P I | i I | FRENCH | ELECTED? Deadlock in City Council Over Election of Mayor to Succeed Ludington. A. B. HAZEN CLAIMS THAT HE CAN HOLD CHAIR, ® Bowser and Graham Declare French Election Regular— Law Books Resorted to, Whether or not A. B. Hazen, elected temporary chairman of the city council at the meeting held yesterday afternoon to act upon the resignation of former Mayor Ludington, can hold the office permanently seems to be the question of the day and con- siderable interest is manifested as to the outcome of the affair. J. H, French was nominated as a canidate for wayor and when a vote was taken it was found that Hazen and Bailey vot ed against his election, while Graham and Bowser voted aye, causing a deadlock. Immediately after the vote had been taken, Aldermen Graham and Bowser raised the question of whether Mr, Hazen had a right to vote, claiming that so long as he held the chair he was not allowed to dcso under the law. Messrs. Bailey and Hazen insisted that Mr. Hazen had a perfect right to vote whether he held the chair or not, A. B. HAZEN, Counciiman and Street Commis- sioner, and who claims also to be mayor of the city. and after a heated discussion the meeting broke up witnout having been successfully disposed of. Alderman Bowser was seen soon after the meeting had been closed and he stated that a may- or could not vote except in case of a tie, and that in the election of Mr. French there was nothing irregular, as he and Mr, Graham had both voted for his election and there could not be more than one vote against. Mr. Graham declares that he cannot see how Mr. Hazen can be mayor, but thinks that Mr. Hazen had a vote coming. Both Hazen and Bailey claim tnat so long as there is no one ap- pointed to succeed Mayor Lud- ington, Mr. Hazen can hold the chair, as he presided at the last meeting and cannot be removed before Mr, Ludington’s success- or is appointed. Mr. Hazen stated this morning that there was no doubt in his mind about the affair and was confident that he would act as the city’s chief executive until the expiration of the term for which Mr. Luding- ton was elected. He was asked whether or not he intended to re- sign any of his positions and re- plied that he had not the slightest intention of so doing and would accept as many more as the city saw fit to give him, Meanwhile, law books are be- ing resorted toand members of the legal profession are busy at- tempting to unravel the tangle. Several of the law libraries of the city havealready been perus- ed but as yet no definite conclu- sion has been arrived at. To Entertain Ladies.
