MAYORS BIG EXPENSES.
WiU TRY to Force State and Hearst
to Pan His Recount Bills.

Friends of Mayor Mcclellan said yesterday that
whether Hearst beats him in the recount or not
the Mayor would make determined effort 10
recover at least 10000 for expenses incurred In
defending his title to office.
If Hearst fails to wipe out the Mcclellan p!ur-
ality of 3 4o0 the Mayor undoubtedly will bring an
action against the State and Mr.. Hearst Jointly
From the way the recount is going at present IL
is believed that Hearst will fail to wipe out the
Mayors margin.
MeSsrs. Richards and Hasbrouck. the Mcclellan
lawyers, are of the opinion that an action against
Hearst and the State Jointly would lie, as MT
Hearst is represented by counsel. Hitchinss ana
Pallfser in the recount action. The contention or
the Mayor would be that he was legally elected
and that through Hearst the Attorney General
was prevailed upon to begin the custer proceed
ing in behalf of the State
II Hearst should win bill will be sent 10
Albany providing for the reimbursement and set
ting forth the cost of the defence. 1t Is SAID
that the Mayor is using more than his salary to
pay his lawyers and stenographers.
At one stage of the litigation a Supreme court
lust suggested that Mr. Hearst be required 10
file bond guaranteeing the State from loss
should the custer action fail. Such bond was not
filed.
