Question Of Recount.
senator McCarren made a vain but hard
night IN behalf of Mayor Mcclellan on the
supplemental recount bill, and while Senator
Raines tried to show that the mayor was
inconsistent In opposing the supplemental
bill. Senator McCarren refused to admit
that there was any merit in the bill How
ever, the bill was passed over acting Mayor
McGowans veto by a vote of ~ TO Z Sena-
tors Boyce. Rensselaer,, McCarren. Cullen.
Hasenfug, Owens, Mccall. Cassidy and
schuyler voting against such action
II was somewhat singular that also on
thls Dill Senator McMai us managed to
escape going on record. He has avoided
going on record on every bin that the mayor
is opposed to and which Tammany wants
He was in the senate chamber prior to the
Dill pelng taken up, and then disappeared.
After the bill was out of the way he re-
appeared.
Senator Page said that the supplemental
recount bill was designed to meet the situa-
ton pointed out in the veto to the original
recount BILL and he couldn't understand
why II should be vetoed
Senator McCarren said that Senator Page
would have the senate believe the supple
mental bill was what the doctor ordered
But let me tell you" he said "it isn't
what the doctor ordered. 1t is The rotten
est piece of legislation that this legislature
has ever had-this and the original recount
Dill. The governor had to labor with his
conscience to have this bill introduced He
took up a column and a half the other day
TO snow he was right on the original re-
count bill, but he knew he was wrong"
Grady Denounces Mcclellan.
Senator Grady charged Mayor Mcclellan
with never wanting and not wanting now a
clear title to his office.
He would have IL as muddy as possible
SO long as he can draw salary mayor
VI Ne~ ioih ci'y' the senator sald This
message was not written by the acting
mayor of New York, for he knows nothing
of the legal terms contained in the message
1t bears the earmarks and footprints Of
the counsel of the mayor. We have never
seen the mayor of New York striving to get
clear title to his office but we have seen
him resort to every technicality that the
law permits to prevent a recount
THE assertion that the recount will last
four or five years is not so. If ii were there
wouldn't be a veto message here today.
The man holding the Office of mayor OF
New York isn't anxious to continue his
public career after his term of office ex-
pires."
Senator Raines asked Senator McCarren
why the supplemental bill had been vetoed,
tnasmuch as II had its origin in the charge
that the mayor had no chance 10 defend
his title to his Office in the original bill.
Senator McCarren answered that ii was
establishing bad precedent
