The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-10-12
FAIRFIELD

There is some specu1ating among To- cal politicians regarding the outcome of the recount next week before the court in Bridgeport. Gentlemen who are in a position to give an opinion en- titled to weight, having gone over the tally sheets, think the error was caused by counting the split ballots but neglect1ng, in the final summing up, to count the straight part Of the same tickets. A close examination of the figures and situation, ex parte, of course, leads to the following conclu- get 22 more votes; MT. Fox will receive 10 more, and Clarence H. Bradley, for assessors, will receive 30 more. If this turns out to be a, correct estimate of the results of the recount, MT. Rome will become first selectman, but MT. Fox will continue to be a member Of the board. Keep these figures in mind and compare them with the re- suit of the recount.
