McClellan and Hearst Win Contested New York Election
Early returns show McClellan leading Hearst by about 3000 with 26 districts unresolved, Hearst vowing to contest the result alleging fraud. Jerome, in charge of sixth and eighteenth district returns, says fraud was possible and vows a fair count, while McClellan's plurality stands at 5486 with votes distributed across the city. Jerome’s camp anticipates assisting Hearst in prosecutions as investigations promise a heated battle over the election outcome.
