armory and, after examining the bal
lots, announced he would Immediately
begin an investigation to find out who
was responsible for their preparation.
As scores of the ballots had been
voted before the alleged attempt at
fraud was discovered, there Is no way
OF knowing Just how many had been
marked in advance. The eight re-
ferred to were found among the bal
lots that had not been used.
Soldiers and sailors from this State
who were not able TO register and who
are on duty in this vicinity were in
vited to cast their ballots at the
armory and more than 200 had taken
advantage OF the opportunity this

The first intimation that some OF
the ballots had been marked in ad-
vance came when Sergt. Charles NJ.
Stefrens OF the I'D Coast Artillery,
stationed at Fort Hancock, emersed
from the booth and protested that
the ballot he had received contained
crosses In the squares before the
names OF Mayor Mitchell and the other
Fusion candidates.
1t was then recalled that a soldier
who had voted previously had COM
plained that his ballot had already
been marked, Steffens, who lives AT
No. 5 Abingdon Square, alleges ho
was Informed that he would have Ia
use the ballot that had been given 10
him.

swans ot1ce and stated what had
happened Assistant District Attor-
ney Joyce ana Senator James A. Foley

toned Lieut.. Francis Quigley Chair
man or the BOARD In charge Of the

rior and District Attorney Swami hur-
ricd to the armory, The ballots ar
rived at the armory from Albany YES
