Board of Elections Compelled to Accept
 the Ballots. !
 New York, Nov. 9.--The contest over the mayoralty election. inaugurated by William Randolph Hearst, the muni- cipaI ownership candidate, developed interesting and spectacular features to- . day. + . N For twelve hours nearly 100000 ballots cast in last Tuesdays election choked the streets in the vicinity of the head quarters of the board of elections in Sixth avenue between fist and 42d streets. The ballot boxes had been gathered during the night by the police and conveyed in patrol wagons to the election boards headquarters. Arriv- ing there the ballots were refused by the officials. The police, acting under a court order, signed by Justice Gaynor, compelling the police authorities to turn the ballots over to the election board, had nothing to do but remain outside and await the pleasure of the election officials.
 Appraised of the situation the ottorney for MT. Hearst appeared before Justice Diekey, of the state supreme court, and secured from him an order compelling. 5Joohn R. Voorhis, president of the board of elections, to accept the ballots The order was served promptly and the ballots then were receipted for by the election board. Under strong guards the patrol wagons containing the sev- eraI thousand boxes were driven to va- rious warehouses in this city and Brooklyn, where the ballots were stored subject to the orders of the election board. E< <, &g*S

ALDERMEN LEAVE CHAMBER
VOTING MACHINES COMMITTEE
 WITHOUT QUORUM.

t ] j F E
 Committee Can Make No Report Mon- day Night-Strong Opposition to the
 ResoIution-Lack of Secrecy of Ball
 lot and Inability to Check ManipuIa-
 'tion Urged Against Thcm--some of
 Views O6ered.
 Owing to the departure, during the progress of the hearing, of two of the members Of the special committee of the board of aldermen on voting ma chimes, the public hearing on the reso- lution, referred to that committee, call ing upon the board of finance to ap- propriate a sum of money for the pur- chase of voting machines to equip tho city, became . purely informal expres- sion ofiopinions. The committee, owing to the lack of a quorum so caused, will be unable. to make any report to the board of aldermen at the special meet ing next Monday evening.
 When the hearing was opened Alder men Johnson, Courtney, Hotchkiss and Langley were present. After the hear ing of those who favored the resolution had been completed, and the opposition was being heard, Alderman Hotchkiss was excused. Just afterwards Alder man Langley arose and left the cham Der. Chairman Johnson asked him if he would return and he answered that he would not. This left no quorum Alderman Hamilton appeared shortly after the announcement that the com mittee could make no report through lack of a quorum. It was left. to those present whether the hearing be contin- ued or not. They decided to continue. Shortly after this Alderman Courtney, the mover of the resolution in the board, left the hearing.
 Ex-Aldermen Minor and Donovan were the only two speakers who ap- peared in favor of the machines at the opening of the hearing. MT. Donovan declared that we should have the ma chimes, as the people were demanding them.
 Frederick W. Orr was the first speak CT when the opposition was declared in order. He said that he had come to the conclusion that the present method of voting in this city is by far the safest, the most in keeping with the idea of a secret ballot and the most superior in most respects of any suggested. He thought it would be urlwise for the com- mittee to recommend machines when the city has so many more pressing needs.

CORNELL MEN CELEBRATE.
Students Observe Kings Birthday-Aa-
 dressed by Actor Willard.

Ithaca, N. r, Nov. s.-King Edwards birthday anniversary was observed at Cornell to-day by an address to the student body by E. S. Willard, the Eng fish actor. After paying a glowing tribute to his sovereign, which was heartily applauded and cheered by Eng fish and Australian students, Mr. Will lard gave the students sound advice, saying that, whether they are winning in football or pursuing their studies, earnestness is the first requirement.
 In regard to his profession, he said the theater has been in a bad state be- cause it has been too lightly considered by the public. He advocated the hoot- ing of vulgarity and the portrayal of vice, which, he said, is too often en- couraged, because it is passed off with a smile and sometimes is even applaud ed. Too much seriousness, he said, was also bad for the theater. .-e .e
