Hearst Still at It 235 Seeks New York Recount Hearing
In Albany on May 22 Attorney General Mayer held a hearing on William R. Hearst’s bid to file quo warranto to challenge George B. McClellan’s mayoral title. Hearst contends miscounts and intimidation affected the vote while Hearst’s counsel cites 600 of 1,948 districts miscounted and lack of election officer representation. The corporation counsel argues the case lacks prima facie proof and Judge Butts seats skepticism while Mayer reserves decision.
