From an early hour yesterday morning
until after midnight hundreds of ANXIOUS
politicians crowded about the Registrars
Office to learn the result of the semi-official
count of municipal ballots. Great inter-
est was manifested in the fights that were
close, but the accountants were kept so
busy with their work that no information
was given out until near midnight, at
which time tabulated statement was
issued showing the election of Hebbard,
Cook, Dunno and Hunt as Superior
Judges.
Judge Hebbard received 80, 765 votes, be-
ing in the lead of all others. Dunne's
vote was 23,S77 and Cooks 23,S01. while
Hunt got but 16,S9S, Murasky crowding
him with 1906.
1t became apparent early in the day that
Broderick had won the fight for Auditor
and Widber that for Treasurer. The clos
est fig ht was in the Twenty-third Senator
ial District, where Tyrrell came within %
of defeating Hall. He alleged fraud in the
Thirty-first Assembly District and de-
manded a recount.

People compl aimed of the slowness of
tie ngurlng, tho ugh the clerks all worked
as fast as possible. There were 250 long
columns of figures to add and nearly S0,-
600 sheets of figures to handle.
1t is believed by the Registrar that the
cost of this election will exceed 300, 900,
though considerable money was saved in
clerk hire and On bills for rubber stamps.
| The bill this year was $172 for stamps.
against $500 for last election.
There was much excitement about
o'clock when Deputy Registrar McGlsde
rushed into the police Office and ordered
warrants for all of the mem bers of the
| election board from the Thirteenth Pre-
cinct of the Thirty-third District. It was
known that they left their headquarters at
| 9 CLOCK and when four hours had passed
there were prone suspicious of fraud and
| the Registrar had visions of foul play.
| Chief Crowley telephoned to Captain
| Spillane to put all members of the board
under arrest. but before the captain could
get started out the board appeared. The
| explanation of the delay was that An error
| had been committed the night before by
/ placing some of the returns in the wrong
envelopes. The board could not open
| them until all were present, and the time
was put in hunting for the absent members.
| The totals on the semi-offlcial municipal
count were not finally tabuiated until
after O'CLOCK this morning. The fgure
| complete are as follows:
