PLACES LA CUARD VTELOSS AT 1 New York Election Board Reports on Check-up of Fraud Charges. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January I13.—After completing & check-up of voting ma- chines in the twentieth congressional district, the Board of Elections re- ported that Representative Fiorello La Guardia, Republican, who was ap- parently defeated for re-election in No- vember, had been deprived of only 18 | of the total votes cast for him. La Guardia has announced a con- test of the seating of James J. Lan- zetta, who led him by slightly more than 1,000 votes. The one error occurred, the board | reported, when an election inspector read “375” on a machine and recorded the vote as “357." The Board of Elections asked the dis- trict attorneys of the five counties com- prising New York City to take official cognizance of discrepancies found in the election results. Grand Jury Investigating. A Federal grand jury has been in- vestigating charges of irregularities in | the vote of candidates for Federal | offices. The Election Board in a resolution | provided that a list of all districts in | which no returns of irregular ballots or paper rolls were made be sent to | the district attorney, with the names | of inspectors of the districts. | The City Affairs Committee sent a | telegram to Gov. Lehman asking him to take steps to impound voting ma- chines and records under the superv sion of S. Howard Cohen, chairman the Board of Elections: to take addi- tional steps to expose election frauds in this city; to supplant District Attorney Crain with a special attorney general empowered to make an investigation, | and to take action calling for a special grand jury to hand down indictments against officials guilty of election fraud conspiracy. Cohen Is Distrusted. The telegram said election records “cannot be entrusted any longer” to Cohen, “who has obstructed a Federal investigation and Wwho, with his as- sociates, is chosen and controlled by the Tammany Board of Aldermen.” William J. Schieffelin, president of | the Society for the Prevention of Crime, | sent a telegram to the Governor re- questing an_extraordinary term of the Supreme Court and & special grand jury to hear evidence as to election frauds.
