Mr. Hearst Silent.
Mr.. Hearst himself would make no state
ment and referred all questoners TO MI.
Ihmsen. The latter said that Mr.. Hearst
claimed his election as mayor by good
majority That a fraudulent vote or at
least 10000 had been cast in Greater New
York was the claim of the Hearst man
ayers 1t has been decided, Mr.. 1hmsen
said to demand a recount of the entire
ticket If after the ~194 ballot boxes SAID 10
be missing had been located and counted
it was found Mr. Hearst still lacked SUM-
Client votes to elect him.
1T must have been that these boXes CON
tanned many Hearst votes" Mr.. 1hmsen de-
clared, otherwise they would not be mss
ing Certain DIT is that they would not
carry away boxes containing a majority OF
Mcclellan votes. But one thing is certain,
Mr. Hearst VIII demand a proper recount
even should the vote in these missing boxes
elect him. 1t Is also certain that we VIII
carry this matter to the court OF last re-
sort If necessary. Mr. Hearst feels that he
has been elected, and that a majority OF
the citizens of New York have cast votes
for him, and he proposes to have those
votes honestly counted, as well as the many
thousands of Illegal votes thrown out. we
have evidence of many thousands of these
votes"
declared Mr. Shearn, 'and Mr.. McClalan
will never be permitted to take his seat on
this election William r. Hearst Is the
man who will be mayor of New York after
January l next.
Conference With Jerome.
Asked If 1t were true that Mr. Hearst
had had a conference with Mr.. Jerome, Mr..
Ihmsen replied that several Hearst men
had met Mr.. Jerome within the hour ard
talked the situation over with MIN.
"And is Mr.. Jerome to cooperate with
the Hearst people In demanding recount.
and taking the matter before the courts?'
was asked.
Il do not know that the cooperation of
the district attorney was asked. AS ] I'M
derstand, merely his advice was asked.
All 1 can say is that our repres eutatives
reached an understanding with Mr.. Je-
rome, and We are assured he VIII assist us
in Furnishing volators Of the election laws.
and tin soldiers or illegal voters. All we
are asked to produce is the evidence, and
we have that galore.
THAT Mr.. Hearst has been honestly elect
ed is our contention, and he does not in
tend to be counted out through any fraud
ulent means. After we get little eded
sleep We will take this matter up and carry
it through with much vigor.
Murphy Refused to Comment.
Charles F. Murphy. the leader of Tam
many Hall, refused this morning to COM
ment the result of the voting. 1t was
explained for him that the polling was
SO close he realized that a contest would
be made. and while he was confident that
the ultimate decision would be in favor of
Mayor Mcclellan, he thought it would be
out of place for him to say anything.
Bird 8. Coer, president-elect of the
borough of Brooklyn. said:
My friends and 1 can show that enough
frauds have been committed in Brooklyn
n n h. nf tI,a ala
ton. We have enough affidavits showing
frauds in the various boroughs to upset the
Mcclellan pluraIities.
My election I regard due to the up
rising of the people against the bosses
That IS issue which rises higher than
any personality"
The Next Assembly.

democrats 46. The senate holds over this
year.
In the commercial districts practically
! all bets made on Mcclellan will be held up
pending developments. Conservative esti-
mates make the amount wagered on Nc
| Clellan at not less than S2o0,00o, while
| probably half that much was bet on Jerome.
A few Jerome bets were cashed this morn
| Ing but the Stockholders have decided not
| to pay the bulk of the Jerome money until
| the official count Is in. Bets on Mcclellan
| may be held up indefinitely, at least
until the courts decide the contest. bro
! ker today offered to bet $1,000 that the
| official recount would show that Hearst had
| been elected mayor.
