John Purroy MUchel uiayor by ap-
proximately 71,000 to 100,000 plural-
ity and retaining control of ttie im-
portant board of estimate by a safe
Margin.

independence league as well as demo-

running.
The election of Mitchel w ig early

thirds of the returns were in was the
success of McAneny and Prendergast
assured.
Tmussu) I tout la Complete.
Appare, 'y, with the exception of
assemblymen in the districts which
Usually go democratic, and minor of-
fices in some of the boroughs, Tam-
many succeeded in electing only one
of its nominees—Maurice E. Connol-
ly, for borough president of Queens.
The fuslont.Ms elected borough presi-
dents in Brooklyn, the Bronx and
Richmond and apparently have pull-
ed through their candidate for presi-
dent of the borouh of Manhattan,
M.ircus M Marks, by a small major-
ity over Dr. Thus. Darlington, Tam-
many.
The result thus indicated would
leave Tammany but one vote out of
the sixteen in the board of estimate,
which controls the city's purchases.
A fusion majority In the board of al-
dermen also seems assured.
In the sixth assembly district Wm.

brief statement:
"The result speaks for itself," he

ousted from tfie governorship of New
j York last month by the verdict of a
jlilgh court of impeachment was eleet-
j ed to the state assembly today from
| the sixth district by a sweeping plu-
rality, estimated at an early hour-at
J.000 or more. Sulzer ran on the
progressive ticket and apparently poll-
ed more votes than his republican and
democratic opponents combined* " n
His old neighbor-* on the east side
rallied strongly to bis support and It
was early apparent that he had
swamped the opposition.
There was jubilation unbounded In
the former governor's headquarters
as the <-ount began to record his vic-
tory. Sulzer himself was all smiles.
He regarded his triumph as a per-
sonal vindication, he said, and issued
ft statement thanking his supporters
snd storing Chas. F. Murphy, leader
of Tammany Hall, who, he declared
was condemned by the vote the dis-
trict gave to Wm. Sulzer as its rep-
resentative at Albany.
"The people of the sixth assembly
district." said Sulzer, In his state-
ment. "think better of me than »f
Mr. Murphy. They know why Mr.
Murphy removed me from the gov-
ernorship; they know when Mr. Mur-
phy asked me to do wrong I refused
to do wrong; they know when Mr.
Murphy tried to bribe me I refused
to be bribed; they know when Mr.
Murphy threatened me I defied his
threats. The voters have now con-
demned Mr. Murphy, reversed the
Judgment of his high court of Infamy
and vindicated me by the verdict of
the polls which In the last analysis Is
the opinion of mankind.
"From Mr. Murphy'fe high court of
infa^iy I appealed to the higher court
of public opinion. Mr. Murphy says
there was no appeal from his court
but Mr. Murphy was mistaken; and he
knows now that tte Judgment of the
people can reverse the judgment of
any court."
Sulser made his fight for election
to the assembly on the lines of the
statement he Issued tonight.
His canvass sps a whirlwind affair,
demonstrative' crwds greeted him
wherever he spokt He rarely went
outside of his district but his speech-
es within that territory were directed
as much at the Tammany organiza-
tion In Its city-wide bearings as to
an appeal to his Immediate constit-
uency. .

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.--Tha
Mexican situation was the
source of widespread comment
in Washington today, but the
day's developments in official
quarters added little of a de-
finite or tangible character,
concerning the exact status o£
affairs. The repefrtb from
Mexico City that a new and
somewhat summary move had
been made by the United States
toward the elimination of Gen-
eral Huerta brought no re-

J ment or other official sources,

SAVANNAH, da.. Nov. 4.—Leaving
a note saying life was cheerless be-
cause she had to work too hard, Mrs.
Albertine S. Mock, a bookkeeper, last
night killed herself hero and took tHe
life of her 11-year-old daughter.
Mother and daughter were found
this morning wrapped in each other's
arms. An open gas Jet told the means
of death. Mrs Mock's husband kill-

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 4.—Mrs.
Bessie J. Wakefield and James Plew
were sentenced this afternoon to be
hanged on March 4 next, for the
murder of William Wakefield, the
woman's husband.
No woman prisoner has been hang-
ed in ConnecUcut since 1788. Mrs.
Wakefield's counsel will appeal to
Governor Baldwin to commute the
sentence.
Wakefield was killed In his home In
Cheshire, Conn., last July. Plew
turned state's evidence and confessed
that he had conspired with Mrs.
Wakefield to murder her husband.
' Plew is a member of the Jewkes
family which scientists say has pro-
duced more than* 1,5%0 defectives.
When arraigned Plew pleaded guilty
to homicide under the ancient statutes
of 1842, which dispenses with a Jury
and permits the court to aetermlne
the degree of guilt With one ex-
ception this was the first time In 200
years that the statute had been in-
roked.
The court delayed several days be-
fore sentencing the pair. When they
were called before the bar today
^udge Burpee said he had been un-
able to find any extenuating circum-
stances which would lead to the fix-
ing of a lesser degree of guilt thaA
premeditated murder. ,

ST. JOHNS, N. F.. Nov. 4—The
Fumes line freighter "Manchester
Commerce," dragged her way into this
harbor today, her bok crumpled and
her pumps racing madly to keep out
water pouring through th? shattered
hurr. _
The steamer, whtch carries no wire-
less, crashed head-on Into a giant Ice-
berg at 2 o'clock Saturday morning
while about 100 milss east of Belle
Isle. ,
The berg loomed out of the black-
ness so suddenly that there was no
time to change the steamer's course
and It swept at full speed into the ice.
The steel prow of the liner was
crumpled up like a piece tin as
far aft as the collision bulkhead.
Captain Crouch headed his ship for
St. John's. A storm /swept the sea
and the steamer had a hard time mak-
ing port. Torrents of water poured
into the hold through the shattered
bow. The pumps, constantly In op-
eration, scarcely could hold their own.
The ship reached here In a sinking
condition.
The steamer carried 6,00 Otons of
general cargo and a crew of forty
officers and men. She is built of
iron and registers 5,363 tons gross.

Dies in Coal Mine
dallas, Tex.,. Nov. 4.—Grand jury
Investigation continued today Into
the Meade Barr confession involving
himself and Mrs. Ellie M. Lake in the
murder of Miss Florence Brown here
last summer. It was said the jury
had so much to discuss and confirm
that no action was expecier today.
Meanwhile Mrs. Lake continued In
Jail here and Barr at Waxahachie, 30
miles from the city. Mrs. lake's at-
torneys issued a statement that they
had urged her to go freely before the
grand Jury with whatever information
was Wanted, and that they were con-
fident the charges by Barr, reflecting
on her, the nature of which were still
kept secret, would prove unfounded.
Barr claimed he gave the knife with
a stage in negotiations where
one party notifies the other
that a compliance with certain
demands must be made by a
certain fixed hour and date,
leaving it to be inferred that
force would be used if neces-
sary to bring about a compli-
ance. The term is often pop-
ularly used to irdicate an urg-
ent diplomatic communication
that in ffect is calculated to
bring the negotiations to a def-
inite issue and some officials
suggested it probably was in
this last sense that the term
was used in reports of action
taken at Mexico City.

published shows that President

an Interview today, asserted that her

expressed the 'same belief. -The sis-
ter said today of the events Just be-

sharp reminder to General
