 NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-A squad of over forty delinquent inspectors clamored for ad- mittance to the room of the aldermanic com- mittee on corrected returns this morning. Mingling with them and scattered about the aldermanic meeting room in which the can wasting of the city vote was being done, not the same who were on duty yesterday, but new set of men. Officers in uniform were numerous and kept the crowd of spec tators, which was larger than on previous days, in order. The reading of the returns from the fninth assembly district the opening of the days session and proceeded smoothly, only few trifing CT TOTS or omissions being discovered. When the eighteenth election district was reached the first brush of the day took place. There had been a slip deposited in the electoral box with 'tGrover Cleveland" written upon it and no names of electors. The result was that Grover Cleveland's name was recorded on the tabulator's sheets and opposite credit of E'one," The dreary drone of the canvass was not broken until the twentieth election dis trict was reached. A regular Republican electoral ticket had been cast and on the bottom was written "Blaine and Logan" After some discussion the ticket was recorded defective. The chair announced that on the thirty-frst and last election dis trict of the ninth assembly district only the poll clerks list was at hand and the entire district was consequently referred to the committee on corrected returns. The dis trict was completed at 1908, having con 41o canvass In the tenth assembly district Os- wald Ottendorfer, Democratic elector, was scratched ten votes In the eleventh assem- bly, district there were no material changes.
 The committee on corrections met in the Governors room. The first assembly dis trict was completed without any change. In the twenty third election district of the sec ond assembly district defective electoral ballot was reported The ballot was an ordi- nary ballot for the Democratic electors, but it had been cut in two and four names in the middle were cut out and then the ballot had been pasted together. The committee decided to count the names of the thirty-two electors on the ticket The third and fourth and fifth assembly districts were completed with minor alterations not affecting the totals as before reported. The sixteenth election district of the sixth assembly district had four defective electoral votes. The returns were passed without change. In the twen- tieth election district there was one defective ballot. The ballot had been cut down the middle of one side, thereby cutting in two eighteen names of the Democratic electors. On motion of MT. Brodsky eighteen names of Democratic electors were added to the total vote.
 At the close of to-day's canvass in New York county fourteen assembly districts out of twenty-four had been finished, showing no material change from unofficial figures.
 The Mail and Express says: In this city the canvassers to-day went through the re- turns from the ninth assembly district. They gave both Blaine and Cleveland increases over the press returns but the balance was in favor of Blaine, whose net gain over his opponent in the district was n votes, which, added to his previous gains, shows a total of 421 This the Democratic watchers claimed had been figured upon and did not affect the plurality claimed fol Cleveland. A reporter for the Mai and Express this afternoon sought to learn from Inspector Byrnes the object oi the presence of himself and other detectives at the canvass E'We are not here for fun you may depend" he said That was all tht satisfaction he would give enquirers. I leaked out during the day that the detective had been placed on duty at the instance O District Attorney Olney. Private detective are also on duty about the rooms. They ar said to be there to prevent the consummatiol of any unholy alliance between the Tamman, and Republican supervisors to the disadvan tage of Cleveland. Shortly after o'clock an elderly gentle man in old fashioned clothes was escorted in | to the room. NHe became interested in tn proceedings and critically surveyed his SUI roundings He was Dr. Pierce, who ha ] haunted the Democratic headquarters eve since the campaign opened giving the Ns tional committee points" as to how th
 campaign ought to be conducted. His sue | gestions were always received in good pal because he is the brother-in-law of Governc Hendricks, the Democratic vice-presidenti'
 candidate
 Hon. John E. Brodsly, who in the intere of the Republican National committee recen ly figured out 426 more votes for Blaine
 this city than given in the United Press r
 turns, has been watching the count of u
 New York board of canvassers. He said t
 day that he did not think Cleveland's vo
 would be reduced here over 200 votes al
 that there was no further use in attempti1
 to overcome the plurality of 1000 to 1,2
 for Cleveland in this State.
