throwing out several Republican precincts.
They have all the machinery in their hands,
and there is little doubt that Golf will be
counted out. This unprecedented closeness
OF the vote, not only for Governor but In each
of the Congressional districts causes great
excitement throughout the State. The returns
show that Golf and two Republican Congress-
men are elected, but the recount demanded
by the Democrats is clearly for one purpose,
and that is to take advantage of the closeness
of the vote. In Mercer county, where the Re-
publicans have majority Of 81, Democratic
agents have been dispatched and will use ev-
cry means to throw out the entire vote on
technical grounds. The board of commission
ers in that county Is solidly Democratic. The
Republicans are unable to combat the effort
to cheat them out Of the State, being without
funds. AT the secret conference Of the Demo-
cratic leaders held here Saturday night the
scheme now being carried out was hatched
and the money raised to prosecute 1t. The
Republican State committee Is confident that
the State Is Republican on fair count The
throwing out of Mercer county will mean
more than the defeat of Golf. 1t will pr0ba-
bly, give the Democrats the Legislature by
one majority, and IL is the United States Sem
atorship they are after. In the matter Of car
rying out their plans they have aid from:out-
