New did not have a majority of the ballots. To determine the winner, the candidate who placed last (Robinson) was removed from consideration, and his second choice ballots were added to the totals for New and Watson. With this change, New had a majority.

Harry S. New - 97,118; second choice for Watson was 13,683; for Robinson was 10,499
James E. Watson - 89,847; second choice for New was 12,437; for Robinson was 6,151
Arthur N. Robinson - 23,835; second choice for New was 3,981; for Watson was 3,273
