Democrat. 240,713; Ban 7 card. Republican-Fusion. 175,902; 4 Hearst, Independent, 130.360. Gaynor plurality, 71,363. NEW YORK, Nov. i Tammany elected another Mayor of Greater New York to day but lost Its grip on city finances. William J. Gaynor, of Brooklyn, swept the five boroughs to victory as Mayor by at least 70.000 plurality, defeating- Otto T. - Bannard. Republican-Fusion, and Wil liam R. Hearst, Independent. He failed, however, to carry his ticket with him and the Republican-Fusion forces will control absolutely the Board of Estimates and Apportionment, which will disburse approximately $1,000,000,000 during; the administration. This Is more than a half defeat for Tammany, for the control of the Board of Estimate was one of the principal issues of the cam paign. Whitman to Succeed Jerome. In addition, the Republican-Fusion lets elected Charles S. Whitman District At torney of New York County. He de feated George C. Battle. Dem., by at least 13.000 plurality, and John S. Shea for Sheriff over C. D. Sullivan, Dem., by approximately 10.000. 'Reform control of the Board of Esti mates is assured by the election of the following' Republican-Fusion nominees: Controller, William D. Prendergast. defeating Robert R- Moore by approxi mately 65.000. President of the Board of Aldermen, John P. Mitchell, defeating John F. Gal vin by approximately 54,000. President of the Borough of Manhattan, George HcAntny, defeating Joseph Haag by approximately IS, 000. President of the Borough of Brooklyn. Alfred Esteers, defeating John X. Mc Cooey by approximately 14.000. In addition to the foregoing. Indications point to the election of the following Republican-Fusion nominees: President of the Borough of Bronx, Cyrus C. Miller, defeating A. M. Murphy. President of the Borough of Richmond, George Cromwell, defeating MeCormack. Safe Majority on Board. The contest for these two last-named borough presidencies was close, but latest returns favored the Republican-Fusion nominees, while in Queens (Long Island) Lawrence Geisser (Ind. and anti-Tammany) was elected. With a total of 16 votes in the Board of Estimates the Republican-Fusion forces, even counting out the election of the borough presidents of the Bronx and Staten Island, will yet have 11, or two more than the necessary majority. Hearst, once defeated In his contest for the Mayoralty against Mcdellan In 1905. went down again today with a total of less than 150.000, as against approximately 145,000 for Gaynor and 174,000 for Bannard. Gaynor Leads by 70,000. With but 38 election districts out of ! 167J missing, the total vote of the Greater City for the three candidates was as fol lows: Gaynor. 243.S70: Bannard, 173.399: Hearst. 145,549. This gives Gaynor a lead of 70.471 over Bannard and 95.3S1 over Hearst. Personal Liberty Candidate. Judge Gaynor. who now becomes Mayor of Greater New York, was elected on the strength of his personal record as a Jurist and his stand for personal liberty and a liberal Sunday. Although the Tammany candidate. he maintained throughout the campaign that no boss shall dictate to him. and one of his fa vorite remarks was that. If there was to be any swallowing between him and the Tiger he ultimately would be found on the outside. Gaynor was prominently mentioned as a Democratic Vice-Presidential possibility last year, and In ISM he declined the Democratic nomination for Governor. He has been a near-candidate for Mayor of New York for years, but, as he expressed himself to his friends, he wanted to be ure of election to be elected Mayor and then Governor, with a view of becoming President of the United States. Target of Bitter Assaults. Backed by Tammany In the campaign Just ended. Gaynor was bitterly assailed by pulpit and bar, not to mention the attacks of Hearst, who repudiated him after having agreed to support him. and (Concluded oa Pag 4.) Home of J. C.

Graft Question Dominant. While many Issues of local importance entered into the campaign, the continuance of the graft prosecutions, which has cen tered National interest on San Francisco and brought about a civic division of senti ment that has obliterated all party lines. was the dominant one. Mr. Heney went before the people frankly on this one Is sue, appealing for vindication of his course in the sensational trials growing out of the exposures of. municipal cor ruption in the so-called "boodling board" of Supervisiors. He promised from the stump that,, if elected, he would carry on the graft prosecutions with unabating vigor. Fickert Wants Results.

DOING STUNTS WITH THE FURNITURE. Lister Carries City of Tacoma. CLARK COUNTY VOTE IS HEAVY District Outside of Pierce Saves Day for Jurist. SECTIONAL STRIFE SHOWN County Bordering on Puget Sound, Nominally Heavily Republican, Gives Substantial Vote to the Democratic Candidate. TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 2. With W. W. McCredie, of Vancouver, Wash., the Re publican nominee, leading by substantial majorities throughout the southern part of the Second Congressional District, in dications at a late hour tonight are that he is elected over Ernest Lister, of Ta coma, the Democratic candidate, by 2000 to 3000 majority, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Francis W. Cushman. Latest returns from Pierce County, the home of Mr. Lister, the most populous county in the district and a Republican stronghold, indicate that the Democrats will carry it by a majority of 500. Ta coma's majority fdr Lister is 806. South Strong for McCredie.

It appears the contest was waged along sectional rather than party lines, the op position to Judge McCredie appearing In the counties bordering on Puget Sound, The Democrats charge that Judge Mc Credie. who owns both baseball clubs at Portland, would be more friendly to the Columbia River country than to the northern part of the district. A light vote was cast at today's elec tion, rain keeping the voters at home in the rural districts. The Second District Is normally Re publican by a large majority, Mr. Cush man receiving a plurality of more than 17,000 in the 1909 election. I Knifed in Pierce County. In the counties bordering on Puget Sound Judge McCredie barely held his own, but in the Southern counties, nearer his home, the gains were so material that there is little doubt but that his ma jority will exceed 3000. Over 16,000 votes were polled in Pierce County the last election, but today's vote will not reach 7000. This has caused sur prise in all quarters, and many are In clined to lay its cause to the fact that Judge McCredie made no speaking cam paign. They argue that if political ral lies had been held a full vote would have been drawn out. Will Mac Rae, secretary to Judge Mc Credie, who has made a splendid fight for the baseball magnate, was surprised at the result in Pierce County, but satisfied with conditions over the district. The vote in Pierce County comes as (Concluded on Page 5.) Court Tells Mrs. Englcnian to Go Away and Stay Marriage Offers Pouring In. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2.
