Ardolph Loges Kline Republican John P. Mitchel Independent Pre-consolidation: Post-consolidation: Pre-consolidation: Post-consolidation: An election for Mayor of New York City was held in November 1913.

In the race to succeed him, Republican John Purroy Mitchell, running on an independent fusion ticket, defeated Democratic judge Edward E. McCall and Socialist newspaper editor Charles Edward Russell in a landslide.

As the 1913 mayoral election approached, the Citizens Municipal Committee of 107 set out to find a candidate that would give New York "a non-partisan, efficient and progressive government."

They were assisted in this endeavor by the Fusion Executive Committee, led by Joseph M. Price of the City Club of New York.

During his campaign, Mitchel focused on modernizing and fighting corruption in the city government.
