Van Wyck Elected Mayor of Greater New York by Eighty=Six Thousand. LOW HAS A BIG LEAD OVER TRACY. George, the Silver Candidate, Scarcely a Fac= tor in the Great Contest. THE STATE WRESTED FROM PLATT. Parker, Democrat, Elected Judge of the Court of Appeals— Legislature Probably Democratic. NEW YORK, Nov. 3.— The following is the grand total of the votes received by the three leading candidates for mayor in Greater New York, com plete returns having been received from all of the districts: Van Wyck, 235,181; Low, 148,513; Tracy, 101,823. Van Wyck's plurality over Low, 86,668. Following is the grand total of the votes received by the two leading can didates for chief Judge of court of appeals in the Greater New York_ter ritory, complete returns having been received from all of the assembly dis tricts: Wallace (Rep.), 139,772; Par ker (Dem.), 282,967. Parker's plural ity over Wallace, 143,195. While no figures have been reported of the vote for congressman in the Third district, where there was a vacancy caused by the resignation of F. H. Wilson, it is probable that Will iam A. Prendergast (Rep.) is elected. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.— The indica tions are the Democrats have a small majority of the state assembly. In the greater city it Is estimated, from very meagre returns, the representa tion will be fifty-one Democrats and ten Republicans, while in the uppe.r part of the state there are said to have been changes from Republicans to Democrats in twenty districts. In the last assembly the Republicans had a majority of seventy-eight. Conceding all that is claimed by the Democrats, the next house will have ten Demo cratic majority. Stats senators were not elected this year. Other estimates give a Republican majority in the as sembly of three. Estimates of the majority of Parker (Dem.) for chief judge of the court of appeals range all the way from 35,000 to 50,000. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.— At midnight 770 of the 883 election districts in Great er New York had been counted, show ing: Van Wyck (Tammany Dem.), 123, --733; Low (Citizens' Union), 65,771; Tracy (Rep.), 48,787; George (Jeff. Dem.), 10, --617; Van Wyck's plurality, 57,962. Van Wyck at this time is shown to have polled as large a vote as both Tracy and Low combined, while the George vote, which a week ago was regarded with more or less apprehen sion and was expected to be anywhere from 65,000 to 100,000, has fallen to al most infinitesimal proportions. It is estimated upon the basis of the ballots already counted that Van Wyck's total vote will be from 146,000 to 148,000 in Manhattan and Bronx; 73,000 in the borough of Brooklyn, 8,500 in Queen's and 1,900 in Richmond, or approximately 231,000 votes in New York. Lnw's vote will not be far from ILj.OOO; Tracy's, 100,000, and George's 16,000. The total, 499,000, will not be materially altered either way.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 3, 1897. will send the grand total above the half-million mark. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.— Tammany's victory in the first municipal election in Greater New York is a sweeping one. The only question remaining to be set tled at 11 o'clock is the one of the plurality by which the entire ticket headed by Robert A. Van Wyck has carried the gigantic municipality. It can scarcely be less than 60,000 and may be larger than that. Van Wyck has polled a vote which falls possibly 40,000 under the combined votes of Gen. Tracy (Rep.) and Seth Low (Citi zens' Union). The latter was success ful to the extent of polling an aggre gate vote in excess of the 140,000 pledges implied by the signatures of the petition upon which he became the candidate of an independent move ment, which at the outset offered to join hands with the Republican party organization in a concerted effort to exclude Tammany from power in the greater city to come into being on Jan. 1, 1898, with a population the second in magnitude of the great cities of the world. The offer was declined on the ground that in such a movement the Republican organization would partici pate only coincidently with the other party to the compact, and the Citizens' Union, on the other hand, refused to recall its nomination of Mr. Low in order that the form of selecting a can didate might be carried out conjoint ly with the Republican organization. The total number of votes cast was not far either way from half a million. The indications are that Van Wyck re ceived 210,000; Low, 145,000; Tracy, 100, --000 and George 15,000. The aggregate is swelled by a few thousand votes cast for Gleason (Ind. Dem.), Saniel (Socialist) and Wardweli (Pro.). On the city ticket with Judge Van Wyck, Bird S. Color is elected comp troller and Randolph Guggenhelmer, president of the municipal council. Charles F. Fairchlld, who was secre tary of the treasury during Cleveland's first term and whom the Citizens' Union put up for comptroller, did not hold the pace with Mr. Low. Ashbel Fitch, originally a Republican and af terwards a Democratic member of congress from a Tammany district of this city, was the Republican nominee for comptroller. He is defeated by about the same vote as the head of his ticket. He was nominated with Gen. Tracy in recognition of the serv ices rendered in the presidential cam paign last year, fighting as a gold standard Democrat against the Demo crats who had accepted the 16 to 1 platform of the Chicago convention. Color, the successful candidate, is new to the public. Charles W. Day ton, late postmaster of this city, who was nominated for comptroller on the George ticket, polled probably half as many votes again as were given to Mr. George. The legislative branch of the city government is Tammany Democrat. It is a double headed body, one branch being the municipal council consisting of the president and twenty-eight members, and the other, the board of Battle of Ballots Briefly Told. GREATER NEW YORK— Tammany ticket, headed by Van Wyck, for mayor, elected by 86,668 plurality. Van Wyck, 235,181; Low, 148, --513; Tracy, 101,823; George, 20,386. Municipal assembly Democratic. NEW YORK STATE— Parker (Dem.) elected chief justice of the court of appeals. Republicans claim working majority in the legisla ture, but indications favor the Democrats. MARYLAND— Republicans claim the legislature, but Democrats may have a majority of one, which will return Gorman to the senate. VlßGlNlA— Democratic ticket elected by a heavy majority on a light vote. Legislature believed to be solidly Democratic. NEBRASKA— Fusion state ticket elected by from 10,000 to 25,000. lOWA— Republican state ticket, headed by Shaw, elected by probab ly 17,000. Legislature probably Republican. OHlO— Victory for the state ticket and the legislature claimed by both Republicans and Democrats. MASSACHUSETTS— RepubIicans elect their state ticket, headed by Wolcott for governor. Wolcott, 164,000; Williams (Dem.), 79,000. Legislature, Republican. SOUTH DAKOTA— Republicans elected in a majority of the judi cial districts. aldermen, comprising sixty members. The precise number of Democrats chosen cannot be stated at the present writing. There appears to be a strong probability that the Democrats have won a majority of the county and borough officers along with the mu nicipal places. The vote of Van Wyck in New York county is approximately the same as was cast for Bryan in 1896, which was 135,624. Gen. Tracy (Rep.) polled ap proximately 55,000, against McKinley's vote of 156,359 in New York county, while Low, Citizen's Union, polled ap proximately 77,000, and George 12,000. In Kings county, which includes the city of Brooklyn, the Bryan vote was TAMMANY TIGER— WELL, FAThKU KNICKERBOCKER, IT IS TOUR TURN NEXT. GORMAN MAY SUCCEED HIMSELF. All Indications Point to a Victory for the Senator in Maryland. BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 2.— The Re publicans have elected their municipal ticket in Baltimore by majorities rang ing from 4,000 to 6,000, but the state ticket is in doubt and there is some reason for believing that the Demo crats have carried the legislature and that United States Senator Gorman may succeed himself. Official returns from the state are of the most meager and unsatisfactory character, so that even the chairmen of the state central committees hesitate to express an un qualified opinion as to the result on the state and the legislative tickets. A conservative estimate l>ased upon partial returns indicates that the Demo crats will have 60 votes on joint ballot, while the-Republicans will have 57. The list of delegates and senators elected today by each party will probably be as follows: Republicans — Allegeny, 6; Anne Arundol, 4; Baltimoro city, 19; Charles, 3; Frederick, 5; Garrett, 3; Harford, 1; Prince Georges, 4; Somerset, 2. Total, 48. Democratic— Baltimore county, C; Calvert, 3; Carolina, 3; Carroll, 4; Cecil, 4; Dorchester, 4; Harford, 4; Howard, 2; Kent, 2; Montgom ery. 4; Queen Annes, 3; St. Marys. 3; Talbot, 4: Wlcomlco, 3; Washington, 4; Worcester, 4. Total, 57. There are twelve "hold over" sena tors of which nine are Republicans and three Democrats. When these are add ed to the list of those chosen today the total will be: Republicans, 57; Demo crats, 60. Chairman Scott, of the Republican Blate committee, gave out the following written statement at midnight: "I am very well satisfied with the result so far as heard from. We have carried Baltimore, including the three legisla tive districts by at least 8,000 majority, and our adviceß from the state indicate that the Republicans will send a suc cessor to Mr. Gorman to the United States senate." BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 2.— Returns from the state are meagre and unoffi cial in character. Up to 11:30 nothing but estimates have been received, but these indicate that the Democrats may possibly have a majority on Jcint bal- 76,882, while Van Wyck has almost the Bamf. Against McKinley's vote of 109,135, Gen. Tracy polls approximate ly 35,000, while Low's vote is approxi mately 65,000. In these two counties the straight Republican vote shows a falling off of nearly 175,000, or in ex cess of the total vote for Seth Low, while the Tammany vote equals, if it does not slightly exceed that cast for Bryan. Whatever might have been the re sult, had Henry George survived the campaign, the elections, from the earli est returns, showed that the substitu tion of the son for the father aa the Continued on Third I'iikc lot in the assembly, which will insure the re-election of Senator Gorman. Nine election districts in Baltimore city give Malster (Rep.) for mayor 1,674; Williams (Dem.) 1,235. The same districts gave McKinley 1,934; Bryajv 1,031 in 1896 when McKinley's majori ty in the city reached 19,000. BALTIMORE, Nov. 2.— Returns con tinue to come in slowly, but ten pre cincts outside of Baltimore having been received at this hour. Conservative estimates place such counties as have been heard as follows: Democratic — Baltimore, Cecil, Car roll, Worcester, Harford, Howard, Kent and Talbot. Republican — Garrett, Somerset, Alle gheny, Anne, Arundel, Charles and Frederick. Some of these are doubtful. In the city Malster's majority may reach 6,500, and at this hour the Republicans seem to have carried all three legis lative districts. If these estimates are correct the legislature will be Repub lican. The chairman of both state committees refuse to express an opin ion as to the result outside of Balti more city. ALBANY, N. V., Nov. 2.— The esti mates of votes in chief judge of court of appeals, based on the returns from New York, Kings and Queens counties, lead to the belief at 3 o'clock that Parker (Dem.) will come up to the Harlem with 60,000 plurality, and that Wallace (Rep.) can hardly meet him with enough votes from up state to win, as the Republican pluralities given to Black last year are about cut in two. chose: democratic mayors. ?

COLUMBUS. 0., Nov. 2.— The result in Ohio is so close that it may re quire the official count to determine the result, especially on the political complexion of the legislature. The Re publicans and Democrats are both claiming the state and the legislature with such persistence that it will re- quire the official count at least to get one or the other to concede defeat. In complete returns indicate the elec tion of the Republican state ticket by from 10,000 to 12,000, but the result on the legislature is so close that no defi nite figures can be given on it tonight. The Democrats claim confidently a majority in both branches of the leg islature, but give no figures on the number of state senators or repres nt atlves. The Republicans claim 54 rep resentatives and 17 senators sure, or 71 votes on joint ballot, 73 being neces sary to elect a senator. They also claim all of the 12 representatives whose counties have not been definite ly heard from and all of which are in the doubtful list. Out of the five state senators yet to hear from they claim three, so that the result on the legislature cannot be determined un til all the doubtful counties and dis tricts are heard from. Both sides are watching the count very care-fully, especially on the legislative candidates that are in doubt. The change from the result of last year shows that the Democrats have gained in all of the cities largely, ex cept in Cleveland. The gains in Cin cinnati and Columbus were very large. The Republicans gained in the rural districts, but most of the changes were due to the stay-at-home vote in the rural districts, which was fully lv per cent. CLEVELAND, 0.. Nov. 3.— At 1 o'clock this morning, Senator Hanna claimed a majority of the legislature on joint ballot. On the result he said: 1 am not surprised that the result of the election has been a victory for the Repub lican party. I have confidently believed from beginning to end that the people of Ohio would see no reason to alter the verdict they returned so emphatically one year ago, and I was certain, on the other hand, that they would Bee many reasons why they should Indorse their own decision.
