CHICAGO ELECTION COMMISSION.
ERS COUNT BALLOTS.
I'm CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT
After Which They Remain in State of
Siege, Protected by Battalion of
Police-current Rumor That Han
ecy Would Get Deputies After Men
Is Denied.

Chicago, March 3.-In spite ofJudge
Hanecys Injunction in the Lorimer-
Durborrow contest, and in the face OF
threats of contempt proceedings, the
election commissioners yesterday
opened aud counted the ballots cast
in one precinct of the sixth congress
sional district, in the election of last
November. Their action constituted,
in the opinion Judge Carter, by whose
advice the injunction was violated, a
technical vindicatiOn of the election
law. The count finished, the election
commissioners remained in a state OF
siege throughout the remainder of the
day, with the police massed inside and
outside of the board rooms, awaiting
an expected attack by the Lorimer
forces.
Late in the day rumors gained cur
rency that Judge Hanecy had issued
a writ impounding the ballots and or
dering the vault in which they were
locked seized by force of deputies,
which was said to be awaiting his or
ders. The rumor created intense ex-
citement throughout the city hall ana
caused Chief of Police O'Neill to mass
several hundred policemen on the
stairs and i'm the halls leading 10 the
board room. No person was allowed
to pass in or out of te rooms. While
these preparations were being madt
in the city hall, Hanecy proceeded
with the hearing of his calendar in an
adjoining building. He denied having
issued the writ in question, but de-
clined TO say what he intended doing.
