RECOUNT BEGINS TO-DAY
Buffalo Jury to Pass on EUery Bal
lot an NezC York MayOraLty Contest.

After litigation extending over the period since
the election Of Mayor Mcclellan in 1905. the final
recount of the ballots of that election is to be
started to-day. The recount, which has been
forced by William r. Hearst. the Mayors op-
pouent, is 70 take place before Justice Lambert.
of the Supreme Court, of Buffalo. who has been
specially designated TO sit in the case,
TIE work of recounting will be done by a special
fury to be selected from a struck panel OF one
hundred. It viii probably take several days 10
pick the jury, which is TO pass on every ballot
regardless OF the original decision OF the board OF
canvassers. How long the recount will take can
only be surmised but there are few who think II
will go through without some technical objections.
which will cause delay while the courts are pass
ing the point
Mr.. Hearst first tried to force recount himself
but in this ne was defeated by a decision OF the
Court Of Appeals Then Attorney General Mayer
started quo warranto proceedings. which were
continued by Attorney General Jackson The lat
ter held that ne could insist the opening Of any
of the ballot boxes under a general allegation OF
fraud. while Eugene Lamb Richards, counsel for
the Mayor, held that specific charges OF fraud
would have 10 be made in the OF each box
the Attorney General wished 70 open. After taking
the case to the Court Of Appeals the Attorney
General won his point. the decision having been
handed down within the last four weeks.
The plurality Of Mayor Mcclellan certified to
by the Board OF Elections was between $500 and
600 Nj Hearst at began to contest the cleo
ton Under an order from Justice Gaynor. Of
BROOKLYN ne obtained the removal one night Of the
s45 ballot boxes from the police stations, which
under ordinary conditions would have been kept
there until the ballots destroyed The boxes
were taken 10 the Board Of Elections, which after
much trouble finally had them placed in storage
warehouses; where they now are, supposedly under
the direct guard OF a representative Of the Board
Of Elections. For nearly year Mr. Hearst kept =
guard the boxes.
Six weeks after the election Mr. Hearst had four
boxes opened and recounted, showing gain OF
seventeen votes for him. The recount was then
bIocked by the legal advisers OF the Mayor

GOVERNOR TO GIVE FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Little doubt exists that in the special election
campaign In Niagara and Orleans counties the
Governor VIII present these ideas as food TOT
thought all over the state. Republicans pr
vately say that state chances are none too priii-
liant anyway, this year. With section OF the
party defying a Governor backed by popular
sentiment that party easily might come in TOT
severe rebuke at the polls.
one particularly brilliant example OF the way
this would work is furnished by the case OF
Senator owen Cassidy. The execration which a
large section Of the public is delivering TO those
Republicans who voted against the anti-gam-
bling bills seems TO be coming to him in double
measure Cassidys Senate district comprises
SCHUYLER Chemung Tompkins and Iloga
counties. He is certain Of denomination MS
reelection now seems not at all certain Byram
L. Winters. the leader Of a powerful Repuoiicah
minority in Tioga County, is denounclns Gas
sdy in his newspaper as renegade a traitor

ents because OF his vote against the anti-gaIn-
bling bills. Chemung Is at best douotfui
county Schuyler is safely Republican, and safe
for Cassidy. but his margin there two years ago
was only about one thousand Tompkins
County has a militant Democratic organization,
and all it's people hot about the gambling
situation.
So in many other sections OF the state indica-
tions are unmstakable that the people are TAX
ing I'D this proposition with the notion that the
Governor didn't get a square deal The re-
action produced by the defeat of the racing bills
is particularly noticeable in the rural com
nunities and the smaller cities where good
proportion of the people never saw professional
betting at racecOurses. and are just beginning
TO realize actually the danger from the defeat OF
this legislation Politicians who are keeping
close watch seeing the danger signals The
voters beginning to be stirred. and II the
Governor continues his fight his friends predict
that the state viii swing in behind him and
force the enactment of his measures at the
extraordinary session unless the Republican
party wants to go handicapped into its coming
campaign.
