Recount In Tuscola.

On the petition Of W. f. Hunt. de.
feated Progressive candidate for regiS
ter of deeds in Tuscola county, the
votes in three townships in that county
were recounted last week by the county
board of canvassers, with the result
that after the votes had all been gone
over very carefully Mr.. Hunt gained
two votes in one township and lost two
in another, while his successful Repub-
lican opponent lost one vote each in
two townships and two in the third In
one of these townships S3S votes were
polled, showing that the board had
done the counting in the first place in
an unusually accurate manner. The
attorney for Mr.. Hunt. o. 9. Rogner Of
Saginaw, stated to the Caro- Advertiser
at the conclusion of the recoun. that
the work "had been carefully con-
Quoted and that he had discovered no
evidence Of attempts at fraud in mark
ing the ballots. For the most part the
ballots were clear and distinct. showing
the intent Of the voter, and the result
of the recount showed that in the three
towns examined, at least, the canvass.
ing boards had been painstakipg and
accurate in their work." Mr.. Rogner
also expressed the opinion that the
probability of recount being asked for
by other candidates as remote. Q. f..
Hoffman of Owosso, was present
watching the proceedings to learn II
there would be developments making
1t seem advisable to ask for a recount
on the national, congressional and
legislative tickets" He had expected
the chairman of the Progressive state
committee to be in attendance but said
to the Advertiser after the recount that
he should not wire him to come, which
may be taken as evidence that Mr..
Hoffman did not discover anything
wrong. We have gone into this matter
to this extent because so many charges
have been floating around for ten days
past of alleged irregularities in the con-
duct Of election and the counting Of the

SHIAWASSEE COUNTY WINS
Judge futile in the U. S. District Court
Decides Against $4,000 McCurdy
Claim.

Corunna, Nov. 20.-The county Is
victorious in the suit brought against
1T by Hugh McCurdy Eaton of Akron,
Ohio, to recover total Of about $40,-
600 for money loaned the county
with interest by his grandfather, the
late Hugh McCurdy, at the time the
court house was built, according to a
telephone message received here on
Wednesday morning from Prosecut-
ing Attorney Collins, who, with By
ron p. Hicks of Durand, conducted
the case for the county. The case was
tried in the federal court at Detroit,
and Judge Arthur j. Tuttle rendered
the decision in a lengthy opinion CIV
en- off-hand.
Mr.. McCurdy loaned $4,000 at
the time of the court house building.
John T. McCurdy brought suit to
recover the amount, in the circuit
court, and was given verdict for the
full amount by Judge Wisner, who
presided in the case. The county ap-
pealed the case and the supreme
court reversed the decision of the
lower court.
The case was then dropped tempor-
arily until Mr.. Eaton, as one of the
heirs, filed suit in the federal court.
Later payment of the loan was re,
fused, on the ground that the board
of supervisors exceeded its authority
in borrowing the money.
About eight days were consumed in
the trial of the case in the federal
court.
