He Evidently Lost to Shnrkey BY Pre-
arranged Foal--What He Says.
New York, November %. The Her
aid tomorrow will print the follow
ing:
In the rage vented yesterday by de-
voices OF sport there were few pleas
ant words, and those were all for Hon
est John Kelly, who, yoicing the public
belief that James j. Corbett lost to
Thomas Sharkey, by a pre-arranged
foul, declared all bets off. But Kelly
could not give back or order restored
the S47,S76 that was paid into the pock-
cts of the men who managed the LenCX
Athletic Club Tuesday night, hence
the expressed regrets because of Nc
Veys untimely interference. 1t is now
known that men in New York who had
been betting their money on Corbett
sent three kilograms westward One
went to Seattle. Wash, another was
sent to San Francisco, and the third
to Portland, Ore. Each telegram was
to supporter of Corbett and read:
Arrangements changed. Hedge your
money"
Thousands and thousands of dollars
were sent to western cities to be placed
on Sharkey.
Corbett> was seen at his home last
night. He did not look as if he had
been in battle with one of the heav-
lest men in the pugilistic world, as
there was not mark on him.
Really, | hardly know what to say
about this affair" he remarked. mo
one is SO depressed as l am at the
action of McVey, which lost me the
fight. | have been half daffy since
Kelley gave the decision against me.
Cold chills have been running up and
down my back at the thought that I
had the fight won and then lost in
such a manner. Luck has been all
against me OF late, but it is bound to
change"
But, Jim, many think you yourself
was one of those in the job and bet
on Sharkey,' was remarked.
IF there was anything wrong do
you think I would have rushed over
to Kelley and tell him to declare all
bets off? In fact, the first one to yell
to Kelley to make such decision was
George Considine. If we had been in
any skin deal and had bet on Sharkey
do you think that we would have
wanted all bets declared OFF,"
DO you think McVey sold you out?"
Il cannot believe that he did. We
have been too close in our relations.
l can't see how McVey could have lost
his head, but something was the mat
ter anyway. If he had been bought to
throw me, he evidently realized that
the time had come for action, for an
other stiff blow would have defeated
Sharkey.
1.-The fight ended so mysteriously
that really I am in a trance. I would
be ashamed to tell some people what
| do think. If some cry fake, | can't
help it. The crowd can best judge as
to that. / never fought better in my
life than this time against Sharkey."

The proceedings again clearly DEM
onstrated the fact that the object Of
the recount is not to be fair, but to
count out the Democratic candidate
and elect Davis. AS a result of the
juggling of the ballots thus far 1853
Dunlevy votes have been thrown out
and SO Davis votes, a net gain for
Davis of 10S votes. Dunlevy still has
SO majority but no difficulty will be
experienced in wiping this out, if the
same methods are followed.
Yesterday 25 or 80 Democratic tickets
upon which the lines were plainly
drawn were excluded on the pretext
that the lines did not reach for enough
toward the top. There was about an
equal number in which Dunlevy's name
was properly written which were re-
jected because the lines w-re not
proper.
In Liberty district 35 ballots were
found properly crossed, but they were
rejected on the claim that the crosses
were made too high. All were SINH
larly marked, and the attorneys for Mr..
Dunlevy offered to prove that they
were made by the poll clerk. Twenty
Democratic tickets were thrown out
upon which the lines were drawn to
within one-siXteenth of an inch of the
top of the ticket. A number of straight
Republican tickets, exactly like them,
were counted.
About twenty tickets were thrown
out upon which Dunlevys initial was
written u" instead of 81. W." Five
were rejected because Dunlevy's name
was spelled incorrectly. Twenty-Five
tickets were thrown out in Cameron
district because voters scratched the
name and in substituting Dunlevy for
Davis neglected to change the resi-
dence. 1t was apparently done by the
poll clerk
Republicans who voted for Dunlevy

The second day of the recount OF the
Marshall county ballots was more IN
teresting than ever at Moundsville yes
terday. and there were more people
present The board, following ON the
rules laid down, threw out another
large batch of ballots, which so lar
has resulted in a net loss to Dunlevy
Of 1OS. His majority in the first place
was only Ill, and at this rate II IS
very likely that Davis wilVAaye good
round majority instead OF the Demo-
ratio candidate.

ic attorneys moved recount for Dotn
Bassett and Mercer, and this matter
will be decided later. The same at
torneys also moved to have the COM
