, a number of arrests for fllegal voting being made. Former United Btates Senator Murphy beaded the fight for the candidate of the democrats, while gormer Governor Black mauaged the cam- palgn for the progressive democratic-res publican ticket. Danlel E. Conway, the can- didate for mayor supported by ex-Governor Black was easily elected. In Buffalo, the entire republican city and county tickets were elected, Erastus C. Knight, the state comptroller, being chosen mayor. The res uit in Rochester was close, but Mayor Warner's friends claim the election of the republican candidate. Croker Explnins Defea At 10 o'clock tonight Richard Croker, commenting upon Mr. Shepard's defeat, #ald he could not ascribe it Lo any one is- sue. \ “The people wanted a change,” sald he, “and the organization bows to the will of the people.

Tam- many has always profited by defea’ and I Bope will do 50 this time.” Mr. Croker sald that all dissatisfied per- wons bad voted against the democratic nomi- nee and that had contributed much to the result. As to his own plans for the imme- diate future he bad mothing to say. He sald, however, that Mr. Low would have the good wishes of the democracy in his wdministration, Statement of Seth Low.

McLean, the democratic candidate for governor two vears ago and the Ohio members of the national committee; to the superior organ- fzation of the republicans and other causes, The republicans attribute the result largely to the popular desive not to disturb the prevailing prosperity, in accordance with Senator Hanna's appeal to “let well enough | alone;” to the desire to support President Roosevelt in carrying out the policy of | President McKinley and to the endorsement of Governor Nash and Senator Foraker. Chairman Dick sent a messenger to Gove ernor Nash at the state house and tele- grams (o Senator Foraker at Cincinnati and Senator Hanna at Cleveland, congratulating them on these lines ck's Boom is B The republicans are so elated over their triumph that they are talking of Congress- man Dick, who has been chairman of their state committee for eleven years, for gov- ernor two years hence, when Senator Hanna stands for re-election, and it is generally predicted that Jobn R. McLean then will be the democratic candidate for senator, It is belleved that Hon. Charles B. Baker of Cincinnati, who has been an avowed candi- date against Foraker, will receive the com- plimentary vote of the democracy for sena- tor. In Hamilton .county there was a mixed delegation in the last legislature, when John R. McLean, democrat, carried that county for governor. The delegation then had only two republicans. This year the delegation consists of thirteen republicans. Lucas county had two republican members in the last legislature, but under the new census it has four members, all republicans, The and one in Adams and Plke counties. The republicans gain one member each in Sum- mit, Muskiugum, Ross and Williams coun- diately after the polls were closed.

A cordon was formed which practically shut off Park Row from the head of Beck- man street to the bridge entrance and the streets leading to Park Row at that point were closed. The cars were stopped at Center street Spect ¥ iy One man, believed to be E. J. Mullaney of Clifton, N. J., while watching the bulle- | tine near the Staats Zeitung, was jostled off the sidewalk by the crowd and falling on the stone roadway fractured his skull He died soon afterward. The hullelin an- nouncing Mr. Low's election was the signal for impromptu triumphal parades around the distriet, in which the young man with the blaring tin horn was as usual very much in evidence. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 70,000 people were massed in Broadway be- tween Twenty-second street and Thirty- elghth street to watch for the returns. Ac- cordiug to the police and old residents of this city the crowd was the largest that had ever congregated to watch for returns of a local election During the evening several hundred Co i Jumbla students appeared in the vicinity of | Thirty-fourth street and Broadway. They | carrind Chinese lanterns on the end of canes and wore silk hats. They were jubi- lant that thefr former president had won and celebrated the event by the blowing of horns and cheers for Mr. Low. They gave no trouble to the police. . NEW JERSEY. NEWARK, N.

The plurality for McKinley for president last year was 63,000 on a total vote of 1,049,121 and for Nash two years ago with u total vote of H20, The total vote this year will not reach 500,000 and the shortage members of (he of the 110 Thes legislature happen | is considered ome of ihe features of the campaign from which the democrats were | the greater losers. | Complete returns from Franklin county | show that the democrats have elected all | four candidates for representative.

S.—Harry Davis, fus, is probably elected common pleas judge in Philadelphia, defeating Max- well Stevenson, dem.
