AURORA, Ind., November 4.—Six election inspectors were arrested here yesterday and the balloting was held up for several hours when a public demonstration which nearly reached the proportions of a riot followed a declaration by the inspectors that the ballots weré illegal and that the elec- tion could not proceed. The inspectors when taken to police headquarters by Chief of Police George Goodpaster refused to the ballots. They were rele later rearrested by county authorities, who took the ballots from them. All were placed under $1,500 bond. The ballots were declared illegal by the inspectors because they did not contain a cltizens' ticket, consisting of candidates backed by an anti-Klan faction who were defeated in the pri- marfes by the Klan candidates. The citizens' committee had an appeal pending with the State Supreme Court to have its ticket placed on the ballot. Democrats Carry Albany. ALBANY. N. Y., November 4 (P) 3 m S.
