I HECOUXT BEGINS IX NEW YORK 2EW TORK, Dec 1. (Special.) The 'canvass has proceeded far enough to in dicate that George B. McCIellan will be peated as Mayor, and the Municipal Own ership League, flushed by its "almost vic tory." is already planning what it will do next year. The executive committee. a.t a meeting this week, formally called upon President William Randolph Hearst to appoint a subcommittee to draft a plan for extending the league to every coanty In the state, "in order to conduct a Gu bernatorial campaign on nonpartisan 2Inefl.,, The new party already has a platform. Here are the main planks: A ballot-reform MIL. A demand for direct nominations. Home rule municipal ownership (I don't know what that is, but they want It). A corrupt practices bill. This is the most important political de velopment of the year, and, despite the fact that the Republicans are in a bad shape because of factional quarrels, would seemingly Indicate that Governor Frank Hlggins will be succeeded ) a man of his own political faith. It may sound strange, but it Is a fact Just the same, that Mr. Hearst's only dread is that some one of the numerous legal processes under way may result in seating him In the City Hall. He" does not want to be Mayor, and is actually much stronger as a martyr than he would bo as a victor. Many Accidental Victories. Although the Hearst forces were defeat ed, they have saved considerable patron age from the wreckage. In Brooklyn they made a clean sweep, electing Bird S. Coler, Borough President; Michael J. Fla Iierty. Sheriff; Albert J. Boulton, Regis ter; Charles T. Hartzbclm. County Clerk, and two Coroners. They have a Borough President in Queens. Joseph Bcrmel, and & Coroner, the other candidates on their fusion tickets being Republicans, and two Coroners in tho Bronx. In fact, they are particularly gay on Coroners. Besides this, they have a number of Assembly men and Aldermen, whom nefcody, not even the candidates themselves, ever eX' pected would be elected. The unexpectedness of politics was never more strikingly Illustrated than in Brooklyn, where the league Bwept every thing. And it did not "want to run i separate ticket: in fact, only did it be cause tho Republican organisation would siot fuse with it. . The Borough President, Bird S. Coler. was the only representative man on the ticket. The new Sheriff, Michael J. Fla Ticrty, Is a union musician. He can play the trombone and the clarionet and the mouthorgan. He has also been a Coroner for four years. Ho Is a little, sad-eyed man with a loud voice. Albert J. Boulton, the Register-elect, Is a stereptyper, and admittedly stereotypes very prettily. County Clerk-elect Charles T. Hartzhelm, if ho could sing "and dance and had slap sticks, would be an excellent German comedian. He "was accidentally elected on the fusion ticket four years ago to the same office, and his two years' incum bency caused bitter tears to the tax payers. "He was such a funny County Clerk,' was the general comment, "and ho put euch peculiar men In office. Hartzhelm only got tho nomination be cause nobody else wanted It. Now he "will draw $12,000 a year for two years. He formerly worked In a grocery store. A Municipal Judge who was elected on . the Municipal Ownership ticket in Brook lyn was a boy lawyer who practiced ex clasively in the Williamsburg Police Court. He lived In an $18-a-month flat. .and when he made H In one day, ho would. look at it, and wonder if there really was that much money In the world. Now he has a ten-year Job at JGOOO a year. Do you wonder ho is happy? Planning: State Campaign. The league has perfected its organic Hon In every Assembly district In Greater ew Tork. and has planned the cam paign, which it Is believed will gain many votes next year. The four main -planks In the platform will be presented to the legislature In the shape of bills whlqh It is . confidently expected will be turned down by the Republican majority. Then. of course, will come tho "appeal to the people. The ballot reform bill Is based on the law -in effect in Massachusetts, which re quires an elector to mark the name of every candidate for whom ho votes. In sieaa or using one cross mark for -straignt ticket." The direct nomina tions measure is similar to that of Min nesota, and does away with conventions and delegates, the voter designating his cnoice tor tne various offices. The cor rnpt practices bill requires state and county committees, to render sworn statements, Itemized, of the eroenses of campaigns, and the source from which. xne money tvrs aenvea. Home Rule jwjinicjpai uwnersnip - is still a secret carefully guarded from outsiders. Per haps I shall be able to elucidate it for you later. The Ieglslature will also be requested to pass an SO-cent gas "bllL It will pass tho Assembly all right, and probably be neia up jn uae senate, as it was laet year, which will nrobablv mean that tho Ren. aiors will havo a hard time to explain at to tneir constituents. The league leaders are confident that they will hold their 236.000 votes in New York, and expect after a year's earnest nvorK to sweep the up-state cities as well. Tvonpartlganshlp in state affairs Is novelty, and the outcome will be awaited with interest. The Republican leaders are toooming the project for all they are worth, believing it insures them an easy victory. la the meantime the Republican leaders are busily engaged in fighting. Senator Piatt and State Chairman Odell are each endeavoring to organize the next Leeds lature, while Governor Hlggins is looking on and remarking what a lovely thing harmony is, ana now much he approves or it. T a disinterested bystander it loeks as if the situation would finally end with the Governor In control. Odell and Piatt have both bee a discredited by the insur ance investigations. In addition to which Odell is too unpopular and Piatt too eld to successfully take tm the reins of leadership. In the Democratic camp there Ss Both lawyers Have Hot Argument About Judge's Order. NEW TORK. Dec L The recount of ballots in five ballot boxes used in New "York's contested Mayoralty election was ordered to be begun today by Justice Amend in the Supremo Court. Justice Amend modified hWi original order so as to limit the canvassing to the candidates for Mayor, Controller and president of tHe Boar of Aldermen, and aleo to elim inate from the recount the void and pro tested ballots. .. . Counsel for W. TL Hears tMay or George B. McCJcllan and Assistant Cor poration Counsel Butts engaged In a heated argument before the boxes were opened. Alton B. Parker, counsel for Mr. McClcllan, and Mr. Butts contended that the court had no right to make a recanvais of the votes or to reconsider the result, but could compel the election inspectors correctly to fctate the result they reached on election night. "You mean then." said Austin G. Fox, for Mr. Hearst, "that you don't want the true vote ascertained, and that, if a vote for Hearst has been counted for McClcl len, you don't want it known?" "I mean, retorted Mr. Butts, "that I wan4, the true vote ascertained according to law." And how may that bo done?" Inquired Mr. Fox. "By quo warranto proceedings," was the reply. "And such proceedings can only be un dertaken after January V commented Mr. Fox. "I sec Mr. Parker declared that the court had no right to throw out any ballot which had been counted by the election inspec tors. Justice Amend ruled that he Is es topped from questioning the validity of the ballots and that they must be count ed as cast. The first ballot box was then opened by inspectors in the courtroom and the recount was begun, the representatives of the newspapers occupying the scats intended Tor Jurymen. The opening of four ballot-boxes and the recounting of the ballots was finished to night before Justice Amend. The net re sult was a gain of 17 votes m the four districts for Hearst, all of these being In three districts. One district was found correct as far as the accredited votes for tho tlireo candidates were concerned. The opening of the fifth ballot-box that of the second election district of the Sixth Assembly District, was put off by consent of counsel for several days. In this district a Jeremc watcher lias made' affidavit that 31 protested ballots are in thp hex that were counted for McCIellan. Under" Justice Amend' order, signed to day, these ballots cannot be passed upon by a Justice as to their validity, so an appeal will hetaken next to the appellate division 'of the-Supremo Court, asking for a ruling as to the right of the Hearst counsel to protest these ballots on tho recount. In the district in which the count was found correct tho tenth election district of tho Second Assembly District It was. claimed by Hearst s attorneys that they found Si void McClcllan ballots and seven void Hearst ballots. Henry M. Yonge. of counsel for Mr. Hearst, said tonight: The results thus far have shown that the inspectors miscounted tho split bal lots, to the gain of McCIellan and the Iofh of Hearst. We have reason to believe that the fraudulent count exists throughout the greater part of the City of New York. If it turns out in other districts as it has in these examined today. Mr. Hearst Is elected on the recount."
