HEARST MEN
EIated Over Progress OF
Recount of the
Ballots
SHOWS MCCLELLAN LOSS

New York, May 27.--John t. Dolling,
president of the board Of elections,
turned key in the paddock on the
ballot boxes from the. second election
district of the sixth assembly dis
trict at about noon today and the re-
count of the mayoralty vote of 1905
was on. From then till O'Clock the
monotonous counting and checking
of ballots went on, >save for an hours
recess, and at the close of the. day
the contents of two ballot boxes had
been Tecounted, and William h.
Hearst had gained q votes, and had
reduced McClellan's plurality by that
amount
Figuring on an average gain for
Hearst of q votes in two boxes, the
Hearst adherents had it tonight that
instead of a plurality of 3474 for
Mcclellan, the final result would be
a plurality of 22,S24 for Hearst. There
are 194S ballot boxes of that cleo
tion and they contain some 100000
votes in all. An average gain of two
votes per box for Hearst would, as a
matter of fact, be Sufficient to upset
the election returns and seat the in
dependence municipal ownership
leaguer, as mayor of the city.
Judging from today's results, and
in December of 1905 of four ballot
boxes before McClellans lawyers got
busy and stopped the recount that was
then in progress, it is quite possible
that enough errors may crop up in the
recount of the ballots to change the
verdist as recorded by the board of
county canvassers. The chief hopes
of the Hearst people are really based,
not on any probability of showing
fraud, though that was developed to-
day, but on the fact that the inspec-,
tors let through a good many ballots,
the majority of them for Mcclellan,
that will not pass muster in court
of law because of incorrect marking
or other defects.
The fraud that was shown lay in
a practical reversal, by election in
spectors Of the seventh election dis
trict of the eighth assembly district,
of the totals of the votes cast for
Hearst and Mcclellan. In relation to
this box, the Hearst lawyers had sub
mitted to the courts, right after the
election, an affidavit by a Socialist
watcher that, against his violent pro-
test, the inspectors had deliberately
found a plurality for Mcclellan in
stead Of a plurality for Hearst, as
the count had showed The recount
today before Justice Lambert bore
out what this watcher had sworn to.
The official canvass relating to this
box, gave Mcclellan a plurality of
four.
The recount in court showed that
Hearst had a plurality of eleven.
Clarence J, Shearn and Charles A.
Dolsen, the two special deputies of
Attorney General Jackson, who are
trying the peoples side of the case,
were correspondingly elated by the
results of the day. Shearn said af-
ter the adjournment of court that he
was confident it would be necessary to
open all the ballot boxes to prove that
Hearst was really elected.

DAILY MORNING NEWS.
INCONSISTENT LABOR LEADERS

One of the amazing aspects of the
Cleveland street railway situation is
the position taken by the leaders OF
the proletariat," or, in other words,
those parties conspicuous in the Soc
ialist movement in that city. If the
Cleveland papers are correct Max
Hayes who was candidate for gov
ernor on the Socialist ticket some
years ago and came within an ace of
being nominated for the vice presi-
dency at the Socialist convention in
Chicago few weeks ago, and Robert
Blandlow, also one of the best known
Socialists in the United States, are
condemning the present administra-
tion of street railway affairs. In one
instance the condemnation is accom-
panied by statement that the gen
tlemen in question had supported Mr..
johnson prior to the settlement Of
April 81, but were bitterly opposed
to him now. 1t is not the desire of
the writer to discuss the merits Of
Socialism as q cure for the evils of
mankind but to show the incUnsist-
ency, if possible, of these gentlemen
above named who belong to a party
which proposes to change the present
economic system, under which one
class is exploited for the benefit Of
another, 70 a system under which all
industry will be carried on for the
benefit of all, Just as Mr.. Johnson
has changed the street railway system
In Cleveland from one conducted for
the profit of the stockholders only, to
one conducted in the interests of the
whole people.
In the light Of these facts is it not
amazing to find them opposing and
condemning Mr.. Johnson? Should
Socialism triumph would they feel
condemnation of it just, if, after thir-
ty days trial all it's glowing prom
ises we're not realized? Would they
feel competent to reorganize society so
as to DO away with all the ills in
one short month, and would they con-
slider their system a failure If every
thing was not running smoothly at
the expiration of that time? 1t is~lit-
tie wonder that thinking people are
slow to lend their efforts to aid a
new political party when its very lead
ers continually show their inconsist-
encies in trying to prevent the putting
into operation of plank advocated in
their platform just because they do
not belong to or are allied with the
Socialist party. II should be said,
however, that Messrs. Hayes and
Blandlow are members of that branch
OF Socialists that is known to be fav-
orable to labor unions and is called
by another branch of Socialists, the
Socialist Labor party, TABOR rakirs,"
and the like, and it appears that the
S. L. P. in their charges come very
near hitting the mark if the situa-
tion in Cleveland is any criterion by
