Continued from Page One)

fetal return gave Mr.. Boothby l53 and
Mr.. Meader 10, the new totals taking two
votes from those previously reported for
Mr.. Boothby and 10 from MIR. Meader. 1t
was understood that these votes had
been thrown out as defective but had
been counted in the previously reported
total.
At the session of the municipal officers
the situation was discussed long after
the returns had been canvassed as noted
above Mr.. Meader was present and it is
probable will ask for a recount before a
supreme court justice after an inspection
of the ballots. City Solicitor Carroll \.
Perkins was present as the legal adviser
of the city and the discussion was con-
tinued far into the night.
The feeling was general that Mr.. Booth.
by had been elected mayor fairly and
squarely, though by margin tina, it wa.
hoped would be more substantial.
The sure Republican wards are Ward
One Ward Three. Ward Four and Ward
Five. so that in the event that Mr.. Mea-
der is declared elected he will face a
Republican city government there being
seven wards in the city.
With Wards Six and Seven Democratic
the doubtful ward is Ward Two On the
face of the returns Henry w Butler ap-
pears to be elected by one vote over
George B. Butler. Democrat, to the ONCE
Of alderman. while Edwin T. Norton
Republican. and Ernest j. Marshall,
Democrat. seem to be the successful can
didates for councilmen. An inspection
of the ballots might result in an agree
ment among the candidates that would
change this result or the recount. if pe-
titioned for, might make a difference
either way
