didate, Offers His Services
as Counsel, and Press
Back Up the Contestant.

New York, Nov. 9.-The contest Of
William r. Hearst for the mayorship is
well under way. Interesting and impor.
tant developments are forecasted. The
q board of elections both in Manhattan
and Brooklyn had their hands full this
morning receiving the ballot boxes used
in Tuesdays election from the police.
The ballot boxes were turned over on
the midnight order of Supreme Court
Justice Gaynor. So great was the crowd
in front of the board Of elections build
ings in Manhattan and Brooklyn, when
the patrol wagons arrived with the ball
lot boxes, that the police reserves were
called out to keep order.
Hearst has engaged long array Of
counsel and William M. Wins Republi-
can candidate for the mayoralty, has
offered him his services as counsel with
out compensation.
The Hearst people have over 600 aft
davits of fraud and more will be taken
today, when several warrants for ar
rests win be applied for. Hearst is not
alone in his desire for recount, for the
press and people generally today are
making insistent demands for
thorough investigation Of charges and
recount.
When Commissioner Voorhies arrived
at the Office Of the bureau % elections
this morning he declined To receive the
ballots which had been carted there.
lie stated that the supreme court had
decided that the bureau Of election was
not the custodian OF ballot boxes and
the police were. He, however, sent to
orporation Counsel Dclacey for de-
cision in the matter, and the reply is
expected some time this afternoon.
Meanwhile the ballot boxes are piled
up in front Of the election bureau build
ing on 42nd street, and guarded by the
police.
Hearst is holding conference this
afternoon with legal adviser, regarding
the next step.

tkpectedly and caused much surprise,

Eallot boxes and should not even touch

use. This is the first time such an
7fder was ever issued, as heretofore
he police have always had charge of
