Kings. Two years ago Murphy and MeCtallan
■nere en friendly terms, and Yoorhis was reap
poimed. The K»n|6-s County organization recom
mended Majruire for reappolntment. The Re
publican County Commute* recommended Com
missioner Page, and tha King* County Republi
can orararileation recommended Colonel T>Rrty.
With the fight on t>«twren the Mayor and the
leader of Tammany Hall ther« is little proba
bility that Commissioner Voorhls will remain in
the board. Commissioner Voorhis voted in favor
of giving: the election advertising to the, Hearst
papers.
Depriving: Charles F. Murphy of a personal
representative In the Board of Elections will be
a hard blow at the prestige of Mr. Murphy as
leader.
A clash Is expected over the appointment.
Tammany will claim the right under the law to
recommend a man for the place. The Mayor
will disregard the reconunendntlon If the man
named is a so-called Murphy man. The Mayor's
appointee, whoever he may be. will take the oath
of office and begin his term, and probably Mur
phy can no nothing to prevent It.
Tax Commissioner John J. Brady, who was
elected to tho Supremo Court bench, sent a letter
to Mayor McClellan yesterday, resigning his
comnilssionership, to take effect on December
IS. There was an exchange of complimentary
letters.
Mr. Brady's su^essor will be an anti-Murphy

It is tho steady hammering the Mayor is Riv
ing Murphy that is disintegrating him as leader
of the Tammany organization. Every time that
the Mayor appoints a commissioner tho new
man understands that Murphy has Lad nothing
to do with the appointment, and that he is not
beholden to the leader of Tnmmany Hall. Noth
ing hurts the head of Tammany like that. In
the organization It Is perfectly well known that
with the right kind at a leader all of the pat
ronage from Che City Hall would bo controlled
by "the organization."
The Mayor also has a Republican place to fill
In the tax office. Commissioner Strasbourg^
having- resigned last summer.
Corporation Counsel Klllson yesterday sent
Commissioner Pa*** of th« Board of Elections
an opinion in relation to the designation by the
board of the various papers In which were pub
lished the notices of the recent election. After
reviewing the case, Mr. Ellison says:
I am clearly of the opinion:
That the Board of k:> . .a performed its
duty when it designated "Thf Sun." "The
World." • Tli^ Times" and the its-Zeltnna***
to publish the election notices provided for in
Section 3«» of the Election law of the 4th day of
October. 19(*1
That the d< slgnation of "The New York Daily
yews," "The New York American." "The Tele
graph" m: » the "Morpon Journal" under the
peremptory order of the court on October 8,
190$, was illegal, null and void because done
under the command of a. peremptory manda
mus, which order graatine; such peremptory
mandamus has tince been reversed.
Mr. Ellison then says that the 1 sard should
rescind its resolution f.rft designating "The
•Jun." "The World." The Times" and the
"Bta&ts-Zeiuing," and elfo rescind Its resolu
tion designating "Th« Daily News," "The New
York American," The T^grnph" and the
"Morgen Journal." and th«*n pass epain its
resolution deMpnatlrg the first named papers.
Jlct erring to tho bills for work done by the
papers friendly to Mr. Hearst. Mr. Ellison says:
The bills of the newspapers designated under
the peremptory m:tr.da:r.i:s "f the court should
net V.c cenifiofl for pay;nont. All such bills
nhmjld be rejected becauna the order under
which th*>y w*r* so designated has been re

SCHUMANN has said: "A person who is not acquainted with
the laicst works of literature is considered devoid of culture Oh,
that m music ue were equally advanced." What the invention
of the jmmin^-prcvs accomplished for the diffusion of literature is
now bein^ done for muse by the invention of thr Piano!* and
-The Piano ANYONE Can Play."
THERE are millions of people to-day, throughout the
civilized world — young and old — that are coming
to knoix music and to tmjoy it as they were never
.<* to do before. The Pianola, the Pianola Piano
the other UMtrumeotfi made by the Aeolian Company
have treated this new situation.
Think what it means to have caused music, "the
nobLst of the arts," t<> become universally accessible in the
home. Is it any wonder that all the musicians — com
poser . pianists and teachers — lend their cordial support to
the important work that is being done by the Pianola and
the Pkuola Piano for the cause of music ?
Is it not time for you to bring this matter home to your
individual case' If your piano is seldom or never touched
rake upaww the question of exchanging it for a Pianola
Piano, which will be a constant delight and means of edu
cation for your entire family.

think, will be enough to expel th« Senator from

Sheriff Flaherty and his followers, who form a
Democratic Municipal Ownership party, are not in

Sheriff yesterday Issued a statement disparaging
Delaney's attempt to oust McCarren. He said, in
part: .;!j .!■?•!
1 cannot believe that people generally will be
attracted to an organization which La planning:
only tUa downfall of the McCarren organisation.
It wants only to dethrone McOarron and then take
the very place that he now occupies. The plat
form of the Hayes-Delanpy organization is the
came as that of the old pnrty.
I Jim often accused of being close to the Senator
In political matters. Nothing could be further
from the truth. I like the Senator personally, and
I enjoy meeting him socially; but I am, heart and
son!, posed to his political methods.
The fact cannot be dodpod that people generally
regard the new movement under Messrs. Hayes
and PHar.ey as directed and controlled by Chair

and by Charles F. Murphy, of Tammany Hall.
DEMOCRATS SEE MAYOR.
T. M. Osbornc Tells How Hearst
Was Scratched Upstate.
Ox-Judge Parker. ex-Mayor Thomas M. Osborne
of Auburn and Charles F. Rattigan, also of Auburn,
called on Mayor McClellan yesterday and talked
politics with him. Mr. OSborna wanted to know all
about the local situation and what the Mayor was
poms to do to Murphy.
Ha and Mr. Kattlgan were able to tell the
Mayor all about the way the upstate Democrats
Knifed Hearst lapt week. Cayuga County particu
larly distinguished itself in that respect. On© of
tha Mayor's callers had this to say about a possi
ble recount of the Mayoralty vote last year:
All this talk about Attorney General-elect Jack
eon ordering a recount of the Mayoralty vote Is
eiily. Mr. Jackson hasn't any power to order a
recount, even If he wanted to. All Mr. Jackson
could do, if he thought the fact 3 warranted it,
would ha to grant a request for the beginning of
quo warranto proceedings. If a man steals $5,000
from you you can begin a criminal action against
him. If a man steals an office from you you can
bepin a quo warranto action to oust him from the
office which you think you ought to have. That's
about the size of a quo warranto action. After
Mr. Jackson grants the application for quo warranto
proceedings, then Mr. Hearst would have to begin
at the bottom by serving- a summons and complaint
on the Mayor. Before lie could open a single ballot
box be would have to convince a Jury that there
was actual fraud committed in a precinct. If ho
is not Rble to show that fraud was committed he
could not get the ballot box open. After he got
a particular ballot box open counsel would fight
over every questionable ballot on its merits. A quo
warrani action might be prolonged for three
years, the entire period of McClellan's term. Mr.
Hearst's counsel said last fall that a quo warranto
proceeding as utterly unfeasible, and doubtless
he has not changed his mind Bince.
The Hearst recount bill was one of the worst
Jobs that ever was framed up. Under its provisions
the Hearst men could have begun on some of the
boxes, say. in the Sullivan district, where possibly
there was fraud. If by recounting the ballots In
fifty election districts a plurality could be shown
for Hearst tha Hearst men, under the terms of the
Hear6t bill, could atop the recount then and there
and claim the election. They would not have to go
clear through all the boxes. All they would need
■would be a n«ro showing that Hearst had more
votes than McClellan, and the recount would come
to a stop nt once.
NBW^^ORK DAILY TRIBUNE. TUESDAY, MOVgBfBEB 13, IW.
TO EXAMINE BALLOTS.
Action Taken to Force Inspection of
Those Declared "Void:'
Orders were signed yesterday by Justice Mac-
Loan, in the Supreme Court, Manhattan, and by
Justice Dickey, in Brooklyn, compelling the
boards of canvassers in New York. Kings.
Queens and Richmond counties to show cause
why there should not be a judicial examination
of all ballots considered void by the boards of
election, and of all protested ballots. These or
ders are returnable to-morrow morning. A. S.
Gilbert, chairman of the Republican law com
mittee, who obtained these orders, will appear
then for the candidates on the Republican state
ticket whOM election Is in doubt.
This legal procedure will compel a judicial de
cision as to the validity of each ballot on the
disposition of which the lawyers for the oppos
ing political parties cannot agree.
These orders correspond in every respect to
the one granted last year to William R. Hearst
by Justice Glegerlch. In the Mayoralty contest.
After the order was obtained, the court exam
ined all protested and void ballots and passed
final decision upon them. In cases where it
appeared that the ballots had been marked to
Identify the voter, the ballots were thrown out.
The same methods will be adopted now that the
applications have been granted.
The orders signed by Justice Mao Lean against
the Board of Canvassers in New York County and
Justice Dickey against those In the other coun
ties were identical, save that Justice Mac Lean
struck out of the papers presented to him a
paragraph restraining tho board from making
an official presentation of the result of its can
vass before the judicial determination of the
fate of the "void" and "protested" ballots. Since
the order to show cause will bo argued and the
doubtful ballots all judicially canvassed before
the Board of Canvassers can complete Its work
that point was considered Immaterial by Mr.
Gilbert
Mr. Gilbert's formal application to the courts
was signed by M. Linn Bruce, Merlon E. Lewis
and Julius M. Mayer. It asked for the order
against the boards of canvassers, and, further,
for an order of mandamus restraining the hand
ing In as official of returns for the canvass until
the courts had deckled on tho doubtful ballots,
which then would be added to the official result
or subtracted from It.
In the moving papers it was set forth that
Messrs. Bruce, Lewis and Mayer were, respec
tively, candidates of tho Republican party for
Lieutenant Governor. Controller and Attorney
General, and that "the certified original state
ment of the results of the canvass In the various
election districts of tho various Assembly dis
tricts of the county of New York shows that
certain of the ballots counted at said election
held in November 6, 190H, were objected to and
marked for Identification, and that other bal
lots were rejected by the Inspectors of elec
tion in said various districts as void and which
were not counted for any candidate." The peti
tion went on:
Your petitioners further allege that in order
that their rights may l,*> preserved herein
an rnier hi* mad© restraining the Board of
County Canvassers In tha county of New York
from completing the paid canvass and from Is
suing a.n official statement thereof until the- final
ori~fer in this proceeding shall be entered ani a
proper writ of mandamu.' issued.
Justice Mac Lean, after looking at the papers
called Hr. Gilbert, of counsel for tho • -tltion
ers before him and said: "I see. this affidavit
is based on information and belief. I cannot
grant a Pay asiinpt the Board of County Can
vassers on f-o vieue an uripltcation."
Mr. Gilbert replied that the moving papers
were identical with !ho.s<» used last yar, which
a juntice of tl-« Supreme Court had eigrned, but
JuFtl' a Maclean would not grant the manda
mus against tie Board of Canvassers. I^ater ha
elgned the order to show cause, making It re
turnable before Justice DotvlinK In Special Term,
Part I, to-morrow mdrnlns;.
Tammany end Hearst members of the Board
of Aldermen beld a caucus in the City Hall yes
terday and (emonstrated their control of tho
Board of County Canvassers. Reginald C. Doull
was rhosen as chairman of the board. There are
forty-four New York County aldermen, and of
these tho Tammany and Hearst man claim to
have twenty-seven. Mr. Doull was chairman of
the Roard of County Canvassers a year ago.
"FTXGEV" STILL ON GUARD
Republicans Shall Not Steal State
if He KnoK-8 It.
There are loud calls from Buffalo for William J.
Conners to come home and parcel out some of the
good things he promised the "boyB" after Novem
ber 6, but '•Fingey" prefers to linger on the burn
ing dei at the Victoria. He was there yesterday.
He saM that the Republicans were trying to steal
the state, but thai he would not allow th.-in "to
get away" with It. Mr. Conners said: "The move
by tho Republicans to have the void and protested
ballots counted is nothing more or less than a
scheme •" have the ballot boxes opened. They de
nied Mr. Hearst a recount last year, but they are
trying to nave them opened themselves."
Mr. Coni apparently had forgotten that Mr.
Hearst obtained an order last year by which all
protested anil void ballots were' examined by the
court and counted or thrown out on their merits.
"Are you going to do anything to prevent this
movement?" Chairman < tenners was asked.
"That matter is In the hands of our law com
mittee," he replied.
Asked about the McCarren Incident, Mr. Conner*
priM he would not appoint his Investigating com
mittee until the latter part of the week? He said
"The committee will act in a fair ;t;..i Impartial
manner, and If McCarren is innocent everything
will be all right; If not, ho can't remain on the
committee."
J.'What will you doUf the courts say you can't
drop a man that way?" Mr. Connors was' asked
The state chairman Illustrated bis answer by call
ing attention to the fact that there were two men
in the room beside* the reporter who was talking
to him, and he said: "There's three of us, and if
•we toM you to got out of this room, you'd gel out "
"Do you mi-. to say you'll kick him out?"
"1 don't care to say any tiling more," Mr < 'on
iits answered.
diaries K. Murphy was not at Tammany Hall
yesterday, and it was said he was not expected
Mr. Conners will not go to Buffalo before* to
night at the earliest, and he said he would prob
ably stay here a day or two longer.
WOODRUFF BACK IN TOWN.
Has Affidavits from Bruce, Mayer and Lewis
for Use in Court.
State Chairman Woodruff ram<* to town yester
day from his camp In the Adlrondacks, where he
haa bern entertaining Charles K. Hughes and sev
eral of his running mates on the Republican ticket.
He brought with him affidavits from Lieutenant
Governor Bruce, Attorney General Mayer and Sen
ator Lewis to be used In th« court proceedings
Instituted by A. S. Gilbert in behalf of tlie Ite
publli-:in law committee.
Chairman Woodruff Bald that ha was deeply in
terested, as were all the candidates, in obtaining
an accurate count of the votes, and any proceed
ing which could brt brought to obtain that end
would li« of tho utmost importance to tha iteuuLi
llcui party. He said, further:
1 have not been requested by any candidate on
the Republican wtat« ticket to Institute any con
test, or to institute any proceeding to open the
ballot boxes. Bo far as the procedure of having a
Count of the protested and void ballots by order
of the court Is concerned, thai is simply the method
provided by the Election law to correct any errors
that may nave been made by t:.-r boards of in
spectors of the various election districts, and Is a
proceeding which is usually Instituted after every
close election in order to ascertain the exact re
ii.is proceeding can be Instituted by any candi
date who has baei voted for In any election dis
trict, and I took thi precaution of obtaining veri
fied petitions from some of the *tate candidates
who were voted for In every election district for
v.-»> In case it seemed desirable to apply to th«
courts for a count of the void and protested bal
lots. Of course, this baa nothing whatever to do
with the question ■..-" opening tli« ballot boxes, ps
these veld and protested I .allot h constitute a purt
of the returns of the Inspectors, placed In sealed
envelopes and sent in with the returns.
Most of tho etat« chairman's day was spent at
Republican Headquarters. He went through an
accumulation of mall and saw a few callers. He
plans to return to Karrjp Kill Kara this morning.

formed the keynote of all the ipeechea. From Mr.
Chanler through the list the speakers said they

M\ Hearst, wh«n introduced by the toastmaster,
■aid:
My friends. I am very grateful for this testimo
nial of friendship and very proud of your expres
sions of confidence and esteem.
And not only am I proud of this occasion, but I
am proud of the fight we have made. It was a good,
hard fight, sword to sword and shield to shield, and
I enjoyed It from the beginning to the end.
I am proud, too. of the cause we fought for. It
Is the right, and will be recognized as right as soon
as the din and dust and confusion of the battle
shall subside.
I am proud, also, to think that the cause wo
fought for wen some success In this campaign, and
will win complete success later on. I am Just as
sure that this partial victory foretells a greater
victory as I am that the first faint flush of dawn
foretells the full glory of the day.
"When, as I say, the din and dust of battle shall
subside, the essential justice of our principles
must be almost universally lecognized. Our de
mands are simply that the great public service
corporations shall not include our government
among their assets or carry our public servants
upon their private payrolls. ...
Our denands are simply that the principles of
the Declaration of Independence and of the Con
stitution ihall b<» taken seriously and applied lit
erally; that the government shall be controlled
by the majority of the citizens and conducted for
the beneft of the whole people rather than for
the special advantage of any particular class
Our denands are simply that the corporations,
■while allowed to conduct '.heir business with per
fect freedom for their own Interests as long as
they do lot Interfere with the rightl of others,
shall not be allowed to control our politics and
debauch |ur electorate. ,
Our denands are simply thnt the trusts shall not
break the laws and buy Immunity; that the legit
imate development of organization and combina
tion shal redound to the benefit of th« people,
and not t» their Injury through trust sxtortion and
tr & know' hat 'when these Ideas an thoroughly'
understool they will meet with complete approval
and will lot be considered dangerous or 'anarchis
tic." but grill be recognized as Just aid patriotic
lam sire that the conduct of public office by our
elected oflclals here to-night will dc tho greatest
amount t. make the advantage of these . P nnclpl«3
clear to a! the people, and to give th»m the utmost
conndenci in the righteousness of on- cauM,
I wish to thank you, my friends, for the expres
sions you have offered of your go<a will ana or
your gooc opinion. mv associate, H th, husfness
" T wish to thank my aspoclites h th« bueinesa
world for their belief that a man who conducts
sucrespruly businesses amounting to ?l..<Wn.«j'») or
$15flO>000 annuall> Is not altogether a business Idiot
and a meiace to legitimate business.
I wish to thank the Independent Republicans nnd
trie Indenetdent labor voters for their support and
for their ltyalty in voting tha whole ticket.
I wish tot --ink the trusts and their corrupt ser
vants in oflce and In control of party machinery
for their optositton to me. And 1 assure them that
I will alwaia .1" my best to deserve th»ir opposi
tion rs long as there Is a criminal trust to rob the
people or a corrupt official to betray the peopie.
Mr. Chanla-. before Introducing the other speak
ers, said in part:
Gentlemen as most of you know, this dinner
was hurrledl,' arranged >y those candidates for
state office u>on the Democratic ticket who ware
successful and who realised thai their success was
due to one cuise, and to one cause alone, and that
was the trenendoua campaign against organized
corruption, so nobly foisbt by him who was and
who to-night s, our leaaer.
As to the cause of hli defeat, there can be littles
discussion. H« was beaten by the votes of Demo
crats under tie organisation of those who feared
for their owl politlcEl existence should he be
elected and < r those who feared for their own
financial exlstmce shoald he be in a position to
expose their :nti"ns in the past.
Now, sp^aktog again for myself, I say frankly
tlint. should li« who Is to-day the accepted elected
Oovernoi of tWs state prr,\e. himself a man with
brain enough! a man broad »noi!gh, fearless ugh.
to realize the truth of the great popular demand
■which Mr. lie/. *■ represent. If he can break loose
from the shadcles which we Democrats believe
bind him and cm fV> SOmetMng along the line indi
cated by Mr. Hearst— lf. 1 »a -, speaking l'nr my.
self, Mr. Hugb« does what Mr. Hearst would have
done; If Mr. Hughes makes the determined, the
honest effort which Mr. Hearst would have mad*
to attack the evils whirl exist in this state. I
would be glad to give hln my support along th*
Hues and folloving the prirciples laid down by Mr.
Hearst.

Judge-elect Charles I*. Guy Bald that although
a Democrat through and through, hi» would never
permit his opinion as a Justtco of th« Supreme
Court to be biassed by anything political. Mr. Guy
thanked Mr. Hearst for his election, saying that
■without tha hitter's work It could never have been
accomplished.
Nathan Straus said he thought ha had received
credit which he did not deserve. Continuing, he
said:
I simply saw that a friend of mine was not re
ceiving what I would call fair treatment. They
used means that wer« foul; they used means which
W«n unfair, and they use.l means which I hated
the most, and. unfortunately, there was so much
mudslinger!? that It had some effect on those that
di.l not know him. When I heard that Mr. Hearst
would be the candidate. I told my wife I was go
ing to take the stump, although I was not accus
tomed to speaking, and if my brother had not re
ceived the appointment In the ministry of Presi
dent Roosevelt's Cabinet, I bad planned to stump
the state and t«ll the peopla what a man Mr.
Hearst was. for I know him.
Recorder OofC said. In part:
The custom has been that the Lieutenant Gover
nor uuat be made a figure, that ho must not dare
to express his thoughts. New we have this unique
picture presented to Mr. Chandler, new to office,
new to fame, political Cam*, the inheritor of a dis
tinguished name a nodal figure, an intellectual
figure— have him elected to tho office of Lieu
tenant Governor. I take the liberty of express
ing my opinion that tht> unwritten law with all the
for of custom should have no weight with Mr.
Chandler.
