St0neman Says
 Committee Wlll
 Not Go To Bat

There will be a contest said the governor ~ss
 The democratic central committee will aid in a recount only as private individuals. members O. the party would aid" quoth Chairman George J. Stoneman.
 Both statements were made shortly after The Republican had tabulated its final, complete and official state wide returns on the gubernatorial race last evening.
 T have little to say at this time" said Governor Hunt, when seen at his home on Mcdowell road. "I can as- sure you that there will be a demand Tor recount"
 Asked if he could indicate where re- counts would be askec, his excellency replied:
 ''I cannot say now"
 Mir. StOneman was more explicit. "If there Is contest, it will not be in the name of the central committee. From my own information. judge that a resurvey of the ballots will be asked in Navajo Coconino. Maricopa, Mo- have, Cochise and possibly in Yuma counties.
 "I do not agree with The Republi- cans editorial relating to the statutes governing balloting. My belief is that the only place where the election board is permitted to determine the in tent of the voter is in regard to names written into the ballot. That is GOV cred in Paragraph 29SO. The preceding paragraph, l hold, is not intended to give the board the rights claimed for it. Ballots marked to vote the straight democratic ticket and then marked for Mir. Campbell are susceptible of three aft ha ct for Campbell, ignored for either Camp bell or Hunt and counted for the rest of the ticket, or thrown out altogether.
 "If Tom Campbell received more le- gally cast ballots than Governor Hunt, l want to see him sit as governor do not believe Mir. Campbell would care to be elected by any othef than absolutely lawful votes. My interest in the contest now. is purely that of a member of the democratic party"
 The final gathering together of of- ficial returns was made without the presence in Phoenix of Tom Campbell the republican candidate. Mir. Camp bell had left for the north and could not be consulted regarding his atti- tude toward a contest of the election
 Chairman Maddock of the republican state central committee stated that the republicans would stay with their can ddate through a contest, and would endeaVor to see that fair and square trial of the issue should take place He added that for ten days he had withheld statements, though much i'm portuned to make them, because he knew the vote would be close. Figures pouring into the republican headquar- ters for the past two weeks have con yinced the committee that the differ ence in the votes of Hunt and Camp bell would be less than 100 and at the least, about 36.
