Santa fs. n A., Nov. i3-With
1875 scattered election precincts still

days election Is still IN doubt az to
some OF the candidates on the state
ticket AS near as can be ascertain
ed from the returns already IN Me-
Donald's majority for governor IL
about 1000 and It Is believed that the
election of the governor carries with
It that Of every other man on the
democratic ticket including the JUS
tices OF the supreme court.
The republican central committee
this afternoon issued statement
claiming the election of Clancy for
attorney general by a majority OF
over one thousand and that nf curry,

forty votes, stroup, for school sup-
erlntendent by ten ard Sargent for

ment WINS issued the republican man
ayers discovered that an error had
been made IN the returns from So
zorro county and lhat the republic
cans had been credited with two hum
dred more majority IA this county
than the returns warranted The
result of this error practically wiped
out all the maIoritles claimed for
the republican candidates with the

self Ia far from optimistic aud IL

The democratic managers here

sides at the delay IN sending In the

OF fraud ana attempted fraud aud
manipulation Of the ballot boxes.
II is charged that IN san Miguel
county on election night the ballot
boxes were for hours In the custody
Of the republican central e0inmittee
Wild rumors are aA0at of frauds in
Valencia and RIO Arriba counties and
color is lent 10 these charges by the
extravaeant claims Of the republican
central committee as TO the vote IN
those counties Published reports
from Valencia county placing Bur
sums majority there az 1,Gig, an in-
posalble neure, have caused sharp
criticism OF those responsible for the
claims In Grant county, where the
complete returns show a majority Of
$50 for Mcdonald, the republican
statement shows a majority Of only
275. This and other equally elarine
misstotemcnts have deprived the re-
publican statement Of all semblance
Of accuracy and II Is given little At
tentIon by those Interested IN the re-
suit Of the election.
