SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1O.-Ths Re
publican leaders have decided 10 contest
the election of James II. Budd, the Dem
ocratic GovernoT-elect of California. This
decision was reached late Saturday night
at a meeting OF Daniel Burns, p. y.
Cornwall and other leaders. The first
movement was made In the afternoon,
when Chairman Cornwall, Of the Repub-
lican State Committee, filed protest be-
fore the city election commissioners
against the canvass of returns from ITO
precincts OF San Francisco on the ground
of fraud and irregularities in each. This
protest is purely legal and formal, as
the board is Democratic, and will simply
pigeonhole the protest. II has material
bearing on the Republican procedure
however. as these precincts gave plu-
rality OF something over 1000, by which
Budd was elected. The Republicans next
move will be to apply TO the Supreme
Court for a writ to restrain the election
commission from canvassing the returns
i'm the disputed precincts.
