PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 6.-There Is no
first made in these dispatches, as to the DEM
ocratic scheme of electfnR Hancock by
throwing out the vote of New York on the
ground Of fraud and intimidation by Federal
election officers In certain wards of New
York City. The delay Is caused only by un-
certainty as to the way the vote of the Pa
cifc States has been cast, since without the
aid Of either California or Nevada nothing
could be accomplished Meanwhile the
public mind has been prepared for con-
test by the CRY of fraud raised in
New York, and Barnum and Kelly have not
admitted Hancock's defeat for a moment
The matter is In the hands Of eminent Demo-
cratic lawyers, and it there is the least hope
the fight will be made at given signal, and
the word passed along the line for general
demand of the Demo cracE that
HANCOCK SHALL BE SEATED.
There have been messages between New
subject every day since Wednesday, and to-
day Dan DQughertY, who nominated Han-

by invitation to take part In the general
conference Of Democratic leaders. The COM
mon remark among well-informed Democrats
is that Haneock will be inaugurated II John
Kelly has the pluck to make the fight, and he
has been given to understand that this Is tho
only way in which he can redeem himself
