Unable to Explain Small Ma
jorities in West Philadelphia
and Germantown
SANGUINE OF OUTCOME,
HE "KEEPS ON SMILING'
Independent Republican Candi
date Will Return to Wash
ington Later in Day
Congressman Moore. Independent
candidate for the Republican mayoralty
nomination, expressed surprise today
nt the small majorities returned for him
by the Independent wards of Ger
mantown and West Philadelphia.
He declined to make an extended
comment on the results of the election
on the ground that the figures are thus
far incomplete.
"I will say. however," said Mr.
Moore, "that I wan surprised at the
comparatively poor showing made bv
the so-called Independent wards. I
had expected them to return larger ma
jorities than they did.
"I was. led to expect this by the
fact of the unusually heavy registration
of voters in these wards. It seemed i
fair to infer from the unusually large '
number of voters registered that the i
citizens in these wards desired a change .
in the city's government."
"To whnt do you ascribe the small ,
majorities in the Independent wards?" I
Mr. Moore was usked. I
"I really hnow no reason that I could
give," he nnswered. '
"It would be improper fo.- me to go
into details concerning the election."
Mr. Moore explained, "with the returns
still incomplete. I think whatever
statement is to be made should come ;
later from my -campaign- headquarters. '
I shall keep in close touch with my
campaign manager nil day." J
Mr. Moore was Interviewed as he was i
leaving his home on South Fourth street
with his wife, ready to go out of town.
He refuted to tay where they were
going.
Going to Washington
"I want to spend the morning quirt- j
Iy." he said. "Therefore I would rather
not say where Mrs. Moore and I will ,
go. I don't mind stating, however,
that late this afternoon 1 am going i
down to Washington."
Mr. Moore realized that it, was any
one's fight until the last of the missing
divisions Is heard from. '
"I am still smiling," he said. And '
his appearance bore out his words. He I
looked buoyant fend vigorous, still ,
stropgly in the fight, still convinced
that in the final analysis the nomina- i
tion would be his.
Mr. Moore was up until 2 o'clock
this mnrnlnir receiving the returns from
the election. There was jubilation in
the Moore household and nmomr their i
many friends when the returns at mid- i
.night, and even later, seemed to mnke it
certain that the Independent candidate
would carry the nomination handily.
Later, however, it began to look le.s
certain, until by 0 o'clock it seemed
that, for the time being nt least, Judge
Patterson wan in the lead.
He was up and had breakfast early,
and appeared on the 'street ready for
his little outing with Sirs. Moore, show
ing no signs of the anxieties of last
night and the early hours this morning,
when the returns kept jockeying back
and forth, Indicating now that he was
ahead, and again that the race was
going to his opponent.
Grateful for Splendid Support

mipport given me throughout the city,"
said Mr. Moore. "I am rsneelnllv

George D. Porter said the reduc

was due to the fact that many workmen
Toted the other ticket.
"It was a surprise," he said, "but it
is true that for some reason they failed
to give their support to' Mr.' Moore."
John J, Crout, another Independent
