 Moderator, John Trace; republican counters, Dwight w. Blakeslee and Dwight W. Baldwin; democratic count CTS, James Carr and Charles F. Flynn, signed the Second ward returns. It is stated that John J. Carr will bring suit in the superior court, to have the matter of recount of the vote of the Third and Fourth wards decided 1 The papers in the case have not yet been drawn, but they will probably be | in the shape of a petition for a recount | in the First, Third, Fourth and Twelfth wards and possibly others. His appli- l cation will set up that in various city I wards ballots were wrongfully rejected | by the moderators which bore his name as a candidate for registrar which l should have been counted. He calcu- l lates that there were about 100 ballots l rejected in which license ballot was l in the envelope with the regular town 1 ticket, and which was rejected. 1 The decisions of the moderators oi | the Third and Fourth wards in throw l ing out the ballots was entirely unpar- l tisan, and the same is true in other wards, both democratic and republican modera tors having declared the ballots l illegal. Prentice w. Chase, candidate l for alderman in the Second ward, saiC yesterday that he should make no pro, test at the filing of this return by the l moderat tor. He stated that he hac never protested against the republican votes being counted, but had said thai he thought it llnwise for the moderator to withdraw his decisiom after he ha6 l made it.
