Hoar's EIectiOn-Forgery Charged.
| BosToN, January 1S:h.-A private dis.
patch from Washington indicates that for.
gerry was committed which resulted in the
election of Senator Hoar. There was pub
lished to-day an alleged dispatch from Con-
gresham Crapo, which was circulated among
his supporters in the Legislature, to the eff ct
that those who voted for him and his frien Is
should vote for Hosr. An intimation to this
effect in sn evening paper caused much CON-
ment, and it is now known that Crapo never
sent out or authorized such dispatch.
WASHINGTON, January 195h.-Rsfcrring to
the statement contsi1ed in Boston news
item last night, to the effect that Hoars Sc
curing the vote of Grape men was the result
of forgery, the National Republican this
morning publishes an interview with Grape,
obtained at 2:30, in which he says: II did
not know there was to be any meeting of my
I F,
and do not know the nature of the dispatch
alluded to. L sent several dispatches. u
But" said the reporter, did you send q
dispatch requesting your friends TO vote for
Hoar 2" Nc" answered Crapo, 81 sent no
such dispatch"
BesToN, January 10 h-Further investiga.
tion of the alleged forgery of the dispatch OF
letter from Crapo announcing his withdrawal
from the Senatorial contest shows that nc
actual telegram or latter from Grape was
shown hencs there was no flrge1y, as stated
in last nights dispatches. There is no ques.
ton, however, OF the fast that a statement
was circulated at the State-houss that such q
communication hsd been received, and it was
generally believed.
