In the Sixth Assembly district, Wil liam Sulzer, recently deposed as Gov ernor, was elected on the Progressive ticket. At 11 o'clock Samuel S. Kpenig. chairman of the Republican County Committee, claimed the election of the entire fusion ticket in the greater city and of the New York County ticket as well. Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam many Hall, followed shortly with a brief statement: . "The result speaks for Itself," he eaid. "Mr. Mitchel has been elected by a majority of the voters. His op ponents Join in, the wish that he may have a successful administration, and hope that it will be of substantial ben efit to the city." Banes Claim Assembly. At. 11:30 o'clock Chairman Barnes, f the Republican State Committee, claimed the election of 90 of the 150 members of the Assembly. TheBe fig ures, he said, were based on almost complete returns from every county. Indications are that Davidson, Dem ocrat, has been elected state Senator in the Twenty-first district to succeed Stilwell. In the Twenty-sixth district J. K. Towner, Republican, has been elected Senator to succeed Franklin D. Roosevelt by apparently 2000 plu rallty. When Fire Commissioner Joseph Johnson, McCall's campaign manager, called the candidate on the telephone and toli him the returns spelled Mitchel by a big majority, McCall said: "Is that so? I have been playing golf all day and I am tired. I will send a telegram of congratulation to Mr. Mitchel and go back to bed." 3'o Iernonal Victory Mitchel. Mayor-elect Mitchel said, the result was not a personal triumph, but a vie tory for the cause of good government. "I shall be Mayor for all the people of New York and not for any faction, di vision or party," he said. "I have but one ambition and that Is to make New York City the best-governed city in America. To Judge McCall I extend my sincere personal greetings. He has reaped the whirlwind and suffered the consequences of intolerable condi tlons of a corrupt machine and leader ship. The campaign and its incidents now are historical and as Mayor I shall invite the co-operation of Judge Mc Call as chairman of the Public Servic Commission in carrying out the plans lor rapid transit in the city." "What are you. going to do abou Murphy?" he was asked at fusion head Quarters. "By not recognizing him or anyon connected with him, I am going to do all I can to drive him out of business A foregone conclusion of the ballot lng today was the re-election of Charles S.

'VINDICATED,' SAYS VICTOR Assemblyman-Elect Krom Slxtli Dis trict in Xew York Denounces Tammany JIall Leader and. His "High Court of Infamy." NEW YORK, Nov. . William Sulzer, ousted from the Governorship of New York last month by a verdict of a high court of Impeachment, was elected to the State Assembly today from the Sixth District by a sweeping plurality, estimated at an early hour at 2000 or more. He ran on the . Progressive ticket and apparently, polled more votes than his Republican and Demo cratlc opponents combined. Old neigh bors on the East Side rallied, strongly to his support. There was Jubilation unbounded in the ex-Governor's headquarters as the ount recorded his victory, Sulzer him self waa all smiles. He regarded his triumph as a personal indication, he said, and issued a statement thanking is supporters and denouncing Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall. 'The people of the Sixth Assembly District," said Sulzer, "think better of me than of Murpny. They know why Murphy removed me; they know when Murphy asked me to do wrong I re fused to do wronn: they know when Murphy tried to bribe me I refused to e bribed; they know when Murphy threatened me I defied his threats. The voters have condemned, Mr. Murphy, reversed the judgment of his high court of Infamy and vindicated me. From Mr. Murphy's high court ot infamy I appealed to the higher court f public opinion. Mr. Murpny said there was no appeal from his court. ut lie was mistaken, and he knows ow the Judgment of the people can reverse the judgment of any court." Five out of 16 districts give Sulzer 916 to 694 for both Democratic and Republican candidates. DEMOCRATS WIN 2 STATES (Continued Prom First' Page.) fight, the selection of a Democratic Governor and state ticket in Virginia without contest, the ascendancy of fu sion over Tammany in New York City, with indications of Republican victory for the New York Assembly - and the Judicial ticket, and the election of James F. Fielder. Democrat, as Gov ernor of New Jersey. A feature of the New Jersey election is that the vote cast for Everett Colby, the Progressive candidate, will not ex ceed 40,000, as compared- with 146,410 received a year ago by Colonel Roose velt for President. Fielder's indicated plurality Is about 16,000. Stokes' Vote Exceeds Taft'a. Fielder's vote in the returns at band is running slightly below that received by Woodrow Wilson a year ago, which was 178,289. Stokes' vote probably will exceed 150,000. as compared with 88,838 received by Taft last year. Fielder's plurality in the state Is prob ably 20,000 and may exceed .that amount. Estimates from Hudson County, Fielder's home county, show that Fielder has carried it by 20,000. Stokes apparently has carried Essex County the home of Colby and also the home of ex-Senator Smith and ex-Democratic State Chairman Nugent, whom Fielder, on the stump, accused of working against him. Returns from New Jersey were de layed. In the early returns Stokes and Fielder were running neck and neck. Fielder, who succeeded Presi dent Wilson as Governor of New Jer sey, had the support of the National Administration, several members of the Cabinet taking the stump in his behalf. National Republican leaders spoke in behalf of Stokes, and President Wilson and his policies were made the dom inant issues. The Democrats have elected five o the eight State senators chosen yes terday, which will make the next State Senate, with the holdovers, stand 1 Democrats to 9 Republicans. The com plexion of the next Assembly probably will depend on the result in Essex County. Late returns from Esse County indicate that the Assembly ticket was carried by the Democrats, If this estimate is correct, the Demo crats will control the Assembly by vote of 40 to 20.

' The remainder of the state ticket was in doubt when three-fourths of the election districts had reported, Shortly before midnight. The Democratic lead ers claimed, a complete victory for state offices and the returns as far as tabu lated seemed to support this conten tion. The Legislature continues Repub lican in both branches, with sligh.tly increased majorities. Mr. Walsh, who succeeds Governor Foss, after one term as Lieutenant Governor, was elected to his present office a year ago by nearly 200,000 votes, the greatest number ever re ceived by a Democratic candidate for that office. i Charles Sumner Bird, Progressive candidate, appeared to have a slight lead over Representative Gardner, Re- ublican, for second place. Governor Foss, originally a Republican and three times elected as Governor by the Dem ocrats, polled the smallest vote of the four leading candidates. He ran as an independent. When Mr. Walsh's election was assured his friends es- orted him to Boston Common, where he addressesd a great crowd of wildly cheering partisans. Maryland Senator Democrat. In Maryland a Democratic Senator was chosen. Democracy triumphed also in the Twentieth Newlork Congressional District, where Jacob H. Cantor was elected; the Thirteenth New York, where George W. Loft succeeding the late "Tim" Sullivan, was elected, and the Third Maryland District, where Charles P. Coady was the choice. A Republican, Calvin D. Paige, was elected in the Third Massachusetts District to succeed the late William P. Wilder (Rep.). The total vote gave Mr. Paige a majority ot 165.' The vote was: Paige (Rep.), 11,027; O'Connell (Dem.), 10,872; Marshall (Prog.), 6205. Henry C. Stuart was chosen Gov ernor of Virginia, together with an entire state ticket.

Washington failed to show much enthusiasm about today's elections, but President Wilson returned to the White Rouse tonight wearing' a genial smile of satisfaction over the returns trom Massachusetts, Maryland, New York and New Jersey. The President watched the New Jersey returns closely for the final confirma tion of the success of the Democratic ticket in New Jersey, for which he has spoken and voted. The election just about depleted the capital of interested officials and those who remained behind received the news of general Democratic suess with apnthy. Senators and Representatives had hurried home to vote or taken a holiday if they had no election to at tend to. The chairmen of the Congres sional committees. Representative Woods, of Iowa, Republian, and Repre senative Doremus, of Michigan, Demo crat, paid little attention to early re turns. They were interested particu larly in the results of Congressional elections in the Third Massachusetts. the Thirteenth and Twentieth New York and the Third Maryland districts, which were slow In coming in. The representatives of the National committees of the Democratic, Repub lican and Progressive parties had closed up shop in Washington and were busy tabulating returns in New York. Massachusetts and. other scenes of hot ly contested elections. Secretary Bryan watched the returns closely, getting- the returns over the telephone at his home. He had no com ment to make. Just before midnight President Wil son sent this telegram to James F. Fielder, successful candidate for Gov ernor of New Jersey: axy warmest congratulations. You did not need to call out the reserves.'
