COURTS MUST DECIDE.
New York, Nov. S.-Whether

count or reinspection of the ballots
might easily sweep Hearst into office.

will demand recount. Jerome will
assist in the investigation and Bird S.
Coler, elected president Of Brooklyn
Borough on the Municipal ticket, also
supports Hearst's contention that he
was legally elected The stock mark
