ERRORS FOUND IN THE CITY PRESS rIGUaEs-THE
BOARD TO MEET TO-DAY.
After recess the returns of the lid Assembly
District were canvassed. On motion OF Alderman
Kirk il was ordered that instead of reading each
name on the electoral ticket in each election dis
tr,ct only the first name be read where all on each
ticker receive the same number of votes In the
Third Election District it was found that Oswald
Ottepdorfer, the first elector named on
the Democratic ticket, received 2l3 votes.
while for each of the other Electors on
that ticket there were 2l6 votes. As the Pollce
returns were based on the first name on the ticket
this makes 3 additional votes for Cleveland to
be added to these. In the Eighth District 1t was
found that vote had been cast for Belva Lock
wood for member of Assembly. This caused
laugh. At this point Chairman Waite said that it
was evident that Judge Daly's total vote on the re-
turns of the Seventh Election District of the ls As
sembly District was set down as 80 more than II
shoud be- and on motion OF Alderman
Kirk the returns spoken OF were re-
ferred to the Committee on Corrections In
the Fifteenth Election District Ottcndorfer and
Wood on the Democratic Electoral ticket each re-
ceived one vote less than their associates. This
makes an addition of one vote for Cleveland more
than is shown on the Police returns.
CORRECTING CLERICAL ERRORS
clerical error appeared in the returns of the
Seventeenth Election District by which 1GS votes
were given the Democratic Electoral ticket instead
of 1ss winch appeared to be the correct figures as
indicated on the County Clerks return. Alderman
OConnor said that this was an apparent
error and moved that the returns be
sent back for correction. Alderman
Grant said that on the sample ballots appended to
the returns the figure was correctly set down as
1ss Alderman OConnor's motion was lost-12 to
T-and ss was counted for the Cleveland ticket.
Some of the counsel had pressed around the table
where the returns were being read and Alderman
Kirk said
