Democrat Robert F. Wagner, Jr., 43-year-old New Deal-Fair Deal son of the late US Senator Wagner, was elected Mayor of the country's big- gest city by a landslide vote today.
Democrat Thomas B. Stanley won the election for Governor of Virginia tonight as the organisation of Senator Harry Byrd rallied powerful support to meet its sternest challenge in nearly 30 years.-United Press.
