Admits Election of Joseph H.

MACHINE SLIPPED A COG
Face of Returns in Hartford Mayor alty Contest Disputed-city Meet ino Declares Democrat Winner
 by Plurality of 35 Votes.

Hartford. d.-Although on the face Of the returns of the biennial mayoralty election Mayor Louis R. Cheney, Re publican, was returned to office by 54 votes. the moderator at the adjourned city meeting declared Attorney Jo- seph II. Lawler, Democrat, elected by an arbitrary plurality of 90 votes. The figures for the total vote in the city are: Lawler, 7,585. Cheney 1850. This action was taken by the mod orator, F. J. Mahon, because Of the contention that one Of the voting ma chimes in the fourth ward had failed to register 1Z0 votes. The machine was opened during the day by order of Judge Bennett of the Supreme Court and it was found that the cog connecting with the Lawler counter was out of order, preventing 1t from recording the vote After the meeting, which was a protracted one-haying recessed four times - City Clerk Smith, while accepting the decision of the moderator for filing, issued certificate of election to Mayor Che ney. MT. Cheney refused to accept the certificate and sent in his resig- nation, to take effect at once. He says that while 1t is apparent he was elected on the fact of the returns. "it will be intolerable for me to serve as mayor with the consciousness that my election may have resulted from failure of the voting machinery to re- cord the will of the people" In the meantime. M. J. Hogan. acting presi- dent Of the Board of Aldermen, was mayor of the city, until MT. Lawler was inducted Into office next day. Jo- seph H. Lawler, mayor of Hartford, is one of the youngest mayors in the country He is not yet 30 years old. He ig a graduate of Georgetown uni. yersity and the Harvard Law school. He is q successful lawyer. Last year he represented Hartford in the gen. eral assembly.
