CHARGE BALLOT BOX STUFFlNG IN
 EAGLES ELECTION
Checkers Count Fewer Voters Than Number of
 Ballots Cast In Meeting

Bridgeport Aeries, F'raternal Order of Eagles, held it's annual election last night. According to certain members, it was some election which may have it's aftermath in disputed results being taken before the grand aerie for adjudication.
 Charges that somebody stuffed the ballot box in the election of the first trustee were heard when the count disclosed 425 ballots with only 400 menb0Ss present This is the chief basis for a protest that may be made to the national officers.
 Interest in the election centered on the first trusteeship, for which John J. Doyle, the retiring president, and Robert E. Egan were candidates. The contest was one of the warmest ever waged in a fraternaf lodge election, it is said.
 When the ballots were counted, MT. Doyle had 206 votes and 1Tr. Egan 204. There were 15 scattering, making a to- tai poll of 425 votes. One of the check CTS said that only 399 members had voted, while the other said he counted 413.
 supporters of MT. Egan made threats that the matter would be taken higher in the organizations councils.
 Another warmly contested election was that for aerie physician, wherein Dr. D. H. Monohan defeated Dr. J.. F. Canavan by 12 votes. The result of the election was as follows: Presi- dent, John L. Lynch; vice presid ent, John J. Keegan; chaplain, John L. Harter financial secretary, Thomas M. MeNamara; recording secretary, William Yale; treasurer, Thomas Lovely; inside guard, Thomas Milan: outside guard, James Sheehy; truss tees, first, John J. Doyle; second, George Case; third, David Brolley; physician, pr. D. H. ,Monohan.
