Hartford, Conn., April 9.—Joseph H. Lawler, democrat, was sworn in as mayor of Hartford dt 11 o'cléek today. The inaugural Wwas at City hall and the oath was administered by Judge Edward L. Smith, of the court of commofi pleas, who is an ex-mayor of the eity. usually the retiring mayor pertorms this service for his successor, but Mr, Lawler's friends say they were unable to gét in touch with Mayor Louis R. Chetiey at any time duting the fore- noon to prefer a request that he ad- minister the oath. Mayor Lawler’s ihaugural took place in the common couneil chamber and 1hie latge room was packed with spec- tators, among thein many womsn and members of Mr. Lawler's family. Marshal Hart Taleott, re«slected Tuesday, escorted the mayor-elect bearing the staff of office which has been handed down to successive Hart- ford mayors since the time of Thotnas Seymour in 1784. At the conclusion of the cerémony there was u burst of cheers and at the same time Willlam F. Burns, custodian of City hall, raised & brand new flag on the staff sur- mounting the hall. Mayor Thanks Friends. In a briéf speech Mayor Lawler thanked his friends for theé interest shown in his cahdidacy and election snd reaffirmed his pre-élection pledges. I will do my whole duty as God' gives me strength and puts it be- fore me in the light that should be done,” concluded thé new mayor, A half hour's Treception followed during which hundreds of persotis grasped the youthful mayor by the band @&nd offefed congratulations. Between the hours of 8 o'clock this morning and the time when Mayor Lawlér was inaugurated Alderman Malachi Hogan was at the head of the city governmeént. At the former hour he was officially informed of Mayor Cheney’s - resighation by the latter’s secretary and requested to act accordingly. First OMcial Act. Mayor Lawler's first official act was tne issuance of 4 call to6 members of the court of common ¢ouncil t6 meet tonight, as a canvassing board, to canvass Tuesday’'s vote. That body «consists of forty-one democrats and ninetéen republicans, so there is no doubt of the resuit. Many lawyers of the city in dis- cussing Mayor Cheney’s action in re- signing take the ground that City Clerk Smith was without authérity and acted outside his province in give ing a certificate of election to Mayor Cheney. It is pointed out that the chief moderator of the city declined toisign. any -elecsion - return which would include the fourth ward, but that he did sign a return with the fourth ward vote omltted, and this re- turn would give the election to Mr. Lewler. In ‘addition Mr. Mahon filed a declaration of Mr. Lawler's election with a return from the fourth ward giving Mr. Lawler 100 more votes than ‘the . faulty machine showed. Other lawyers particularly on the re publican side say this has no legal standing. However, it is conceded that the signature of Mr. Mahon, the chief moderator on the completed returns s necessary before the election results complete, and Mr, Mahon says that by signing the two sets of re- torns Wednesday night he thus com- rletéd the duty assigned him. After the vote is canvassed tonight showing Mayor Lawler’s election _ it will be the duty of City Clerk Smith to issue a certificate of such election. The fact that he offered such a cer tificite to Mayor Cheney last night furnishes a mixed situation. Governor Praises Cheney. New Haven, April 9.—"Mayor Cheney is a high-minded man,” said Governor Baldwin today, commenting on the outcome of Hartford's city election. “His course in resigning the mayoralty i8 a high-minded one. The incident will be a serious blow to those favoring the extension of the use of voting machines” | 0. U. A. M. BASEBALL MEETING. There will be a meeting of the O. U. A.
