WILL RESIST RECOUNT.
Tiger Expected to Shoe Its Clazcs
an Court To-day.

Tarnmany lawyers are expected to make vigor-
GUS opposition to-day to the confirmation Of
the orders 70 open the ballot boxes OF five cleo
ton districts in which, 1t is asserted by lawyers
representing William r. Hearst a recount Is
necessary to determine the legal vote If the
opening OF the ballot boxes in five districts is
allowed by Justice Amend after the argument
to-day Taulmany leaders fear that applications
for recounts in hundreds of other districts will
follow.
The recount in five districts is demanded on
discrepancies such as are being found in many
other districts in the canvass in progress. In
the I'd Election District OF the 9Th Assembly Dis
trct the recount is asked because the tally
sheet showed 3S2 votes counted, while the return
Of the ballot clerks shows that only 379 votes
were cast. In the 10th Election District Of the
I'd Assembly District there is a discrepancy of
"a votes. In three other districts the discrepan.
cies are, respectively, three. three and seven
votes
In the official canvass at the City Hall yes
terday the comparison OF tally sheets with re-
turns reached the 18th Assembly District. In
the 18th and 18th districts many discrepancies
were found, but the changes in the vote for Mr..
Hearst thus indicated were slight. The COM
parison Of returns with tally sheets In the 18th
district showed that there were many gIaring
errors committed by election officers in Charles
F. Murphy's district 1t looked as If a recount
would be necessary in every election district of
the Assembly district.
The 9th Election District a record breaker
for inaccura cies and impossible figures. The
tally sheet was mixed that any kind Of totals
could be made from II.
Lawyers engaged in the task OF inspecting
void and protested" ballots before Justice
Giegerich in the Supreme Court yesterday had
so many arguments that the progress slow,
Justice Giegerich complained that there too
many changes OF counsel, saying:
I make a ruling at night and In the morning
find a new counsel who has something 20 OBJ
feet to. In consequence I continually called
upon to explain the ruling made. In fact, there
is new attorney at the morning afternoon and
night sessions and l am laboring under great
difficulty. This morning attorney took one
hour of my time trying to convince me that
certain thing was right while everybody else
agreed it wrong. / am becoming tired of
this and the investigation will have TO proceed
more rapidly.
Justice Giegerich decides against most of the
"void" ballots marked for his opinion. He in
sists that the marking must be in plain con-
forrnity with the law, the ballot cannot be
counted. In the examination of ballots before
Justice Giegerich thus far Mr. Hearst has made
no appreciable gain in votes.

W4NT DE VERON4 OUT.
Brooklyn League Also Asks Water
Supply Officials Examination.

After 2 warm session. in which Herman A Metz,
Sontrollerelect. made desperate attempt TO save
the faces OF his associates the executive COM
1nittee of the Brooklyn League last night adopted
q resolution calling on the Mayor to dismiss from
Office I u. De Verona, chief engineer of water
supply for the greater city. Another resolution
was adopted instructing the law committee Of the
league to take the proper proceedings to get the
examination under cath Of John T. Oakley, Com
missioner Of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity;
Thomas r Farrell. deputy commissioner for Brook
1yn of the same department I. N. De Varona and
such other officials of the department the COM
Inittee may desire to have examined in regard to
the failure Of the department to furnish ade-
quate water supply for Brooklyn.
As soon as the meeting had been called TO order
by James McKeen. ex-District Attorney Hiram r.
Steele. chairman of the Water Committee, present
ed the majority report Of the committee, which
recited at length and in great detail the short
cornings Of Mr. De Verona as chief engineer Of
water supply and ended with this resolution
Your committee respectfully recommends that
this report be approved, and that special com
se mite be he 69 S pr tb f9s 5o hf a
Water Supply, and that such committee be au-
Ieeqe the he Fenov II Of T n De Verona and that
competent man be placed IN charge OF the @ BTo2A-
lyn water supply with as little delay as clrculh-
stances Will permit.
Before a vote could be taken Alfred T. White,
eE-Commissioner of Public Works for Brooklyn,
on his feet present minority report, which.
II subsequently developed he was alone in sub
mitting. It was an explanation OF the lack of
water in Brooklyn and a general "whitewashing"
of Mr.. De Verona. Along with this there was some
pretty criticism OF the other members of the
water committee of the league and general ac-
cIsation of partisan politics in of the dofngs
of the organization This criticism was hotly re-
sented by Nj. Whites colleagues, and J. HaTnpden
Dougherty. ex-Commissoner of Water Supply. Gas
and Electricity made an extended argument in
favor of the majority report.
The chief burden OF Mr.. Dcughertys complaint
against Mr.. De Verona, and the point upon which
Mr. Metz afcrWard laid particular stress, was that
AEr. De Verona had not applied to Mr.. Dougherty
the Brooklyn League for help against obstacles
which had presented themselves IL his endeayors
20 increase the Brooklyn water supply.

Meriwether, respectively, and Leigh Noyes, the
timekeeper, also corroborated the incidents re-
lated by McKittrick.
TREATMENT OF BRANCH.
Earl W. Prichard. recalled to tell ali the cir
cumstances connected with Branch's treatment
after the fight said that Branch had taken
a hot shower bath and been treated with towels
soaked with hot water and applied to his head
and body. Branch, he said, had complained
about soreness in one arm and parts or MS
head, but had talked naturally about the hight
and other affairs. Prichard noticed some move
ment of the leg when Branch was asleep, but
had thought nothing about it.
The witness retired at a. m and arose at
$50 He saw that Branch was unconscious and
one leg and arm had convulsive movement.
and he informed the medical autnorfues
Prichard said that when Branch hrst returned
to his room in his weakened condition he had
suggested drink of whiskey as stimulant,
but Branch refused it, saying he had promised
his father not to taste intoxicants until ne was
twenty-five years old.
Tomorrow the medical officers including DR.
J. NJ Ffnney of Johns Hopkins University who
operated on Branch, will probably be called TO
testify,

TO PREVENT CORRUPT PRACTICES.
Associations Committees at Work on Bills
to Purify Elections.

Ex-Mayor Low. who is chairman OF the executive
committee OF the Association to Prevent Corrupt
Practices at Elections said last evening that he
knew of no movement within the committee or
within the association to ask for the appointment
of an investigating committee Of the legislature to
inquire into the entire subject OF campaign funds
used in the state It had been suggested that such
a legislative committee could supplement the work
OF the insurance investigating committee by prob
ing the work OF political organizations that raise
campaign funds and discovering the methods for
both the raising and the disbursing or such funds
The Association TO Prevent Corrupt Practices at
Elections however, is aiming TO obtain legisla-
