th Contest
New York, Nor. 8.-That a bitter
fight will be waged in the courts to do-
cde whether Georg B. McClellan or
Wiliam R. Hearst shall be mayor of
New York, ia now assured. Complete
returns give McClellan 3843 votr-s plu
rality, tht smallest ever recorded for a
successful mayoralty candidate and the
result of which might be easily reversed
by a re-count of ballots.

BOXES ARE MISSING.
Hearst Men Alleg Heavy Fraudulent
Voting in New York.
New York, Nor. 8. That a fraudu
lent rota of forty thousand had been cast
in Greater New York waa th claim of
the Hearst manager and given out by
Max Ihmsen last night. It had been
decided, Mr. Ihmsen said, to demand a
recount of the entire ticket, if, after
194 ballot boxes aaid to be missing, had
been located and counted it waa found
Mr. Hearst still kicked sufficient rote
to elect him.
"It must bar been that these boxe
contained many Hearst rotes, Mr. Ihm
sen declared, "otherwise they would not
be missing. Certain it is they would
not carry away boxe containing a ma
jority of McCleyaa. rotc'4 But ox
thing is certain, Mr. Hearst will demand
a proper recount evem should the vote
in these missing boxe tk-ct him. It ia
also certain that we will carry thia
matter to tha court of hut resort, if
necessary. Mr. Hearst feela that ha haa
b en elected and that a majority of
the citizens of New York hsv cast
their vote for him and he proposes to
hare tiioee vote bonetly rfmitd as
well a the many thousand vof-
thrown out.
"Mr. Hearst ha Wn honestly elect

warmth, "and Mr. McClellan will never

Ihmsen replied that several Hearst men
had met Mr. Jerome within the hour
and talked the situation over with
him.
"I do not know thst the eo-operetion

he replid in anwer to a quection. "A

or illegal voters. All we are atked to
produce is the evidence, and we have
that galore.
"That Mr. Hearst has been honestly
elected ia our contention and he does
not inb-nd to be counted out through
any fraudulent means." -
