Ann Arbor Man is Declared
Democratic Nominee for Con-
gress In Second District
From 4 STAFF CorresDonde


LANSING. Mich. Oct 24.--In an
opinion rendered yesterday the su-
preme court settled the controversy
over the Democratic nomination for
congress In the second district, BY
declaring In favor OF Samuel w.
Bsakes. or Ann Arbor. A certificate
OF election had already been granted
TO Burt d. Chandler, OF Hudson, and
Il will be necessary for the state
board of canyassers to meet and
grant a new certificate to Beakes,
w. Glenn Abbott, county clerk. Of
Montcalm county was denied q writ
OF mandamus, compelling the board
Of canvassers OF that county to re-
convene and change the result OF the
primary vote. Harmon w. Taylor was
awarded the nomination for county
clerk on the Republican ticket over
Abbott. but the supreme court holds
that a technical error by the inspect
.ors does not invalidate the whole
vote in one township rs claimed by
Abbott
The supreme court also declared
Claude c. Ritze is the Republican
candidate for Judge OF probate In
Iron county. The present incumbent.
Fred II. Abbott, asked q recount after
being defeated at the primaries. but
some OF the ballot boxes were not
properly sealed and the court held
