xNeW IoFhs NOV. lb.--Sometnlu8 or q sensation was created in Justice Davie'a
 branch of the Supreme Court this aftsr- noon when John Krup. indicted for Illegal voting in the recent muntctpA1 election, failed to appear for pIeadfnE and his attorneys expressed tRnor6nce as to his whereabouts. Earlier iu the day Krnp's release had been secured under increased ball. s5.ooo cash hondE
 being filed.
 State Attorney General Mayer, who was in court. was indignant at the turn of affairs. Tonight Attorney General Mayer made public this state ment:
 Every effort will be made to aseer- tain who put up the s5.000 ball and who employed counsel to defend Krup. The failure of Krup to appear in court WAS. as fragrant . defiance of law as over heard of. The disappearance of Krup Is the best confirmation of the state
 ment made by me In court urging that his bail be increased believe there were reasons apart from reasons of
 his own why Krup did not appear" Justice Davis declared the $5.0oo ball Krup's case was reached at : o'clock but at the request of counsel, was postponed for an hour. At 2 o'clock there was still no sign Of the defendant fHis lawyers, Abraham Levy and former Deputy Attorney General Charles F. lsDillon. said they had left him but
 short time before and lie had assured them he would be In court. Attorney General Mayer. moving for forfeiture of ball. declared no was not surprised
 at the turn of affairs.
 "If this defendant has Iefts tnwslss de < clared the Attorney GeneraL T know with whom he was last seen aud VIII
 know how to proceed thought
 somebody must have been greatly In
 terssted In Krup to put np a ss,00D ball for nina tsist to secure his liberty for . The original faIIy sileets in New Yprk's recent Haay orally slsetion wsxs csnvasssrs, " M Hsarst.s lawyers protested eight Of tho f7rst thirteen sheets taken from the envelopes be- cause they were found to diner from the returns on which the count elects ing Mcclellan Mayor was based:
 was found to have seven more votes than were counted for him. Tn the thirteen election district Of the firsk
 assembly district, the tally sheets showed that; twenty-nine votes wera
 missing from the published count It these uncounted ballots had been cast. Couldn't Touch sheets.
 The Hoard of canvassers allowed no
 one but themselves to handle the tally sheets. Counsel for both Mir. Hearst and Mayor Mcclellan were allowed to
 read all the sheets without touching them. Comparisons were confined t0 the votes cast for Mayor. Comptroller and President of the Board of Alder men.
 One election district. the Twelfth. of the Second Assembly, District, in
 which William T. Jerome was not cred- tied with a single vote. was discovered
 during the investigation today. Ac-
 cording to tho tally sheet of this dis
 trict. Mir. Jerome received 57 votes, but he was credited with none. The Board had decided not to in-
 clude the Jerome votes in the canvass but his attorney requested that the office of District Attorney be included and secured an order from the Supreme Court to show cause tomorrow why thls should not be done.
 A surprising mistake was found in the Nineteenth Election District of the Second Assembly District. The in- spectors' returns in this district had credited no votes to Ford. the Munici- pal Ownership League candidate for Comptgoller, while cavanaugh, Social ist candidate. received 62 votes. Tue tally sheet showed that Ford should
 have received the 62 ballots credited to Cayanaugh, while the Socialist can didate received none.
