GERMANS INDIGNANT. 8ETH LOW ELECTED Crushing Defeat of Tammany ticket in NevV York. JEROME WAS ALSO SUCCESSFUL Van Wyck, for Snpreme Conrt Jus r tiee, Was Defeated No Mate rial Change in the State' Legislature. NEW YORK. "Nov. . Seth Low, ex President of Columbia University, and four years ago the Citizens' Union candi date' for the firs! Mayor of Greater New York, was elected today the second Mayor of Greater New York by a plurality rang ing anywhere from 30,000 to 4o,000, defeat ing Edward M. Shepard, of Brooklyn, the Democratic nominee. The campaign was an exciting one, and the Vote, though somewhat less than in the Presidential election a year ago, was the largest ever polled in a municipal contest In this coun try. In addition to the canvass for Mayor, public Interest largely centered in the nomination by the Fuslonists of William Travers Jerome for District Attorney, and Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck, by the Dem ocrats, 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 has been elected by a comfort-, able majority and that Mayor Van "Wyck has been defeated, the latter running be hind his ticket from 15,000 to 20,000. Returns also indicate the complete tri umph here of the Greater New York Fusion ticket, Charles Vincent Fornes, the nominee of the Citizens' Union and the Republicans for President of the Board of Aldermen, defeating George M. Van hocsen, the Democratic nominee. E. M. Grout, for the past four years Democratic President of the Borough of Brooklyn, now the Fusionist nominee for Controller, has also defeated W, W. Ladd, Jr., Dem ocrat. Returns from the local, borough and county tickets are incomplete. Complete returns received from Staten Island, how ever, show that Congressman Nicholas Muller has been defeated In his canvass for president of the Borough of Richmond by George Cromwell, Fusionist. In the Borough of Queens the election of Joseph Cassldy, Democrat, as President of the Borough, over Henry Doyt, Republican, and Robert'B. Lawrence, Citizens' Union, Is conceded. In the Boroughs of Brook lyn, Manhattan and the Bronx, additional and possibly official returns will be re quired to determine the results for bor ough president and other local officers. Reports received from the various sec-, tlons of New York State show that the Republicans will retain control of the lower house of the State Legislature, the number of Republican and Democratic Assomolymcn dot differing materially X om the figures of preceding years. In the various municipal contests re ported from dp the state, the most inter esting elections noted were thosfc of Al bany, Troy, Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo. The City of Aloany was carried by the Republicans, ex-Senator David B Hill taking no active part In the local canvass. The election In Troy was a lively one, a number of arrests for illegal voting be ing made. Ex-United States Senator Mur phy headed the fight for the candidates of the Democrats, while ex-Governor Black managed the campaign for the Pro gressive Democratic-Republican ticket. Daniel E. Conway, the candidate 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 Controller, being chosen Mayor. The result In Rochester was close, but Major Warner's friends claim the elect'on. -of the Republican candidate. Republicans and Democrats alike should loyally hold up the hands of those whom the people have chosen in all good work on their part "Of course, I regret the-result, but trust that'the munificent purposes which those who nominated me and 1 have had In mind may be realized, eVen If In a man ner different from that which we should have preferred. I thoroughly appreciate the .efficient work done against, Adverse conditions by the Democratic organiza tions to the five boroughs. I believe that the faith of the New York Democracy, notwithstandlng'thls temporary defeat, is definitely set for a future of political re form which will at no distant day bring to the p"arty merited honor and success." f .

As to the causes of the de'feat of the Democratic ticket, Mr Croker said he was Inclined to as cribe it to the large silent vote and the fact that the people sometimes felt that they, wanted a change.

Quite a number of persons were assembled at the station, and the President lifted his hat several times In response to their salutations An extra detail of police and a large force of secret service officers were on hand to see that no harm befell the Chief Executive. The President's trip from New York to Washington was with out special incident. The party remained In the car and avoided moving about to any extent At Jersey City the President shook hands with a number of friends while waiting for the train to leave.

About 11 o'clock tonight Seth Low gave out a formal state. ment. in which he said: "The outcome of this election Is a splen did vindication of universal suffrage. From all parts of the city have come, the votes that hae robuked the Tammany orgy of the last four years. All the pa tronage.of the city and limitless money have not availed against the aroused In dignation of the people, and it Is safe. to say that absentee government and govern ment for private gain will not be seen again in New York City for many a day. This is no man's triumph, but it Is the peop'e's victory. The agencies that hae brought It about are many. Those who labored so long and so patiently to bring about the successful fusions of many ele ments, and those who have supported the fusion so loyally are all entitled to the greatest credit. For myself, I ask for the generous and constant support of the community in the great task to which it has summoned me." Mr. Low Is In receipt of' hundreds of telegrams from prominent men, not only In the city, but also from different parts of the state and country, among, them be ing congratulations fr,om President Roose velt and Senator Foraker, of Ohio, Edward M. Shepard made public ac knowledgment of his defeat tonight at police headquarters, Brooklyn. He sent a telegram of congratulation to Mr. Low, and dictated a statement to the reporters, In which" he expressed Ms hope that the Incoming administration would be a suc cessful one. His telegram read: "With all sincerity I wish you the ut most success in the great office to which the people of Greater New York have called you." Mr. 'Shepard then dictated this state ment: "I sincerely wish Mr. Low a thoroughly successful administration. The people have Indicated thelr decided preference. ,Not only Is It the duty of every good citi zen Hq cheerfully acquiesce.

Republicans "Will Control the Tnt lng Machinery of the City. NEW YORK, Nov, 6, 1 A. M. With the election of Seth Low as Ma or, Charles V. Fornes as President of the Board of Al dermen and Edward M. Grout as Con troller, the Xudonlst triumph In Greater New York Appears nearly complete. Many fusion leaders expressed pre-election fears that, even though Seth Low might be elected, he would find himself In the posi tion of a President" of the United States confronted by a hostile Congress, since, under the newly-adopted city charter, the presidents of the boroughs are given greatly Increased powers. The latest re turns, however, lndlcite that the fuslon. Ists have elected Jacob B. Cantor presi dent of the Borough of Manhattan, Ed- f ward Swanstrom president of the Borough of Brooklyn! and George Cromwell presi dent of the Borough of Richmond. In the Bronx; Louis F. Haffen, Democrat, na defeated James L. Wells, fusionist, ior borough president. -Joseph Cassldy was elected In Queens, owing to a split be tween the Republicans and the Citizens Union party. These results, unless modified by the official figures, will give the fuslonlsts complete control of the taxing machinery of the city, as well as of the varolus boards concerned In the appropriation and distribution of public funds. Perhaps the greatest surprise of the election, next to the defeat In Staten Island of Congressman Nicholas Muller, who was a candidate for borough presi dent In the Borough of Richmond, Is tho apparent triumph of the county ticket In the old City and County of New York. For Justice of the Supreme Court. Morgan J. O'Brien, Samuel Greenbaum, John Proctor Clarke and James A. Blanchard, the fusionist candidates, were all elected, defeating Robert A. Van Wyck, Charles W. Dayton and Charles H. Knox. Justice O'Brien was nominated upon both tickets. Mayor Van Wyck ran heavily behind his associates .on the judicial -and city ticket. The election of William Travcra Jerome, Fus, oyer Henry W. Unger, Dem, Is ad mitted by all parties. The office of Sheriff on the county ticket i Concluded on Second Page.)

"Members of the offending power on the court of arbitration shall be erased therefrom, and If the majority of tha na tions signing the treaty approve, a note of censure may be addressed Jto the said power.

Probably a Preliminary Movecto- tho Occupation of Smyrna Tnrltey'a Reply to Last Note Not Received. PARIS, Nov. 5. Admiral Calllard has occupied the three principal ports of the Island of Mltjlene. Following Is tho dis patch received from Admiral Calllard: "Mityiene, Nov. 5, 11:40 A. M. Armored division at Mityiene." The dispatch does not mention any in cident attending the landing, but It seems certain that tho French commander car ried out his Instructions, which were to occupy three port3 of the island and to seize the customs. One cruiser and tbreo torpedo-catchers became separated from tho squadron, owing to the speed of tha latter. The dispatch-boat Mouette, which had Joined the squadron, wag sent to meet them and to accompany them to Mityiene. Admiral Calllard's squadron arrived off the Island of Syra (Grecian Archipelago) yesterday, and detached a dispatch-boat, which entered the port of Syra and re ceived from the telegraph station a batch of dispatches containing definite Instruc tions from the French Government re garding carrying out the sealed orders which were handed to the Admiral previ ous to his leaving Toulon. These dis patches directed Admiral Calllard to pro ceed to thd Island of Mltjlene, wTiere ho will seize the customs of MidllH and an other port. The foreign office here has not yet re ceived the Sultan's reply to the note pre sented by M. Baptiste. counsellor of tho French Legation at Constantinople, fol lowing the Instructions of M. Delcasse, the Foreign Minister. undeT date of No vember 3. The correspondent here of tho Associated Press is enabled to make tho following statement: "When the French Government decided to send a French squadron to Turkey, it debated whether to seize the customs at Salonica, Beirut or Smyrna, as It was re llzed that the receipts of one of these three big ports would be required to pro duce a sufficient sum to pay off the French claims without a long occupation, which was considered Inadvisable. The choice of M. Dolcastse fell on Smyrna, which offers equal advantages to the oth er ports, without having their political drawbacks. "Saturday, however, came the dispatch from M. Baptiste, announcing the Issuing of the Sultan's lrade accepting the Loran do claim m its entirety, as France de manded. This dispatch slightly modified the aspect of the situation. Inasmuch as M. Dekusse came to the cn"Jushn that the Sultan would now settle tno money claims and would, within a fi'W days, produce the guarantees which France demanded for their nayment. The necessity for seizing big cu'nms, there fore, became less pressing, altboueh tho necessity for occupying Turkish territory, in order to exercise pressure and com pel the Sultan to concede the demands respecting Turkej's disregard of French treaty rights, still remained urgent. Tho government, therefore, decided that Ad miral Calllard should occupy a couple of ports on the Island of Mityiene. which 13 conveniently close to Smyrnn. So, should the government's Impression that the SuL tan will satisfactorily settle the monetary question without delay prove unjustified and the customs receipts at Mityiene prove Insufficient to meet the French claims, Smyrna can jet bo occupied. "In the meant me the occupation of the, ports on the Island of Mityiene is more convenient from- a military point of view, as the French cannot be easily disturbed on that Island, wnerens Smyrna, being on the mainland. Its occupation might have more serious developments than de sired. The French Government, however, trusts that the whole difficulty will very shortly be arranged to Its satisfaction, and hopes that the treaty stipulations will be carried out by the Issue of trades, such as giving certain French schools permis sion to open, which, thus far, has been withheld, and also by giving official rec ognition, throughout the Turkish Empire, to diplomas Issued by the French medical faculty of Beirut, eta" Telegrams from Toulon report tho ut most activity In tho preparations to place a squadron in readiness for any eventual ity.

Afterward the President took a rap, ld drive to his home In Sagamore Hill, Little Neck Cove. Those who accompa nied the President on the trip to Oyster Bay were his cousin, William E.
