and fraud, but the final explanation showed that II
was merely the result OF blunder. When the
night police force went duty the men were
ordered to send all to police headquarters
But when these men relieved at midnight
they neglected to transmit these orders TO the
men who relieved them and the consequence was
that the returns after midnight were in many cases
sent the precinct station houses, where they re-
mained until 3 o'clock. Then they were found. and
then the change began, but IL was O'Clock before
1t began to dawn on any that the increased
majority in Jersey City and the decreased MAORI
ties in Hoboken and North Hudson would turn the
scale ard convert the seeming Republican defeat
