Mr.. Comerford stated today that he
fully expected the committee to report
against him. He added that he lis pre-

reports concerning Las Animas and
HuerfanO votes.
If this is done. they declare, Governor
Adams viii retain his seat.
The ballot boxes opened today were
in bad condition, and the Republicans
may ask that the testimony which the
Democrats expect to secure from these
boxes shall be thrown out on this ac-
count.
Eleven witnesses identified their bal
lots today. and all but one picked out
their ballots from a number of others.
The ballots identified today were Sc
lected from several precincts and had
been declared fraudulent by three diff
ferent experts.
