SLATE WINS OUT;

Voters of Omaha Return Old Com

One Exception of

HUMMEL LEADS ENTIRE LIST
Mayor Dahlman on Two-Thirds Vote
of City Ranks Fourth of
Candidates.
DREXEL WELL UP IN THE LIST
Bl'LLKTIK.
Returns coming in as this edition
went to press indicate that Jardine
is likely to beat McQovern for sev
enth man. making two new commis
sioners elected.
F.sturns from two-thirds of tb.9
precincts of the city show that Hum
mel, Kugel. Wlthnell, Mayor Dahl
man, Butler and McGovern of the
present administration and Drexel of
the antl ticket have heen elected.
Jardine and Laroreaux of the antls
followed the seventh man.
The election was an administra
tion victory, the "Square Seven" los
ing only one man, Edward Simon,
who was hopelessly lost In the shuf
fle. Commissioner Ryder, the "po
litical orpham," also ran in the rear.
The returns re marked by various in
teresting feature, one being the large
vote cast in the Twelfth ward for the
antis, where Dahlman and his associate
received a severe cut.
Simon and Ryder.
The Third ward stayed by Simon, as
against Ryder, notwithstanding persistent
report that the administration would
ditch Simon at the last minute and pick
up Ryder. Simon ran ahead of Ryder
nearly two to one In the Third Ward.
The First, Second and Tenth wards
stayed by the administration ticket, as
wu predicted.
The most striking feature of the re
turns Is the strong lead gained by Hum
mel over Mayor Dahlman, regarded by
many as the magnet which, would lead
the administration, candidate. s
IInael' Statement.
T am more than pleased at tha show
ing made. I oaa only attribute this to
the work t have don In the last three
years in tha parks and on the boulevards.
I believe It was tha. showing made by
my. department," was a statement toad
by Commissioner Bumel, .;;":v
Mayor Dahlan exhibited somev choler
at the city ball when he learned that he
had lost his lead; "A far as I am eon
eerned. J will give Improvements to
those wards which supported me. . How
ever, I regard It as an administration
victory and I am pleased with the gen
eral results," said the mayor.
Followers Come Close.
Another feature of the election Is the
small difference between the low man
on the administration ticket and teh high
man on the anti-ticket.
Harry B. lmmin ran ahead of Ryder
and Simon. All day yesterday there
were reports that the "sympathetic vote"
would carry Ryder through; that tha ad-
ministration had made a big blunder In
dropping the "political orphan;" that
I!der had been mada a political goat
and that there ww no chance for him
to lose. Even some of the administration
men conceded Ryder's election. Zimman
was generally declared to be a winner
yesterday. Notwithstanding the" strong
support Ekven Simon by the "Square
Hewn," ho failed to show any material
rtrength.

Federal Reserve Board Denies Re
quest of Bankers for Transfer
to Chicago Territory.
DECISION MAY NOT BE FINAL
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, May 4. (Special
Telegram.) For a time at least Ne
braska and Wyoming hanks, mem
bers of the tenth regional federal re
serve district, located in Kansas City,
will continue In that district, accord
ing 'to a resolution passed by the
Federal Reserve board today denying
the application of said member banks
In Nebraska and ' Wyoming to be
transf erred. . tp -the seventh, or phK
caao; district. .
Chairman Hamlin ot tha Federal .Re
serve board, when asked for the reason
that prompted the denial of the nicmbor
banks in Nebraska and Wyoming to be
transferred, very frankly stated that his
mouth was closed because the board at
ita formal meeting this morning- hud de
cided to withhold comments on any of
its actions, its decision being its own
comment.
May Not Be Pinal.
Mr. Hamlin said, however, that the
denial of the application of m-vnbii
bank in Nebraska and Wyoming to be
placed In the Chicago district was not
necessarily final.
I "If th board should find that the
member banks in the states referred to
!,re not doing the business to which they
are entitled, or other conditions arise
that will show to the board that tho re
lationship to Kansas City ts not working
out aa we believe it will, then I feel sure
the board will remedy tho conditions.
"The Federal Reserve board has power
at any time to change It. flndln.s or
its decisions. It has the power of review;
and will use the power to bring sbout
rrionHiu anil intimate relations between '
,....... o. th. mi hank. i
, uia.il ,. w.'u . . . . .

"It waa unfortunate that I could not I
visit Omaha on my recent trip through
the southwest, but I have promised my- j
self a visit to Omaha within a month
and I hope that one or two of my col-
m... on the board will Co with me
to the metropolis of a state in which we
entertain a most friendly Interest."
It will be recalled that a committee

W. D. McHugh of Omaha was retained

The ground and reason for the transfer

and Wyoming to be classed with Chi-
cgo and taken out of tho Kansas City
district Is set forth in the petition of BO,
national banks of Nebraska and thirty-:
two national banks of Wyoming.

Thia was the crux Of the contention.
