Board of Supervisors Took up Work
This Afternoon Of Going Over
Poll Books of Recent
Election.
LEARN IRREGULARITIES
Said to Have Existed in Sixth Ward
Poll on Day of Election--con-
test Sure to Result
Either Way.

Who will it be, Fred C. Chambers
or Joseph N. Hays for recorder of
Lee county?
This is question which may be
solved this afternoon by the board of
supervisors, who have begun their
work of canvassing the poi1 books of
last Tuesdays election. The board
met early this afternoon anl is now
engaged in its work.
The board will open up the poll
books and go over the tallies, thus
making up the official election re-
suits. This will be announced. and no
matter whether Chambers is declared
elected, or whether Hays is, the YER
dirt will not be final, for contest
will Immediately be filed by the de-
feated candidate and it will be asked
that the ballots themselves be gone
over This task will then be plunged
into by the supervisors and whatever
decision is reached will be final, it is
thought, unless tie results. This
is hardly looked for, for it is believ-
ed that mistakes, one way or the
other are certain to be found in one
or more wards or townships of the
county.
In event of long drawn out con-
| test over the election Chambers will
remain in Office until the contest is
