charges by Clarence J. Shcarn, coun
sel for W. R. Hearst, that ballot
boxes had been stuffed. When Mr.
'Hearst began his legal contest for
the mayor’s office, now occupied by
George B. McClellan, lie had a p'u
rality of 3,834 votes to overcome. The
returns from the contents of only 46
out of a total of 1.985 ballot boxes
remained to be recounted when court
adjourned today.
As the recount stands with the
contents of 46 boxes unreported, Mr.
Hearst has made a net gain of 863,
leaving a plurality of 2.971 for Mr.
McClellan

Mr Shcarn said that his client
would still be able to prove fraud suf
ficiently glaring to invalidate Mr. Mc
Clellan's title to his office. Counsel
for Mr. McClellan declared that the
