error in the sheet of entry from the 9Th Election
District Of the 1st Assembly District. If It should

Campbell a gain of 25S votes for Surrogate in the

to verify the figures. Aside from this. there a
gain of three votes for Campbell yesterday, which
makes net gain of 45 votes for Ketcham since the
