Such Is MCCIeIIan's View
of the Recount Bill.
GOTHAM'S MAYOR
Says Bill Passed by Legislature Does
Not Provide for a Recount of
All Votes for Mayor in 1905.

New York, June Mayor McClel-
Ian on Thursday made public his mes
sage TO the legislature in opposition to
the bill passed for recount of the
votes cast IN the last mayoralty elec.
ton in this city. II was announced at
the city hall that Patrick +. McGowan,
president of the board of aldermen
and acting mayor who presided at the
public hearing on the recount meas
ure, here this week, would send his
veto of the bill to Albany to-day.
The bill IS, on It's face" says Mayor
Mcclellan in his message, dishonest
and unfair"
He notes the failure to provide for
a full recount of all the votes and de.
clares that he, as a successful candi-
date. Is denied the right of asking for
a recount in a single one of the dis.
, tricts other than those named in the
bill
Such a law" he continues, makes
IL possible to overthrow the squarest
and fairest election ever held, provid-
ed only the plurality is small enough
TO make such an attempt worth
while
The mayor continues: "Mr. Hearst,
neither in his original contest nor by
means of proposed legislation such as
this bill, has ever sought a recount or
recanvass of the whole vote, but has
continually aimed at partial recan-
yass of those districts where | receiv-
ed my pluralities The governor has
stated more than once that the grant
ing OF recount was a simple act OF
! Justice. May ! ask what evidence he
has that injustice has ever been done ?
, Is it not his plain duty, not only to me,
but to all citizens of New York, IL he
has such evidence to disclose it?
MY duty has been clear to me from
| the beginning; to allow opportunity
for full investigation of the charges OF
my adversary as far as | could con-
/ scientiously permit, but to fight every
attempt to permit litigation for the
| purpose of disorganizing the city gov
ernment. The charge that |, for the
purpose of holding my office, was will.
| ing to conceal fraud seemed to me
so far beneath contempt as to be un.
worthy of my attention
