ASKEQF0R HE CITY OF BOSTON Taft Managers Believe Votes Were Illegally
 Thrown Out

Boston, May "A petition was iiied with the Boston board of election com missioners tonight by Chairman Herman Hormel of the republican state committee asking for a recount of the vote cast at Tuesdays primaries for republican dele gates at large in every ward in Boston except the Seventh. Tomorrow similar petitions will De filed asking for re- counts of the vote for republican dele gates at large throughout the state.
 The Taft managers hope that the re- count will show that the number of ballots thrown out because crosses were marked for both ex-Senator Frank Sei- berlich and the regular Taft ticket, head ed by Senator Crane, would have been sufficient. if counted. to have elected the Taft ticket for delegates at large. The voters were allowed to vote for but eight names but the proximity of the name of Seiberlsh, also pledged for Taft, to the regular ticket, resulted, it is claimed, in many voters invalidating their ballots by marking all nine names.
 According to the state Taft leaders the recount is asked for primarily so that the Taft forces will have some basis on which to make fight for the seating of their delegates at the national conven- ton.
 .Governor Foss today released the dele- gates elected on the democratic ballot from any obligations they might feel to vote for him as presidential nominee.

Louisville, Ky. May 2.-The feud be- ty cen former Gov J. c. w Beckham, who has espoused the cause of Woodrow Wilson in Kentucky. and Henry Waiter sen. has reached the stage of personal ities today. Under the caption "A Dis. eased Liar and 'grhe Illumination of a Coarse Blackguard and an Iliterate Blath- erskite" the Courier-Journal this morning reprints an attack on MT. Watterson made by Beckham in another newspaper issu- ing yesterday afternoon, commenting, by way of introduction to what Beckham said:
 "The following rigmarole of dirt mal- evolence and lying was yesterday put forth by the most infamous members of the firm of Haley, Beckham x Co.,"
 Accompanying the article was an edl- torial by MT. Watterson in the same, vein.
 The attack on MT. Watterson by for mer Governor Beckham is no less severe. charging him with deliberate and willful hcnor," and wanting in every instinct of a gentleman"
 MT Beckham concludes:
 Coming to Kentucky long after he had reached maturity. he has boasted and advertised himself abroad as the typical Kentucky colonel, and 1t causes the blush Of shame to come to the cheek of any loyal son of the old commonwealth to hear strangers ever speak of such a man as representing the chivalric man. hood and lovely womanhood of Ken- tucky.p

B. We'd dell of Montgomery. one of the first wit nesses for the prosecution. on cross ex- animation Weddel stuck to his story, though he admitted np other persons were present during his conversation with Allen.
 Six witnesses, three of them spectators at the shooting affray, testified. The first, D. w. Bolens lawyer. who was defend Ing Allen in the court where the murders occurred, testified that he saw Claude Allen fire the first shot, and that it struck Judge Massie. Court officials returned the fire, he said. Two of the jurymeif who were then trying Allen testified, one of them that Allen had fired in the di- rection of where he last saw Foster, the commonwealth attorney. who was killed. Other witnesses told of conversations with Allen, in which he had threatened Foster.
 Prosecutor Wysor, opening the case, said he would show there was a con spiracy among the Aliens to shoot up the court if Floyd Allen was convicted. Att torney Willis, for the defense, retorted that reports of the tragedy had been grossly exaggerated and that he would in- troduce testimony to show that Bettie Ayres was killed by a bullet from Clerk Dexter Goads revolver and not by the Aliens. The defense would show, he said, that Floyd Allen had been wounded be- fore he had taken part in the shooting.
