ONLY A RECOUNT.
G. v. Wolf Will Not Contest Election,
He Says.

C. v Wolf says that he does not in
tend to contest the nomination of Silas
Rain for county commissioner, but will
simply demand a recount of the ballots
by the central committee. He will not
file formal contest papers, but will ask
that discrepancies in the method of
counting the ballots in different pre-
cincts be corrected. For instance, in
some precincts all challenged ballots
were not counted. while in other pre-
cincts they were counted.
There is a difference between a con-
test and a recount" Mr.. Wolf said. "A
contest cannot be made without reg
ular contest court, and I do not pro-
pose to enter into anything of that
kind but will leave it to the central
committee to count the ballots again on
a uniform PLAN

claim that a large number of these bal

Syracuse Herald: The Republican
in active charge of the McKin-

have been looking over the situation,
and coming to the conclusion that New
York Is the pivotal state in the presi-
Dental election, have determined that
this state shall furnish the nominee for
vice president. This state which gave
Mckinley 100000 four years ago. and
the next year elected a Democratic
chief judge of the court of appeals by
nearly 10000. and was carried by Roose-
welt by only 1900, may rightly be con-
sidered close and possibly doubtful. in
the coming national struggle. 1t is the
fact that New York in thirty years has
never been carried twice in succession
by the same party in presidential cleo
tions. Under this rule the Democrats
would have the better chance this year.
