In the 1915 relocation vote, 128 votes favored moving the national championships to New York.
The vote took place at the annual meeting of the United States National Lawn Tennis Association on February 5, 1915. The proposal passed by 128 votes to 119, ending a long-running debate over where the national championships should be staged.
Supporters of the move argued that New York had the country's largest concentration of tennis clubs, players, and spectators. The championships had been associated with Newport, Rhode Island, but advocates believed a New York location would make the event easier to attend and help the sport grow.
The decision moved the tournament to the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, Queens. The site hosted the championships from 1915 through 1977, although the tournament later moved to the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows. The 128–119 margin is why the alternatives 145, 100, and 119 can be misleading: 119 was the opposing vote, not the vote for relocation.
