The Assembly Committee on Elections went to
Bordentown this morning to count the ballots in the
contested election case OF Carter (Rep) against
Murphy Dem.) Mr.. Murphy holds the seat at
present. When the committee arrived the ballot
boxes were sent for, but the Democratic officials
refused to deliver them, on the advice of Demo-
cratic politician of Hudson County. The ground
assumed was that the committee was not acting
under any resolution of the House aud had no re-
spOnsbe authority for examining the ballots. This
is alleged to be Democratic move to prevent Mr.:
Carter from voting on the Senatorshlp. tie would
probably vote for General Sewell. The Assembly
