Especial Dispatch TO The Ebenlrag Sdr.l
NEW YORK, Nov. 2o.-There is good deal of
dissatisfaction expressed at the conduct of the
officers having charge OF the election returns
from New York, Brooklyn and Westchester
county. The board of canvassers have met
twice and adjourned, the last time adjourning
till Monday next. They have returns from
every other place In the state, but could not get
those from the points above-named. They
asked for them, but were told that
they were not ready. Meantime the
leading democrats claim to have already Sc
ured over ten thousand af1idavIts, showing
frauds at the polls. It is said that the returns
Will be handed TO the board In about a week
and that the delay and the work OF collecting
