SDAY, NOVEMBER 4 190 -1 ) Surging, Struggli ,Jammed together that breathing was dif- ficult. As each succeeding bulletin was thrown on the screen shouts of joy and cheers went up from the throats of those of the open-air audience to whose favarite ta;’ldldlle the returns gave the best re- sults. In the diépatch and accuracy with which the bulletins were given to the crowd The Call led the other papers right through the evening. From the time the first bulletin was cast upon the screen until the last returns were in The Call's rapid bulletin service gave to the assemblage the first and most accurate returns from the polls. It was just 10:45 when the information that Schmitz had been victorious was her- alded forth to the waiting mass by The Call bulletins, full three minutes ahead of any of the other pape When the Mayor's plcture was placed before the stereopticon a second later the crowd gave vent to a mighty cheer, and when the green fire from the dome of the mammoth building glared-forth into the fog of the night the air was rent with shouts from the waiting crowd below. The Call's bulletin service was perfect. Trained men were kept on dury at the various places where the returns came in and they telephoned them to the main office of the paper. As quick as the mes- sages were received they were placed on the slides and hurried to the stereopticon and given to the crowd below. McClellan’s Plur ‘ Thous | EW YORK, Nov. 3.—After a re- markable campaign, in which was united agalnst him nearly | all of the newspapers and prac- | tically every minister of relig- | fon in this city, George B. McClellan, son | ° third Mayor of Greater New York over | Beth Low, Fusionist, the present Mayor, by a plurality of about 70,000. Edward M. Grout was elected Comp- troller and Charles V. Fornes president of the Board of Aldermen. These two men 1 were originally on the Fusion ticket and | were indorsed by Tammany, whereupon I the Fusionists took their names from the Low ballots and nominated other candl- dates. It was the nomination of Grout and Forngs by Tammany that caused McLaugh, the veteran leader of the Kings County Democracy, .to bolt and | declare that he would not support men |y who were not Democrats. In spite of | ¢ McLaughlin’s defection, McClellan, Grout and Fornes carried Kings County. The management of their campalgn wss tak- en over by State Senator Patrick McCar- ren when McLaughlin refused to aid. A surprise was the low vots for Willlam Devery, former Commissioner of Police, who ran on the independent ticket, which was given practically no support. | TAMMANY’S BIG GAIN. To-day's result shows a tremendous changs of public sentiment since Mayor Low's electlon two years ago, when he won by 31,632. At that time he carried all | the boroughs but Queens, his plurality in Manhattan and the Bronx being 6 | in Brooklyn, 2 and in Richmond 736 | To-day McClellan carries Manhattan ‘ and the Bronx by about 58,000, a galn of 23,000; Brooklyn by 6000, a gain of 31,000, | and Queens by about 5000, a gain of more than 4000. This means a total net gain | for McClellan of about 103,000, as com- pared with Shepard’s vote of two years | ago. Low carried only one borough—Rich- | mond—by about 200 votes. | The result was known early and at 8:15 o'clock Mayor Low sent a telegram of congratulation to McClellan. NEW MAYOR’'S STATEMENT McClellan, who is at present a member of Congr made the following state- ment: | “I am deeply grateful to my fellow cfii- | zens for their confidence in me.

The buildings on the north side of the street were fllled with spectators, every window was black with anxious people and the roofs were covered. The street cars, driving their way slow- 1y through the mass, were buried to the middle with this vast collection of hu- manity.

At 12 o'clock there were still as many in front of The Call bulletins as ever. Late into the night they stayed, craning their necks and eagerly reading each bulletin, and did not disperse until the last bulletin was flashed upon the screen. Then, with a mighty shout, the followers of the last and next Mayor started up the street in a mad exhiliaration of joy. ——— MADISON, Wis., Nov. 3.—Charles Sey- mour, for many years United States Con- sul at Canton, China, is dead at Burling- ton, Vt., aged 83 years.
