The mayor. clerk and treasurer met in the
council chamber as the board authorized
by the charter 20 canvass the primary cleo
ton returns. The first duty required Of
them was 20 canvass the face Of the re-
turns; secondly, as a recount had been de-
manded by P. J. Barrel and Thomas O'Con-
nor the board made a recount of the votes
ON the Offices to which they aspired. The
reading of the face of the returns did not
materially change the result. though there
were several corrections. These did not
cause any difference in those nominated.
The largest discrepancy discovered was in
the case OF Frank Dworak 1t was found
that he had been credited with forty votes
too many. Stin he had enough to win by
large plurality.
AS soon as the face OF the returns was
csuvassed the board took up the recount
Of the democratic ballots. This required all
the afternoon. The result Of the recount
showed that Queenan had been credited
with 10 votes too many. while Tom O'Con-
nor had been given u too few. In place Of
AZ for Queenan the corrected figures
should be 462. and the correction in O'Con-
nor's case reads from zoe to 424 Most Of
this discrepancy was found in the First OF
the Sixth ward. In the recount Of the vote
