Hynes Voters Sweep Curley Out of Office; New Yorkers Elect Lehman and O'Dwyer

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

New York voters elected Herbert H. Lehman Senator yesterday in a Democratic sweep of the state. John Foster Dulles, Lehman's opponent, conceded the election at 10:44 p.m. last night.

Lehman, running on a Democrat-Liberal party ticket, had supported President Truman's "Fair Deal" program, while Republican Dulles has opposed Truman domestic policy. Voting was heavy.

In New York City, Mayor William O'Dwyer was re-elected, with Newbold Morris, Republican-Liberal-Fusion candidate conceding the victory at 10:23 p.m. last night.

With 9,018 election districts reporting out of a New York State total of 9,565, the vote in the Senate race totalled: Lehman 2,460,407, Dulles 2,240,230.

President Truman stated that Lehman's victory over Dulles "will have a decided effect on the elections of 1950." His victory gave the Democrats 53 Senate seats to 43 for the Republicans. He had been actively opposed by Governor Thomas E. Dewey, who had also campaigned for Morris; Lehman's victory was widely interpreted last night as a vote of approval for Truman's present administration.
