The regular municipal and assembly elections are be ing held throughout New York state to day. Besides these voters today are balloting on nine Justices of the su preme court, chief Justice a ad one as sociate Justice of the court of appeals, two .congressmen and one state senator are being elected from New York city. Successors aro being chosen to fill out the upexplred terms of Francis Burton Harrison, appointed governor general of the Philippines, and Timothy (Big Tim) Sullivan, who was killed by a train last summer, and ex-State Sen ator Stephen J. Stlllwell, whitewashed of charges of bribery by Tammany at Albany, but later tried, convicted and sentenced to Sing Sing on the same charges. Up-state, the voters are choos ing a successor to ex-State Senator Franklin D. Roosevelt who resigned to become assistant secretary of the navy. Chief Interest centered in the New York .mayoralty election, this campaign having been the bitterest since the days of Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall, and the notorious "Tweed Ring." Although Impeached and removed from office as governor, William Sulzer was o:e of the dominant factors in today's elec tions. His statement as to the domi nation of Chief Murphy of Tammany Hail had a sweeping effect. John Pur roy Mitchell, appointed by President Wilson as collector of the port of New York, and the Fusion candidate for mayor, became the favorite over Ed ward B. McCall for may.or soon after 8ulzer's story was published. - McCall has steadfastly claimed that he had no connection with Tammany,' but Sulier named him as Murphy's messenger In Murphy's attempts to dictate to Sulzer. The entire Mitchell campaign has been conducted as an onslaught on Tammany domination; JapoUUca. Yards of statistics have been quoted showing extravagance of a Tammany adminis tration. The chief point picked by Tammany on which the fight on Mitch el was made was his stand on the subway question while president of the board of aldermen.
