[By Associated Pressl

New York, Nov. 9.-The contest ov-
err the mayoralty election, inaugurated
by William Randolph Hearst, muni-
cipal ownership candidate, developed
interesting and spectacular features
today.
For 10 hours boxes containing 600,-
900 ballots cast in last Tuesdays cleo
tion choked the streets in the vicinity
of the headquarters of the board OF
elections in SIxtn avenue, between
Forty-irst and Forty-second streets.
The ballot boxes had been gathered
during the night by the police and
conveyed in patrol wagons to the elec-
tion boards headquarters. There the
officials refused to receive them, and
the police, acting under certain or
ders signed by Justice Gaynor, COM
pelling 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.
Mandamus Issues.
Apprised of the situation, attorneys
for Hearst appeared before Justice
Dickey of the state supreme court and
secured from him an order compelling
John R. VOORHEES,, president of the
board of elections, to accept the bal
lots. The order was served promptly
and the ballots then were receipted
for by the election board. Under
strong guards the patrol wagons con-
tanning the boxes were driven to var
ious warehouses in this city and
Brooklyn, where the ballots were stor-
ed subject to orders of the election
board.
Attorney General Julius Mayer had
an important conference this after
noon with District Attorney Jerome,
after which it was announced that
the attorney generals Office would re-
main open until midnight, tonight.
| Superintendent of Elections Morgan
appeared before Mayer and Jerome
with six of his deputies and laid his
evidence before the prosecuting Off
cials.
| Another feature of the contest to-
day was the announcement by the
| Citizens union that it would join
the forces investigating the charges
of fraud and wrong doing at Tuesdays

Vespae. It was terrible, the swift charge of that winged battalion of the air. I heard howls of pain below me, and the thunder of rushing feet. The horses were rearing and plunging, the men striking with their hats. I heard D'ri shouting and laughing at his window.
 Give 'em hell, ye little blue jevils!" he yelled; and there was all evidence that they understood him.
 Then, again, every man of us opened his window and fired a volley at the scurrying mass.
 One horse, rearing and leaping on his hind legs, came down across the back of another, and the two fell heavily in rolling, convulsive heap. One, as if blinded, bumped a tree, going over on his withers, all fours flashing in the air Some tore off in the thickets, as unmanageable as the wild horse. More than half threw their riders. Not man of them pulled trigger: they were busy enough, God knows. Not one of them could have hit the sky with any certainty. I never saw such a torrent of horsehair and red caps
 ''Whut! Been on the back O one O 'em hosses?" said D'ri. telling of it a long time after. D ruther O been shet up n barrel with lot O cats n rolled down hill. Good deal better fer my health, an d a luked more like a human bein' when I come out. Them fellers-they did mt luk fit t 'sociate with nuthin CT nobody when We led 'em up t the house-nut one on 'em.'
