BALLOTS DON'T HELP REDDY,
Scrutiny OF TwO Boxes Leaves Bernstein
Where He Was.

The Assembly Committee on Privileges
and Elections sat yesterday at the Hotel
Cadillac to hear testimony in the contest
brought by William C. Reddy on. o..
against j. S. Bernstein CTam.), who was
declared elected to the Assembly from the
Thirty-irst district. Bernstein's plurality
was rs and the charge was made that there
had been an unfair count Of the ballots
cast in the Thirty-fourth and Thirty-hfth
Election districts. One witness said that
the Tammany inspectors had used intimi-
dalton in order to have protested ballots
counted. The law directs that they shall
be counted.
It is understood that a scrutiny Of the
ballots Of the boxes of the two election
districts mentioned did not produce any
evidence to help Reddy.

ate his breakfast slowly, luxuriously,
for the smoke of battle was in his nos

onslaught and his blood tingled like a

But Phineas Sutton, the purser,
watched the broker with more than
usual interest. He also detected the
mustard seed of a romance, and quick
ly decided that Miss Emery of Boston,
whose name was not in the Blue Book,
was not proper party for his wealthy
and generous guest; the pUrser made
up his mind to save his roomer But
Potter retired to his cabin after his
breakfast to prepare his cipher code.
peleg Potter had planned a stupen-
dous campaign on the street 1t was
as simple as a grizzly chasing a man
without gun. And, moreover, it was
based upon the very circumstance that
was now running the brokers' first and
forced vacation. Believing in the I'LL
innate and universal triumph of the
wireless telegraph he had sold all the
United States Telegraph that he could
lay his hands on short He had al
ready hammered the stock down fif-
teen points by all the tactics known
to a resOurceful room trader. But the
bulls were after his hide, and the
stock was rising. With Potter a de-
cision was generally a victory. He
made up his mind to take his profits,
force the stock UP forty points, and
let those that caught him mapping pay
his vacation expenses. So he sent the
following Marconigram to his part
ner. 1t was in the firm cipher:
Am fully recovered. Buy U. S. L.
on my personal account until further
notice
This was a royal order. 1t meant a
royal struggle. With uneoncerned man
ner as If he might have ordered a
Scotch and soda, Mr.. Potter handed the
telegram to his stateroom steward to
be sent Immediately. He then saun-
tered into the smoking-rOom as the
clock pointed II.
AT his entrance Ananias Eli sprang
up to meet him, and, leading him to a
corner, gave the orders, and then
poured into a swash of talk.
But, Mr.. Eli" said Mr.. Potter, when
the others breath was exhausted, Il

But Potter was looking out of the
portfolio. His thoughts were dancing,
receding and snrging like storm-driven
crests. II was he who had ruined his

this dishonor. He had ruined many
