Loses Out in His Big Fight
Against Mcclellan Of

Court Orders Jury to Bring!
in Verdict for the
Mayor

New York, June Mayor Me-
C1ellan's title to the Office of mayor Of
New York city was made clear by the
decision Of Justice Lambert in the
supreme court today, when he or
Hdered the jury to render a verdict
that cClellan was the duly elected
mayor III 1905
w. r. Hearst has been contrasting
the mayors right to the office prac
tically ever since the election, and as
a result of his charges Of fraud In
the original count of ballots the legis-
lature passed a law enabling re-
count Attorney General w. S Jack
son then instituted quo warranto pro-
5ceedings on behalf Of the people, in
which both Mr.. Hearst and Mayor Nc
Ciellan were named as defendants
The recount left Mayor Mcclellan
with a plurality of 1855, whereupon
Clarence Shearn, representing Mr.
Jackson, alleged that the ballot boxes
had been stuffed and requested the
court to throw out the entire vote Of
si12 election districts in which ne
charged that the ballots found ID the
boxes exceeded the number OF reg
istered voters. This, however, was
based on an incorrect list Of Hots3
ers, and when the correct list was
produced today Mr. Shearn said that
the registration was greater than the
| poll in every disputed district. JUS
tice Lambert declined to throw out
the contested districts. Mr.. Shearn
than charged that the inspectors had
registered an excess number Of
names, but said he could not prove
repeating.
The justice then declared that the
original count was quite as complete
as the one made in court and that the
evidence showed no fraud as far as
the election inspectors were CON
cerned. He said that If the legal
voters should be DISTINGUISHED SO
readils as had beer attempted III this
SIR this form Of government would
not endure long II the jury were to
return verdict against Mcclellan,
Justice Lambert said, he would not
allow It TO stand, and he ordered a
verdict in favor Of the mayor, which
was rendered II
