Delaying Charter Count.

Denver. June 5.-The official count
of the vote in Denver on the election
of charter convention delegates was
commenced by City and County Clerk
Aichele and two justices of the peace
yesterday morning.
The candidates having majorities
feared an attempt by the City Council
to assume the canvass of the vote and
obtained an injunction from Judge
Mullins.
County Clerk Aichele then began
the canvass of the vote.
Later In the day, at the prayer of
candidates on the Republican ticket.
Judge Palmer issued an injunction
which stopped the count.
Under Judge Palmers order the
clerk cannot canvass the vote.
Under Judge Mullins order the City
