Oklahoma City, Aug. Feeling
around the headquarters of Williams
and Robertson is intense today on ac-
count of a letter to Williams from
Robertson requiring a contest in coun-
ties in which there is a late increase
in votes over the first reports as claim
ed by Williams, and also in counties in
which the returns indicate a large in
crease of the Democratic vote over the
best record of past years.
Robertson proposes a commission of
four men, two to be named by each
candidate to make an investigation.
Williams in his reply in substance
agrees to an entire recount of the bal
lots in any county to be named by
Robertson.
Robertson claims the nomination by
from 5000 to 5000. Williams headquar-
ters announce that their man is ahead
5000 in complete returns received from
60 counties.
Jennings issued a statement that he
will file complaint ssainst Robertson
or Williams should either file an af-
fidavit that they spent not more than
$4,000. He has served notice on the
state election board that fraud has
been perpetrated and that contest will
be made.
The official count will be required
10 determine who has been nominated
for governor.

STRANGERS
RANSACK A
RESIDENCE
Supposed Burglars Go Through
Carmichael Home but Nothing
Missing. Valuables Untouched
Three Men Seen in Auto

Some time this week, probably on
Wednesday night. the home Of j. d.
Carmichael, corner Of Texas and Sew
enteenth street was entered by burg
lars though ransacked from cellar to
garret, rigid inventory Of the con
tents made this morning fails to re-
veal the loss OF any article, all of
which leaves the police Eondering as
to just what manner Of men did the
job.
For some weeks past Mr.. and Mrs.
Carmichael have been out of the city,
and while away. the house has been
cared for by Paul Arnold, neighbor.
The fact that the house had been rob
bed was discovered last night while
Mr.. Arnold was watering the flowers
at the Carmichael residence. He no
ticed that the back door was standing
open. Mrs. Arnold was called and
together they went through the house,
finding that every drawer, closet and
cupboard in the building had been
searched. The robbery was reported
to the police this morning, Mr.. Arnold,
the officers and Mr.. Barefoot partner
of Mr.. Carmichael making a thorough
investigation.
The result reveals nothing. Though
evidences of a thorough search of the
entire house were everywhere appar-
ent they could not discover the alb
sence Of a single article Quantities
of cut glass and silyerware were un-
touched
The tactics used and the apparent
fact that the only thing sought was
money, is cause for the belief that this
robbery is closely akin 90 the Love and
Hutson robberies of the past few
months. No clue as to the identity Of
the robbers was left and the police
really have very little from which to
work.
The use OF an automobiiA employed
by the Carmichael robbers is the only
way in which the affair differs from
the other two mentioned, and it is not
an established fact that those who
committed the others did not have an
automobile in waiting somewhere in
the vicinity. On one night this week,
and it is not established exactly what
night. an auto was seen to draw up in
front of the Carmichael residence The
lights were turned off, man stepped
from the car and went toward the
house. Two other persons were in the
machine. It was late at night, prob
ably about midnight, and the presence
OF the car was passed up and forgot
ten for the time being, as it was the
opinion that the Carmichaels were re
turning home. The next day the Incl
dent was forgotten and was only re
membered when the robbery came to
light
Entrance was effected through a
window in the rear. Evidence that
extra precautions against a surprise
had been taken by the operator. both
back and front doors were opened, the
front screen being hooked from the
inside. The back being left open, the
porch was Uttered with tub, wash
board and other cumbersome articles
Thus If one entered from the back
door, a stumble over the barricaue was
inevitable, which would create noise
