Ocean County Returns Disputed

- ANSA0A 10 A%lORatO4.
A dispute on the election returns for
congressman in Ocean county is caus-
ing trouble. When the county board
of elections met yesterday to canvass
the returns the two Democratic MEM
bers refused to proceed with the can
Yass OF the vote on the f1imsiest pre-
texts. They tried to hold up the can
vass on the ground that one return
was made on a sheet of white paper
lnsteadNof on sheet OF blue paper.
Then giving up that contention they
refused to count the votes of Beach
Haven Borough and the west district
of Dover, Toms River village, because
the election boards from these two dis
tricts made the return of votes in fig
ures instead of spelling out the num-
bers in words. The purpose of the
hold-up is shown in the words of law
yer A. J. G. Stokes, of Freehold, of
counsel for Thomas J. Scully, the
present congressman, who on the face
of the returns is defeated by eleven
votes when he said that if the canvass
of the votes could be delayed ten days
the Democratic Secretary OF State al
Trenton would be compelled to give 8
certificate of election on the returns be-
fore him, those of Middlesex and Mon
mouth counties, which would give
Scully majority of 10.
Ocean county, whose vote is being
held up by the refusal of the Democrat.
ic members to count, gave Carson 9
majority of 721, enough to offset the
majorities for Scully in the other two
counties by eleven votes. Scully was
represented by lawyers T. V. Ar
rowsmith and A. J. C. Stokes, OF
Monmouth county, and Wilfred H.
Jayne, Jr., of Lakewood. The latter
made no secret of his opinion that the
votes from Beach Haven and West
Dover should be counted as returned
/ by the local election boards, and ad.
vised that the count proceed. Beach
Haven gave 70 votes for Carson and q
for Scully; West Dover gave Carson 194
votes to 1O1 for Scully. William
Howard Jeffrey, of Toms River, who
represented Carson, characterized the
action as "a plain steal"
