Public Service Corporation and its
allied companies to recover about
$15O,O0O paid the government under
protest under the old excise tax law,

Judge Hunt, after listening to brief
argument by Assistant United States

for the government, and Frank Ber-
gen and Edward A. Armstrong. for

time fixed by the statutes for the Ill
ing of suits TO recover moneys i'm

RAYMOND VOTE
IS G|vENA 1881
OVER THE MAYORS
Figures Will So Stand Until
County Clerk Completes
Tabulations.

Election returns from a large num-
ber of city districts were in such con-
fused shape that the clerks at the
City Hall were unable today to de-
termine just what the plurality of
Thomas L.. Raymond over Mayor
Haussling was.
The police figures were badly
bungled, and for this reason the tabu-
lations were made by two separate
sets Of clerks.
Each agreed upon the figures 1,181
as representing the Republican may
orally candidates plurality over the
Democrat, and agreed to let this
stand as correct until the county
clerks office had finished the work
of canvassing and tabulating the
vote. This work is now under way.
The figures as announced by County
Clerk McDonougn. will of course, be
official
