nations. AS the canvass proceeds.
however. slight changes are being
made In the totals, and in a number o.
counties recounts are to be made on
the governorship and the United

the final outcome in the former at
least a matter Of uncertainty for sev-
eral days.

Cabell county vote here gave a gafn
for Lilly. but this was Offset by sim.
liar gain for Robinson In Logan and

creased to 772. This figure, 1t is
thought, will not be changed materi.

 The travel of Maurice w. Flynn and Samuel H. Davis in the contest for represen tative in the general assembly from the Second Westerly district has been almost as kaleidoScopical as has
 been the returns in the national cleo i tion. Both Flynn and Davis were candidates for the nomination of rep lresentative in the republican caucus, and both names appeared on the off, l cial ballot by nomination papers, and | in addition Flynn had the endorsement | of the democrats. In the caucus Flynn was first declared the nominee by l Moderator Pe1dleton. Subsequently a i bunch of Davis ballots was found that | did not figure in the count for Davis. In consequence the moderator refused
 to- certify to the nomination of either.
 MT. Davls carried the matter to the
 supreme court, which refused to or
 der the moderator and clerk of the caucus to certify to the nomination,
 as in the mixup that followed the : moderator's original announcement a
 number of the ballots disappeared, and 1 therefore were not before the court
 to be counted.
 At the election last Tuesday the re- suit showed that Davis was elected by
 a majority Of g. Friday afternoon the 1 Westerly vote was recounted by the state returning board and the vote
 was found to be 431 for Davis and 412 for Flynn, the Davis majority being | increased to 1a. This is the final and l the official count, and Mr Davis is the | legally elected representative from the 1 Second district
