Mayor's Race Tammany Is Humbled for the First Time in Nineteen Years O'Brien Is Third. New York, Nov. 7. Tammany hall was humbled tonight for tha first time in 19 years by a powerful fusion movement that swept in Fiorello H. LaGuardia as mayor and gave fusion control of the important board of es timate. Joseph V. McKce, running as an independent with the indorsement of Postmaster General James A. Farley, ran far behind the short, stocky La Guardia and only slightly ahead of Mayor John P. O'Brien, Tammany stalwart. LaGuardia, first successful chal lenger of the tiger since John Puroy Mitehel was elected mayor in 1914, polled between 40 and 50 per cent of the total vote. LaGuardia will take office on Jan uary 1. The complete unofficial returns gave: O'Brien 5SG.100. LaGuardia, S5S,531. McKee, 604,045. Pecora Eun Third. Ferdinand Pecora, who has been in charge cf the senate banking com mittee's investigations into J. P. Mor gan &. Co., and other financial insti tutions, ran third in the district at torney's race. LaGuardia was assured of com plete domination of the board of es timate because the fusion forces elected the comptroller, president of the board of aldermen, and presidents of the boroughs of Brooklyn, Rich mond and Queens.

Dcutseh of the fusion ticket, was chosen president of the board of aldermen over Nathan Straus, jr., McKee's running mate, and Milton Solomon, democrat. A severe blow at John H. McCooey's grip on the Brooklyn democratic or ganization was dealt when Ingersoll defeated Ilestcrberg for re-election. U27ION WOMAN'S CLUB The attractive home of Sir. and Mrs. I.
