IMPORTANT CASE ON APPEAL

House

flying that the precinct of Pearl had
not been legally established and that
therefore no provision was made for
holding an election there. The pecu.
liar feature is that the precinct re-
turned % votes in the Democratic
primary, that preceded the election. !
"The returns, now that they are
sorted, are not as bad as thought
they would be-" said Secretary Nathan
Jaffa today. "It is true, there are
technical Irregularities and omissions,
but none of them of nature to indi-
cate any intentional wrong doing"
The canvassing board adjourned to
2 o'clock this afternoon to finish the
preliminaries to the actual counting.
II is not likely that any of the elett
ton judges will be summoned and
that with the receipt of the ballot box
es for the precincts from which official
returns are missing, the board will be
in position to make quick work of the
actual tabulation of the vote and be
able to announce it by Saturday of
next week.
