COLLINS CARRIES BOSTON Many Surprises at Result of Vote for License or No License MohI Stubborn Contest In Salem BOSTON, Dec. 10.-Republlcan ln Massachusetts were not quite as suc cessful in the IS city election held to day a they were In 14 held hurt week. for although they carried 11 to the Democrat four, the other three being non-partisan conteuta, three Republi can mayor were defeated, while the party suffered almost a rout In thla city. In Worcester Mayor O'ConnelL Dem ocrat, waa defeated. In Woburn, May or Feeney defeated the present mayor, and the city changed from no license to license. In Chelsea, where the Re publicans swept the city there waa a change from no license to license for the first time in 11 year.

REPUBLICANS SURPRISED. Collins' Plurality Largest in History of Boston. BOSTON. Dec. 10. Democrat com pletely overwhelmed Republicans In tho city elections today. General Patrick A. Collina being elected mayor over Mayor Thomas N. Hart by the larg est plurality In a quarter of cen tury. Democrat likewise obtained con trol of both branches cf the city gov ernment, elected their street com missioner and practiacUv ail their can didates tor school commission. As usual the city Toted strongly ln favor of license. The result of the can vass was fully a much surprise to the Democrats as to their opponent. The most sanguine Democratic prophet last night gave only 7000, yet this plural ity was nearly tripled. Two years ago Mayor Hart defeated General Col lins by 2-S1 votes, and polled something over 40,000. This year the total Re publican vote for mayor was a trifle over $3,000, the smallest given a party candidate for mayor since ISM. despite registration almost fifty per cent lar ger than then. Yet General Collin re ceived over 52.000 votes, the largest In the history of the city and he carried IS of the 25 wards. Republican lead ers were Inclined to blame the weather tonight but this does not account for tremendous gains made by the Demo crats in Republican wards. NOTED SPEAKERS TALK.
