DEMOCRATS WATCH
VOTE TABULATION
Official Count of Ballots at
Madison Receives Attention.
RECOUNT MAY BE DEMANDED
Action Possible by kareI Supporters
if McGovern's Plurality for Cover
norship Should Prove to Be Slight
Refuse to Make Any Statement.

Milwaukee.-Wh Whether there will
be a recount of the votes cast for
governor at the recent election Will
depend, democratic leaders say, on
developments in the canvass OF the
vote which is now going forward IN
the various counties of the state.
They are watching the returns care
fully and the slightest irregularity
shown in any county indicating
crooked work will be followed by
demand for recount in that county,
provided it is shown that the vote OF
the county might affect the general
result.
If the plurality of Gov. McGovern
should in the final canvass show
that he leads by a decisive plurality
the recount talk will die out. On the
other hand should the complete re-
turns reduce the governors plural
ity to a few thousand then some ac-
ton may be taken to see that Judge
Karel gets all the vote to which he
is entitled and that the governor gets
no more than he ought to have. No
action will be taken until the Off
cial returns are made known.
Harry F. McLogan, secretary of
the democratic state central commit
tee, has been at Madison looking
over the returns received at the office
of the secretary of state from the
different counties. He was said to
have refused to express an opinion
as to whether the committee would
ask for a recount of the guberna-
tOriaI vote
