CAN RECOUNT BALLOTS

IlUnoli Supreme Court P.ulei Judge Ifll •cy Was Without Authority—Commlsaionera Keleaxed. Chicago. \pril 22. —lYll'.iam Ixhv imer's efforts to prevent a recount of the ballots in the Sixth congressional election have failed. The supreme court of Illinois has handed down a decision holding that Judge Hanegy had absolutely no authority to Issue his famous injunction against the election board and its chief clerk. “He Interposed his autho.ity without warrant or right,” say the judges. The writs of habeas corpus asked for by the commisioners and Mr. Powell were granted, the cases for contempt against them dismissed, and the prisoners released from custody. The result is a complete victory for the attorneys and advisors of the board, who have claimed all along that the chancery courts had no right to Interfere by injunction In election contests. The recount will now go on Thursday morning, to which date tt was adjourned, and if fraud and other irregularities were used in the election it will soon be known.
