elected George H. Cotterill mayor and
has once again repudiated Hiram C Gill,
who was recalled from the mayoralty a
year ago.
Thla Is the result Of the most strenu

- At noon unofficial figures gave Cot
terill 81,832 arid Gill 80,830, with about
half a doien precincts yet to hear from.
They may change the majority but not
the result,, although,, at Gill headquarters
admission ot defeat was not given In
face of these returns. It la expected
the official count may Increase Cotter

had reported to the comptroller and the
more complete figures are the result
of the newspaper canvass and the count
