Jerome Charges Fraud.
According to the Tribune fraud charges
were made last night by supporters OF
Hearst and Jerome. Definite charges that
ohicial counts of votes i'm the sixth and
eighteenth assembly districts had beer
withheld were made az Jerome's head
quarters. Assistant District Attorney Rand
with several attaches Of the district at
torneys ONCE went post haste 10 the sixth
and eighteenth districts and found tha
ballots counted at o'clock had not beer
oficially reported. An assistant distric
attorney was sent 20 police headquarteri
to set aid from Commissioner McAdoo
The Jerome men say the most fiagran
frauds have been perpetrated to try I,

The honor Of Tammany is at stake"
Analysis of Vote.
An analysis OF the vote for mayor show
that Hearst polled a little more than 5000,
votes. and that apparently these votes wer
drawn almost eanally from the Democrat
and republican parties. McClellan's yot
this year was about n.O0o smaller than hi
vote OF two years ago. while WINS vo,
was about $500 smaller than Lows vot
OF two years ago These figures. hoWevei
may not be entirely accurate in view
the fact that humber OF republicans vo.e
for AeClennan in order TO aid in the d,
feat OF Hearst. Hearsts large vote show
that the Municipal Ownership league mu,
be reckoned with as a factor i'm the city
politics. ColeTs election as the presideI
% the borough Of Brooklyn on the nun
cipal league ticket gives the league repr
sentation on the board OF estimate and al
portionment which has control OF the cit
expenditures. IL Is estimated that IN
board will direct the outlay Of 100000
