Sitting as Board of Canvsssers,
the Supervisors of Elections met at
the Court House this afternoon and
canvassed the official vote polled in
Tuesdays election in Anne Arundel
county.
Mr.. r. Tilghman Briee, chairman
of the Supervisors. was made presi-
dent of the canvassers. Owing TO
he large number of names on the
ballot this time, much time was con-
sumed in tabulating the returns. 1t
is not expected that the official can
vass will show much change compared
to the unofficial vote. Blair Lees
plurality will be about LOGS, while
those of Magruder and Bernhard for
Clerk of tbs Court of Appeals and
harrington over metzerott for State
Comptroller, will exceed 1900.

ties. the Senatorial candidates ran
