His Reply Turns the Tables on
Uurphy's Protest.

George W Morgan. the State Superintendent
of Elections IN the Metropolitan District yes

that went to him on Saturday TO protest against
his order 70 the registry boards to challenge
every person named in his lists who tried TO

objections which had been made at the direction
of Charles F. Murphy. the Tammany leader be-
cause it put it up TO Tammany'' 70 aid him in
carrying out his plans for preventing frauds at
the coming election.
Mr.. Morgan says in his reply that he is de-
termined to see that no person registers or
votes on the name Of any elector who has died.
who has changed his home who for any
other reason is not qualified as an elector in
any particular locality
Mr.. Morgan then went on 20 say that over
seventy thousand voters in Manhattan had
changed their homes in the last year. Their
names and addresses had been placed the
challenge list to prevent illegal registration or
voting them. Similarly the names Of four
teen thousand men who had died in Manhattan
and The Bronx in the last year and the names
OF all men over twenty-one years old in penal
institutions had been placed the list The
names Of fifteen hundred men whose naturalIza-
tion papers have been cancelled had also been
put on the list He said further:
The challenges which have been and will be made
are the result Of a continuous investigation which
has been conducted in the metropolitan election
district by for the last eleven months, and
which. so far as am aware has never before been
undertaken upon such comprehensive plan. A
qualified voter is as certain OF my protection OF
his right to register and vote the person who
attempts to violate the election law vii! be certain
this year Of detection and punishment. In the
complIshment of this result, I shall expect your
cordial cooperation
Governor OdeIl announced yesterday that word
had been received that a gang Of Tammany
hoaters and repeaters had become frightened
and probably would go 70 Richmond and Queens
to vote.
IF this is DONE said the Governor, you may
be sure that they will be quickly picked out
from the legitimate citizens by the same system
which has already prevented many violations OF
the law, and which has resulted in soaring them
out Of New-York''
Deputy Attorney General Collins, representing
Attorney General Cunneen in the metropolitan
district. yesterday advised" Mr.. Morgan that
regarding his power TO call on the inspectors Of
election to challenge persons giving the names
on the challenge lists without his presence or
that OF one OF his deputies. the law does not
contemplate any such condition
Il also OF the openion that the law con-
templates Investigation by you, and that your
challenging or neglect to challenge an applicant
for registration must be based upon the result
Of your investigation" Mr. Collins added 1t is
exactly on evidence brought out by his investi-
cations that Mr.. Morgan has made the chal-
lenges which have so aroused Tammany.
