But Unofficial, gives McClellan :
1 3,485 Plurality Over Hearst. *

NEW YORK Nov. 8.—
Whether Geo. B. McClellan or
William R. Ilearst is to be the
next mayor of Greater New York
must be decided bv the courts.
Full returns from every election
district give McClellan a plurality
of 8,485, but this so small—only
a little more than one-half of one
per cent of the vote cast—that
a recount and reinspection of the
ballots might easily sweep it. away
and show Hearst the winner.
Indignant at what he believed
to be suspicious holding back of
returns last night and roused to a
of violence and outrage at the
polls told at his headquarters by
scores of his followers, Mr. Hearst
refused to admit defeat, and
dared that ho would see that
every man that voted for him got
a fair count of his vote. In his
demand for a recount Mr. Hearst
is supported by District Attorney
William T. Jerome, himself
torious in his single-handed fight
against the great Tammany ma-
chine.
