The Iyde fac tion tried to get a recount and was voted down, also to have a stenog rapher take notes on the hearing of challenges. A motion by the Hyde faction to have the count of Tuesday stand was voted down. The commit tee, by a vote of 13 to 12, dismissed the petition of nine .Hyde aldermanic candidates for a recount and deferred action on the petitions for a recount presented by Mr. Hyde and Mr. Grace. Excellent order prevailed all through the night, and careful precautions ef fectively forestalled any danger of outbreaks. The crowd in front of the Hibernian Hall was noisy but good na tured. It is considered assured that the Hyde faction will endeavor to take the election findings into court. It is believed that a formal announcement to this effect will be made in a day or two, especially in view of Mr. Hyde's statement this afternoon. Mr. IHtyde's 'petition for a recount has not been refused by the committee, dis position of it being deferred by ac tion of the committee last night, as was done with Mr. Grace's~ petition. The ballot boxes remain locked and in a sealed room at the Hibernian Hall in ofilcial custody. Meanwhile, ofilcial ly, the city Democratic executive com mittee has rendered its decision, and Mr. Grace is the declared mayoralty nominee of the party, defeating Mr. Hlyde by a remarkably close vote, af ter one of the bitterest municipal cam piaigns this city has ever had.
