A NEW RECOUNT.
West Hoboken Freeholder
Candidates Trying to
Reverse the Election
Returns.
THE MAIN ONE STILL WEARY
Nothing of Importance Turned Up
in One Hoboken Ward
Completed.
THE MAIN ONE STILL WEARY

New life was infused into the recount
proceedings this morning by the begin
ming of the recount of the vote cast for
Freeholders in West Hoboken. Charles
Eiehhorn. Depubliean, and Richard j.
Lynch. Democrat. were elected. Edward
T. Boehler, Democrat, was defeated by
five votes only and he applied for d re-
count. George A. Chambers, the defeat
ed Republican, had majority of Al
against him, and the Republican leaders
thought that as long as the ballots were
going TO be recounted he might as well
have the benefit OF any advantage it
might be possible 10 get out of it, SO an
application for a recount was filed in his
behalf.
The recount was conducted at the table
presided over by Augustus A. Rich, mem
ber of the County Board of Elections,
and all the morning there was crowd Of
interested people from West Hoboken
around the table.
Ex-Judge Thomas Noonan, who filed
the contest in behalf of Boehler, sat at
the table and scrutinized every ballot.
The Republican interests were guarded by
Frederick Frambach, Jr., and James Cor
don. Messrs. Noonan and Gordon sat at
the table and embraced the slightest op-
portunity to object to a ballot. and it
was not long before there was in front
of them large pile of disputed ballots
to be referred to Judge Lippincott for
his decision. Frank Higgins sat beside
Judge Noonan and also examined each
ticket carefully.
As stated in "The Jersey City News
on Saturday the Republican leaders have
abandoned the idea of dropping the re-
count for Sheriff and Surrogate and it
continued its weary, monotonous way
this morning.
The first ward completed this morning
was the First of Hoboken with this re-
suit

Thirty-six ballots were disputed More
of them were Democratic and the objec-
tons raised to them are of the most
trivial nature.
The Freeholder fight in West Hobok en-
went on with great vigor, and it took the
entire morning to get through the First
TO the manner in which those represent
ing the contestants and the elected scru-
tinized the ballots. Every conceivable
pretext was seized upon to dispute a
ballot. Some which had pastors upon
them which projected beyond one or both
sa1Es of the baflots were objected TO and
marked for Justice Lippancott's decision
In this way Is Baldwin ballots % Heller
