XKNV YORK, Nov. 8. With their
county ticket barely Humping through
and with their judicial ticket in
. Brooklyn overwhelmncd, and with the
assembly going republican, Tammany
Hull is badly frightened over the elec
tion resullH today. The loss of con
trol of the New York legislature n'nd
the loosening of Tammany's grip in
New York City is causim.' prediction
of the passing of Boss Murphy.
Republican County Chairman Sam
uel Koenig threatens to demand a re
count of the vole, so small was the
margin of victory for Tammuuy in
tho county.
Itnrncs May Itctallatc.
It is exjK'cted that Williams Barnes
of Albany will now retaliate on the
democrats who probed his nilitienl
rule in the capital hy demanding that
thu new republican legislature inves
tigativ tho administration in New York
City. Barnes hlnmes Murphy f,r tho
Albany probe, and with republicans
controlling the legislature his oppor
tunity for refallation has oomo.
The ballot of both houses in the
legislature gives the republicans 111)
members and the drmoorats 82.
U is believed that the proposed in
vestigation will bo directed against
the Brooklyn judicial candidates, who
it was charged, as candidates for the
supreme bench, paid Tammnny .f'12,
(100 for their nominations.
Tho socialist vote was a surprise.

vioesi iruMiii- 01 .lonnnonr- who is
elected mayor of Cleveland bv the
largest majority ever registered in
the city. Frank Hogen, the republi
can candidate, an old-time foe of
oliusou. was simply smothered in the
storm of hhllots which spelled victory
for Baker whose plurality was 17,
000. "It is a monument to Johnson"
said Baker today. "Johnson and his
Klieies were the issue as much as
though ho were alive today."
Another Johnson triumph was the
authorisation by tho city of n !?2,
000,000 bond issue for n' municipal
lighting plant, a measure for which
Johnson fought throughout his en
tire career.
Returns from thirty-five counties
show fifty-one progressive dele
gates elected to tho constitutional
convention to be held in January,
which assures a progressive major
ity in that body, and makes certain
the inclusion of tho initiative, refer
endum and recall in the Ohio consti
tution. Surpriso is exprasscd everywhere
at tho large gains showns by tho so
cialist party, which gained notable
victories in many cities. In Ohio, the

TAFT SLAPPED
NINNAT
Republican Machlno Under Boss Cox
Receives Most Severe Blow It Has
Ever Sustained Democrat Elected.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. S. The
election of Henry T. Hunt, democrat,
as mayor of Cincinnati ovor his re
publican opponent, Louis Schwab, is
regarded here today as a direct slap
at President Taft, nnd tho severest
blow which tho republican machine
under Boss George Ii. Cox has ever
sustained.
Hunt's campaign was spectacular
Ex-Mayor Fleisciunnuu appealed to
President Taft early in the campaign
with tho result that tho president
wrote him an open letter in which
lio endorsed tho republican ticket.
President Tuft's personality thereby
becamo a ditto issuo in the campaign
nnd in clouting Hunt tho Cincinnati
.voters disregarded tho president's in
fluence and wishes,
Hunt is a strong supporter of Gov
ernor Harmon and it is believed that
hi oleetion will materially advance
Harmon's chances for tho democratic
prosmential uonuuattout
PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. S. While
detectives searchod for Hilda John
son, a domestic, charged with the
murder and Incineration of her 24-
hour-old Infant In a furnace at the
homo of Mrs. George Kolly, on North
Twenty-third Btreot, the woman ap
peared at the Kelly homo today and
excitedly demanded her clothos. No
ono was at tho houso, except a new
maid, who became so frightened that
sho slammed tho door In the woman's
face. Apparently furious with anger
the Johnson woman shoutod that she
would be back In n short time and
ran away.
Bubo Horn Sunday.
Tho baby was born Sunday morn
ing nnd Miss Johnson disappeared
a fow hours afterward.
Until her sudden appoaranco short
ly before noon today nothing had
beon seen of her.
Detective Smith, who workod on
tho case, claims to havo found bones
of a baby's ribs and flugors In tho
fttrnn.co and an empty chloroform
bottle In tho girl's room.

The Johnson woman loft Mrs. Kol-
ly's servlt'o Sunday after sho had
worked two weeks. On tho morning
sho dropped from sight It was noted
that an unusually largo f Iro had been
built In tho furnaco. An empty bot
tle of chloroform was found In tho
tho girl 8 room, and soon aftor tho
hones wore uncovered In tho furnaco

by Smith, who worked on tho cast

two of tho flvo men who had sur

death. So both wero excused, leav
ing only three mon in tho jury box
as tho nucleus of tho permanent Jury.
It was estimated that loss of tho two
men would add at least two woeks
to tho time needed to completo tho
Jury.
Word from 11 urns.
Word was received hero today di
rect from Detectlvo William J. Burns
that all of tho evidence seized In
the raid on tho offices of tho Inter
national Association of Brldgo and
Structural Iron Workers In Indian
apolis would bo avallablo for uso at
the trial of James B. McNamara,
accused of blowing up tho Los An
geles Times building moro than a
year ago. Burns sont word that tho
union's attorneys havo lost their
fight, and th'at as soon as tho fedoral
grand Jury, now lu session In In
dianapolis, concludes Its investiga
tion, he will havo tho ovldenco
turned over to him and will bring
It hero in porson,
Not a Siirpri.si.
This announcement, whllQ It did
not co mo as a surpriso to tho do
fouse, was a distinct disappointment,
as Claronco Darrow and his associ
ates had hopod to try only tho Times
case horo iu California'. Ho admit
ted that if Bums brines his nllogod
ovldonce, which tho union officials
chargo was "planted," all of tho al
leged crimes charged by tho National
Erectors' association will bo dragged
Into this case. Darrow and Davis
Insisted today that thoy would fight
any such development to tho bitter
end, and they said that It this nl
logod ovldonco Is permitted to bo In
troduced into the case It will bo only
bocnuso Judgo Bordwell . coutlnuos
