Hearst Wants To Be Mayor.

New YORK, Nov. 8. - Whether
George B. Mcclellan OF William
Randolph Hearst is to be the next
mayor of Greater New York must be
decided by the courts. Full returns
from every election district give Nc.
Clelllan a plurality of 3,435, but this
is so small, only a little more than
one half OF l per cent. of the vast vote
cast, that a recount and re%inspection
OF the ballots might easily sweep it
away and show Hearst the winner. In
his demand for q recount, Mr.. Hearst
is supported by District Attorney VIM.
T. Jerome. Mr.. Jerome said today:
II shall Immediately institute an
investigation Of the frauds ~perpetrat-
ed by Tammany at the polls yester-
day. If the facts warrant, I shall be.
gin immediate prosecution OF those
guilty of crime"
Bird S. Coler, elected president of
the Brooklyn board on the municipal
ownership league ticket, also supports
Mr.. Hearst's contention that he was
rightfully elected. Mr.. Coler said:
"Mr. Hearst has been elected by
10, 900 votes. He has been cheated by
the tremendous frauds OF Tammany
hall. There is no doubt whatever Of
his election. I shall work night and
day to see that justice is done. The
people OF New York have elected him
mayor and it has only been by the
most outrageous, brazen and rotten
fraud that l ever heard OF that Tam
many is trying to keep the high Office
away from him."
The contest over the Office of mayor
will be taken at once to the courts
over the heads of the boards of county
cauvassers. 1t is said evidence has
been secured under which about 1000
election officers could be sent to
prison. At least $4,000 Hearst follow
ers, it is claimed, when they went &c
the polls, found their names had beer
voted on by others.

two. Then Binford got three
more making the score to 3 in
favor of the home team. 1t was
so dark you could not see the
ball at all but Binford went to
bat in the ninth inning but none
of the players could see the ball
consequently hit was made and
the ball lost, Binford scoring
three times. The umpire then
called the game and decided it at
the end of the eight inning in
favor of Cooperstown z to ).
The visitors protested and de-
handed the cup. The board of
arbitration for the fair board de.
cided that inasmuch as the game
was not completed the cup and
game belonged to Cooperstown,
they being under the rules
obliged to decide that way. A
majority of the people would
have liked to see Binford have it
and it is to be regretted that the
game terminated in such an un-
satisfactory manner. We don't
believe in these evening games
and think that the home club are
mostly to blame for the delay.
Had they been on the ground at
6:15 or even fifteen minutes later,
the game would have been fin
ished and there is no doubt but
what the cup would still be rest
ing in its place without any
chance Of protest.

case developed into pneumonia.
Mr.. Albrant was we'll known

The prosperity of a comm unity

The prosperity of a community
depends largely ON the Policy
pursued by. its Bankers. For
5 years the First National Bank
of Cooperstown, has been identi-
fed with the progress of Coop

country. The resources of this
Bankhave been used to promote
and strengthen worthy and re-
7fonsible enterprises in the past
and will continue to do so in the
future. The patronage of de-
positors and worthy borrowers
will be appreciated. Thanking
the public for favors in the past,
we will strive to unite the con-
tinued confidence of our patrons.
We remain yours

The Fair.
Fine Weather Both Days For Thu
Fair Association Stock Show
and Race Meet.

The stock show and race meet
was a decided success, notwith-
standing that the affair had not
been very we'll advertised. The
second day saw a large crowd in
the afternoon and the races were
much better than the day pre-.
vious. One of the biggest draw
ing cards was the fine parade of
blooded stock. It speaks we'll
for the future of this county to
see so much blooded stock ex-
hibited and the interest taken by
our farmers in improving their
horses and cattle. Those having
exhibits worthy of mention in
cattle and horse line are E. G.
Butler and S. Fletcher short

from outside the county who
contributed to the success of the

and their efforts are appreciated.

School Notes.

The Cooperstown high School
has been raised from a third
class to a second class, having
adopted full four years course
of study, and has a prospect
Of being raised to first class be-
fore close Of the school year.
Since the board furnishes free
text books, tablets ink etc. to the
pupils, it has been found neces-
sary to charge all pupils from
out of town a small fee, not for
tuition but to cover expense Of
books and things furnished,
hence each pupil in the grades
from outside the district will be
required to pay to the clerk,
Oscar D. Purinton, a fee of two
dollars and get a receipt from
him at the beginning of each
term before entering school.
This does not apply to the High
School, there being no charge in
the High School.
School will open on the 4th day
of September with the following
staff of teachers. Prof. D. H.
