MCCLELLAN WILL
CLING TO OFFICE
Tammany Will Fight Hearst in
Courts and Mayor Hold
to Post.
Journal Special Service,


New York, Nov. "a. - Abandoning
their policy Of concession, counsel for
Mayor Mcclellan have decided to meet
the attempt of W. R. Hearst to reopen
the ballot boxes with vigorous opposi-
tion. Now fight will begin which is
expected to lead to the court Of appeals
and delay the end Of the contest until
far beyond Jan. l, when the new mayor
must take Office.
Tho theory of the Hearst. people is
that the Tammany lawyers found that
the best course would be to keep the
ballot boxes locked. There is now hard
ly q possibility that the contest will
end in time for certificate Of election
to be issued to any candidate before
Jan. l, and it is almost certain that
Mayor Mcclellan will be, for few
months at least, holdover mayor. AS
such he will not be able to make ap-
pointments to Office, and the reorgani-
zation Of his staff will have to be post
poned for several weeks.
An injunction is already in force pre-
venting the board of canvassers from
granting a certificate of election to any
candidate until the count Of the void
and protested ballots now going on be-
fore Justice Giegrich can be finished.
A similar I'M junction will be included
in the order for the opening Of the bal
lot boxes, provided such an order is
granted as a result of the hearing to-
morrow. This order will hold until the
contest is out of the courts.

MASSACRE THREAT
MADE BY SULTAN
Turkeys Ruler Rejects Powers
Demands with an Ugly Warn
ing Of Reprisals.

Gonstantinople, via. Soft, Bulgaria,
Nov. 24.-The porte 8 reply to the de-
mands of the powers is not only cate
gorical rejection of the demands, but
contains thinly yelled threats that the
pressure of Europe will possibly excite
the Turkish population to reprlsals on
the Christians. r,
The note declares that the ottoman
government Loyalty introduced the re-
forms demanded by the MuerZteg pro-
gram, and says that if these did not
entirely succeed, the fault was in the
hatred dividing the nationalities in
Macedonia and instigation from abroad.
The communication states that the
Turkish government finds it absolutely
impossible to accept financial control
of Macedonia, as it would violate the
sultan's sovereignty. After agreeing
to the prolongation of the mandates OF
the foreign civil agents, the note con-
cludes:
eff the powers increase the pressure
in order to compel the acceptance of
the control scheme, the imperial gov
eminent declines all responsibility for
the consequences which may arise from
the discomfort among the republic.
Creates Bad Impression.

bad impression in diplomatic circles
where it is regarded as a deliberate at
tempt to create artificial public sentl'
mont against financial reform, with
the object of intimidating Europe. At
the same time it is recognized that
there is danger of trouble in Macedonia
and that the powers ought to nave
forces in readiness to act promptly al
the first sign Of an outbreak.
Tie foreign representatives are con
sidering the question of increasing the
