] JUDGE DE HANDS ALL BALLOTS IN
 CONTEST

 count of ballots begin immediately before the ballots from other coun- ties are received, Judge R. c. Stan ford stated from the bench that no decision would be given by him on a partial recount and that all of the ballots must be before him before a decision is rendered.
 He ordered recount of the bal lots in Maricopa county to begin at 9:3Q a. m. on Tuesday, giving Frank E.. Curley, attorney for the governor, AS hours in which to show his good faith and dismiss contests brought against Campbell by him on behalf of the governor in Mohave and Navajo counties in which fraud was alleged.
 Senator Ives said that there would be no charge of fraud brought and to this Curley assented.
 Senator Ives promised to furnish bond of $2,000 for costs on be- half of the governor after Judge Sloan representing Campbell had ob- jected to the bond of $500 as in- sufficient.
 Counsel for Campbell strenuously opposed the motion of Ives to begin the recount at once but were Counsel contended that the ballots were in some cases in custody of the superior courts of other counties, some in local contests and in two counties brought by Frank Curley one of Hunts coun- sel.
 Sidney Osborn told Tom Campbell on the telephone today that he was going to issue a certificate of cleo ton to him but would take his time about it and would not be driven 'by unfriendly newspapers.
 Campbell Refused His Certificate
 PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. Il, 2 p. m. When Tom Campbell called today on Sidney F. Osborn for his certificate of election the latter refused it, after having informed the governor-elect over the telephone that he would be the first candidate to receive his pa- pers. Osborn's action is taken to mean that Senator Ives, representing Governor Hunt, will apply to the court for some sort of an order di- rected to Osborn, enjoining him from issuing the election certificate. It is evident that the Hunt machine is working well and that all of the cogs are well greased. Campbell Names HiIzinger to Be His Inspector.
 PHOENIX, Dec. IA recount of the votes in Maricopa county in the HuM- Campbell contest will be- gin today, George O. Hilzinger, named by Tom Campbell, as his in spector, having arrived from Tucson with Judge John H. Campbell.
 E. s. Clark, of Prescott, retained by Tom Campbell as additional coun- sel, also arrived on the scene. MT. Campbell has a battery of five attor- neys, with local counsel in nearly every county.
 HiIzinger Named
 Judge John H. Campbell, counsel for Tom Campbell and George c. Hilzinger, who has been appointed by MT. Campbell as his representa- tive Oh the commission which will recount the ballots left last night for Phoenix. Judge Campbell went to the capital to participate today in hearing before Judge R. c. Stan ford of the Superior Court of Mari copa county of a demurrer filed by Tom Campbell to Hunts petition in which the jurisdiction of the court to hear contest is questioned.
 It is the contention of counsel for MT Campbell that under the decision of the Supreme court in the Osborn case, which was the suit in which the Supreme court held that state officers held over after the first state election, there can be no legal dec1ar- ation of result and as contest is predicted on a declaration of result the statutes are incomplete and give the court no jurisdiction of contest 
 Stanford Reverses Himself
 Completely reversing his decision in the case of Grandy vs Laney, an action between two democrats, Judge Stanford held on Saturday afternoon that Hunt could have a commission appoitned to recount the ballots in the entire state even before the is- sues in the case are framed and it l is demonstrated that the contestants | petition is good and not frivolous. | The ruling forced MT. Campbell into court immediately and he had been compelled to file a demurrer and l. answer at once. A hurried consul ,ation of his counsel was called for .oday to frame the pleadings. The aw gives him ten days to answer.
 The court granted Ives motion Or a recount on a statute which says hat this may be done after suit is Counsel for Campbell con- ended that the case should at least ,e at issue before such action is aken. Judge Stanford appointed Thomas Nealson, local democratic Lttorney and a supporter of Hunt as Inspector. This gives Hunt two in- pectors to one for Campbell.
