LEGES IRREGULARITIES AND

CATS AND KNOTT Il

The two-sided fight for the Gov
ernorship has developed, or will de-
velop, into three-cornered affair,
with the contest by Ion l.. Farris Of
the election In several counties.
This was the statement Of Mr..
Farris to the Florida Metropolis this
afternoon He has Just returned
from Tampa, where he went In the
interest of his candidacy, and not,
as was rumored. as an emissary Of
Sidney J. Cats, and MT, Farris Wig
orously denied the truth Of such rum
ors.
According to Mr.. Farris, his
friends In the southern part OF the
State have good reason to believe
that there were irregularities in
connection with the election and
cannot understand why he ran
third and fourth In counties and pre-
cincts which were conceded to- him
before election. Evidence is now be-
ing gathered to make fight for a
recount of the ballots in several
counties and the fight has thus de-
veloped into a three-cornered affair
between Mr.. Farris, s. j. Cats and
w. v. Knott.
Amy statement, report or rumor
that | went to Tampa in-the interest
of Mr.. Cats or Mr. Knott, is un-
qualifiedly false and without the
slightest foundation in point OF
fact" said Mr.. Farris.
I'm company with Mr.. Mcclellan,
my campaign manager, went to
Tampa Sunday night for the purpose
of comforting with my friends in
South Florida, who have reason to
believe that I received more votes
for Governor than the face of the
returns indicate. Ny friends are now
at work in q number of counties

CONTEST IN GOVERNORS
RACE INEVITABLE: No
CHANGE IN SITUATION
Jacksonville Metropolis. }

With both sides claiming the nom-
ination for Governor in the primary
held on the 9Th OF June, 1t became
definitely certain that an official
count by the State Canvassing Board
will be necessary to convince the
loser, and then 1t is expected that
whoever is declared the low man, ac-
tion in the courts will be taken. An
ticipating that legal steps might fol-
low by reason of the apparent close
ness of the gubernatorial race be-
tween Messrs. Knott and Cats, and
possibly Ion l., Farris, the attorney
general has telegraphrd all county
election officials to scrupulously
guard the election returns and bal
lot boxes, and IL signs are not far
wrong a long drawn out contest in
the courts, which might involve a
recount of all the ballots in most Of
the counties, is in prospect today.
Mr.. Cats claims the nomination
by AIT votes, with all counties
heard from, but if the figures upon
which he is basing his claims are
the same as given to the Metropolis
several days ago. there is a chance
that a number OF the counties are
given wrong totals. The official count
of yolusia county, as received by the
Metropolis this morning. gives the
county to Knott by seven votes.
whereas in the past it has been gem
orally conceded to Mr. Cats.

county vote follow:

to say when the State Canvassing

law requires all counties to begin q
count of the vote not more than six

limit as to when the count must be
completed. They must reach Talla-

twenty days after the primary.

BODY OF MURDERED AMERICAN |S
 FOUND
Corpse of H. J. Mckinney Discover ed Hanging to Tree 60 Miles South of Columbus.

Columbus, N M, March 22.-Ad- ditional details of the finding of the body of H. J Mckinney, the Ameri- can ranch foreman, killed by Villas command on it's march on Columbus two weeks ago, today, were reported to military authorities here tonight.
 The body was found by infantrymen under command of Captain Richmond Smith, Sixth infantry of General J. IJ. Pershings command, hanging from "a cottonwood tree about a mile from Boca Grandes, 70 miles south of Columbus, according to the report. It was nude and terribly mutilated. In addition to being hanged, Mckinney had been shot numerous times. The tree from which the body swung was the only one in lonely sandy waste emphasized here and there with dumps of sage brush and mesquite. Two weeks time had obliterated any signs
 of the struggle that may have taken place.
 The story of the murder of McKin-
 ney and two American companions
 was told by Mrs. Hattie Wright, wife
 of an American ranchman, who, after her husband had been killed, was
 forced to accompany the bandits from her home in Chihuahua for nine days before the raid on Columbus.

NO FEDERAL GUARD
 FOR ARIZONA TOWNS

TOMBSTONE, March 21.@There will be no federal aid to the towns of Cochise county except those immedi- ately exposed to raids from Mexico according to the message that was received by Sheriff Wheeler in reply to the one that he sent to Gen. Funs- ton. The telegram received this morning read as follows:
 Replying to your telegram the de- partment commander directs me to inform you that it is impossible to furnish guards from federal troops to all towns in New Mexico and Arizona that have asked for them No less than twenty towns have requested guards. You can therefore see that federal troops would be scattered across these two states and would not be available for any concentrated ac- tion. The only points that have been given guards are those that were in imminent danger of raids by hostile forces from across the border All towns that think themselves in dan ger of local uprising must depend up- on their local authorities first and upon state authorities next to give them protection. Federal troops can not be sent until after National Guard of state shall have exhausted it's efforts
