|F|CkERT'S DEMAND
| PROVES BOOMERANG
VictOr's Majority Is Reduced
From So and Loser Will
Continue Fight
Hearing Enlivened by Torrid
Language and Shows Queer
Franks of Voters

The recounting of votes in the
Heney Fickert controversy was con-
cluded in Judge Muraslzy,s court yes
els ] Heney victor by "a votes in his
fight for the place of candidate for dis
trict attorney on the democratic ticket.
An effort will be made this morning
by Attorney Ira S. Lillick, representing
Fickert, to continue the case and have
recount of additional precincts, but
this move will be opposed by Attorneys
Matt Sullivan. Henry Eickhoff and
James Riordan, for Heney.
Counsel for Mr.. Fickert has al
legged fraud in this election" said
Eickhoff, "and specified in the COM
plant IL precincts wherein 1t was
committed. The votes in these pre-
ci1cts have been recounted and moth
ing more material discovered than some
natural errors. Now, being unable to
prove his allegations, he wants to go
on a fishing expedition, hoping to
find somewhere or the other the votes
lacking. These proceedings have
been made the medium of some ex-
tremely sensational journalism and the
incidents in this courtroom distorted to
meet particular issues and political
opinions"
INCITES HEATED RETORT
Do you insinuate, sir angrily
shouted Lillick, that 1 have been re-
sponsiple for the articles in the news
papers?"
Il insinuate nothing retorted Eick-
hoff. Il but state facts
The count began yesterday with
Heney having a majority of 81 votes.
Fickert having gained "a on the re-
count the day before. 1t was evident
that the precincts counted first were
strongest for Fickert, as those that
came later failed to show much in
crease. In the one hundred and six
teenth precinct of the fortieth district
the recount gave Heney a net gain of
two and in the seventy ninth precinct of
the thirty seventh he made a net gain
of one Fickert's net gain in the en-
tire recount was 64, which, deducted
from Heney's majority of SS, left a
majority of "a for the latter.
The work of recounting was enliv-
ened by several little tits. Voters in
their efforts to write Fickert's name
developed fanciful styles of spelling it,
jotting him down as Funckel Frick,
Flicker and Pickard. One voter voted
for Patrick Calhoun for district attor-
ney.
SULLIVAN ROUSES RISIBLES
Il am willing to admit vote IL it
was spelled Freak" said Sullivan. be
cause then there would be no doubt
for whom the voter intended to vote.
There is no doubt in this instance of
Patrick Calhoun for whom the voter
intended to vote
This is no laughing matter" said
Lillick
Il think" said Judge Murasky. "a
Low tcrh hfAr Will .
us in this dry work"
One voter voted for Goofty Goofty
for district attorney. Abe Ruef for au-
ditor. Dalzell Brown for treasurer and
Paddy" Calhoun McNab for mayor.
No attempt was made to have Goofty
Goofty made to appear to sound either
like Fickert or Heney.

CALLS fICkfRT
CALHOUN'S MAN
Heney Declares Speeches Ema-
nate From Office of Mag
mates Lawyers

Francis j. Heney, candidate for dis
trict attorney, addressed three enthus-
iastic meetings last night prior to his
appearance at the Iroquois club ban
quet at the Hotel Argonaut. He spoke
twice in the Mission before crowds that
fairly packed the halls where he had
been announced, and again before big
audience at Steimke hall in Octavia
street near Union. His first meeting
was in the hall of the thirty fifth dis
trict Heney club at 1890 Mission street
and his second in Columbus hall at
Twenty ninth and Mission streets.
AT every place In which he appeared
Heney was given hearty ovation. The
| Mission Street Heney club headquarters
was filled to the doors, and more than
| 1000 persons greeted him at the theater
! where he made his second speech. His
talks were all along the lines of the
principles upon which the graft prose-
cution has been fought and included
direct attacks upon Charles NJ. Fickert,
whom he termed the candidate of the
| corporation interests.
Heney dwelt sarcastically upon Flick
ert's platform statements that If elected
there would be no granting of immu-
nifty in connection with the conduct of
history of the graft cases from the time
| of their inception, showing that the
prosecution must have fallen at the out
set had it not adopted the policy of
granting immunity to secure evidence.
When Fickert says TIL prosecute
| both the bribe giver and the bribe
! taker,'" said Heney It'll add to that
sentence the words, Both, or none
Prosecuting nobody will never stop
graft, but prosecuting one will have at
least that tendency"
At the Twenty-ninth and Mission
streets meeting Heney denounced sew
eral OF Fickert's statements in general,
and one in particular, as outright lies.
The one especially referred to was
Firkerts declaration that J. Dalzell
Brown, former manager of the wrecked
California safe deposit and trust COM
pany, had contributed $4,000 to the
fund for the graft prosecution He read
from the sworn testimony of the CAL
houn trial to prove that the denial Of
any participation by Brown in the pros
ecution was matter of public record
and asserted that this fact must be
known to his opponent.
In substantiation of the charge that
Fickert was the candidate of the cor
poration interests Heney declared that
the speeches made by Patrick Calhou s
attorney, A. A. Moore, during the Cal
houn trial, were practically the same
word for word as Fickert's stump
speeches and that Fickert's campaign
speeches emanated from the office of
Calhouns attorneys.
Several other speakers appeared for
Heney at each of the meetings which he
himself addressed. Among them were
Assistant District Attorney Robert
Duke, Andrew Furuseth, Walter Mac
arthur and Edward Barry
