T. Lucas, chairman Of the state board
of election commissioners, which had
general charge Of the special election
that was held Tuesday, for the pur-
pose Of electing a successor to the late

this morning that he proposes to re-
command to the board that Court
House box be thrown out on the
ground Of Irregularities Mr.. Lucas
declares that the election at Court
House precinct was not conducted ac-
cording to law in several particulars,
and will point out to his associates
several incidents that he regards as
irregularities and in decided variance
with the rules. It Is understood that
Mr. Lucas principal objections are
that duplicate registration certificates
were issued on election day, which he
regards as contrary to law, and that
voters were not compelled to display
tax receipts. Messrs. John r. Page

ciates on the board, which Is expected
to hold its meeting in a day or two
to declare the results. Court House

affected, If this box should be thrown
out, unless the four boxes not reported

roll up a solid vote for Mr.. Stokes. 80.
