Student Alumni Association OMAHA Voters capped a brief but bitter campaign Tuesday by recalling Mayor Mike Boyle in a special election. With 94.9 percent of the projected votes counted, 53,167 people or 56 percent voted for the recall and 41,689 people or 44 percent voted against the recall. Recall supporters at the headquarters of Citizens For Mature Leadership, the ' group that led the drive against Boyle, shouted and applauded when they heard the first returns showing them leading. Recall spokesman Jim Cleary said he doubted he would make any victory speech or seek a concession from Boyle. "We'll just take the results, and that's it," he said. Boyle was not at his campaign headquarters and his answering service said he was not at home. The mayor did not return the call to his house. Boyle campaign manager Jim Crounse said he was suiprised at the vote margin. "I guessed it was going to be a lot closer," Crounse said. He said the election was "more like a trial than an election with the voters as jury. It appears they made up their minds before they had the evidence." Douglas County Election Commis sioner Steve Wiitala said he expected 100,000 ballots would be counted. His staff will start a canvass on Thursday and have 10 days from then to certify the results. When the results are certified, City Council President Steve Tomasek will become interim mayor. The council would then pick someone to fill out the 2 12 years in Boyle's term. Boyle, who has been mayor since 1981 and is in the middle of his second term, had campaigned day and night for the past few weeks, accusing his opponents of a "mud-slinging smear campaign a hate campaign." Cleary, who graduated with Boyle from Creighton University in 1973, said his group made every effort to wage a fair campaign. The group Citizens for Mature Leadership began its recall drive in October after Boyle fired Police Chief Robert Wadman for insubordination. Wadman had refused to sign dis cipline papers against officers involved in the 1985 drunken driving arrest of Boyle's brother-in-law, John E. Howell. Boyle said the arrest was an attempt to lure him into interceding illegally for Howell. The mayor also complained when police issued traffic citations for his 19-year-old son and again when his twin 17-year-old sons were arrested for allegedly soliciting prostitution. The twins' cases went into confidential juvenile court proceedings. Opponents accused Boyle of meddling in police affairs, of being "soft" on drunken driving and making disrespect ful remarks. The 42-year-old mayor admitted that some of the recall group's criticism was justified. He apologized for a racial slur and other remarks. But Boyle would not apologize fur firing Wadman, who has appealed his dismissal. During the campaign, Boyle empha sized what he's done to improve the city of 340,000 people in 5 12 years in office. He cited better streets, the city's AAA bond rating and downtown development. . '. ... ' 1 A " X ' . .1 , f Paul VonderlageDaily Nebraskan Dr. Vernon N.
