is also some hitch regarding regis
tration; the clerk holding that he
was authorized by law to close the
books at 5 o'clock Monday, May
18th, and in consequence thereof
refusing to enter names of voters
sworn in by the notaries; while no.

are allowed reasonable" time
after 5 o'clock of the aforesaid day
in which to hand the names to the
clerk for registration. 1t looks as
though the matter may be contest
ed in the courts.
