friends of Mr.. EllysoD in the First
Ward Of Manchester because of the con-
d,tlon which caused the tie vote In the
meeting Friday night. 1t is claimed that
a man. formerly of this ward. but now
living in Chesterfield county, voted. and
that his ballot made the tie. This seems
TO be an error, however. But 1t Is true
that through some mistake u Chester
field man was voted for Mr.. Tyler IN
the ballot taken, but this method of con-
Quoting the voting was later abandoned,
and a recorded vote was taken. The
statement has been made that the Ely
son supporters will contest on this
ground. but as far as could be learned
last night the second and prevailing
method was fair and expressed the SEN
timent of all.
