JUSTICE GAYNoRs ORDER.

JUSTICE GAYNOR'S ORDER.
sJt is ordered that the defendants forthwith
and Immediately upon service Of this order, re-
move and turn over to the Board Of Elections In
the City of New-York each and every box con-
tanning ballots and stubs of ballots USED at the
election held in the city Of New-York on NoveIn-
ber Z 1905, and that on or before noon or NO
yember g. 1905, the defendants file in the Coun-
tv Clerks Offices as required by law. the en-
veIopes containing all void and protested ballots
and tally sheets used at said election.
TT is further ordered that Immediately upon
the service of this order upon the Defendant NC
Adoo, or upon any other. officer of the Police
Denartment of the city of New-York in charge
of the headquarters thereof, a general order Dc
issued to every precinct in the city of New-York
requiring the provisions of the aforegolhs ofue'
to be promptly executed.

Special Term, for motions at the Kings County
Courthouse, on November 9, 1905, at IL noon'
why the foregoing should not be done
1t was reported last night that Tammany IS
printing large number of ballots Identical with
the official ballots cast on Election Day. TO
what use these ballots to be put is not def
niteIy ascertained. It was suggested, however,
that in desperation there might be plan of
substituting the new ballots for those in the
boxes.
It is generally conceded, even by members of
Tammany Hall, that official recount OF the
ballots as cast at the polls will show the election
of Mr. Hearst by a substantial majority. In the
substitution of new ballots of course, the Nc
Clellan ticket would receive the bulk of the
votes The law committee Of the Municipal
League and the attorneys who have been en-
gagged to prosecute the fight for a recount have
taken measures to prevent any such plan from
being carried into effect.
1t was reported late that ballot boxes had been
found on the ferry slips at Staten Island. This
could not be verified.

SHORT LIVED
SENSATION
Attempt To Question Dr.. frances
Title To Seat In State Senate

More or less of Il stir was made in p1-
litical circles by II statement in the Balti-
more sun e; Saturday. to the effect that
teh seat of DR.. J. |. France, State
Senator elect from Cecil. would be con-
tested by ais opPGEvnt. former Senate"
Austin l.. CrothcrS The ground of the
r.,'t"St was said 10 hc DIR. Frances i'll
eligibility because of non-rcSidcnce in
the county for one ycal previous to his
election az is duly prescribed. 1t was
said to be susceptible Of proof that Dr.
France had becn Il I">iGcnt of Blltmorn
for several years pest a.S Il practicing
physician there: that he 80 declared him
self when he took ont his marriage Ii
ccnSe in 1903. and when registering as II
physician. in Baltimore: that he pays
taxes in Baltimore hut none in Cecil
county; that he stated when nominated
that he intended to make Cecil county
his permanent home but moved back to
Baltimore after the election.
DIR. France claims that he has been a
registered voter here for eight years past
and has not forfeited his residence in
Cecil. As said elsewhere. it would be
difficult and probably impossible to show
that he has not been resident of Cecil
since his marriage ut least. although he
may have spent part of the year in Bal
timore and part at Port Deposit.
Mr.. CrothcrS. however, declines to be-
come a party to the proceeding and. if
any action is taken looking to the Gust
ing of DIR. France. it must proceed from
persons acting in behalf of the defeated
political party at the recent election or
from the Senate itself, which is the
judge of the qualifications of its mem
belS
1t is probably safe to assume that Dr.
Frances right to the seat will not he
questioned. but if it should be- his sup
portcrS are confident that he will be
fully able to establish his eligibility.
