TAMMANY IS LEFT OUT IN THE COLD AS RESULT OF ELECTION

WILL NOT GET A SLICE WHEN THE PIE IS CUT BOARD OF ESTIMATES AND APPROPRIATION HAS THE HANDLING OF OVER A BILLION DOLLARS OF THE CITY COIN MURPHY WILL NOT Resign.

New York, Nov. 3.—Battle scarred Tammany, which yesterday elected a mayor, but lost a city, took up today the gloomy work of setting its house in order for four years of avowed anti-Tammany government in Greater New York.

Analysis show that the election, which resulted in the defeat by the fusion forces of every important Tammany democratic candidate below the mayor was more of a victory for anti-Tammany democrats, who had lined up with the republicans under the fusion banner, than for straight out republicans.

Anti-Tammany democrats elected on republican-fusion ticket for four years will be in absolute control of the city's purse strings. They will have a clear majority in the Board of Estimate and Apportionment, one of the most powerful municipal bodies in any city of the world and therefore the right of spending more than a billion dollars of the city's money.

The board of estimate, as elected... (Continued on page eight.)
TAMMANY IS LEFT (Continued from page 1.)) includes, besides mayor-elect Gaynor -who in the past has been a strong anti-machine man-five anti-Tammany democrats and two republicans. The sixteen votes allotted various members of the board are so distributed- that, besides Judge Gaynor's three ballots, the anti-Tammany democrats will have nine and republicans four. In this board, according to anti-Tammany democrats is to be found a nucleus of what they believe will make for complete reorganization of the democratic party in greater New York. Persistent rumors had it today that an attempt to create new order of things for the New York city democracy was under way. Charles F. Murphy, who succeeded Richard Croker as the Tammany leader, came out with a formal disavowal of these rumors at the same time denying the report that he was to be deposed as the leader or Tammany "I have no intention of resigning," said Murphy. "I have not heard of any opposition to me within the party and I have heard nothing about these reported rumblings of discontent and approaching revolt." The presence of Richard Croker in the city was a matter of considerable speculation to those who were studying the situation, and the announcement that he had extended his visit here five days longer, than previously announced. was regarded as insignificant. Mr. Croker's visitors today included former Mayor Hugh Grant, Lewis Noxon, Wm. F Sheehan and Mayor McClellan. The retired leader said these calls were without political significance. "I am out of politics for good and all." he declared. aldermanic districts show that Tammany lost ground also in that body, and that the democratic majority will be cut down from 31 to a majority by a single vote. In addition to this loss, several of the nominally democratic votes from Brooklyn districts are the product of a fusion between the democratic and the Hearst-Independent forces and are hardly to be depended upon to support their democratic colleagues in all instances. William M. Ivins, republican free-lance, who launched the Hearst boom late in the campaign, offered his congratulations to fusion candidates today.
