HEARST LOSES CONTEST
Mayor Mcclellan is Victorious
in 1908 Campaign.
BALLOT BOXES NOT STUFFED
Hearst Was Unable to Prove His Charge
10 Satisfaction Of Judge, Who Directed
Verdict For McClsllan.

New York.-Mayor George B. Nc
CleIlan's title to the Office of mayor
OF New York city was made clear by
the decision of Justice Lambert in. the
supreme court when he ordered jury
20 render verdict that Mcclellan
was duly elected mayor in 1905. w.
r. Hearst has been contesting the
mayors right to the office practically
ever since the election, and as a re-
suit of his charges of fraud In the
original count of ballot the legislature
passed a law enabling a recount. At
torney General w. S. Jackson then
instituted quo warranto proceedings
ON behalf of the people, in which
Soth Mr.. Hearst and Mayor Mcclellan
we're named as defendants.
The recount left Mayer Mcclellan
with plurality of 1896, whereupon
Clarence j. Shearn, representing Mr..
jackson, alleged that the ballot boxes
had been stuffed and requested the
court to throw the entire vote of 112
election districts in which he charged
that the ballots found in the boxes ex-
ceeded the number of registered vot-
ers. This, however, was based on an
incorrect list of voters, and, when the
correct list was produced Tuesday. Mr..
Shearn said that the registration was
greater than the poll in every disputed
district.
Justice Lambert declined to throw
out the contested districts. Mr.. Shearn
then charged that the inspectors had
registered an excess number of names.
but said he could not prove repeat
ing.
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 concern
ed. He said that if legal voters could
be disfranchised SO readily as had
been attempted in this case, this form
of government would not endure long.
II the jury were to return a YER
dict against Mayor Mcclellan, Justice
Lambert said he would not allow it
TO stand, and he ordered verdict in
Savor of the mayor, which was rem
aered. The jurors were allowed $50
each, having sat 81 days.
Mayor Mcclellan spent over $4,000
60 defend his title and says that he
had no regrets as to the course he
pursued, and that he feels that the
controversy will discourage the bring
ing of election contests of this sort in
the future. He said that had he sus-
pected that his election was the re-
suit of fraud, he would have acted
differently.
