CHARLES GULDEN, MANUFACTURERS AND PACKERS ESTABLISHED 1867 WHITMAN STARTS MOVE TO INSPECT ALL VOID BALLOTS Smith Gains 500 in Official Count of Brooklyn Votes. Justice Manning in the Supreme Court, Kings County, today signed an order asked for by Governor Whitman to show cause why he should not be permitted to examine the void and protested ballots in Kings County. was stated by the Governor's counsel that similar orders applying to all the counties of the State were being asked for today in all of the nine judicial departments.

Requests are being made that all be returnable for argument on Monday. The motion in New York County was made by Herbert L. Limburg and signed by Justice Gavegan. The orders were all based on the fact that the official canvasses in the various counties showed an extraordinary number of void and protested ballots. W.

E. Youker, who appeared counsel for Governor Whitman in the Kings County action, asserted in his papers that the Brooklyn canvass this year showed four times as many voids as two years ago. He asserted that there were 3,566 void and protested ballots reported by the election officials as against 892 two years ago. Alderman Molen placed the number at 3,512. While the Whitman group seeks to intimate that the large number of voids may show an incorrect count, it is pointed out by politicians that the increased number is more likely due to the tremendous influx of inexperienced voters in the persons of the newly enfranchised women.

The completion of the official canvass of the gubernatorial vote in Brooklyn by the Aldermen today showed an increase of about 500 votes in Smith's plurality over that given him by the police figures election night. His plurality then was 77.422, m. the revised figures give him 77.997. The police figures gave the vote as Smith, Whitman, 120.294.

official figures announced today by Chairman Molen were Smith, Whitman. 120.251. Chairman Molen announced that the official canvass of the votes in the contest between Representatives Rowe (Rep.) and Franklin Taylor (Dem.) for Congress in Flatbush increased Powe's plurality by about 400, over the police figures. They gave him a plurality of 184. The official canvass gives him 546.

The olncial tabulations of the vote in this contest follow: Rowe: 17th A. 18th A. 6.991; 21st A. 11,097. Total, 26.551.

DE CASTELNAU ON ENTERING STRASSBURG? Paris, November 22 (Havas) -Gen.

DEMAND NEW BIDS FOR ASH REMOVALS Another Check Applied to Proposed Waste of Hylan The exposure of proposed extravagances of the Hylan administration in the award of city contracts brought another victory for the public today when the Board of Estimate threw out the two pending excessive bids for the removal of ashes from Brooklyn. Street Cleaning Commissioner MacStay was directed to re-advertise for bids. MacStay recently called for bids for the Brooklyn ash removal contract and received two bids. The present contractor, the Brooklyn Ash Removal Company, put in a bid of $1.40 per load, or about 100 per cent. more than its present price.

The criticism directed against MacStay was because he proposed to give a three-year contract, with an option of renewal for two years, based on the war prices of today. The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce filed a sharp protest against this practice. MacStay gotahead of the Board of Estimate by advertising for bids in the City Record today, although he was not authorized to take this action until late this morning. He makes no modification in the terms of the contract, however, proposing to make a three or five- year bargain. He said he had received assurances that two firms in addition to the present con.tractor would submit proposals.
