IT'S A TIE BETWEEN
AVERY AND CONLEY
Senatorial Contest in Thirty
Fourth District.
CONTEST IN POLK COUNTY
Republicans Cause Registrars Arest---Later
Reports Increase Democratic Majorities.--
-Four Republican Senators With
Possibility Of Five.

Interest in Raleigh centered yesterday
in the Senatorial contest in the Thirty
fourth district, composed of the counties
of Burke Mcdowell, Caldwell and Alex
ander. Everything else was settled, ex-
cept two or three counties and the Tenth
Congressional district. in which it was
regarded as. sure that Gudger had ma
jority.
The contest in the Thirty-f fourth Sena-
torial district has been critical for a
month. The district gave a substantial
Democratic majority for the State ticket
In the Senatorial convention in Mcdowell
there was a close contest for the nomi-
nation between Mr.. E. J. Justice ana
Maj. W. A. Conley. AS result of the
charges and counter charges. growing
out of that convention, Maj. Conley be-
came an Independent Democratic candi-
date for the Senate against Mr.. Justice
Afterwards, the Independents and Re-
publicans endorsed the candidacy of Maj.
Conley and Mr.. Moose against Judge
Avery and Mr. Justice. The admitted
strength of Mai. Conley and the large
Republican vote in the district has made
Democrats anxious about the district.
Last night it was printed in these col
umns that Mr. Justice was elected, but
that it would require the official vote to
determine whether Judge Avery or Mai.
COnley had the majority. Returns re-
ceivcd last night indicate that the vote
is a tie.

says she saw the poison package mailed
by man not Mo1ineux, was called late

quickly restored in the courtroom.
Replying to a question as to what she
did Friday, December %, 1898, Mrs. Ste
phenson said she went to the main post
office in New York to mail a package and
got in line with other persons. A man
in front of her with a package aroused
her curiosity because he seemed very
nervous, and she saw the name Cor
nish" and the words "Knickerbocker
Club" on the package. She said the man
left the postoffce and she did not know
where he went after that. The poison
package wrapper was shown to the wit
ness and she said the address looked like
the one she saw in the postoffice. Mrs.
Stephenson said she attended the cOro-
ner's inquest and saw Molineux. She was
sure he was not the man and told her
husband she ought to make known her
knowledge. He persuaded her that there
was no occasion for her to mix up in the
matter
When the trial was on she went to offer
her testimony, but was shut oil by the
decision of the lawyers to offer no de-
fense. Then after Molineuxs conviction
she sent word of the evidence she had to
give to General MolinouX.

This is a tie vote. These figures were
obtained from reliable sources in all the
counties. and telegram from Mr.. Justice
says that the vote between Judge Avery
and Maj. Conley is tie.
In the case of a tie in a Senatorial
district. what is the method of determin-
ing who shall have the certificate? In
1896 there was a tie in Jackson coun-
ty between Speaker Moore and Mr.. Ems
ley Another election was called and
Mr.. Ensley was elected by a small ma
jority. But that was before the passage
Of the present election law Under the
present law, it would seem that the SEN
atorial Board of Canvassers have the pow
er to determine the matter.
The County Canvassing Board is given
power under Sections 81 and SO of the
Election Law of 1901 to canvass the vote
for county officers and determine the re-
suit, and in case of tie to determine
who is elected by breaking the tie. This,
of course, applies to the candidates for
the House of Representatives and for
Senator where the district is composed of
hut one county. Where the Senatorial
district is composed of more, than one
county the chairmen of the County Board
