FULL CHESTERFIELD VOTE

The discovery of the missing precinct
in Chesterfield County yesterday morn
ing by Secretary ]. y. Brenaman, who
is counting the official returns of the
August primary, leaves the vote in
only twenty three counties and Fred
ericksburg city to be heard from. Tho
counters met yesterday morning. or at
least some of them met. Mr.. Brcna-
man decided that as the representa-
tives Of several candidates failed to
appear, the counting of the vote in the
twenty three remaining counties should
be postponed until the full committee
could be on hand Only Davis Bottom,
w. A Crenshaw and ]. r Sheppard.
Jr. met Mr.. Brenaman in the court
room of the State Corporation Commits
sion.
In reply to his communication OF
Friday, Secretary hrenaman received
word yesterday from the county chair
man Of Chesterfield to the effect that
the Pulliam's Store Precinct, for which
the carvassers could find no returns,
has been consolidated with the Straudc
Precinct. Accordingly Secretary Hren-
aman reported that all the RETURN from
Chesterfield County were in hand. The
Chesterfield returns were not tabulated
yesterday, fCb the same reason that the
incomplete returns from tWenly-lDEe
other counties were not touched.
10 Finish on Tuesday.
Mr.. Brenaman expects to complete
the task of tabulating the returns the
first of this week. AS tomorrow is a
legal holiday, session of the can
vassers will be called. but it is prob
able that MI Brenaman will summon
n meeting of his assistants for Tuesday
morning.
While the delay is annoying to all
concerned, it will serve TO allow time
for the secrctary's letters to reach the
county chair,ncn, and the missing re-
turns to be sent in. AS soon as every
precinct has been accounted for. Sec
rotary Brenanan will communicate
with Acting State Chairman Echois,
