When Felton won, Sullivan filed an action contesting the election. He claimed that the voters of New Almaden Had been coerced by the management of the company to vote the Republican ticket on fear of being discharged. The charges were denied after taking testimony of many people from New Almaden. To read more about this suit refer to the book, THE NEW ALMADEN QUICKSILVER MINE, by Kenneth M.
